Years later, Irene receives the notice that she had craved for so long—Daniel Robbin has stopped his appeals and will be executed within a month.

The Crying River
Author: Yer J. Lo
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 161897906X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Yer believed that her life would be peaceful and wonderful forever; that she would always be surrounded by family and friends in a small village. When the Secret War ended, American troops deserted her people and a sudden oppression from the Communists forced Yer and her family to flee into the jungle. There, they faced many hardships and must risk crossing a deadly river for a chance at freedom. Based on actual events, this stunning book stresses the importance of family. Yer's mother is the strength and glue that holds everyone together, showing unending courage and faith despite illness, starvation, exhaustion and fear of enemy detection. "The Crying River is an incredible story. Yer shows what it was like to be a Hmong living in Laos after the Secret War, describing the hardships and sacrifices so candidly that I cried. It's one thing to hear history in terms of the facts and dates, but reliving it through a young girl's eyes makes it come alive like nothing else can. This story is one that deserves to be read, not just to learn about one girl's childhood journey, but also to hear the voices of the Hmong, whose similar stories might never be told." -

The Fixer's Enforcer
Author: Charlie Richards
Publisher: eXtasy Books
ISBN: 1487434472
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Salem Galdesque was busy doing a favor for one of Master Krispin’s allies when the news of several beloveds in his home coven reaches his ears. He’s happy for them even as he snickers at the shackles it places upon them. As his coven’s fixer, he could only imagine the trouble such a bond would cause to his own life. Salem loves being able to solve a problem by any means necessary—whether it be by a payoff, seduction, or a good, old-fashioned beat-down…and maybe even more—and answering to a beloved would be nothing but a headache. His tactics makes his job easy, not to mention fun. When Salem is called home to the Maven coven, he meets the gargoyle Keefe and realizes Fate has bestowed upon him a rather dubious gift—Keefe is his beloved. After just a couple of encounters, Salem knows that between Keefe’s serious need to color inside the lines and Salem’s own prevalence toward shades of gray, their different outlooks will cause nothing but problems. Still, Keefe is Salem’s beloved, and he knows he only gets one, so they come to an agreement—no talking shop with each other. When they both uncover leads regarding the hunters troubling the Maven coven, can they figure out how to work together, or will their issues tear not only them apart, but the coven as well?
