First published in 1998. This is Volume X of the fifteen in the Sociology of Gender and the Family series and offers a sociological study of Chinese familism. The Golden Wing written in 1948 is a sociological study written in the form of a novel. Its theme is refreshingly simple in conception but like the painting of a bamboo leaf, its austere form conceals a high degree of art. The story sets out to examine why, of two families living side by side in a Fukien village in South China, and related by kinship and business interests, one should continue to prosper through adversity and the other should first flourish and then decline.

A very tempting distraction… Eric Sheridan is ready to start a family…as soon as he can find a suitable wife, that is.

Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, returns in Dianne Freeman’s charming, lighthearted mystery set in Victorian England, and finds her wedding day overshadowed by murder . . . On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor, Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline’s father is not among the guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene—holding the murder weapon. Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies. Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name. But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking another life—Frances’s newlywed days will be perilous indeed . . .

In the days after God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden, His fairies, Faith, Hope, Serenity, Passion, and little Curiosity, were concerned about Him being sad and lonely. Upon meeting The Creator in the Garden's morning mist, the fairies asked if they could help find new friends for Him. God chuckled at the fairies' concern and offered an alternative. "Would you like to find people to build a storehouse in which I can keep all My unclaimed gifts and blessings?" The fairies' search takes them to the Florida wilderness. Their only caveat: they may not change the course of history and God alone controls life and death. In 1872, three young Christian men, John, Leo, and Jake, each leave their homes in search of new lives. Together they cut out a rustic community from the uncharted territory of Florida. With their strong faith in God, each other's support, and a second-hand sawmill, these men built a community and a storehouse, later known as The Warehouse. How did they accomplish this monumental task? What hardships did they face? What did God have in store for these men? How would God's plan affect a great-great-granddaughter more than a century later?
