I loved this suspenseful, action-packed novel by Susan Sleeman. She throws in the unexpected when someone attacks her heroine, FBI Special Agent Addison Leigh. Addison runs off the road and crashes, leaving her with no memory of her investigation, her co-workers, or her estranged husband, Deputy U.S. Marshal Mack Jordan.

In Chris’s book, Pause for Moms: Finding Rest in a too Busy World, I wrote a few paragraphs about my treadmill life. Like a hamster…
