Oh, we are going to have so much fun discovering just who Danielle is.Question is can I get her to see the brave girl that I see?Will she accept my secrets, my dark?Will she be the one to finally slow me down?Discovering Danielle is the third book in the Hidden Series. It is a stand-alone novel however it is helpful to read Finding Anna, book one and Saving Addy book two to avoid spoilers. There is no cliff-hanger.

He'd love to just forget her--but something won't let him. And he can't help but worry about her as they are heading into more remote regions of Alaska and eventually into foreign waters. Something sinister is going on, and the deeper they push, the more Gage fears they've only discovered the tip of the iceberg.

Hourglass


Book Description

"Hourglass is an inquiry into how marriage is transformed by time--abraded, strengthened, shaped in miraculous and sometimes terrifying ways by accident and experience. With courage and relentless honesty, Dani Shapiro opens the door to her house, her marriage, and her heart, and invites us to witness her own marital reckoning--a reckoning in which she confronts both the life she dreamed of and the life she made, and struggles to reconcile the girl she was with the woman she has become."




Devotion


Book Description

In her midforties and settled into the responsibilities and routines of adulthood, Dani Shapiro found herself with more questions than answers. Was this all life was—a hodgepodge of errands, dinner dates, e-mails, meetings, to-do lists? What did it all mean? Having grown up in a deeply religious and traditional family, Shapiro had no personal sense of faith, despite repeated attempts to create a connection to something greater. Feeling as if she was plunging headlong into what Carl Jung termed "the afternoon of life," she wrestled with self-doubt and a searing disquietude that would awaken her in the middle of the night. Set adrift by loss—her father's early death; the life-threatening illness of her infant son; her troubled relationship with her mother—she had become edgy and uncertain. At the heart of this anxiety, she realized, was a challenge: What did she believe? Spurred on by the big questions her young son began to raise, Shapiro embarked upon a surprisingly joyful quest to find meaning in a constantly changing world. The result is Devotion: a literary excavation to the core of a life. In this spiritual detective story, Shapiro explores the varieties of experience she has pursued—from the rituals of her black hat Orthodox Jewish relatives to yoga shalas and meditation retreats. A reckoning of the choices she has made and the knowledge she has gained, Devotion is the story of a woman whose search for meaning ultimately leads her home. Her journey is at once poignant and funny, intensely personal—and completely universal.

Dаnі mоаnеd lоudlу аѕ hеr рlеаѕurе rоѕе tо a nеаr оvеrwhеlmіng level. Dani rarely іnсоrроrаtеd insertion when she mаѕturbаtеd, but she dеѕіrеd tо рut on a ѕhоw fоr Sаm аnd Aѕhlеу. Sо thеу lіkе gіrlѕ, Dani thоught. Thеn I'm going tо drive them wіld.
