Because You Loved Me
A teenage girl plots her mother’s murder with a deranged online lover in this true-crime classic by the New York Times bestselling true crime author. Jeanne Dominico was a hard-working single mother. Nicole, her fourteen-year-old daughter, was on the honor roll—and head over heels in love with an older boy she’d met through the Internet. Once the lovers met in person, Jeanne sensed trouble. If only she’d known that the life in danger was her own. With a history of psychological trouble and family misfortune, Billy Sullivan demanded obsessive and controlling power over Nicole. The twisted Romeo and Juliet responded to Jeanne’s motherly concern with brutal fury—her fiancé discovered Jeanne’s beaten, barely recognizable body on the kitchen floor. Nicole’s stunning confession and guilty plea led to Billy’s sensational trial, where a sordid tale of love, loss, betrayal, and murder finally took a cold-blooded killer offline—and behind bars. Includes sixteen pages of shocking photos “Phelps is one of America’s finest true-crime authors.” —Vincent Bugliosi “Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers.” —Allison Brennan

Hardway to Heaven
John Malone, a corporate attorney and father of two young boys is a man consumed with getting promoted to partner at his law firm. He has little time for anything religious, especially after the death of his mother. Unfortunately for John, shortly after being promoted to partner, he is diagnosed with a brain tumor and dies shortly thereafter. Since John did little to develop his inherent spiritual nature of love and faith, he wakes up in the first or lowest of seven levels of heaven, the level where those with no faith are sent. Fortunately for John, a man named Marcus whom John befriended just before his death arrives at the same time. Unlike John, Marcus seems to have a better understanding of where they are and why they are there. It is a story of faith, love and friendship. It is also a story which illustrates that while there are many differences among the various religions of the world, there are many similarities as well and perhaps it is these similarities that are truly divine.
