After weeks of work on Jack's washing machine model, a promoter named Mister Ayers offers to buy the design and provide capital to develop it for market, promising Jack a good living. However, the woman learns that the money Jack was saving with her to buy a house and marry will now be tied up in the business venture. When she attempts to discourage Jack from the deal, he refuses to listen, and their relationship deteriorates until a construction accident injures her, forcing David to confront what truly matters and leading them to reconcile with the realization that their love is worth more than any financial gain.
Ann was everything — the brilliant student, the engaged fiancée of Dane Howell, the girl with the world at her feet — until a cocky psychology experiment at the local penitentiary spiraled into an obsession she couldn't control. What started as a demonstration of her powers of persuasion on a prisoner named Johnny became something far more serious, and now the man she loves won't even look at her. As the consequences of her reckless game close in, Ann discovers that some lessons can't be unlearned, and some hearts, once broken, don't mend so easily.
A young woman watches her father pour years of sacrifice into perfecting a revolutionary washer-dryer invention, and when an enthusiastic engineer named Jack Cummings arrives to become his partner, she finds herself drawn to him—even as she grows increasingly convinced the project will consume their lives just as it has consumed her father's. As Jack and Dotty's feelings deepen, her desperation to pull him away from the invention creates a rift that tests whether faith and love can survive conflicting dreams.
This lighthearted survey of old-world superstitions celebrates the curious beliefs and folk customs that once governed courtship and marriage across Russia, Prussia, Pomerania, and Saxony—from the conviction that a careless sweep of a broom could steal a sweetheart away, to the notion that slicing bread poorly foretold a troublesome mother-in-law. A charming reminder that love has always inspired both hope and worry, these quaint tales show how our ancestors tried to nudge fate in romance's favor.
A young woman fighting bitterness after a crippling accident finds herself at a crossroads when charity from her community offers her the home she's always dreamed of—but only if she continues the deception about her condition. Lisa must reckon with what she's willing to sacrifice and what truly matters when her boyfriend David discovers the truth in "Seeker of Heartbreak," a poignant meditation on self-pity and the real cost of taking shortcuts to happiness.
