A triumphant tale of forbidden love that will delight Barbara Samuel’s many romance fans while tackling the serious issue of racism in our not-so-distant past.

An unforgettable romance in an unforgiving time.

They’ll need love and courage to see the dawn.

arbara Samuel is a multiple award-winning author with more than 38 books to her credit in a variety of genres. Her work has captured a plethora of awards, including six RITAs; the Colorado Center for the Book Award (twice); Favorite Book of the Year from Romance Writers of America, and the Library Journal’s list of Best Genre Fiction of the year, among many others.

Some words about the Author

When she was 15, Barbara Samuel wrote in her diary that she wanted to “write books, see the world, and be happy.” She’s delighted to be still working on all three.

The beloved romance and women’s fiction writer has won the highly prestigious RITA award from Romance Writers of America 7 times and has been recently inducted into the RWA Hall of Fame. In the tradition of Kristin Hannah, Susan Wiggs, Maeve Binchy, and Barbara Freethy, she writes a highly emotional stories about families, food, dogs, and love. Many of her novels include recipes, and she has been known to cook in response to any stressful situation, learning that cooking is like life–sometimes things go wrong, but if you keep trying, eventually you’ll get it right.

Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Waking Up?Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, Are You Waking Up? is another book offered by Amazon written by Bill Martin Jr.  and Laura J. Bryant.  The price is $1.99 today only.

“A dawdling kitten and her patient mother take part in a daily ritual that will be familiar to parents and children: “Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, are you waking up? Not yet Mother, I’m a sleepy buttercup.” The two continue their back-and-forth exchange as Kitty Cat dilly-dallies and Mother urges her through each step of the morning routine and gets her off to school. Martin uses the repetitive formula that worked so well in Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do you See? (1983) and, more recently, Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? (2007, both Holt), but this time the cumulative questions actually advance a narrative. Kitty Cat is the star of her own show, romping across the pages, knowing that she will eventually get to where she needs to be. There is never a sense of urgency on Mother’s part, either, which makes the final line “Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat, now we have to go! Okay, Mother, I’m sorry I’m so slow” seem like an unexpected chastisement. The accompanying picture of mother and daughter sharing a warm hug helps to defuse the negativity. Bryant’s illustrations, rendered in watercolor and colored pencil, are playful, light, and absolutely adorable. This book is perfect for sharing one-on-one, preferably while snuggling.” — School Library Journal, July 2008
