Kind: A Christmas short story of by Kellyn Roth
Story starts with Neil and he's stationed overseas and will miss a Christmas stateside. He goes with some of the other guys but keeps away from the drinking.
He sees a woman struggling with little ones and holding packages and offers his help-she is a German and he's a US military man.
Over time she invites him to dinner and he fixes things around the house as he knows her spouse died and she has so many to take care of.
Love how the family adopts him and super love the question the mother of the family asks him on Christmas, PRICELESS!

The Lady of the Vineyard by Kellyn Roth
Have read other works by the author and enjoyed the reads.
This one is about Judy and she almost ready to attend school and lives with her mother. They live in a small apartment and across the street is the flower shop that she and friend work at and own.
Day of Judy's birthday a mysterious man shows up and he knows who Judy is and talks to her as she runs an errand across the street for her mother.
The grandmother is also around and they can't wait to have the party.
The man turns out to be her real father and he wants to take her back with him to his home country, and to the vineyard.
She loves the area and never wants to go back but she also will miss her mother.
Her mother gets very lonely and even breaks off her engagement and does some hard thinking of the future...

Hydrogen Peroxide Cures by Sandi Lane
Table of contents were different problems are shown and the cures for them.
Interesting to know about the different percentages from the items on the store shelves.
Short intro and understanding what hydrogen peroxide is.
Love how each of the problems are discussed thoroughly so you can treat them at work. get the wounds and cuts clean and how a mixture can even be used on your yellowed toes and yeast infections on your body.
Don't follow using it on food, just doesn't sound right or FDA would be making companies do it before it's sold.
Extra chapters on herbs and spices, gardening with them.
