Kaigama, Archbishop of Jos, Nigeria.“The kidnapping of the Nigerian girls should never be written off merely as an unpleasant historical event, about which we can no longer do anything and I am grateful to Corinna Turner for keeping alive the memory and reminding us of the shocking reality of the victims’ situation. … This book leaves you wanting to know more, wanting the girls to be rescued, wanting a happy ending. Alas, real life is different.” The Honourable Ann Widdecombe, DSGAll proceeds from the sale of SOMEDAY go to 'Aid to the Church in Need' N.B.

Chubby and I stood staring at the stove door, watching the flare of the burning letter. Someday had suddenly become starkly, terribly real. This town we loved, everything we knew, the very roads we walked on, would soon rest beneath the waters of a giant reservoir, like some scene in a dime-store waterglobe. What would become of us, of me and Chubby, and Mama and Gran? And what about all our friends and neighbors? Who would we be without Enfield to bind us together? "Koller excels in making Celie fully human and three dimensional. The town of Enfield becomes a character like any other in the story, triggering emotion and tears." VOYA

Celie Wheeler had known all her life that "someday" her town of Enfield, MA, along with Greenwich, Prescott, Dana, and parts of several other towns in the Swift River Valley would be flooded to create a great reservoir to slake the thirst of the growing city of Boston. She just never thought "someday" would actually come. Now construction of the Quabbin is well under way, eviction notices are being served, and Celie must watch as her town is slowly dismantled and her friends and neighbors are scattered to the winds. Set during the Great Depression, SOMEDAY is told through the eyes of three generations of Wheeler women; fourteen-year-old Celie, her restless, widowed mother, and her stubborn, yankee grandmother.Reviews: From VOYA:"Koller excels at making Celie fully human and three dimensional. The town of Enfield becomes a character like any other in the story, triggering emotion and tears." From Publishers WeeklyFourteen-year-old Celie Wheeler has much to think about: her plans to be a writer; her changing relationship with her best friend, a boy; and the imminent loss of her home, which has been in her family since the 1700s. Set in the Depression, this coming-of-age story unfolds against the backdrop of the actual last days of the four towns in Massachusetts's Swift River Valley, which in 1939 was flooded to create a reservoir for Boston. Amid the demolitions and the deliberately set fires that punctuate her days, Celie juggles her own despair with her concern for her aged grandmother and widowed mother, even as she experiences the thrill of her first romantic feelings for the young man sent by the Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission to finish emptying the town. With complex, finely drawn characters and fluid language that rings true for the period and place, the story is satisfying emotionally as well as intellectually. Koller's (the Dragonlings series) afterword explores environmental and social issues raised by the episode. Adolescent readers, experiencing their own transitions toward adulthood, will respond to the literal submersion of the heroine's past and to her eventual embrace of the future. Ages 10-up.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From BooklistGr. 5-8. This heartbreaking account of a town flooded to create a reservoir, based on real events in 1930s' Massachusetts, is told through the voice of 14-year-old Celie Wheeler. Celie has lived in Enfield her whole life, and although she's known for years that "someday" would come when they would have to move, it's a shock when the official notice arrives. Gran staunchly refuses to leave, and Celie and Mama disagree about where to go. At the same time, Celie is torn between affection for her best friend Chubby and her infatuation with a handsome representative from the water commission. Celie's fear of the unknown, frustration with Gran, confusion about her feelings for Chubby, love for her town and family, and surprise upon learning that her mother has ambitions beyond Enfield all ring true. The sad scenes of the town's dismantling are truly harrowing, and Celie and Chubby's final parting is bittersweet, as Celie realizes that "someday" can refer to a beginning as well as an ending.

One frightfully cold evening in the tiny town of Wiley Point, Montana, teenage social outcast Marissa Seymour sits quietly in solute at the bus stop. Slapped in the face by the cruel and close-minded townsfolk, she waits for the 8:15 bus to San Francisco to start life anew. Told in alternating flashbacks, each short chapter contains her personal memoirs as well as the devastating issues this youth is forced to deal with, and it will be her choice whether she does or not."Someday" is my first published student work. Please bare in mind that I wrote the majority of this when I was seventeen years old and still in high school. At first I felt it was no good, but I've been told that it had potential and I should put this out on Kindle to see how readers will react to it. I thank you in advance and wish you happy reading.
