A Life Worth Dreaming About, Nicholas Dettmann
Carl Robertson, a 32-year-old man, did everything he could to move out of his
small Midwestern town, losing many friends along the way. He dreamt of living
the elegant lifestyle of New York City. He used his anger and hatred to move out
of his hometown, discredit it and never wanted to think about it again. For a
while, it worked. Then, he finds his life on the ropes and doesn't know why or
how to change it. That is, until he meets a man who will change his life forever
and in a way he never could've seen coming. Suddenly, he finds himself trying to
catch up to a new reality, just in time to save his life and find his true love.

Here We Are and There We Go, by Jill Dobbe
Who says you can’t travel with kids? My husband, Dan, and I do just that as we set off with our two very young kids, first to live and work on an island far out in the Pacific, then on to the continent of Africa with a few stops in between. Armed with strollers, diapers, and too much luggage, we travel to over 25 countries throughout a 10-year span, while working together as overseas educators. After surviving typhoon Yuri, almost being mauled by lions, and, nearly shot by a presidential guard, we happily endure all of the good times and bad, while living life to the fullest.
