Lofty dreams of a new and better life lured untold thousands to America. Among those "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" are four immigrant women facing the challenges of the untamed New World. Will they have the strength and faith to meet the trials ahead?

Life in the wilds of Florida as a ready-made wife and mother must be better than living on the streets in Boston, but not everyone is cut out for pioneer life. WIll Corinn be willing to say, "I Take Thee, a Stranger," in order to survive the New World?

Paloma wants to find her sister in Tucson and convince her to move back to Mexico, but a handsome blacksmith keeps barring her path. Can Blessed Land be found among the Americans Paloma despices?

Kiera feels she must return home to Ireland when her dreams for a new life have died, but she has found a new friend who wants nothing more than to show her that God still keeps His promises. Are Promises Kept in America?

Hannah's new hope seems to have come in the form of her widowhood, but now another man is trying to dictate the future she has entrusted to God. Will Hannah hear Freedom's Ring?

If you want a good wholesome book to sit down by the fire or outside in the sun, this is the book for you. I read it in one day and was sad to have it end. Kept a smile on my face and joy in my heart. ENJOY!

Book Description

Lawyer-turned-teacher Virginia Donohoe and her former lover, Jack Daniels, take up the cause of a Jewish high school football player and his friend who object to "captive audience" prayers at practice which publicly condemn all non-Christians. In this powerful, stark, and explosive story set in the fictional hamlet of Bernard, Texas, lines are drawn in the sand with lightning speed. While the lawyers plan legal action and silently re-examine their lost relationship, the town plans a "spontaneous prayer demonstration" at a high school football game. Meanwhile, the two boys and their families are ostracized and threatened. Anger muddles the line between fundamental principles and ideological intransigence as tensions build toward a stunning, unforgettable conclusion. The Heart Twisters boldly explores the themes of religious extremism, the power of love, and the renewed importance of respecting minority religious views in a post 9/11 world.

Superb.......2004-01-22

In The Heart Twisters, author Nancy McCoy takes you to a fictional world about real life in present day rural America. The truly unique story is set deep in the Bible Belt of Texas where the opposing forces of radical, post 9/11 patriotic Christianity and the constitutional right of freedom of religion clash with the peace and welfare of an entire community at stake. In the wake of it, an emotional tornado ensues. The sheer power of the telling of the story brings you to know the characters like real life friends. Virginia Donohue or ?Virgie?, in particular ? A veteran lawyer turned high school teacher ? takes a stand against religious bigotry and picks the ?good fight,? finding true love on the way. What is the cost of defending your freedom in the tidal wave of religious fanaticism? The Heart Twisters is surely the measure. Experience a full spectrum of emotions when you read this story: admiration, humor, exhilaration, intrigue, astonishment, passion, sadness and joy ? a roller coaster ride through the best and the worst attributes of humans in real life. Never was a book so hard to put down until the story plays out in the end. Encore, Nancy McCoy!

' Heart Twisters' bravely addresses religious intolerance........2003-10-02

Sometimes it takes a `Heart Twister' like 9/11 or the tragedy described in Nancy McCoy's novel for people to realize what is really important in their lives. Through eloquent language and a constant thread of humor provided by the pithy wit of her vivid protagonist, McCoy brings to the forefront what humans have struggled with since their succession to planetary dominance: religious intolerance. Heart Twisters provides both a timely and enjoyable read.

Book Description

This book is a series of inspirational, true stories written by a Texas lawyer about the people and events that have most influenced her. It captures those influences in a way that is often humorous, and sometimes very serious. The book is designed to cause the readers to contemplate the notable people and events that have made all the difference in their own lives, in the hope that this introspection will prove pleasurable. Many of these stories touch on experiences from law school or the practice of law, and they amount to one lawyer's retrospective on the lifelong search for truth that we all undertake.

Buy this book. You won't be sorry........2004-07-10

I have been Nancy McCoy's legal assistant for over 12 years. I have come to know her as a unique, warm and generous friend. I'll be honest. When Nancy told me she wanted to write a book, I thought she was crazy. I may have even told her so. Once I saw the finished product, I was blown away. The book is truly as warm and unique as she is. And, no, she did not tell me to write this review. I should have written this a long time ago. I highly recommend this book. Nancy needs to eat.

