Books with author Phyllis Levine

Meet Matilda Wiggins who has just graduated from a nanny school. She has come from London, England and landed her first job after being hired by Richard's parents, Sue and Al Evergreen. The children Matilda will care for are Joey, six, and Jennie four. Richard's wife died suddenly. He has just begun his own computer company and is unable to deal with his children's anxieties. Matilda takes over the household and Al and Sue leave for their home and flower shop in California. With the children's grandparents gone, Matilda finds herself dealing with Joey who is deeply troubled.

Wife of one president and mother of another, Abigail Adams was an extraordinary woman living at an extraordinary time in American history. A tireless letter writer and diarist, her penetrating and often caustic impressions of most of the major persons of her day--including Ben Franklin, George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and King George III, among others--provide one of the best first-hand accounts of the American Revolution. This biography, researched and written over a fourteen-year period, is a fascinating portrait of a brilliant woman at the center of the founding of the American republic.

Mark Rosen has flown over from the States to London for a visit with his Fiance, Matilda Wiggins, who is tending her convalescing mother. Matilda has been working as a nanny for the Evergreen family in Twinsburg, Ohio. Meanwhile, the children, Joey and Jennie, miss her and anxiously await her return. Two weeks seems too long for her to be away. Matilda has become a caring nanny to them. However, her sudden engagement to Mark Rosen after only knowing him a week, has everyone she knows in a quandry. After all, Matilda is too level headed to do such a thing!

Matilda Wiggins has married Mark Rosen. She is having a grand time on their honeymoon cruise and made new friends, Kelly and Raymond, who have joined the newly weds for breakfast each morning. There are three days left of the voyage, but for some reason, their friends are unusually late, but when they arrive, Kelly is hysterical. She announces she just received a wire that her brother, an American soldier in Iraq has been injured. Unable to eat, Kelly rushes back to her cabin. This news disturbs Matilda and Mark, and it is later, he tells his bride he'd like to volunteer in Iraq and assist in the rebuilding of schools. Will he go? Matilda is astonished and puzzled by her husband's remarks. She has planned to become an elementary school teacher, but misses Joey and Jennie who will meet their new nanny, soon. How will they adjust to someone else? After all, there is an enormous bond between the children and beloved former, nanny, Matilda.
