Book Description
In this gripping police procedural, Officer Emily Etcitty sets a trap for a kidnapper preying on Navajo teens. When a Native American girl turns up missing during a traditional ceremony, Navajo police officer Emily Etcitty is on the case. What initially looks like nothing more than a routine runaway turns into a high-priority kidnapping case when a connection is made to several other missing girls under similar suspicious circumstances. After abandoning everything on the East Coast but his loyal dog, Patch, musician Abe Freeman is still acclimating to the Southwest and his new love interest, the beautiful and beguiling Emily. It hasn't been easy with clashing cultures and haunted pasts, but they're committed to making it work. Fearing for the missing girls' safety, Emily decides to use herself as bait to set a trap for the kidnapper--and is abducted alongside another girl. Now Abe must team up with Emily's brother and her police partner to find and save the missing girls, but the deeper they dig into the investigation, the more dangerous things become. And with the weight of a greater, far more sinister plot at play, can Emily escape the kidnapper and take him down before more girls fall victim?

When Rosalie's estranged husband first kidnaps their baby daughter, she feels helpless. Franco escapes with their child to his home country of Italy, and the government is not able or willing to intervene. It takes eight months for Rosalie to get Triana back and she's only able to do that by drugging Franco, and with difficulty, escaping and returning to the United States. She breathes a sigh of relief, thinking that she'll never lose her daughter again, how wrong she is. Six years later, the unthinkable happens: Franco kidnaps Triana and disappears into the remote jungles of South America. After receiving a letter, Rosalie returns to Rome to meet with her private investigator. She has little to go on, and two years have passed since Triana was taken, but she'll stop at nothing to find her. Failure is not in Rosalie's vocabulary. With letter after letter to authorities, she continues to search for her daughter. She is determined to find her child and save her from a sociopath father who subjects his daughter to encounters with death and devastating experiences in Destruction of Innocence.

Stolen Innocence
Author: Erin Merryn
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757399541
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Eleven-year-old Erin Merryn's life was transformed on the night she was sexually abused by her cousin, someone she loved and trusted. As the abuse continued, and as she was forced to see her abuser over and over again in social situations, she struggled with self-doubt, panic attacks, nightmares and the weight of whether or not to tell her terrible secret. It wasn't until a traumatic series of events showed her the cost of silence that she chose to speak out-in the process destroying both her family and the last of her innocence. Through her personal diary, written during the years of her abuse, Erin Merryn shares her journey through pain and confusion to inner strength and, ultimately, forgiveness. Raw, powerful and unflinchingly honest, Stolen Innocence is the inspiring story of one girl's struggle to become a woman, and a bright light on the pain and devastation of abuse. Stolen Innocence is written with conviction and clarity. [Erin Merryn] doesn't hold back, and I respect her honesty and openness...By the end of the book, I thought I was reading passages from a much older adult than a high school senior. Erin has grown into a strong, wise, intelligent, perceptive, spiritual, caring adult." —Susan Reedquist, The Children's Advocacy Center

Sooner
Author: Margaret Christakos
Publisher: Coach House Books
ISBN: 9781552451595
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Eschewing prevailing poetic fashion, Sooner reimagines poetry as a kind of cubist fascination, at times even a fascination with fascination itself. In Sooner, Christakos's most tender, lucent book to date, we find the delusory spiral reasoning of artistic schools; the fluid politic of desire, gender and domesticity; the recurrent trials of revulsion and arousal - all shined through Christakos's unique prismatic style to emerge in new, striking and often dissonant syntaxes. This is the music of a keenly tuned mind listening to all of its stations at once, a poetry of menace and possibility, clear sight and ambiguity, love and darkness, jealousy and light. If to know is to feel precisely, as another poet once suggested, Christakos makes it clear the opposite may be just as true, and that the devil is still in the details: You don't know what you think or feel. You only think and feel you know, and wave from the window...
