Pot Of Gold

Claire Goddard and her daughter Emma learn to deal with the glittering world of wealth when Claire wins sixty million dollars in a lottery.

Though it may only be a small emerald isle, Ireland's heritage is very large indeed. In A Pot O' Gold, noted writer Kathleen Krull and beloved illustrator David McPhail bring this legacy to life. Created for families, this anthology compiles classic and rare examples of Irish culture including stories, poems, songs, recipes, and even a little blarney. From legends of leprechauns and fairies to the classic poetry of Yeats and Joyce, this treasury is a perfect way for anyone to share the wonders of Ireland.

"The Pot of Gold and Other Stories" is a collection of children's stories set in the villages of New England. It contains fascinating stories about a young girl's ambitious journey that leads her to find the real treasure, a farm girl's sacrifice for her father that ends in a reward, a missing Princess bringing back together two dueling Kingdoms, and many more. American author Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman commented on New England village life and the post-Civil war woman through these child-friendly tales.

In this sensational novel, Judith Michael takes one of our most universal fantasies and spins it into glorious, spellbinding reality. Claire Goddard is thirty-four years old, of modest means and looks. She has raised her teenage daughter, Emma, by herself, working as a designer, but without the confidence or means to fully realize her talent. Her only indulgence, once a week, is buying a lottery ticket. Then, one week, she wins sixty million dollars. Overnight everything changes. She quits her job, indulges in the shopping spree of a lifetime—new house, new clothes, new car, new hairstyle and makeup—and then treats herself and Emma to a celebratory cruise in Alaska. There they meet Quentin and Brix Eiger. Handsome, glamorous, a wealthy entrepreneur, Quentin sweeps Claire into his fast-lane fashionable world, while his temperamental son, Brix, engages Emma in her first love affair. Suddenly Claire and Emma are living in the glittering, colorful world of wealth and power. But inside the rainbow, all is not what it seems…
