Running from her past, Kat finds a beautiful rural small town by a wooded lake to hide. But her hopes for peace and calm are disrupted by a murder. While Kat struggles with her fears; the townsfolk struggle with who could have killed Miss Lucy, the favorite reading volunteer? Surely the two are not connected or are they.

A book to be read to children by counselors, parents, and educators. It is designed to introduce adults and children in a fun way with puppets representing parts of the brain and heart. The characters explain what they do and how they work together. The heart offers a technique to help children learn how to shift from stress to calm.

These healing stories of children's struggles with traumatic experiences are brought to life through the characters of a little brown bear, two sisters and a brother, an adopted baby girl and a fire breathing dragon. The illustrations are designed to color so children can make these stories their own.
