When Danish immigrant soldier, Hans Olufsen, heads west in 1856 seeking land of his own, he meets and marries an Indian woman named Little Feather. They settle in the Sheyenne River Valley of what is now North Dakota. Together they negotiate many disputes and settlements between the white man and the Indians. Hundreds of whites are killed during the Minnesota Sioux Uprising of 1862. Hans must use artillery skills that he learned in the Danish army to defend Fort Abercrombie. When some three hundred Indians are imprisoned and condemned to death, Hans and Little Feather go to Washington, D.C. with a preacher to plead for President Abraham Lincoln's intervention. Lincoln frees all but thirty-eight of the Indians, of whom one is Little Feather's nephew. Following the Civil War, Hans and Little Feather return home, where Little Feather teaches prairie survival and English to the immigrant women. But after the massacre of General Custer and his troops in 1876, the community turns against Little Feather and her children. This social upheaval threatens to destroy all that Hans and Little Feather have worked so hard to create. It Just Didn't Happen tells the story of their adventurous and loving life together.

Liquid Ecstasy, Ruffies and Forget-Me Pills are all slang terms for date rape drugs now commonly used by sex offenders. One should be called Liquid Hell for all the agony, grief and despair it caused Nadege Anthony. She grew up in a working class section of Boston and was able to overcome many of the temptations in her environment. She graduated with honors from college with a degree in Computer Science and then went on to become a rising star in her field. That all came to an abrupt end after she befriended Derick -- who would later become her lover. Her association with him almost ruined her life and it took her almost ten years to find out most of the answers. Liquid Ecstasy (or GHB) had left her with amnesia and she had been labeled a manic-depressive. But, it was their cold, calculated and deliberate act of taking her baby that kept her from submitting to that diagnosis and to persevere in her search for the truthThat might sound funny but many of today's sex offenders get away clean because Liquid Ecstasy (or GHB) causes amnesia. If you think drink spiking only happens in bars between strangers, think again. Ever hung out with a trusted friend or associate and woke up unable to remember details of the night before? Street preparations of the drug are easy to produce and when mixed with alcohol, the victim appears extremely intoxicated. Since the crime is one of control, many times successful, confident looking women -- normally out of their reach -- are targeted. However, gender doesn't really matter when it comes to being susceptible. This book will make you laugh. It will make you angry and, it might make you cry. It could happen to you, your wife, your husband, your teenager or even your grandmother. The book will also teach you what to look for in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
