Following his 81year old mother’s stroke, Aidan Brezovar leaves Skyline in the Midwest after thirty years of Catholic ordained ministry there. With the health scare catapulting his mother into a total life review, Aidan’s move to the Lavaro ranch comes at a critical time. Petite, with dark silver hair, a happy, open face, a ready smile, and an Irish sparkle in her eyes, Zoe Lavaro is much more than the “cute little lady” she is thought to be by most people who meet her. She is a shrewd observer of human behavior with a born survivor’s critical eye, hunger for security, and willingness to risk whatever it takes to get her needs met. Brezovar’s mission is to care for his mother at their mountain ranch, but he must also contend with his stepfather, who invited him to come but wrangles with Aidan about virtually everything after he arrives. The consequences of Aidan’s move touch every member of the family. This book is about a family’s struggle to adjust to change, the hidden fault lines that can ruin relationships, and the uncovering of love’s true tensile strength when stressed by emotional deprivation, abuse, jealousy, and betrayal. Brezovar also examines the searing pain brought about by divorce and remarriage. When the dust finally settles, families are transformed.

For the Love of Jack How to Love a Jack Russell After the writer and her husband lost both of their dogs within a year of each other they were both hesitant to bring another one into their home. The heartache of saying goodbye was just too much pain, especially for Jim. For everyone who’s shared their home with a dog knows the compassion and endearment we feel for them and the loss of them can seem unbearable. While taking a month off from work and responsibilities the couple traveled to Europe with two close friends to engulf themselves in an adventurous journey to celebrate life. While on a wonderful trek of exploring and remembrances, the author realizes her life is not complete without a dog by her side. The overseas vacation brought past images back to her and it was then she knew she had to bring her husband on board with her insatiable need for sharing their home once again with a canine companion. After falling in love with the many Jack Russells they were witness to, and some they personally encountered, the author made up her mind this was to be the breed they would seek out and welcome into their home. Sharing their life with two dogs at a time had always worked well, so the decision was made to do the same again. The excitement and newness of a Jack Russell was one neither was prepared for. All the previous dogs they had shared their life with were relatively mild and endearingly, lazy. The journey of bringing two nine week old Jack Russell puppies home and the adventures the owners would encounter were lessons in patience and captivating endearment. The transformation of sentiment from raucous puppyhood to revering adult has made it all worthwhile. This has been a never ending lesson in love.

The critically acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller A Land More Kind Than Home—hailed as "a powerfully moving debut that reads as if Cormac McCarthy decided to rewrite Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird" (Richmond Times Dispatch)—returns with a resonant novel of love and atonement, blood and vengeance, set in western North Carolina, involving two young sisters, a wayward father, and an enemy determined to see him pay for his sins. After their mother's unexpected death, twelve-year-old Easter and her six-year-old sister Ruby are adjusting to life in foster care when their errant father, Wade, suddenly appears. Since Wade signed away his legal rights, the only way he can get his daughters back is to steal them away in the night. Brady Weller, the girls' court-appointed guardian, begins looking for Wade, and he quickly turns up unsettling information linking Wade to a recent armored car heist, one with a whopping $14.5 million missing. But Brady Weller isn't the only one hunting the desperate father. Robert Pruitt, a shady and mercurial man nursing a years-old vendetta, is also determined to find Wade and claim his due. Narrated by a trio of alternating voices, This Dark Road to Mercy is a story about the indelible power of family and the primal desire to outrun a past that refuses to let go.
