We are pleased to present two tales of family misadventures penned by Kate Maruyama. SAFER Los Angeles is in lockdown, “Safer at home,” so Soledad, a college student, jumps at the opportunity to be live-in caretaker for Story, the son of an A-list celebrity. Solid pay and a change of scene are just what she needs in the pandemic. The parents are high maintenance, but she and Story form a quick bond. The dazzling lifestyle shows its dark underside when unsettling occurrences mount. Now it turns out the job that would set Soledad up for college might derail her life entirely if she decides to keep Story safer. FAMILY SOLSTICE The Massey family has a secret and Shea, the youngest, will be the last to find out exactly what’s in the basement. She’s been training hard for her 13th year when it will finally be her turn to perform the family duty of fighting. Her older siblings won’t tell her anything, but she’s excited and ready to take all comers. Even if they had, nothing could truly prepare her for what she has to face. These compelling explorations of dark family secrets fearlessly delve into some of today’s most relevant and troubling issues. In Safer, Maruyama explores what parents will do for a child, and what happens to outsiders in unsafe houses, while Family Solstice addresses the dangers of tradition, inheritance and the sins of the father.

“Whether you like a steamy, creamy cup of slightly sweet java like me, prefer water, or just come with your cup of gratitude or curiosity--let’s talk about Jesus. He’s our Best Friend—even when we don’t know it!” More Praise for Hot Coffee In The Morning I’ve known Babette for nearly four decades and have always been impressed with her impeccable moral character, integrity and sincere devotion to spiritual principles found in the word of God. Her years of intense study, diligently searching the scriptures, fervent ministry in various settings and overcoming challenging life experiences, make her uniquely qualified to offer such spiritually fresh inspiration and new direction illustrated in this devotional material. If you are looking for a book that will propel you to explore more fully an in-depth knowledge of the word of God coupled with practical examples and challenges to adventures through action plans, you have found it. The material offers clear, concise steps, refreshing examples and hope to assist in the implementation of the word of God to enhance your spiritual journey. A must-read for those who care about creating a better world for themselves and others. Pastor Marilyn Hill Northside Christian Center; Tulsa, OK Babette brings a lifetime of valuable and varied experiences to this devotional --and it shows. This work is applicable and relevant from beginning to end. This devotional is thought-provoking and challenges one to study; it is chockful of encouragement and good advice. Scripture tells us that “all scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17, NIV). By ingesting and digesting the intended purpose of this workbook, you will be doing exactly what the word of God requires which is to “Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMP) A lot of effort has gone into the preparation of this workbook for your maturation in God’s Word, so one is well advised to put as much effort into using this workbook as the author did in preparing it. We declare much success to everyone who seriously partakes of it. Apostle Dr. Robert, D.D. and Prophet Kitty Holmes God’s Word Christian Ministries
