1000 tulosta hakusanalla Maria Rachel Hooley
A collection of short stories that focus on the faultlines in the heart, and the unexpected stop-overs people make during journeys they never meant to take in the first place. From a teenager coming into adulthood without her mother to a young woman learning years after her father's death how much he really loved her, it's about the moments we learn that love is everything and life isn't permanent, no matter how desperately we want it to be so.

In October Breezes, Devin Abbott almost lost the one person who mattered most-Skye Williams. Following a rape and an abortion she'd never counted on, she'd believed suicide the only answer, yet Devin saved her, leaving them both struggling to make sense of a future that included Skye and Devin separating for college. Sometimes, however, the past refuses to leave.After college, the two return home to face fears time has only deepened. For Devin, that fear comes in the form of living without Skye, the one woman he's always loved. Skye yet feels the tremors of her abortion-tremors which have convinced her she's unlovable. Time and again, she rejects him, leaving them both hurt, but inasmuch as Skye cannot see beyond her choice and Devin cannot shake his fear, neither anticipates how the past will shape them and how much power love yet has.

Jordan ultimately keeps his promise and marries Alyssa. Nicole also returns to her life, not realizing that love left its mark, and it's not through with either of them.
The last person OSBI agent Ridge Matthews ever expected to walk into his life was Brecca Nunley, the only woman he couldn't shake. Now, not only is she back, she's his next case. It takes a lot to rile him up, but missing kids usually do it, especially when the kid in question is the five-year-old son he never knew he had to begin with. Now Ridge has to find his son and protect the woman he loves from a ruthless killer he put behind bars years ago. Oh yeah, he's also supposed to keep his heart and hands away from Brecca, but some things are destined to fail before they start.

Yet love is eternal. What began with a saving Elizabeth's life continues in healing Lev's spirit as he is forced to remember what he has lost at the risk of everything.Book 2 of the Sojourner Series
The poetry in The Deep End of Hope explores the idea of keeping faith when everything seems lost because even in the moments when grief is overwhelming, there is a transient beauty that changes the individual. It's universal and personal at the same time, and out of it springs a richer life touched by what matters most.Many of these poems have been published in various literary magazines across the nation.
