C. C. Ford

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a community in possession of an older single woman must marry her off. However little known the feelings or views of the single in question is unimportant-nor is it vital to determine if she already has family acting on her behalf: she is single, therefore, they must do their duty by her and see her to the marriage canopy." The Jewish community of Boxton, Vermont has a serious problem. Six serious problems, actually. Their names are Ariella, Yocheved, Shuli, Batsheva, Malca Dina and Liora. These young women aren't getting any younger. Fortunately, a local high school has just hired a young, eligible bachelor to serve as dorm counselor -- and he's brought his best friend along. Could it be that things are looking up for the single women of Boxton? Join the girls as they go through the ups and downs of traditional Jewish dating, otherwise known as "the Parsha", in this retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel.

C. C. (Connie) Ford had experienced several unexplained "happenings" throughout her life-enough to know communication from the Other Side was possible. Then one day two years after her mother's death, she received a startling yet heartwarming sign that she recognized simply had to be from her mother-in the form of a hawk's feather balanced on the toe of a boot. From that day on, feathers have continued to arrive in mysterious and often humorous circumstances, always at the perfect time, either to give her guidance or simply to let her know she is not alone. Realizing she was meant to share these stories as well as the spiritual truths she learned from them, Connie wrote Feathers from Heaven in the hopes that a similar awareness might open up for others. Her book details many of her most incredible stories, along with the lessons these experiences have taught her about the importance of synchronicity and awareness-not to mention the enduring power of love.
