The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise
The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise
by Colleen Oakley
Filled with surprises! (11/10/2022)
I was drawn into this story from the very first chapter. The relationship between Tanner and Louise, generations apart, evolved from a frosty, almost hostile beginning, forced together through mutual need, to one of trust, where each felt drawn to confess their fears and …more

True Crime Story: A Novel
by Joseph Knox
True Crime Story is fiction. Or is it? (11/8/2021)

The Forgetting Time
The Forgetting Time
by Sharon Guskin
Read this one all in one sitting! (11/28/2015)
"The Forgetting Time" drew me in from the start, and I couldn't put it down! The riveting storytelling and realistic characters you genuinely care about, challenge the reader to reconsider how we look at life, and how far we are willing to go and push our beliefs, when …more
