The Twelfth Juror by Alexandra Swann and Joyce Swann

But her perfect world is shattered when one night, while she is working late, she is brutally beaten and raped by a stranger. Afraid and ashamed, she refuses to admit what has happened to her, but she cannot forget her terrifying ordeal, and shortly afterward she illegally buys a handgun to protect herself. A few months later Megan is attacked again, but this time she is armed and ready. She shoots her assailant and flees the scene before the police arrive and discover the body. She never tells anyone that she owns a gun, or that she has killed a man, but her professional and private life begins to unravel as she struggles to gain control of the fear and guilt from which she cannot free herself. When events beyond her control leave her financially destitute and emotionally drained, she returns to parents' home in Buffalo to start over. This page turning story of loss and redemption will leave the reader guessing to the very end.
The Quest For Forgiveness by J.L.Rothdiener
Christian Fiction
Singer-songwriter Briana Bays rose from obscurity to the center spotlight. She had everything... fame, talent, beauty, and one of the most successful music careers in history. The world was her stage, but the screaming adulation of her fans could not fill the hole in her heart. Her past was shrouded in shadows, some of her own making, and some of which she was trying desperately to pierce.
No amount of success could bring her the one thing she needed most... forgiveness...
Non Fiction:
21 Prayers for Teen Girls by Shelley Hitz and Heather Hart
Prayer is something that we hear Christians talking about all the time - but when it comes to actually talking to God, we often don't know what to say.
Written specifically for teen girls, the prayers in this book are the prayers of our hearts. You can pray them or use them for inspiration for prayers of your own. You can pray about anything and everything - God is always listening. We encourage you to pray along and make a habit out of praying for God to mold you into the woman He created you to be.

These timeless pieces, written by someone who went from the life of an active and involved woman to a near invalid within just a few weeks, speak to the heart of anyone who feels like they've’ve been put on the shelf and possibly forgotten.

25 Days 'Til Christ by Paula Whidden
An Advent Devotional for the Family
For those families who desire to keep Christ at the center of Christmas, it takes effort but that doesn't mean it cannot be fun.
Couple Corners by Paula Whidden
52 Faithful Choices for a More Joy-Filled Marriage
Recall that moment on a road trip with your spouse, when you reach a corner and one of you calls out, “Turn left.” The other shakes his head and says, “No, it’s right.”
If you were in separate vehicles, you would part ways and check out your own destination. This is a couple corner.
As you read this book, you will discover 52 uniquely different corners we encounter as couples. You'll begin as if you were taking a drive. The easiest corners start in first gear. Truly brave and daring couples will progress all the way to the final choices. When you do, you’ll be speeding down the highway of marriage in fifth gear, which moves you forward the fastest, but also contains the biggest risks.
Where Life Meets Faith by Kimberley Payne
