The author addresses some delicate subjects and does it well. The gradual development of domestic abuse by the hero is frightening. He rationalizes, making excuses and blaming others including his wife. The heroine’s very poor self-esteem, her constant need to please everyone and the way she allows her spouse’s manhandling in the name of being a “good wife” were hard to read. In the end, she takes a stand, leaving him to face life without her. She demands that he, not his scapegoat, accept responsibility for his harming her. She will not allow him to finger point any longer. Even though he is consumed by fear, he strives to recompense. Honestly confessing all, with true remorse. His wife, NOT his mother rightfully takes place as his first priority. The characters are well developed and intriguing. While the storyline is compelling, it is definitely the darkest of the four in the series. I would encourage others to read the series in order, as opposed to reading Eddie’s Prize as a stand-alone. Well done.

This book is about a plane crash that had people from the year 2014 to 50 years to the future. When the plane was down the people that was not hurt helped the people that was. After they got they taken care of the co pilot asked for some people to go look for help. She asked four sets of two pairs of women to the four corners of the world. Lisa Anton was send out with Carla to find help and they ran into a farming community but all they wanted to is sell they to the mayor of the town down the road. Lisa does not know how to do anything but make cloths. Lisa does not know how to feel about being in the future with out the things she had in the year 2014. I will be buying more books from this author.
