Check This Box If You Are Blind: A Brother, A Sister, A True Story by Susan Meyers: “This is the wonderful, engaging story of a sister’s struggle to protect her brother, a man who calls her his guardian angel but refuses to be guarded. This beautiful, story, so sensitively and honestly told, takes up questions that brothers, sisters, and caregivers of all stripes must ask.” (June 2011)

Ferris’ Bluff by Fred Limberg: “Ace is on the run from everyone! The feds want him back in the Witness Protection Program. An international collection of gangsters and arms-merchants he pissed off working undercover are still looking for him. And worst of all—his own scarred self-image and terrifying nightmares haunt him almost every damn day. After two lonely years on the road he risks a short visit with his old friend, Granville Tubbs, who lives in the sleepy small town of Ferris’ Bluff, Arkansas—a town named for a hundred and fifty year old con. Ace hasn’t even had a tingle that anyone has been on his trail for almost a year. What could go wrong in a few days? One big honkin’ hell of a lot, it turns out!” (July 2011)

From feelings of self-doubt to falling in love, join in the journey of self-discovery and personal growth that is in store.” (July 2011)
