Book Description
I think Suzanne has a great story and I am glad she's doing a book. —Liz Brody, contributing editor at O, The Oprah Magazine Hiding behind her smile, Suzanne portrayed a perfect marriage of love and honor rather than the distorted vows of deception, deceit, lies, cheating, and felonies. Suzanne, a broken-down housewife, shares a recollection of darkness behind the white picket fence, living a life of bondage to a controlling, abusive husband. Feeling she was a failure who could never escape the marriage of darkness. Through unbelievable, insurmountable challenges, an opportunity to reach for freedom presented itself. A riveting story of a quiet, battered housewife who found the strength and courage to face her greatest enemy—her husband. (Liz Brody featured a portion of Suzanne's story in Oprah's magazine, O, in October 2006.) Pulling no punches, Hiding behind a Smile paints a compelling portrait of abuse, betrayal, fear, and, ultimately, redemption. An exciting and timely look at survival and faith. —Peter Heyrman, author of The North Baltimore Stories

A fast-paced mystery, The Voice inside My Head is expected to be a commercial success and a hit with teens. Seventeen-year-old Luke's older sister, Pat, has always been his moral compass, like a voice inside his head, every time he has a decision to make. So when Pat disappears on a tiny island off the coast of Honduras and the authorities claim she's drowned - despite the fact that they can't produce a body - Luke heads to Honduras to find her because he knows something the authorities don't. From the moment of her disappearance, Pat's voice has become real, guiding him to Utila, where she had accepted a summer internship to study whale sharks. Once there, he meets several characters who describe his sister as a very different girl from the one knows. Does someone have a motive for wanting her dead? Determined to get to the bottom of Pat's disappearance, Luke risks everything, including his own life, to find the answer.

Larry agrees to find the sister of a fifteen year old boy who turns up at his office. Having run away from parents that he claims are abusive, he and his sister had been living rough until she disappeared.

Dragged reluctantly into that investigation, while trying to solve the disappearance, he is suddenly arrested when the boy's mother is found hanged from the seventh tower of a series carrying new power lines. Clare Haines, a constable working for his friend Superintendent Blake Reece, comes to his aid, and he is released. The murder of a constable in an unusual manner, a face seen, and vaguely remembered, an MI6 agent who is not quite as he appears to be, a reluctant traitor, the almost fatal shooting of Penny and the death of his friend, finally brings everything to a head at the foot of the tower.

Ruby Dreams of Janis Joplin
Author: Mary Clearman Blew
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496207580
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Music, whether a Debussy étude or Gram Parsons’s “Hickory Wind,” has been a constant in Ruby Gervais’s life. After Ruby helps fuel a paranoid fervor that spreads like wildfire throughout her rural Montana community, her home life deteriorates. As a sixteen-year-old high school dropout busing tables at the local bar two nights a week, her prospects are uncertain. So when, after her shift one night, the Idaho Rivermen invite her to join their band and head toward fame and fortune, Ruby doesn’t think twice. In Ruby Dreams of Janis Joplin Mary Clearman Blew deftly braids together memories of the past with the present, when the Rivermen have imploded and a severely bruised and disillusioned Ruby returns to her hometown to find everything she ran away from waiting for her. In lyrical yet muscular prose, Blew explores women dealing with the isolation of small towns, the enduring damage done when a community turns against itself, the lasting effects of abuse on the vulnerable, and our capacity to confront the past and heal. Throughout, Ruby Dreams of Janis Joplin is underscored by the music that forms inextricable bonds between Blew’s fascinating characters.
