Footprints in the Dust
Summary
The word “refugee” sparks conversation and fuels emotion. There are more than 22 million refugees worldwide and another 65 million who have been forcibly displaced. But who are these people? Images filter into our consciousness via dramatic photographs - but these photos only offer a glimpse into their stories. As a young ER nurse in Boston, Roberta Gately was stopped cold by stark images of big-bellied babies with empty haunting stares in the news. She called the aid organization featured in the news story, and, within two months, she had become a humanitarian aid worker. Soon she learned that the world into which millions of children around the globe are born is fraught with unspeakable horrors. The only certainties for so many of these children are disease and devastating injury. Footprints in the Dust aims to share the real stories of these refugees in hopes of revealing the truth about their experience.

Dead Girl Walking
Summary
"911. What’s your emergency?" “He came for her. She’s been shot,” says a desperate voice as footsteps echo down an alley. “She’s dying.” “Oh no, oh no, he’s coming back. Please, come quickly - ” And then a click, and the drone of a dial tone. The beautiful young woman on the stretcher could be on her honeymoon. Chestnut hair tumbles around a pretty face, rose petals tangled in the loose strands. But the bandage around her forehead tells a different tale, as emergency room nurse Jessie Novak desperately battles to keep her alive. Jessie’s thoughts are racing - who shot this beautiful young woman and, more importantly, why? Ann Hart’s life hangs by a thread, and Jessie cannot bear to see this beautiful young woman die without justice being done. Being a nurse is like hunting for clues, and Jessie is sure she can find the person who hurt Ann. She also asks her friend Detective Sam Dallas for help digging into Ann’s past. But then Jessie receives a gift that sends shivers up her spine: a huge bouquet of blood-red roses, just like the ones in Ann’s hair.... As the first snowflakes start to fall, another body turns up. Jessie is sure that she’s in danger, too - since the roses, someone has been watching her.... Sam is reluctant to see the link, but Jessie knows she must find the culprit before he strikes again. He is stalking her through the frozen streets, and he doesn’t want his fun to stop. Can Jessie turn the tables on the killer, or is she just a dead girl walking? A totally addictive mystery that will leave you gasping for breath and have your heart thumping! Fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen, and Tess Gerritsen will be completely hooked.
