In this riveting and complex thriller from the author of Lie to Me, a woman must figure out if she’s losing her mind, or if her husband has really returned from the dead… The day Aubrey Hamilton’s husband is declared dead by the state of Tennessee should bring the closure she needs to move on with her life. But Aubrey doesn’t want to move on; she wants Josh back. It’s been five years since he disappeared, since their blissfully happy marriage—they were happy, weren’t they?—screeched to a halt and Aubrey became the prime suspect in her husband’s disappearance. Five years of emptiness, solitude, loneliness, questions. Why didn’t Josh show up at his best friend’s bachelor party? Was he murdered? Did he run away? And now, all this time later, who is the mysterious yet strangely familiar figure suddenly haunting Aubrey’s new life? In No One Knows, New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison peels back the layers of a complex woman hiding dark secrets beneath her unassuming exterior. This masterful thriller is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Liane Moriarty, and Paula Hawkins.

No One Knows By: Diane Ranker Riesen “God constantly speaks to us in some way or form. Sometimes to invite us; sometimes to comfort us; other times to encourage us, or on occasions to beseech us; but never to condemn us. I ‘met’ Diane Ranker Riesen during August 2015 during what was called (where I was employed at the time) the Nigerian ‘rainy season.’ Not in person, but through the magic of her words. After reading a number of her poems that she shared on Facebook I realized that this lady was someone special and that God uses her in a special way as an instrument of hope and love. Diane, even though she had published three books, was not yet widely known or recognized for the quality of her work as she most definitely deserves to be. I felt, and I told her, that her work deserves to be read and appreciated by millions. In this new collection of 400 poems, she again gives us a glimpse at the massive beauty that God has invested inside her heart. My wish is that God would bless many through her words and that she will continue to comfort, inspire, and encourage us with her beautiful poems for many years to come.” -Coenraad Marneweck “Diane’s poetry moves me, and I, too, feel FAITH, HOPE, PEACE, and PRAISE for our Heavenly Father. My soul sings when I read Diane’s very deep and amazing words. Her poetry is like a ‘sermon’ that God has written, through Diane, who seems to have a direct line to His Power of Love for His children.” -Leah Pallaris

To call this simply a book of sermons does not do it justice. They are sermons'preached over a thirty-five-year period'to differing congregations, but they are also lessons on life and living. Biblically based to be sure, but the scriptures are filtered through a mind steeped in the classics, open to what's going on in the world, and not afraid to raise questions that challenge the very faith that is being preached. Although Rev. Starnes is known for his preaching skills, he is primarily a writer, who, as someone says, ?knows how to string words together.' A note worthy comment made when considering his book is what one said: ?He writes for the ear.'

'These essays ... live and grow in the mind' James Campbell, Independent Being a writer, says James Baldwin in this searing collection of essays, requires 'every ounce of stamina he can summon to attempt to look on himself and the world as they are'. His seminal 1961 follow-up to Notes on a Native Son shows him responding to his times and exploring his role as an artist with biting precision and emotional power: from polemical pieces on racial segregation and a journey to 'the Old Country' of the Southern states, to reflections on figures such as Ingmar Bergman and André Gide, and on the first great conference of African writers and artists in Paris. 'Brilliant...accomplished...strong...vivid...honest...masterly' The New York Times 'A bright and alive book, full of grief, love and anger' Chicago Tribune

A World War II-era Cinderella story with a twist. Orphaned at nine, Miranda Letty is taken in by her uncle's family in Cedar Falls, IA, where she is treated like hired help, especially by her Aunt Gertrude and cousin Betty.
