Synopsis The Con Man's Daughter by : Candice Curry

When Candice Curry was a little girl, she put her hand in her father's back pocket so that she wouldn't get lost in large crowds. Little did she know that as she followed him, he was plying his trade: conning people. Her family drove stolen cars, lived in stolen houses, and shopped with stolen credit cards. Drug use was regular, as were visits from strange people who were trying to track her father down. Though she eventually cut ties with her father, Candice could not ignore the scars that were left from her childhood. This is her story, one steeped in secrets but one that, ultimately, led her to a place of forgiveness and freedom. As she struggles to understand her criminal father, as well as her own imperfect life, Candice comes to realize that we are not defined by our circumstances but rather by how we react to those circumstances. She's found peace in the knowledge that God doesn't love us because we're perfect--but because he is.

Synopsis Daughter of the Forest by : Juliet Marillier

Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

Synopsis The Letter by : Brett Stephan Bass

Emma Rose was the rival of any man in wit, intellect, and courage. Those who gazed upon her face lost their breaths, being awestruck by her beauty. The only child of John Wilkin, the greatest sixteenth-century sword maker in all of Europe, Emma lived in Calais, then belonging to England. She was given a glorious life, but it was not hers alone to keep for fate claimed partial ownership. Two men vied for Emma's affections, disrupting the compass of history. One was Arthur Tudor, the Prince of Wales and the first-born son of Henry VII. He was heir to the English throne. Prince Arthur lived a life robbed of choices; "duty" suffocated his "desires." When he turned two, his father used his future as a pawn in a maneuvering game of political chess and promised his son's hand in marriage to the Spanish princess, Catherine of Aragon, the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella. It was foolhardy for Arthur to dote upon Emma Rose but he chose to ignore the consequences Emma's second suitor was a French nobleman, Rene du Blanc, a soldier of fortune who swore his allegiance to King Louis XII of France, who rewarded him handsomely. His pursuit of Emma was likewise fraught with uncertainty for reasons better left unsaid. Who would win Emma's heart and why would the identity of her lover lay hidden from the world for 30 years? Because the mystery was destined to alter the course of European history...once the answer was revealed by "The Letter " BRETT STEPHAN BASS is an attorney-at-law who began his professional career specializing in corporate litigation and appellate work.

Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
