Book Description

When a woman walks into Samantha Sweet’s pastry shop, claiming to have amnesia, it’s a puzzle that seems to have nothing to do with Sam’s new commission for a fantastic one-of-a-kind order of chocolates, although "Jane Doe" seems to know a lot about that. Sam calls Sheriff Beau to solve the mystery of who this stranger is and where she belongs. But Beau’s attention is occupied by other things: nearly his entire force is out sick with some kind of flu bug, and now a murder far from Taos requires his full attention. Nothing is fitting together, until suddenly it does. “Jane’s” forgotten memories become vitally important as Beau and Sam work to piece the puzzle together in this latest installment in Shelton’s internationally bestselling series. “Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes.”—The Midwest Book Review “I’m addicted to this series!”--Mollie D. Williams, 5 star review online “Great series. Holds your interest and leaves you wanting more.” --Paula Kroencke, 5 stars,

Book Description

Sweet Land of Liberty is Thomas J. Sugrue’s epic account of the abiding quest for racial equality in states from Illinois to New York, and of how the intense northern struggle differed from and was inspired by the fight down South. Sugrue’s panoramic view sweeps from the 1920s to the present–more than eighty of the most decisive years in American history. He uncovers the forgotten stories of battles to open up lunch counters, beaches, and movie theaters in the North; the untold history of struggles against Jim Crow schools in northern towns; the dramatic story of racial conflict in northern cities and suburbs; and the long and tangled histories of integration and black power. Filled with unforgettable characters and riveting incidents, and making use of information and accounts both public and private, such as the writings of obscure African American journalists and the records of civil rights and black power groups, Sweet Land of Liberty creates an indelible history.

Book Description

Twenty-nine-year-old Dallas native Caroline Spring is as bright and attractive as she is tall. With flaming red hair, long legs, and incredible one-of-a-kind violet-colored eyes, she's a standout at 5'10." But despite a propensity for short skirts and high stiletto heels, Caroline is all business when it comes to her business--high tech crimes analysis. Raised by a loving family who were as normal as cornbread and Friday Night football, Caroline always felt there was something "different" about her. That difference became painfully clear in documents hidden among the papers in her mother's estate, hinting that Caroline was not a Spring by birth. Armed only with a stranger's birth certificate, and a post card announcing the reunion of a family she'd never heard of, mailed from a Northern California city with a name she can barely pronounce, Caroline queues up for the next assignment to the San Francisco Bay Area. Finding the perpetrator of the million-dollar fraud scheme she's assigned to investigate is the easy part. Keeping a safe distance from charming bad boy Mick Mahoney, a brilliant scientist and forensic investigator who believes in family curses, is the hard one. Especially when his family may be hers. But an even greater challenge awaits them and solving that mystery is going to be murder!
