From internationally bestselling British author Susan Lewis comes an unflinching, thoroughly suspenseful novel—perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult—about the darkest secrets a family can hide. Alex Lake’s life is centered on helping people. Her job as a social worker in a British seaside town is more than a career: It’s the very essence of who she is. And though there are frustrations, Alex takes to heart the rewards of placing a child in a safe and loving home. But when she encounters three-year-old Ottilie Wade, Alex is completely unprepared for the effect the sweet, shy little girl has on her. Though on the surface Ottilie seems to want for nothing—she’s perfectly healthy and lives in a very nice home—she’s mysteriously silent and asocial. Alex knows that something is not right in the Wade house. And the deeper she looks into the case, the more Alex comes to feel that she and Ottilie are being drawn together by fate. As disturbing evidence mounts and Alex’s superiors seem unwilling to help, Alex knows she will have to risk everything—her job and the life she loves—to save Ottilie. But Alex will also have to wrestle the demons of her own past before she can secure a future for this child in need. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Susan Lewis's Don't Let Me Go.

When the remains of a young girl are found near the site of a foster child's kidnapping, two colleagues risk their lives to bring one home and find justice for the other. The day a colleague's eight-year-old foster child is kidnapped at a wedding reception, homicide detectives Deborah Smith and Alex Luna find the bones of a little girl not far from the abduction site. Both are determined to save the boy and solve a five-year-old murder, even as Deborah struggles to hang on to her newfound sobriety while Alex works to get a foothold in her life. The two detectives travel from the seamy underside of San Antonio's drug-dealing gang territory to the back roads of rural America where secrets fester in simple country homes. Their investigation rips off the bandage that covers the cracks in an overburdened, understaffed foster care system and reveals the painful reality that children are all too often battered, terrified victims of the people who should love them Deborah and Alex must risk everything--even their lives--to bring a little boy home safely and unmask a child's murderer. This fast-paced follow-up to Irvin's romantic suspense novel, A Deadly Wilderness, will keep readers turning the pages long after it's time to turn out the lights.

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view, this book on boundaries empowers a child to say no when others approach him or her in ways that make them uncomfortable. It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provide an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion, assisting the child in understanding and practicing body boundaries or further exploring if abuse has occurred. Through the use of this book, I have experienced families being able to openly discuss abuse together far the first time. Kayla's heart far children from hard places is infectious. Her vision far all children to know they are not alone is unfolding in this new book. She is a gifted writer who will continue to create works benefiting children. My Body's Mine was a missing piece of literature in abuse prevention and I am so thankful to Kayla far writing it! Jessica Kilpatrick, M.A., LPG, STARRY
