Good to Her is a historical literary novel set against the backdrop of the famous New York City restaurant, Dinty Moore’s, which stood at the corner of 46th Street just off Broadway for some 50 years.
Enlivened by the irascible character of the restaurant’s real-life proprietor, James “Dinty” Moore, the novel takes readers back to the days of Prohibition and the police raids foisted on Moore’s establishment, often resulting in his compulsory appearance in court.
The novel moves forward through 1964, exploring the changing political and social life of the times, and focusing on the marriage of Nate Neumann, a successful New York City businessman, and Sallie, his much younger wife.
Having fled the confines of small-town Indiana, Sallie comes to New York with dreams of becoming an actress. She meets Nate in Dinty Moore’s. Sallie is 20 and fresh off the farm. Nate is 46 and instantly smitten. The story is brightened by appearances or references to celebrities who frequent the place such as Walter Winchell, Lauren Bacall, and Humphrey Bogart.
Sallie is prone to telling Nate how Good to Her he is. Nate wonders, Is he really?

As the years pass, it seems things spin further and further out of control, and a series of unfortunate events seem to follow the House of Rockwin, among others, all across Rock's Edge, North's End, and even further into this realm of medieval mysteries.
Moses is put into the Nile, hoping to save him from the edict and death. But everyone knows he is Hebrew and despite being taken in by Pharaoh's sister he falls under the law and must die.
Elizabeth is a woman, so joining the army to fight for her country is out of the question. Or is it?
Angered by Andrew's words and too adventurous to sit at home and witness the invasion of her country, Elizabeth decides to try what no woman has ever done before: become a nurse in the army.

Moragan is not a conventional slave. She is about 10, Irish, and has a habit of speaking her mind – a trait that annoys Anne profoundly! Moragan, does not know the rules and conventions of being a slave – much less being a body servant, so Anne trains her. It is not an easy task for either one of them, and Moragan is certain her behind will be completely worn away before she learns to behave!
As America begins to fall apart at the seams, Anne and Moragan begin to forge a completely different relationship. Moragan runs Wexford House for Anne, and she learns what it means to be a slave from both perspectives: owner and owned. Anne always reminds Moragan that she and all the other servants are only stock, and not ‘people’.
Both of them are products of their time: and as Anne learns how to govern the society under her, she and Moragan discover who they truly are.
Florence Patson is on her way to visit an aunt when a group of rough, merciless men kidnap her. Their leader is the handsome, but dangerous, Alex. She is at his mercies and cannot find a way to escape. Will Florence be raped, murdered or worse? Or will her heart be stolen by Alex?
