Happy February, everyone. I love the month of February. Two of my nieces have birthdays this month and mine is the last day of February. This year I turn the big 5-0. While I sometimes still think I’m 35, my body often tells me otherwise. I’m at that stage of life where I have to develop an escape plan for getting back up whenever I sit on the floor. 🙂

There are also a lot of books I’ve been looking forward to releasing this month from authors like Crystal Caudill, Jen Turano, Kimberly Duffy, Susan Sundin, and many, many more. So many good reads for this short little month!

About the Book

Popular podcaster and ex-reporter Faith Byrne has made a name for herself telling stories of greatness after tragedy–but her real life does not mirror the stories she tells. While her daughters spend the summer in Hawaii with her ex-husband and his new wife, she must manage life on her own. But all that changes when she’s asked to spotlight her childhood best friend’s missing person case on her podcast.

Dora Crane has never accepted that her younger daughter could be dead, keeping her home looking the same as when her daughter disappeared. But when her husband leaves her, and her older daughter intervenes, she agrees to counseling and to pack up her missing daughter’s belongings under one condition: Faith Byrne comes to Deep Valley and sheds light on the cold case.

As the investigation moves forward, the two women uncover desperate secrets, and Faith and Dora must face the long-hidden truth before they can begin to move forward.

Award-winning author Christina Suzann Nelson masterfully leads readers on a journey of discovery, healing, and friendship in this suspenseful and poignant tale.
