"She told them to look for little signs, like dimes on a sidewalk, to know they were not alone."Following the death of her husband, Robyn Lane finds herself stuck in the transition from "we" to "me." Navigating as one in a world built for two proves troublesome as she discovers just how deeply and lovingly her identity is tied to Mark, now departed.Compounding the difficulty are the recent losses of both her father and brother, driving Robyn to begin a desperate search for meaning, comfort, sanity, and sense in a world that seems to have none.Her quest leads us through a powerful session with a horse therapist, a treasure hunt for the secret ingredient to her grandmother's best recipe, even a bet to make a humorless junkyard caretaker smile--all while offering sensitive and intelligent insight from a woman who learns about how letting go can also lead to awakening, discovery, and ultimately, renewal.
From a dazzling new voice in fantasy comes a mesmerizing tale of treachery, passion, intrigue, betrayal, and an act of pure vengeance that threatens to bring down a kingdom. Seething with decadent appetites unchecked by law or gods, the court of Antyre is ruled by the last of a dissolute aristocracy. But now to the kingdom comes a handsome, enigmatic nobleman, Maledicte, whose perfect manners, enchanting charisma, and brilliant swordplay entice the most jaded tastes . . . and conceal a hunger beyond reckoning. For Maledicte is actually a woman named Miranda--a beautiful thief raised in the city's vicious slums. And she will do anything-even promise her soul to Black-Winged Ani, the most merciless of Antyre's exiled gods--to reclaim Janus, the lover whose passion still haunts her dreams. As her machinations strike at the heart of Antyre's powerful noble houses, Miranda must battle not only her own growing bloodlust, but also her lover's newly kindled and ruthless ambitions. As Ani's force grows insatiable and out of control, Miranda has no choice but to wield a weapon that may set her free . . . or forever doom her and everything she holds dear.

The product of a broken home, Robine T. Lane never wanted his own children to go through the hardships he went through as a child. Raised by their single mother, Lane and his siblings navigate the rough terrain of Trinity Gardens, a housing project on Houston's north side, without the benefit of a father. But as he grows, and despite the pressure of poverty and crime, Lane succeeds in school, vows to become a police officer, and enrolls in the military to support his goals. Soon after he marries, he and his wife set out to build the life that Lane always dreamed of as a child. Lane's marriage, however, causes great difficulty and trauma-and ultimately he is left to raise his three children alone. Though he tried desperately to avoid his mother's fate, history has repeated itself and placed Lane right at the heart of another broken family. And this time, he's the single parent. An inspiring tale of one man's determination to pick himself up and carry on for the sake of his children, From Trials to Triumph: A Single Father Story is a celebration of the strength found in faith, family, and love.
