Rest a Bit, Mother

Make Me


Book Description

"Child's best for some time...with detective-story and romcom elements (even sly humour) on top of the psychological duels and set-piece violence." (Sunday Times) Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat. Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness. _________ Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series. Be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***PRE-ORDER NOW**

The Sandpipers


Book Description

Our personal choices often conflict with the magnanimity with which building stable relationships require. Rose-Mary and her daughter, Angel, have, for the most part, lived as strangers to one another, treading separate self-destructive paths. They are only re-united by Rose-Mary¿s eminent demise. Rose-Mary, being the mother, carries most of the blame for their failed relationship. Such a responsibility as reconciliation, forgiveness, and unity cannot wipe out. What is needed is absolution¿that all powerful deliverance which surpasses the mere idea of ¿forgive and be forgiven.¿ In the end, it is Rose-Mary¿s voice that redeems her. Her voice called Joshua to her. It is not him who seeks her. She is the author of her own cleansing. Joshua is a pawn. Rose-Mary dies in peace, fully aware of what treasure family is. Angel mourns and weeps not with sadness, not for her loss. She cries for that which she has gained: love. She falls in love with new consciousness. Again, Joshua is the agent of her rescue, the vessel, the message bearer.
