With a carefree childhood, Maggie's adolescent to teenage years would have but one flaw: her mother. Her remedy to this problem would be found in one perfect man that she met her first year away at college. However, her "home remedy," coupled with her lack of understanding about her mother and her "perfect man," would lead her through the worst life she could have ever imagined for herself and her children. Her pride and selfish ambition would mask the dysfunction for years, until her grown children would rescue her, but not before she had taught all four children how to wear the same masks that she forced herself to wear. This is the true-life story of Maggie and the family curses that would negatively impact her and her children's lives. She assumes that she knows best how to live life at every turn and in every scenario, but can she be convinced that her pride is in the way? That there is a better way to do life? Once freed from the curses, the masks, and the man who holds them both, she continues to selfishly look for ways to satisfy the deepest longings of her heart...until her life intersects with a woman twenty years her senior, but not a day older in vitality and passion for life. Maggie is drawn to this mentor who adopts her as her own and endearingly refers to herself as her Mocha Mama. Maggie is just one of her hundreds of adopted children. Michelle leads her on a journey to find the most kind, loving, and fulfilling arms that would ever embrace her. It's a journey to wholeness, and she's never goin' back! The honest, open approach Maggie uses depicting her years of mishandling life is both refreshing and riveting. This authentic story of Maggie's demise, rescue, and redirection into an attainable fulfilling life will inspire you.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER Never Go Back is a novel of action-charged suspense starring “one of the best thriller characters at work today” (Newsweek). Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had. Reacher is there to meet—in person—the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But it isn’t Turner behind the CO’s desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about. When threatened, you can run or fight. Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs. Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his paces—and makes him question who he is, what he’s done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road.
