These is my Words by Nancy Turner
A moving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar frontier. Scrupulously recording her steps down the path Providence has set her upon—from child to determined young adult to loving mother—she shares the turbulent events, both joyous and tragic, that molded her, and recalls the enduring love with cavalry officer Captain Jack Elliot that gave her strength and purpose. |

The Disillusioned by D.J. Williams
A mother's suicide threatens to destroy a family legacy. Her sons, Sam and Daniel, are forced to leave their comfortable worlds behind and search for a woman they believe can unlock the secrets that have remained hidden. They are propelled into separate journeys from Los Angeles to the heart of the Zambezi, where they are forced to confront a man known as Die Duiwel, the Devil. On their adventures they will find themselves in a place where death is one breath away, where thousands of children are disappearing into the darkness, and where the woman they are searching for is on the hunt for revenge. When they stand face-to-face with the forgotten slaves of Africa, they will fight to redeem what has been lost. "A fast-paced mystery ... you won't put it down until you've unlocked the secrets and lies to find the truth. |

Kicking in the Wall by Barbara Abercombie
Actor Sam Shepard advised: “When you hit a wall, just kick it in.” Abercrombie’s playful, powerful method shows how. Like a workout with a top trainer, her exercises warm up, stretch, and build creative muscle. Barbara writes, “I’ve seen novels, memoirs, and many essays get started” in those five minutes”. Fuel for writers trying to get off the starting block, persevere through challenges, and cross their personal creativity finish lines. |
