Book Description
This story depicts the adventures of a young man who accidentally discovers a large quantity of drug-related cash during a trip in the Bahamian Islands, which then allows him to extend his vacation further to a trip to France, where he encounters a young café waitress and convinces her to join him in traveling the rustic countryside by train. The young man and woman eventually yield to their desires at a later time and engage in a torrid love affair, which leads them to become engaged and married. Their relationship and the young man's funds allowed them to visit the Bahamas, where they simply relaxed and indulged themselves with many sensuous sexual encounters with each other. These torrid encounters eventually lead to the girl's pregnancy, but she refuses to marry the young man due to fear of what her uncle and others may think of her and her present condition. The young couple finally agreed to be officially married in a church ceremony, which was to be conducted in both the countries of France and the United States so that each of their family members could attend and celebrate their wedding, and without knowledge of her pregnancy. Their baby girl is eventually born in Connecticut, where the young man's Italian family members engage in many facetious episodes while caring for both the baby and mother and verbally clashing occasionally due to their cultural differences.

Book Description
"Home Front is Hannah's crowning achievement."—The Huffington Post In this powerhouse of a novel, Kristin Hannah explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war. All marriages have a breaking point. All families have wounds. All wars have a cost. . . . Like many couples, Michael and Jolene Zarkades have to face the pressures of everyday life—children, careers, bills, chores—even as their twelve-year marriage is falling apart. Then a deployment sends Jolene deep into harm's way and leaves defense attorney Michael at home, unaccustomed to being a single parent to their two girls. As a mother, it agonizes Jolene to leave her family, but as a solider, she has always understood the true meaning of duty. In her letters home, she paints a rose-colored version of her life on the front lines, shielding her family from the truth. But war will change Jolene in ways that none of them could have foreseen. When tragedy strikes, Michael must face his darkest fear and fight a battle of his own—for everything that matters to his family. At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope. "Hannah has written a remarkable tale of duty, love, strength, and hope that is at times poignant and always thoroughly captivating and relevant." —Library Journal (starred review)

El narco. A monster. Un diablo. Jorge Hernandez had been called many things, and it always made him laugh. If there was one word that could be used to describe him, it would be untouchable.

The devil is smooth like honey, but is heaven ever far away?

Dear Reader, You've probably heard that my wife has left me. Rachel's pregnant, and she says she can't handle the stress in our household anymore. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. Maybe it's my fault. As a widower I spoiled her— Jolene was reading over my shoulder just now and says that's not true. She claims Rachel ruined everything. But that's not true. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? I don't even know where she is. She's not with Teri Polgar or any of her other friends from the salon. The other question is…when will Jolene grow up and stop acting like such a brat? Of course, I'm not the only one in town with problems. Linc Wyse's father-in-law is trying to destroy his business. And you know Charlotte Rhodes? Seems she's becoming forgetful, and the family's worried about her and Ben. Lots of other stuff going on—but Rachel is better at keeping up with it than I am. If you have any idea where my wife is, give me a call. Please. Bruce Peyton
