A Table For Two… written by Alisa Bair… the back cover reads, “Living with a child who is expected to die is some of the sweetest and cruelest living there is. Invisibly a barrier forms between you, and no matter how long or how tightly you hold her or how deeply you look into her eyes, you haven’t really reached her. And so while part of you wants to quickly end this unbearably torturous interim, another part keeps longing to hold her again, to apprehend with eyes and heart for all of time, to pin her down, bring her safely to your side, keep enough of her before the looming, incomprehensible departure. There is little solace.”

The Last Sin Eater…written by Francine Rivers…the back cover reads, “All that matters for Cadi Forbes is finding the one man who can set her free from the sin that plagues her days and nights…the sin that has stolen her mother’s love from her and made her wish she could flee life and its terrible justice. She knows its forbidden, that doing so will bring curses down on her-but something deep and instinctive moves her against all dire warnings, to find the “Sin Eater.” Before her journeys are over, Cadi and the Sin Eater must face themselves, each other, and the One who will demand all from them in exchange for the answers they seek.”

Chasing Fireflies…written by Charles Martin…the back cover reads, “”Never settle for less than the truth,” she told him. But when you don’t even know your real name, the truth gets a little complicated. It can nestle so close to home it’s hard to see. It can even flourish inside a lie. And as Chase Walker discovered, learning the truth about who you are can be elusive- and as magical- as chasing fireflies on a summer night. A haunting story about fishing, baseball, home cooking, and other matter of life and death.”

When Crickets Cry…written by Charles Martin…the back cover reads, “A man with a painful past…a child with a doubtful future…and a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts. It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. The strander understands more about it than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives. Before it’s over, they’ll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry- and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.”
