The Princess
by Gunnar Mattsson
For Seija, a young Finnish nurse afflicted with Hodgkin's disease, the prospect for a happy life was bleak. She was beautiful, eager for marriage and children, yet apparently doomed to die without either. Then she met and fell in love with Gunnar Mattsson. Together they found the will to defy the appalling odds, marry and have a child. This is the tender story of their love and of a faith that made happiness possible when all chance for it seemed lost.


At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends
by Dwight D. Eisenhower
One of the major books of recent years, this reminiscence by the former President of the United States reveals, in an informal and delightful way, the events which shaped his life. "Ike" revisits the days of his youth when he was a high-spirited, outspoken and often disciplined cadet. he talks about his Kansas boyhood, the parents who meant so much to him, and his own marriage and children. And he recalls the colorful personalities he knew as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, and the fateful decisions he was called upon to make. This charming and important memoir will be cherished by millions of Americans.


The Least One
by Borden Deal
"My folks never lived in no huddle with nobody," Boy Sword remembered his mother saying when she first laid eyes on Bugscuffle Bottoms, the cheerful, down-at-heel farming community where the Swords were to spend an eventful few years struggling to make ends meet. For Boy there were special worries -- fights at school, the nagging problem of his name, and a certain attraction for trouble of all kinds, like causing a near-fatal accident to his father. But the Swords were strong in adversity, and each crisis they weathered left Boy a little wiser in what life was all about. Set in the rural South during the Depression, this remarkable family saga is by turns poignant, suspenseful and delightfully funny.


Currahee!
by Donald Burgett
At eighteen, Donald Burgett became a paratrooper. In less than a year he was transformed from an inexperienced boy into a skilled and daring killer, ready for the critical battle of World War II -- the invasion of Normandy. His book is a vivid personal record of what it was like to be at the very center of violence, an ordinary soldier's remembrance of the bravery of the fighting men, their defiant humor and unshakable dedication to their country. That nothing like it has been written before is, perhaps, sad testimony that few paratroopers survived this incredible ordeal. Yet Burgett was able to return to a family life and make peace with the horrors he had known.


The Walking Stick
by Winston Graham
While still a young woman, Deborah Dainton resigned herself to a comfortable, undemanding existence. She reserved her energies to cope with her difficult family and the crippling results of polio. There was no room in her life for love, least of all for Leigh Hartley, a strangely attentive young artist. yet she had to fight against his charm, and in spite of her resistance, he skillfully led her into a life she'd been afraid to dream of, as well as into danger she could not escape. This is that most unusual of books, a gripping suspense story with a vital and richly human cast.
