Amy’s mother made her promise never to talk about her dreams back when she was a young girl. Now that she’s a wife and mother of two teens, the images are more disturbing. And instead of receiving them in dreams, the visions come when she’s wide awake. Staying quiet is no longer an option.
As her involvement in a high-stakes case at work exposes Amy to threats from unexpected places, her fourteen-year-old daughter, Megan, gets tangled up in rumors. Then Megan seeks solace in what only seems like a safe place.
Dreams, writing, and visions converge in unfolding events that threaten her career, but more importantly, the safety of her family. Faith and courage are the tools Amy must use to triumph in the end.

Christmas Star
$16.99Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Each Christmas, the final decoration Madge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal.

However, a letter delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers poses a mystery that puts a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective. Not only does the letter bring new meaning to the star hanging on the Christmas tree, but it also illuminates the events of the very first Christmas.
Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a bit of holiday sadness into a joy that the boy has never known.
