Carolina Comfort Three generations of one family journaled through memoirs and experiences. One portion of the book follows the correspondence of a young woman and her friends, linking over two hundred postcards sent in the early 1900's. Highlights of the fifties gleaned from family activities remind the reader of what used to be. Another section of the book describes a non-traditional choice of living aboard a boat to travel the East Coast waterways. Readers align themselves with strong family values found in this Southern family testament. "Her work is refreshing in that she draws the reader into the descriptions of bygone eras, from the sparkle of the punch bowl to the aroma! of food in the kitchen," Elizabeth Sherrill awarding the Paul Green Multimedia Award for this book. Another judge says of "My Dear Miss Kate," "What a unique way to approach preservation! Dodd takes a box of postcards dating back to the early 1900's... to provide us with an often comical social history of that era...tremondously interesting to judge." Awarded the Willie Parker Peace History Book Award.A NC native, Karen Dodd continues her stories of growing up in the 1950's. Her stories describe living on the coast and aboard her boat as she cruised the waters between Baltimore and Marathon. Brief glances at her strong family upbringing, loss of her parents and older sister, and finding joy in grandchildren and herself after cancer.

From Dee Daily of The Romance Studio:
"Dawn DeAnna Wilson pens one of those tales of a small town and its colorful characters that is a joy to read. Even though the story is about people and their insecurities the way it's told is priceless. The Mayor, Queen, the Snake
Lady and many othe! rs evolve throughout. Their antics and the way the author brings the town to life make a perfect backdrop to a love story that has to help two people find the way to become who they want to be. Blythe's story is a
sad one in some ways but she brings so much joy to the book with her antics. Her exuberance is almost palpable as we read. Austin seems like an insecure man who has to come to terms with his life, his comparing himself to others
and always falling short. Rather than take risks that might upset others he buries himself in action heroes while she hides within the ever-changing stories she tells."
