Six-year-old Helen and Ellie are identical twins, but Helen is smarter, more popular, and their mother’s favorite. Ellie, on the other hand, requires special instruction at school, is friendless, and is punished at every turn. Until they decide to swap places--just for fun, and just for one day--and Ellie refuses to switch back. Everything of Helen’s, from her toys to her friends to her identity, now belongs to her sister.

ELIZABETH ARCHER uncovers the truth about her family and flees England under an assumed name to start a new chapter of her life in Kansas. Fate intervenes and leads her to Silver Falls, Colorado, where she must choose with which man her heart belongs—the attractive preacher who’d sent for a mail-order-bride or the charming outrider whose arms had provided comfort and strength, but who has every right to despise her.

In the 1950s women were seen as docile homemakers due to the propaganda of the vocal but few feminazis of the 1960s. The 1970s through the 1990s women experienced the fallout of the so-called liberation of women with a rise of angst and self-consciousness that led to depression, image issues, and guilt. Today the traditional woman, the new lady, is standing up to the lies of the culture and media and proclaiming, enough! Women don't want to be enslaved, patronized, labeled, or invaded.

Kate Callahan spends her days learning the cattle trade, but when her father is murdered, leaving her alone to run the vast Wyoming ranch, she places an ad for a mail-order husband, unsuspecting that her heart could become a part of the bargain. Noah Deardon is given an opportunity to take over a ranch of his own on the outskirts of Laramie; however, there’s a catch....it comes with a wife.

Lucas Deardon leaves Oregon in search of his estranged grandfather with the hope he’ll be able to mend their broken relationship and save his family’s ranch in the process, but he never imagined the journey would lead him to the one woman whose kindness and intoxicating smile could tempt him enough to marry.

She hoped it would be love… Emma Foster leaves her precious Boston to make a life in the West only to discover her betrothed has been killed and his brother is to take his place in their marriage agreement. When information comes to light that could change their contract, she must decide if she'll risk everything to experience the heat of his gaze and the warmth of his touch forever. He never expected she would change his heart…

A beguiling exploration of the joys of reading across boundaries, inspired by the author's yearlong journey through a book from every country. Ann Morgan writes in the opening of this delightful book, "I glanced up at my bookshelves, the proud record of more than 20 years of reading, and found a host of English and North American greats starting down at me.... I had barely touched a work by a foreign language author in years.... The awful truth dawned. I was a literary xenophobe."

The small town of Thistleberry, Montana, has been graced with its very own Father Christmas. Gabe Deardon has spent years trying to make up for the past, but when his boys and their families come together for the holidays, he discovers that it'll take more than making a few toys for children to repair his long-estranged relationships.

Helen and Ellie are identical twins—like two peas in a pod, everyone says. The girls know this isn’t true, though: Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day. But Ellie refuses to swap back. And so begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen.

Edie is struggling. She’s increasingly confused, but she can’t let the women in the village find that out - they’d only talk. But she’s forgetting so much - forgetting to wear matching clothes, forgetting to bake one of her walnut cakes for the church sale...and forgetting to lock the front door...until one day she wakes to find Jonah in her house and herself in her past. Jonah is struggling. The journey to England was illegal and dangerous, and he’s the only one who survived - and he still hasn’t made it to London.

Hai mai avuto paura di restare intrappolata nella vita di un'altra? Helen ed Ellie sono gemelle. Identiche. Almeno così le vedono gli altri. Ma le due bambine sanno che non è così: Helen è la leader, Ellie la spalla. Helen decide, Ellie obbedisce. Helen pretende, Ellie accetta. Helen inventa i giochi, Ellie partecipa. Finché Helen ne inventa uno un po' troppo pericoloso: scambiarsi le parti. Solo per un giorno. Dai vestiti alla pettinatura ai modi di fare. Ed ecco che Ellie, con la treccia di Helen, comincia a spadroneggiare, mentre Helen si finge la sottomessa e spaventata Ellie.
