Two young cousins, Jenny O'Shea and Jade Ritchie, share a special bond that goes beyond family and friendship. When that bond is tested by abuse, the two girls come to learn the value of their friendship. They share a powerful, empowering, and emotional journey as they both fight to protect their childhood and their innocence.  When an older cousin arrives, the darkness of his intentions quickly becomes clear, but only to the girls. To the outside world, he is a loving big brother and a protector, but the girls quickly learn that appearances can be deceiving. They know that, unless they can outwit him, they run the risk of becoming prisoners to his sinister plans. His cunning and perverse intentions are a constant threat that they are determined to fight off together.  But just as they are about to launch their own defensive against him, they are separated. Once alone, each girl's life becomes indescribably more complicated and dangerous. And just when freedom is within sight, an even darker secret is revealed-one that will change their lives forever.  Theirs is a story of resilience and the power of the human spirit.

Mary's teacher suddenly appeared as a few children began to stray from the straight line she had originally formed. She ushered the children back to their places until it was time to board their bus. Too many goddammed rules as far as I'm concerned, he thought. Mary seemed unconcerned with the rules for the most part, and he laughed when she twirled her skirt and bounced around anyway. She was some little tease! He could hardly breathe with excitement as he watched her. He'd been patient, waiting and watching, intent on her next move. Nervously, he began to pick his teeth with the toothpick he'd found on the seat. It wasn't long before he dropped the toothpick, and his hand slid down to his zipper. Suddenly, he was aware that there was a knock on the driver's side window. It startled the hell out of him and embarrassed him. His face turned bright red. He struggled to gain composure as he rolled down the window.

This brother and sister team decided to combine their efforts and themes to present exciting tales of unexpected events and emotions. Ordinary events lead to extraordinary outcomes. As relationships and expectations change for all of us in our everyday lives, these stories take in the raw emotion and attributes that allow you to experience the characters as if you were playing the roles yourself. The styles of writing are classically different but have a main thread that ties them together. These stories cross all geographic, socio-economic and historical lines--from the Nazi invasion and World War II to a small rural New Englandtown and the poverty and violence of an American inner-city. From kindness to vengeance, these stories transport us to a world where choices make the difference.

Genre Fiction

The test of survival lies within one's character, and, yet, experiences can jade you and change life forever. Bea and Bobby McCreary's chances to experience the life their mother had hoped for them became dimmer and dimmer as sacrifice and starvation crept in. Post-World War II circumstances led their mother, Lottie, to the point of desperation where she sunk to depths she never could haveimagined. It was a world turned upside down where morals and ethics played a smaller part. It was only satisfying their hunger and staying alive that became their daily mission in life. This story, inspired by true events, happened not only for Bea and Bobby but for thousands of other children whose families felt that survival seemed possible--only if their children were handed over to orphanages to foster their care. What a rude awakening and choice it would be--an orphanage, a workhouse--or the street--if these children survived at all.
