Book Description
After a lifetime of mistakes…can Kassandra ever be forgiven? New York City, 1841 When Reverend Joseph plucks a gravely wounded child from the mean streets of Manhattan’s rough Five Points District, he intends to give her a real home. And though Kassandra flourishes in the preacher’s house, learning Bible verses at his knee and going to school, as a young teenager she makes the first of many devastating decisions, running away from the only haven she’s ever known. What follows is a waking nightmare: life in a tiny room above a brothel, the loss of a child, a lover’s rejection, and finally, life as a prostitute. As circumstances lead her further and further from the reverend’s secure home, an ashamed Kassandra is certain that neither God, nor Joseph, will ever forgive her. Feeling as though she has nothing left to lose and nowhere to go, Kassandra leaves behind her hopes of redemption and heads west to California, where she is transformed into the woman known as Sadie. Unfortunately, nothing in her life is pointing to a happy ending, and Sadie is forced to grapple with the question: Once you’ve passed the point of no return, can you ever go back?

Book Description
She believed in angels. Soon everyone will. Is one gleamer enough to confront the Murk head-on in this third installment of the Sheena Meyer series? In The Girl Who Spoke to the Wind, Sheena fought against thoughts of fear and defeat--mind games used by the Murk to make her lose hope. She and her friends faced Luke Tobias and risked their lives to save Dingy and the missing children. But it's clear the fight against the Murk has just begun. Sheena sees the Murk everywhere; at her school dance and in her classroom. Only this time, someone else sees it too. If angels are with her, Sheena can't tell. She hasn't received a text or any form of contact from her angel. It worries her so much that she's having nightmares and believes she is no longer a gleamer. She turns to the Lumen for answers, the strange book left to her by Mr. Tobias. It's written in a language only she can decipher and unfolds a destiny she's not ready to accept. At that back are blank pages that fill as the Murk gets stronger. Sheena fears there's no hope. Can she figure out what the "Brilliant light" is that the Lumen speaks of in time to save her friends? The Girl Who Captured the Sun is the third book in the Sheena Meyer adventure series. It's a perfect fit for readers who love fast-moving page-turners with memorable characters.
