A rare chance in the courtroom resulted in a blunder, which sent Charley into the claims department of family owned Vesuvius Insurance Company. Claire and John had no idea what surprises were in store for them with this change. And at age twenty-eight, Charley Alcott decided he would search for his true identity. Will he fi nd the answers he is looking for in his haven, at Charley’s Lake? Readers can fi nd out as they follow his metamorphosis in this captivating read.

"Mary Ann Berry has given us a riveting story [that] transcends the everyday and reveals how one family has written its chapter in the fascinating story of America." William R. Gray Retired writer, editor and publishing executive after 33 years at the National Geographic Society Author of Legacy of the West Charley's Girl tells the tale of a scrappy farm girl in central Oregon fighting her only classmate in front of their one-room schoolhouse--to a feisty octogenarian snowshoeing in Durango, Colorado. Along the way, Mary Alma Christy Sablich also recalls her more than fifty years spent in Chicago and its suburbs as worried wife, nervous mother, and grateful grandma. Charley's Girl offers a dual-perspective on the life that Mary Alma and her daughter (author Mary Ann Berry) share as Berry listens, records, and remembers, too. This country was built on the backs of regular folks like the Christy family who rose to the task with common sense, healthy humor, and simple dignity. It takes courage to live an ordinary life, and Charley's Girl provides one example that has worked for almost a century.

Ordinary schoolboy Charley leads a normal life: do homework, spend time with Tom, and listen to her mother. However, he has a separate agenda: become the daring and adventurous Captain Charles Stewart. Charley's logs illustrate his journey on the way to the open seas.

They are also very clear about where Charley will be sleeping: Charley will be sleeping in the kitchen. But when the crying starts in the middle of the night, Henry knows right away that it’s Charley! And it looks like his parents’ idea about where Charley is going to sleep may have to change. With warmth, humor, and endearing simplicity, Amy Hest tells a tale familiar to everyone who has loved a puppy, while Helen Oxenbury renders each tender gesture and charming detail in a beauty of a book that children will be eager to take home.
