Kept is a memoir that recounts the defining moments in my journey from life in a middle-class African-American family tightly bound by duty and God to a life of prostitution, drugs, and crime, and ultimately to the life I lead now- defined by faith, community, and family. It's a journey that stretches from California through Arizona and Texas and on to Memphis. This is not just another story about a woman who loses her way and finds redemption in the end. Even in cheap hotels, dens of drug lords, and prison cells, I always spoke to God. My faith sustained me, as did my love for the man who traveled this broken path along with me. That love despite extraordinary obstacles, became the foundation for the rest of my life.

When Appahummie Dotts enters the Cook County Jail, his guilt or innocence is irrelevant to staying alive amid all the violence and chaos headed his way. As an eighteen-year-old, he can hardly believe that he’s in the belly of the beast with grown seasoned criminals- most of them without anything to lose. He weighs 130 pounds soaking wet, but he knows how to protect himself and is smart enough to mind his business. In this dramatized account, the author looks back on how he found himself in the Cook County Jail among killers, robbers, rapists, and drug dealers from all walks of life. He also reveals what it’s like to be in the Cook County Jail fighting for your life. Moreover, he shares the frustration of being in the Cook County Jail, recalling how some days he asked the Lord for strength and if the days would ever change. Each one seemed more miserable than the next, making it that much harder to keep going on.

In the days after God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden, His fairies, Faith, Hope, Serenity, Passion, and little Curiosity, were concerned about Him being sad and lonely. Upon meeting The Creator in the Garden's morning mist, the fairies asked if they could help find new friends for Him. God chuckled at the fairies' concern and offered an alternative. "Would you like to find people to build a storehouse in which I can keep all My unclaimed gifts and blessings?" The fairies' search takes them to the Florida wilderness. Their only caveat: they may not change the course of history and God alone controls life and death. In 1872, three young Christian men, John, Leo, and Jake, each leave their homes in search of new lives. Together they cut out a rustic community from the uncharted territory of Florida. With their strong faith in God, each other's support, and a second-hand sawmill, these men built a community and a storehouse, later known as The Warehouse. How did they accomplish this monumental task? What hardships did they face? What did God have in store for these men? How would God's plan affect a great-great-granddaughter more than a century later?

Fall in love all over again with this delightfully sexy bundle of New York Times bestselling author Susan Donovan novels, including The Kept Woman, Knock Me Off My Feet, and He Loves Lucy. The Kept Woman Down on her luck Samantha Monroe is dealing with an AWOL ex-husband, maxed out credit cards, and the task of raising three children on a hairstylist's salary. It's time for a new game plan. When Sam learns that politician Jack Tolliver needs someone to play the part of his fiancée for six months in return for a generous paycheck, she's ready to sign up on the spot. Jack needs Sam and her kids to help tone down his image from womanizing cad to dependable dad. But he was expecting Sam to be a frumpy single mom, not a wickedly smart, sexy redhead. Keeping nosey newshounds from discovering that his engagement is a charade is going to be a tough job, but with the sparks flying between them, and their nights getting hotter, maybe their game of make-believe is about to spill over into real life... Knock Me Off My Feet Autumn Adams has always been an independent woman, but when a dangerous man begins to stalk her, she's out to find a little protection of her own. And when that protection comes in the form of the smoldering, handsome detective Stacey Quinn, he brings a very different kind of danger into her life...and her heart... Quinn soon discovers that protecting Audie is the craziest, hottest, and sexiest bit of detective work he's ever had the pleasure of doing. And even though he knows he is here to protect her, he's also ready to have her...forever... He Loves Lucy Marketing exec Lucy Cunningham is thrilled when her firm lands The Palm Club account. The campaign concept for Miami's hottest fitness club was Lucy's idea: take one fitness-challenged woman, put her in front of TV cameras, and into the hands of the club's top personal trainer, Theo Redmond. It seems like a brilliant idea-until Lucy gets picked to be the guinea pig. It's stressful enough she has to put down the pizza and start the Pilates - and when she meets Theo in person, she's a whole different kind of bothered... Theo has never met a woman quite like Lucy. Smart-mouthed and stubborn, it's clear she isn't fond of marching to anyone's drumbeat but her own. It isn't long before the simmering tension between them bursts into flames, and Theo learns that when it comes to love and desire, the last thing that matters is size...

One woman’s memoir of getting a cancer diagnosis at age thirty-two—and how rediscovering her faith in God carried her through to a second chance at life. A breast cancer diagnosis at age thirty-two left Maimah Karmo’s world shattered. She was the survivor of civil unrest in Liberia, a college-educated corporate professional, and a dedicated mother to her daughter—breast cancer was not part of the plan. How could this happen? With the help of family and friends, Maimah uncovered her own strength, rediscovered her faith in God, and navigated a completely foreign medical world. Through this struggle to reclaim her body and her soul, she learned what was truly important in life—and she didn’t stop there. During recovery, Maimah took a leap of faith and founded the Tigerlily Foundation, an organization that supports young women before, during, and after breast cancer. She had lived through her own journey; now she wanted to help others do the same. This inspiring account covers Maimah’s journey through an exceptional childhood to her experience with cancer that would change her life forever. It is not only a story of love and determination, but also of what can happen when you are given a second chance at life. Fearless illustrates that even when a situation appears to be impossible, true faith—in yourself, in God, and in those you love—will lead you toward the life you always wanted, the life you have a reason to fight for.

When a terrible tragedy drives Angela Johnson from her beloved hometown of New Orleans, her life is flipped upside down. With her best friend missing and her family scattered to the four winds, Angela has to make a new life for herself in a strange city, alone and with little more than the clothes on her back. Alone, that is, until she meets Danny Armstrong, a single father to a beautiful little girl, and a man who lives a lifestyle she can’t fully understand. He is everything Angela could want, but with all the turmoil in her life, Angela doesn't know if she can commit to a relationship. Before she can move on, Angela must come to terms with all she has lost, deal with a secret her mother and father has kept hidden for more than two decades, and learn to trust both herself and the man she loves. Finding it difficult to cope with all she’s lost, Angela struggles to find her place to fit into a city that is nothing compared to where she’s from. With an everyday struggle to maintain her sanity in the midst of her own sorrow, Angela insists on surviving. Although alone, she’s determined to make the best out of the tragic situation by meeting some new friends along the way, who inspires her to never give up looking. Torn between her emotions, Angela starts to face the dreadful realism that has impaired her for months, as she revisits the tragic scene on that awful night in July in search of the truth. Seeking to discover the truth behind the secret her parents kept for so long, Angela confronts the one person she never thought she’d ever see alive again during her visit for answers.