Recommend for everyone searching for truth, love, and laughs.......2003-01-08

Nancy McCoy's Butterflies Do Not Sleep in Hot Tubs, A Lawyer's Tortured Search For Truth is a great read - and not just for lawyers. The stories in her book share truly diverse nuggets of wisdom and laughter. From the silly inside jokes of a long, loving marriage to the laughter shared among co-workers to a fable about a dysfunctional family in the true Grimm style, McCoy explores the range of relationships with their ups and downs. She inspires others who have experienced failure and disappointment by sharing her own setbacks and subsequent successes. She pricks readers' consciences as she reveals her own awakening to social responsibility. And when she does share stories from her experience as a lawyer, she efficiently translates the law jargon for the uninitiated.
Above, all, Butterflies... is a very entertaining book. The chapters are short self-contained stories that even the busiest person can enjoy a bite at a time. Each character comes alive through the author's storytelling and is both real and familiar to the reader. I have already shared this book with several of my family members and would recommend it to everyone who is searching for truth, love, and laughter in life.

Spiritual and Irreverant, also charming and enlightening.......2002-06-14

Butterflies is about an intelligent and introspective lady lawyer's search for the truth in her life and her chosen profession--the law. From the moment you read the title you realize that you must go on. You are intrigued by both the cover and the title. Then my suggestion is to read the titles of each short story or vignette--there are thirty-nine all together. This too will draw you in. Next, read her acknowledgements at the end, they are hilarious and entertaining as well. This should prepare you for what you are about to receive.

Butterflies is thoughtful and poignant, and yet it captures the very essence of what makes life interesting and funny and worth living. It captures the 'small good things' that keep us going. Everyday moments are not lost in this spiritual and extraordinary revelation. Nancy McCoy's characters are people we all know and identify with. It will leave you with a bitter-sweet feeling and a desire to meet the characters and the author.

There are remarkable sagas and crusades that will inspire you long after you have read Butterflies. You will come to the realization that the author is a good person with good intentions and a heart as big as Harry Chapin's. You shall become familiar with this ballad singer once you read Butterflies--if you are not already.

Nancy McCoy uses terms like recovering Catholic--very funny to those of us who were or still are of this faith. She inquires, "Where were you?" which refers to your status when JFK was killed.

I can't remember a time when I laughed out loud so much during the course of one read. Nor have I been forced to review my own life and circumstances before, during and after a novel.

Loving all the stories, it's difficult to choose one as my favorite. Let's just say that the one I identified with was "The People Who Like to Jump." Well, I'm like Nancy McCoy. I like to be with the people who like to jump. You may have to be an attorney to get the gist of this particular story once you've read it, but I don't think so. Butterflies should have a general appeal to all readers.

The greatest compliment I can give Nancy McCoy as an attorney/writer/human being is this: You are an inspiration and one-of-a-kind individual. Once you were made--they broke the mold.

Inspiring, yet Truthful. Encouraging, yet Real........2000-07-27

This is one fantastic book and one intriguing author. I've read many books, and ever since I began practicing law the only types of books that I have been able to get to have been inspirational, miracle-filled stories. Mostly because I need the positive feedback somewhere in my life. However, I have always felt removed from those stories. McCoy offers me a touch of inspiration, mixed in with incredible wit and soft-hearted humor that touches upon everyone's heart, not just a law-infested individual. Her stories are provocative enough to make you think, kind hearted enough to make you smile, and encouraging enough to make you want to read one page after another. I haven't enjoyed a more thought-inspiring, smile-inducing collection of stories. This is truly a book one should get and enjoy, over and over. Kudos to McCoy for allowing readers a chance to enjoy what they are reading while learning, reminsicing and hoping.

Humorous and Poignant Stories.......2000-07-19

Nancy McCoy is a fantastic writer. She speaks directly from her heart and has crafted a collection of stories that are both humorous and poignant. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
