A thought-provoking Christian mystery, full of laughs and plot twists.<\/p>\n

All Salem Grimes expects as she walks into the church is her regular Tuesday morning AA meeting, but when she encounters a dead body instead, she does what any self-respecting clueless amateur would do — she freaks completely out and shouts words good Christians aren’t even supposed to know.<\/p>\n

But when Salem learns that her ex-husband Tony is accused of the murder, she wonders if God might be steering her toward a chance of helping him and thereby redeeming herself — or at least a chance to make up for the pain she caused him when they were married and she was drinking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hart Ducaine was the love of Kate Miller’s life, but he hadn’t been interested in a long-term relationship with her fifteen years before. So why should she trust him now? There is no way he will ever be her knight in shining . . . she can’t remember the word . . . knight in shining whatever!
\nA professional bull rider turned rancher, Hart only has eyes for Kate, but she is one sassy piece of baggage — even more so than back when she was a teenager and she’d first caught his eye.
\nTrust is hard to regain once it’s been broken, and neither of them are willing to take chances with matters of the heart — not anymore. And then Kate’s Cajun grandmother, Maw Maw, and some of her other relatives set a plan into motion to abandon the two on a primitive island in the bayou. No cell phones. No electricity.

Los Angeles is a city founded on blood. Once a small Mexican pueblo teeming with Californios, Indians, and Americans, all armed with Bowie knives and Colt revolvers, it was among the most murderous locales in the Californian frontier.

In this “groundbreaking” (True West<\/em>) look at American history, Faragher shows us how the City of Angels went from a lawless outpost to the sprawling metropolis it is today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
