Tell No One
Nora has no intention of leaving New York City or her thriving business. When her aunt dies and Nora inherits the three-story house on Ocracoke Island, she chooses to convert it into a bed and breakfast and hire a manager to run the place.
As renovations begin, Nora is quickly caught up in a web of conspiracies and inexplicable events. With the discovery of her ancestor’s ditty box and a logbook filled with ciphers, Nora is compelled to investigate her ancestor’s past and the secrets that have lain hidden inside the house’s walls for over three centuries. The more she uncovers, the more Nora begins to suspect her aunt’s death might not have been a simple accident but something far more sinister.
Hope for Joshua
Nothing could prepare Abby and Martin Raynes for the brutal shock of hearing the word ‘autism’ in conjunction with their son. In one fell swoop, their hopes and dreams are shattered into a thousand tiny fragments. What was once just a word in the dictionary becomes a living, breathing part of their lives.
As she desperately seeks help for her son, Abby battles her own fears and dwindling hopes for her child’s future. Then one day, while playing at the park, a black Labrador approaches Joshua and Abby. Joshua and the stray develop an instant connection. Despite her own aversion to dogs, Abby can’t bring herself to leave the emaciated dog behind. Reluctantly, she brings the dog home, hoping to reunite it with its owner or find her a good home. But it soon becomes apparent the dog’s bond with Joshua is anything but ordinary. Is it just wishful thinking, or has the dog succeeded in breaking through the walls of Joshua’s autism?
Hope for Joshua delves into the emotional and physical turmoil of raising a child on the autism spectrum. Although this book is a work of fiction, it is based on countless true stories of non-verbal individuals on the autism spectrum who found their voice through interactions with an animal. It raises awareness to the realities of autism and introduces readers to the benefits often derived from interaction with dogs, especially those trained as autism service dogs.
Miracle Moments
When Shawn Abell founded Dog’s Nation, her purpose was to save dogs and train them as service dogs for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder or veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In pairing these dogs with individuals with special needs, Dog’s Nation ultimately saves two lives instead of just one.
Miracle Moments offers readers the opportunity to meet some of the special animals Dog’s Nation has rescued. There’s Jack who gently coaxed a veteran with PTSD out of the darkness where he’d been living for so long; Max, a scruffy little terrier who brought emotional healing to a girl with autism; Amy, a terrier-mix who averted a near-drowning; Charm, a golden retriever who gave an autism family a new lease on life; and so many more true stories that will inspire and warm your heart.
