DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs her recent memories fade, Mary lives increasingly in the past — returning to the secrets of her turbulent interracial love story. Coming to terms with advancing dementia, Mary has no choice other than to move into her daughter’s home. Her daughter, Kayla, caught between her cognitively impaired mother and her belligerent teenage son, soon finds caregiving is more challenging than she imagined. Sage, the family’s golden retriever, offers comfort and unconditional love, but she has her own problems, especially when it comes to dealing with Mary’s cat. Throughout it all, Mary struggles to complete her final book — a memoir, the untold story of the love of her life, who died more than forty years earlier. Her confused and tangled tales span Trinidad, England, and Canada, revealing the secrets of a tragic interracial love story in the 1960s and ’70s. But with her writing skills slipping away, it’s a race against time. Heartwarming, funny, and hopeful, Gone but Still Here is an honest, open look at the struggles of one family as they journey into the unknown.

Bailey, #1 bestselling author of Woman on the Edge) featuring a private investigator who is on the hunt for two missing persons but finds herself being hunted instead. Malcolm is gone. Disappeared.

Everyone who knew the perfect couple sees Malcolm as the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, but Clare is certain there’s something darker at play. Something that has to do with Zoe’s family business and the murder of her father years ago. As Clare pulls back the layers, she discovers secrets the entire community is desperately trying to hide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChildren who grow up without fathers have long been the public subject of pity, scorn and derision due to factors beyond their control. Similarly, single mothers are often demonized or lumped into a monolithic group that rarely takes into account the individual circumstances that led to their single parent status. It's true that in a perfect world, all children would be born to a mother and father who are bound together for life; and who both make meeting their children's needs a central relationship goal. But we don't live in a perfect world. As such, this book serves a few purposes. First, it is for those children who, for one reason or another, do not live with both parents under one roof; namely, their fathers. Second, this book is also for those mothers who choose to take on the full responsibility to raise these precious young souls WITHOUT badmouthing the father who has chosen not to be in their child's life. This book helps those moms who struggle to provide an honest and child-affirming answer to the question most of these children eventually ask: "Where's my daddy?" Thirdly, this book is particularly directed to mothers and children in households of faith, who believe in the concept of God as the loving Father of humanity.
