Jordan I hated my scars. They were a symbol of everything that was wrong in my life. Everything changed when I met psychic Molly Welch. She claimed that I could have a do-over. I would get to change the story of my life. I didn't believe her at first, but then I found myself in downtown Omaha of 1958. Now that I was here, I was going to take it all back. I was going to find and end the man who destroyed my life before he had the chance to do it. I had no idea what was just around the corner. Molly said that once I'd fixed everything, my journey in the past would end and it would hurt. I didn't believe that either. I should have. James When I wasn't working, I was at the gym. No matter how big I bulked up, I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that it wasn't enough. I was damaged. I had saved myself for the right girl, but after Korea, I was afraid that day would never come. Jordan walked into Archie's bar looking for work and lit a spark of hope in my life. When an all too familiar episode of panic left her crumpled on the floor, I scooped her up in my big arms and promised I'd chase all of her monsters away. I meant it.

Quigley Tree: A Novel by Linda A Lavid (Plum Barn Press) (31 Reviews)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

Quigley Tree drops out of college. At age 23, she's been a complete failure. If she doesn't do something soon, her life will careen into a deep, dark, irrevocable void. Tick Tock. That soon is now. From the publisher: Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite by Lorraine Cobcroft: Quigley Tree, the protagonist of Linda A. Lavid's novel of the same name, is a young woman with an odd name. A college dropout from a dysfunctional home, and recently escaped from a relationship with a narcissist, Quigley needs to find a new place to live, quickly. A unique idea sets her on a path to find accommodation in a motel in exchange for providing marketing help, but she eventually must admit she has no idea what she is doing. She is a complete mess and has no faith in her ability to do anything useful with her life. Yet a kindly couple takes her on, and, with their help, and the help of an elderly lady she befriends, she begins to reshape her life and overcome her self-destructive attitude. Quirky is the best adjective to describe this work by Linda A. Lavid. Quigley Tree is as quirky as the protagonist's name. Q (as Quigley calls herself) grew on me and won me over. I empathized with her deep feelings of insecurity and her struggle to come to terms with a fractured family and a chaotic childhood. As the story progressed, there were poignant moments, and Lavid presented some interesting perspectives on life. There were also touches of whimsy in this tale of resilience and determination. In classic literary fiction style, Lavid focuses her novel on the character and theme rather than the plot. Quigley Tree, the story, ambles along at a leisurely pace, tracking Q's growth and gradual acceptance of herself and adjustment of her attitude toward her defective mother. Pearls of wisdom are scattered in conversations with her elderly friend, her employers, and the man who eventually wins her affection. The ending tempted me to shed a few tears, touched by Quigley's care for her toddler ...

The Hunting Ground (The Deuce Mora Series Book 2) by Jean Heller (519 Reviews)    Price verified 4 minutes ago

DEUCE MORA DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM FIGHTS - SHE PICKS THEM. THE BIGGER THE BETTER. Although, to be fair, this one is brought to her by a dog with a bone in his teeth. In Jean Heller's first Deuce Mora mystery, the scrappy female sleuth tangled with the mob; this time out she's on the wrong side of the NSA, the FBI and the CIA. At a minimum. Fans of hard-boiled female protagonists should hang onto their fedoras-- this one's an action-packed extravaganza! The grisly discovery of a human bone while Deuce is out for a hike with handsome arson investigator Mark Hearst leads to the unearthing of a vast burial field, a human trafficking ring, and international intrigue. The pull-no-punches columnist-- and meticulous detective-- keeps turning up information, bit by bit, only to find some Fed in her face, at her door, emerging from the shadows, always guarding the edges of the story, insisting it will not be told. Yes, the Feds are aware of the trafficking ring; yes, they have a plan to move on it; no, Deuce can't be told about the plan; and under no circumstances can she write about its existence. This is the story of a lifetime-- bigger than the Vinnie Colangelo story, which earned Deuce and the Journal a Pulitzer, and, for once, she has the support of her editor, but the Journal's lawyer appears daily, bringing warnings about "national security." What, Deuce seethes, could be a greater matter of national security than the safety of the city's children, who are being kidnapped and murdered? And this story has become very personal for Deuce, as she herself admits, lamenting her loss of objectivity. The hard-hitting journalist has fallen hard for a new guy: a savvy and charming eight-year-old boy named Charles with the face of an angel and the possibility of a bright future, but at great risk due to a life in foster care. Already the street-smart kid has revealed a depth of knowledge about the failures of DCFS and the machinery meant to protect him. For Deuce, every child ...
