Mrs. Gari Melchers
An artist marries an artist.
​
Brilliant Corinne Mackall meets the love of her life Gari Melchers on a ship where she’s headed to the Paris Salon to exhibit her paintings. It’s the early 1900s and Corinne quickly finds out that the art world is not so equal in how it treats men and women artists. She marries Gari and helps to promote his career rather than focus on her own artwork. Gari becomes a famous portraitist, muralist, and American Impressionist painter of the time, comparable to his friends John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler. Does Corinne lose her identity and become Mrs. Gari Melchers? All she wants is respect for her accomplishments in painting. Based on the true story of Corinne and Gari Melchers as they move from an art school in seaside Holland to an art studio in Weimar Germany before the Great War and finally to their estate Belmont in central Virginia.

Look! You're Dancing
A memoir of dogs, dance and devotion
​
In Joyce A. Miller’s memoir, Look! You’re Dancing, she enters two worlds when she adopts a retired racing greyhound and decides to do canine freestyle, or dog dancing. Miller had a less than ideal childhood and felt she was an imposter for most of her life, not fitting in anywhere. When she worked with the greyhound adoption group and helped the sleek racers find their forever homes, she felt fulfilled. And when she started dancing, first with her greyhound and then tap dancing with a group of friends, she felt she finally found true friendship and a safe place that brought out the best in her. Look! You’re Dancing explores the unique bond between a hound and a human and how something as simple as a dance enriches both lives.

Joe Harris, the Moon
A dream to play baseball in the World Series and the determination to get there.
Joe Harris’ journey begins in the coal mines of southwestern Pennsylvania at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Recruited by professional baseball scouts to play first base in the minor leagues, Joe gets his nickname, “the Moon,” and his big break to play for the Cleveland Indians. Playing in the major leagues is cut short by the First World War, where Joe is severely injured in an ambulance accident. When Joe returns from Europe and leaves the Indians to play in an “outlaw league,” he’s given a second chance to play organized baseball. Determined to realize his dream, Joe bats for the Pittsburgh Pirates against Babe Ruth’s New York Yankees in the 1927 World Series.
Will Joe’s injuries from the war intertwined with the financial problems of the Depression compel him to retire from baseball?
