Trail Magic: Lost in Crawford Notch by M.H. Sullivan
A family’s isolation...the search for a lost child...in New Hampshire’s mountain wilderness.
Teenager Angie Jackson, whose family runs a campground in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, loses track of the little girl she is babysitting. Four-year old Melanie has wandered away and is lost in the surrounding wilderness. Finding her may determine more than the fate of the little girl.
In a strange twist, indicative of the mystical “trail magic” she believes in, Angie finds an odd parallel to a similar missing child search conducted 65 years before–during the fall of 1941–in these same mountains.

The Sullivan Saga: Memories of an Overseas Childhood
by M.H. Sullivan
ISBN: 978-1-891486-13-5Description: Non-fiction account of a family's overseas
experiences from 1957 to 1972 in South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines,
Thailand, and Ethiopia.
Eugene F. Sullivan was a diplomat
working for U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), an agency of the
U.S. State Department. He was sent to Seoul, South Korea in 1956 and in
September of 1957 he was joined by his family -- at that time made up of his wife,
Hope, and their five children. In the five-and-a-half years they lived in
Korea, they added two more children to their brood. Maureen, the only
girl in a family with six brothers, tells the stories that make up her memories
of the fascinating experience of being raised overseas. In addition to
being among the first American dependents allowed in Korea after the Korean
War, they lived in Taiwan for two years, in the Philippines for two years, in
Thailand for two years during the height of the Vietnam War, and finally, in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, just before and during the fall of the emperor Haile
Selassie.
