A Gift Is Waiting
Patrick and Maria Walsh, a suburban Philadelphia couple with simple, well-planned lives, experience the birth of their third child. But all is not how they planned it. Halfway around the world a barely-alive child is placed in an orphanage under the care of Sister Christiana, a Catholic nun whose unselfish dedication to children is shaken by her desire for something more.Can Patrick find his way past his instinct to control the world around him and open his heart again? Will Sister Christiana find answers to her questions in the unresponsive child? Surrounded by the selflessness and caring of people who love them, a broken father, a questioning nun and a lost child learn that life offers amazing gifts and moments to treasure.Based on real events, this beautiful story resonates with hope as it takes us along on multiple journeys to a place where fear is overcome by others' willingness to give. And as these uncharted journeys move forward they reveal to us that there is always a “gift” waiting somewhere in our lives if we are willing to recognize and embrace it.
Protect the Family
With a few bruises and some lessons learned, Philadelphian Ian Connors continues his new job as a law firm investigator in this third installment of the Ian Connors Mystery series. It's 1980 and casinos have come to Atlantic City, bringing with them greed and corruption. Ian seeks to help an abused, elderly woman rid herself of Mafia control in the form of vicious mobster Nicky Scafino. Having no knowledge of the island-city's inner workings, Ian must tiptoe through AC's unique neighborhoods with the help of ACPD Detectives Freely and Papelli, and AC City Prosecutor Kim Berkley. With FBI agents, dirty cops, and the Philly and New York Mobs all vying for control, Ian's task is delicate and perilous, as are the fates of his new allies. As a storm forms on the horizon, betrayal, intimidation and murder waft like a salty mist through this city by the sea.
