From the Author
I've been a schoolteacher in the elementary grades, where students are supposed to learn reading and math. I've also done private tutoring, trying to figure out what was keeping a child from learning. This book came out of those experiences.
You will find all the characters from Turnagain Love, since I had so many requests to bring them back.
When I find anyone with dyslexic children, I send them to dyslexia.com, where they can find books, information and help. This site now includes help for those with autism. The story of Ron Davis, who went from autistic to being an engineer, to founding this program, should inspire all parents of children with learning problems. There is a way out. And you, as a parent, can help. We took our dyslexic kids out of school while we did the Ron Davis program with them. They are now back in school, at grade level, and amazing their teachers with their gift of dyslexia. Ron's books, including The Gift of Dyslexia, are available here in Amazon.
From the Inside Flap
The Sisters of Spirit series involves several young women who attended Virginia Tech around the same time. The group was started by Stormy and Jo and included mainly western girls. Jennel left the group to start her business before most of the others joined. Two of their friends, Mary and Alison, asked to be included.
Turnagain Love: Jennel's story. She has a small home-decorating company about to go under. Hired by the wife, she has traveled to Puget Sound from Boston. This job will pay her debts and give her a fresh start. Why does Zack, hired by the husband for the same job, insist that she leave Turnagain Island?
Closed Doors: Ellen's story. Hired by Jared to teach reading, she is pressured into doing office work. With no skills in that field, she wonders how soon she will destroy his business. The Turnagain Love characters show up in this book.
Stolen Secrets: Angie's story. Angie finds herself in the middle of a crime. Security expert Ryan wants her help, but he can't decide if he trusts her or not.
Courage Dares: Mary's story. You meet Mary in Stolen Secrets. "You have to face your dragons to defeat them." Mary's dragons are enormous, as she and Connor are kidnapped and must find a way to escape.
Songs for Perri: Perri's story. Perri travels to Mazatlan to help her step-father and finds intrigue and romance. Hugo knows someone must do the dirty jobs or the world would be a terrible place.
Tennessee Touch: Alison's story. Alison hates football so Logan doesn't tell her what he does. He flies in and out of her life, always a man of mystery.
Spirit of a Champion: Stormy's story. Stormy must stop a boxing match before her brother dies fighting Killer Kyle. She gets help from Hugo and her cousin, Perri.
Appaloosa Blues: Jo's story. Jo and Adam have to end the feud between her grandfather and Adam's family. A ranching story that takes place in the Blue Mountains of Northeastern Oregon.
