This riveting suspense kept me up all night! A definite page-turner. Carly Smith was fighting for her life and I had to help her escape her captors as she fought to stay alive. Carly attempts to rebuild her life after years of captivity, but her past returns with a vengeance. She returns to Memphis where the life as she’d know as a seventeen-year-old ended.

Giving Doesn’t Always Require Money
Isn’t it funny how the first thing that pops into your mind when someone mentions giving is money? I suppose it’s because society today seems to be focused in that direction. However, money is only a small portion of what giving really means. Take time out of your busy schedule to cook a meal and deliver it to a sick friend. Too many times we disregard thoughts like this.

Breach of Trust by Rachel Dylan
This legal thriller escalated into a suspenseful from the beginning and didn’t slow up until the end. From the onset, I grew suspicious of every character which kept me turning the page.

The visual is a picture she can never erase. At the first bit of evidence, Mia is convinced the murderer is the…

Watching these movies may make us feel happy that everything turned out like it was supposed to, but how often does it leave us feeling a bit dejected? How many times have we wished we could be loved and…
Uncertain Destinations
Visiting an inmate in prison can be exhausting and stressful. The gate opens, and you step beyond tall razor-wired fences. The scrutiny of suspicious eyes from armed guards, the intimidation of metal detectors, and stern voices accompany you to an uncertain destination. The twisting in your gut pulls tighter with each steel door that opens and closes, trapping you inside. Security cameras and guards watch your body language, the movement of your hands and facial expressions. You’re ordered to keep your hands above the table as you wait for the inmate to appear from yet another steel door while feelings…
