"Just finished Masquerade. I learned a lot about stock trading and how to almost lose a dreamboat. And the sisters were perfect. Clever (so clever) their dialogue. I've never seen it done better. Great job!"

The Green Bough

greenIn 1913, the year after the Titanic sank and Oregon women got the vote, GLADYS HUMPHREY, daughter of a Portland, Oregon doctor, was hired to teach nine children in a one-room schoolhouse in a logger's camp in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. But, fresh out of school herself, she found this experience to be more than she bargained for.
First, there was the farm woman with whom she lived, who insisted she clean house and churn butter as well as pay for her room and board. Because of her youth, the off-site school clerk assumed she was incompetent; two of the school children, notorious for getting into trouble, liked to play with dynamite, and a farm hand tried to attack her after a New Year's Eve party. Add to that a mysterious "witch" who often hid in the woods and scared everyone, and Gladys found herself putting every ounce of her ingenuity to work.

Based on the real-life adventures of her husband's aunt, Phyllis Humphrey's book describes a year of challenges that Gladys met with pluck, independence and humor.

Wall Street On $20 A Month

wallwall

“How to Profit from an Investment Club”

Modern investment clubs started over 50 years ago and are everywhere these days. A member, and twice president, of her club for nineteen years, Ms. Humphrey shows how anyone can pool his or her resources with family, friends or co-workers, and turn as little as $20 a month (or $50 or $100) into a tidy sum to finance a child’s college education, a fabulous vacation, or a nest egg for retirement. In addition, if a club isn’t possible, Ms. Humphrey will show you how to invest small amounts of money on your own. Praises for her book came from Library journal, and Sylvia Porter’s Magazine. Named one of the ten best financial books of 1986, it has investing tips that never go out of style.

Although out-of-print for some time, used copies can sometimes be found on Amazon, plus you can read about the book on her Blog.
