Book Description

Shopgirl. Telephone operator. Lady's companion. Smashingly good secretary. All jobs that Dorothy Lundegaard possesses the skills to excel at. And even at the tail end of the Great Depression in St. Paul, Minnesota, all jobs that Dottie could secure for herself. But, alas, none appeal to her. Her true calling, her vocation, remains the family business. She longs to follow in her father's private detective footsteps. Or at least assist her brother John as he strives to revive the agency after the death of their father. She gets her chance when her brother is presented with the case of a kidnapped girl. A very resourceful girl. The sort of girl that reminds Dottie of herself at that age. Dottie's insights might prove just the thing her brother needs to get that girl home safe. "A Resourceful Girl," the first short story in the Dorothy Lundegaard Mysteries.

Book Description

In the unforgiving vortex of the American heartland, when you have to choose, you always choose life For Iona Moon, the open fields of the Kila Flats and the town of White Falls are centuries apart rather than the distance of a few miles. Mocked and feared by her classmates, Iona is only desirable to beautiful, brilliant Jay Tyler when they’re in the backseat of Willy Hamilton’s Chevy. Passion offers relief from the abuse of her older brothers and the sorrow of her mother’s slow surrender to cancer. But transient pleasures do not lead to grace—and Iona discovers she must escape everything she knows before she can learn to love the ones who have harmed her. Sensual, haunting, and tender, Iona Moon is a cry for independence, a demand for respect, and a realization that all worlds are cruel in their own ways.
