Book Cover & Preview Text
Kat's day brightened considerably when she found a convenient parking space at Oak Street Café. She dashed in, ordered a latte and then edged through the mingling customers to the newspaper rack. She froze when she read the morning’s headlines: Furniture Giant Files Chapter 7. Her disbelief was accompanied by spiteful feelings of satisfaction. Deeply buried grievances with James Campbell washed over her in a tidal wave. Almost immediately, guilt and compassion overrode her thirst for vengeance. Her hand trembled slightly as she picked up her latté. She paid the cashier and numbly walked back to her Accord. When her warring emotions were in-check, she picked up the paper and began to read.

About the Book
Divided We Fall
When Kat McDonald reads the morning headlines about a furniture giant’s bankruptcy, she is overcome with deeply buried grievances. Kat is a Campbell by rights, but a McDonald by choice. She already resents her place as the unacknowledged daughter of the wealthy Campbell family, but in the wake of the bankruptcy, Kat suddenly finds herself drawn into the Campbell family’s web of secrecy and lies. Only time will tell if she can reconcile her feelings before it is too late.
Judge Not
Disillusioned after losing her job as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Nikki Ragazzi returns to her hometown to regroup, taking a job as a sales clerk in her mother’s gift shop. But when Nikki’s father and grandfather broker a land deal between a politician and a mall development company, tempers flare. After Nikki writes an article about the property sale, she is suddenly drawn into the unsettling controversy. To top it off, now she must deal with Annie Mae Bailey, a demanding ninety-year-old woman who has hired her to coauthor her memoir.
Divided We Fall/Judge Not shares two novellas that take a compelling glimpse into the lives of everyday characters who must learn to heal from the past before each can embrace the future.
