Is murder always a simple transaction? Don't bank on it. Sadie Walela's life is about to be turned upside down. One morning Sadie unlocks the door at the Mercury Savings Bank and confronts a robber who's been lying in wait for her and her fellow employees. He flees after stealing money and killing her coworker. When a whirlwind of events leaves Sadie herself under suspicion, she sets out to clear her name.

The two-hundred-year-old myth of the “vanishing” American Indian still holds some credence in the American Southeast, the region from which tens of thousands of Indians were relocated after passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. Yet, as the editors of this volume amply demonstrate, a significant Indian population remained behind after those massive relocations.

Tastes Like Purple was written for all the wine lovers author Kristia Freeman has met over the years. Some were new to the wine world, others very well versed, but all started at the same place: with their first sip. This book breaks down everything there is to know about the basics of wine and the wine industry. It makes the subject fun and leaves readers wanting to learn more.

But most of all, it helps readers develop their own palate -- instead of adapting to someone else's.
