The Hackensack Café Adventures is an endearing children's story about a small town in Minnesota, a family of second- and third-generation Greek immigrants, their friends, and a famous donut shop, with delightful illustrations and characters. The book was prompted by stories the author, Norrie Thomas, told to her grandchildren, which all three embellished together. The story was prompted by her grandchildren wanting to learn the Greek alphabet. A major crime has occurred in this small town--a stolen donut recipe. This drives a delightful tale and the main characters, including Mayor Rainbow and young town residents, to solve the mystery using a code based on the Greek alphabet.

The philosophy of stitching life. A colorful collection of needlepoint and life’s journey that took me down the path of creating these works of art.
Healthcare is the business of caring for people. At the intersection of two powerful forces, caring and business, there is a constant unbalanced state in need of a leader. Pharmacy is a profession that creates leaders at this intersection. Pharmacy is connected to the important things of this world; science, business, and helping others; it is a place where great leaders are made. From earning her PhD and throughout her careers as pharmacist, pharmacy executive, author, and successful entrepreneur, Norrie Thomas has tested leadership. This is Norrie’s interwoven story of leadership, family, and her pursuit of happiness.
