Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter. Out of these elements, Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable.
From the author of Lovejoy and Blessed comes a series about church ladies of the South. After reading this first novel in the series, fans of Southern fiction write, "I want to live next door to Mildred Budge." A retired school teacher, Mildred Budge just wants to live a quiet life in her hometown of Cloverdale. But retirement does not mean she can say no to a friend--not a friend in trouble. A disciplined woman, Mildred can breathe the word "no" to a second cup of ice cream. Can resist drinking too much champagne. But when it comes right down to a friend needing a favor, she may say no first, but if someone really needs her-really needs her -she always said yes. That's how Mildred ended up with strangers camped out in her spare bedroom while helping her friend Fran launch a new business at the antique emporium. The only real 'no' Mildred had said in recent history was to a man who loved her. Hugh wasn't the first man to pursue her. But he was the most recent. And she had been flattered but not interested-not in the way the widower wanted her to be interested.Hugh didn't give up right away. He lodged himself near her at church. Found her in the church kitchen after a fellowship supper to aid in the clean-up. And finally, her would-be lover just asked her to say 'yes' to him outright. That was the moment when Mildred had to say a final 'no.' Only her best friend Fran understood. Fran said when Mildred finally felt the regretful effects of that no, "We're all of us such fools."But they aren't fools. Mildred Budge and her friends are just people trying to live inside the faith released from heaven through the One who didn't say no.This is the first novel in the series about Mildred Budge and her friends-just ordinary people trying to live out an extraordinary hope available to anyone who realizes what kind of help he or she really needs. That hope has a name, and Mildred Budge knows it. Need hope? Need a friend? Mildred Budge is a very good friend. If you like spending time with people who are ordinary but extraordinarily hopeful, then you'll love this story.

This is the story of 61-year-old Mildred Aldrich and her experiences of the Great War. She retired to a small hill-top house called La Creste in February 1914, with views across the Marne river and valley, little realising she would become embroiled in the first major battle of the war. In spite of the danger she decided to stay and help the British soldiers. Her home was for a few days behind German lines but the British pushed the Germans into retreat and La Creste remained in British territory for the duration. They entrenched in the Marne Valley and Mildred's 'beloved panorama' as she described the view, turned into the valley of horror and death. Informed by journalist Mildred's unpublished journals and voices of those serving in the BEF, along with historical military background, this book examines events from the unique perspective of a remarkable woman who lived through them.
'Cain was not just a great hard-boiled novelist but a great novelist, period ... To read MILDRED PIERCE now is to experience a double vision, in which we confront both how much and how little things have changed' LA TIMES
In this well-researched study, Johan Tredoux deftly recounts Dr. Wynkoop's life and contribution to Wesleyan-Holiness studies. Emphasizing her theological development, Tredoux explores Wynkoop's gradual move to a dynamic, relational, and christological understanding of sanctification. Scholarly yet readable, this volume is an outstanding addition to the library of any student of Wesleyan-Holiness theology. Combined with a glossary and an index, this book is an essential read and an invaluable stepping stone for further study.
Having a new cat in her household filled Mildred with immense joy. However, the manner of its arrival was far from normal, and the nature of her new cat was anything but natural. Something has changed within Mildred, she could feel it and see it. The arrival of the new cat could only be partially responsible for unfolding events that change by the hour. Time had ceased for the mysterious society that call themselves The Kat Chamber, their fears realised by the presence of a malevolent creature from another realm. Mildred had been told she was destined to join this society of unusual women, yet she wanted no part of it but had little choice. Being watched and spied upon at every turn, Mildred knew it was now time to stand up for herself.
WELCOME TO THE INCREDIBLE WORLD OF MILDRED! Mildred's life took a turn for the surreal when a stranger arrived unexpectedly at her home. The stranger presented her with a cat to keep; but there were conditions attached, including she joined the local cat club. But this was no ordinary club run by the strangest people. Unbeknown to Mildred, the club had met behind closed doors for hundreds of years and this league of extraordinary women had many secrets. Anyone brought into the Order had to live by a code of secrecy as fear and darkness was never far away. Mildred wanted no part of it, but she had no choice, her membership was predetermined a long time ago. As dark clouds loomed over Mildred's house unexplained events were becoming commonplace as the Order started to take over her life.
