A daughter found...

Danny Nakamura deserted his post in Vietnam and disappeared into Hong Kong's Walled City, vowing never to go home again. Decades later, his health failing, he's suddenly found a reason to return to LA: the discovery of a daughter he never knew he had. But getting home won't be easy. Danny has powerful enemies in the CIA who will do whatever it takes to keep him out of the country.

The search begins.

Two people adrift in a foreign land, Beatrix and Danny need all the help they can get. A storm is coming. Can they help each other survive it and find their children before time runs out for both of them?

Sable has been exposed for who she is: Imari, the illegitimate daughter of Istraa's king, and a Liag -someone born with forbidden Shah power. After ten years of hiding and surviving in the bitter cold Wilds, she is finally returning home.

But it's not the homecoming Imari envisioned. After all, her father proclaimed her dead ten years ago, and with an anonymous Liag leader operating in Istraa's shadows, attacking villages and burning down temples, her father fears the people will blame Imari.

It could mean his throne, and her life.

Worse yet, the night Imari played her flute in Skyhold's court, something unlocked inside of her, and now her power will not quiet. Neither will the growing fury she feels on behalf of Istraa's Sol Velorian labor- people who share her blood.

As that fury becomes too loud to ignore, Imari chooses to use her position to liberate the Sol Velor. But can she free them without angering enemies hungry for the power she wields-a power that could rip the Five Provinces apart?

"As Goliath grew, we grew."

Born to impoverished, Italian immigrants in 1960s Canada, Domenic Aversa is creative and restless. He shares a busy but happy home with his hardworking father and doting, strict, traditional mother.

When his childhood reputation as a troublemaker drives him to juvenile delinquency and his mother to uncontrollable anger, Domenic decides the best way to overcome adversity is not to rebel but to stare it down. Determined to prove himself, he is drawn toward increasingly difficult and dangerous challenges around the world. He supervises abandoned and abused children, trains delinquent military cadets, starts a business in the violent underbelly of the Soviet Union, takes down white-collar criminals across America, and even joins the war on HIV/AIDS. He faces each giant, stone in hand, determined to overcome adversity and help those in need.

Closer to home, his mother, Benedetta, puts on a cheerful façade as a pillar of the community. But with increasingly severe health problems, she is facing a Goliath of her own within a healthcare system unequipped or perhaps unwilling to help. As Domenic's compass slowly points him back home, he realizes saving his mother might be his toughest challenge yet.

Benedetta and Domenic's close, complex mother-son relationship is the backdrop for this poignant and inspiring memoir that reminds us that there is more than one way to slay a giant. More importantly, each challenge offers an opportunity for growth, resolution, and acceptance.

From the complex family dynamics of a small English village to the lasting scars of childhood, Edna Watson is both cantankerous and compassionate—the woman that you love to hate.

When her cousin calls to report her father’s passing, Edna sees a chance for closure of a shocking incident that happened when she was five years old. But attending her Uncle’s funeral means confronting the memory that has dogged her life with shame and insecurity.

A stranger wants to buy her house and despite her protestations, he seems intent on bullying her into submission. Why is her house so important to him?

Opening a previously unopened box belonging to her late mother, Edna revisits painful memories she’s tried to forget whilst uncovering life changing and distressing secrets.

Can she face her demons and heal decades-old wounds, or will the terrible circumstances of her childhood destroy her last chance for peace?

That Terrible Woman is a powerful and bittersweet novel of love and hate, loss and resentment, the corrosive effects of long-held grudges, and the redemption found in forgiveness.

The dark, scandalous, and completely twisted sequel to Kiersten Modglin's #1 bestselling domestic thriller, THE ARRANGEMENT...

First, there was the arrangement.

A simple, yet salacious fix to the problems looming in their marriage.

But when things took a tragic turn, Peter's and Ainsley's lives quickly fell into disarray.

Now, their secrets have been exposed.

They know the truth-about each other and their marriage.

As they struggle to move on from their past and the damage they've caused, new problems begin to surface.

Someone they love is hiding a catastrophic secret. The fragile ground they stand on is starting to crumble. Their family is being torn apart at the seams. And, maybe worst of all, a threat from the past is lurking, ready to unveil the things they'd kill to keep hidden.

They thought the nightmare they'd made it through was over, but the worst is just beginning...

Once, they vowed to do anything to make their marriage work.

Now, that vow will push every boundary they have left.

In order to survive, they'll need to completely trust each other.

But can they?

Last time they did, things went terribly wrong...

This time, it might be worse.

If there's one thing that's certain, their secrets are too big to let anyone walk away alive.

Can unity be achieved in America or are we too divided as a nation? Can American principles such as fairness, equality under the law, and reasonable accommodation be applied to many of America's greatest needs?

America is looking for real solutions that are bold and can be supported by even the most ardent Conservatives and Progressives. Without a long-term plan to address the social safety net (retirement, healthcare, and education), immigration, climate defenses, taxation, inflation, and the federal budget, we will continue to devolve into separate Americas.

The current proposals by both political parties are incrementally making these problems worse, putting future generations at risk. Rather, The American Unity Plan is a fully integrated, bold solution that can be supported by the American people. It is a uniquely American roadmap for long-term success incorporating ideas from across the political spectrum.
