 | The Cheerleader by Ruth D. MacDougall
On the 25th anniversary of the publication of this national best-seller, The Cheerleader is being re-released for the enjoyment of new readers. Its fans already span generations and have formed an Internet group. What was life like before the Sexual Revolution? The Cheerleader describes growing up in the 1950's -- in the years of ponytails, pajama parties, proms, and parking , when to be popular was important, and when, if you were a girl, being important meant being a cheerleader. Searchingly honest, achingly real, The Cheerleader is a bittersweet novel about the loss of innocence, the growth of passion, and the awakening of ambition. It recalls all the joy, excitement, and pain of crossing the bridge from childhood to young womanhood in the FabuLous Fifties, when sex was still a mystery and goals were clearly defined -- perhaps for the last time.

 | In Harm's Way by H. Jay Riker
Vietnam is a recent memory of blood and thunder. But for the U.S. Navy for the SEALs -the nation's most able warriors -- a new war is brewing on the far side of the Earth. Returning home as strangers in a strange land, the men of SEAL, Teams One and two must adjust to life in peacetime. The Navy, however, has plans for its legendary fighting force -- a bold new experiment that will replace submarine-borne nuclear missiles with alternate lethal weapons: SEAL swimmers, armed and ready to be launched at a moment's notice on daring land based sorties. And before their training is coupled, they will be tested as never before -- on a daring rescue in a desert land that will propel them into a volatile Middle Eastern powderkeg that's primed to explode.
