<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just weeks before my book was
ready to go into printing - this book was published! What a scramble<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I had thinking up a new title
for my book which I also originally titled <u>Escape</u>. I certainly didn’t want two books
with the same title coming out at the same time! Changing my book cover title, interior pages, all the legals
entailed and marketing - a host of time-consuming and expensive alterations had
to be made. “He who snoozes,
loses!” - it’s true; and that’s
the reason the title of my book became known as <b><u>Escaping Danger</u>.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I decided to read Carolyn’s
story this summer. It was truly an interesting account of a young girl’s life
at 14 years of age as the chosen wife of an older man with many other wives and
children. Outward appearances of
matrimonial content and reported family harmony in the FLDS were clearly
disputed by this brave author in her flight for basic freedoms. Reports of the shocking mental and
physical abuses committed by despicable, tyrannical leaders within this radical
ousted FLDS religious group are appalling! Upcoming ... The trial in Utah
of its leader Warren Jeffs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b><u>The Road to Wealth</u>
- Suze Orman</b></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Every woman’s authority on
how to improve their life now and for a comfortable tomorrow by learning how to
manage their money. Straight from
the cuff advice, easily understandable.
I love Suze! How I wish I
had known about her simple concepts and been told these explanations decades
ago - I’d be so much better off! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b><u>The Witness</u></b></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> - <b>Sandra Brown</b></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The heroine of this story is
a public defender in a Southern state.
She accidentally finds her husband and father-in-law are leaders of an
insidiously evil racist group that includes the mayor, business owners and even
the police chief! Unable to trust
anyone, she places her life and that of her baby in the hands of an FBI agent
and witness protection program in her attempt to evade the town’s desperate search for her in their
attempt to hide heinous secrets.
Will she be able to testify in a federal court against local politicians
and police? A real nail biter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Judge and Jury </u></b>- <b>James Patterson & Andrew Gross<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Having been engrossed for a
month in the Casey Anthony trial, I felt the need to extend that experience with
a legal thriller by my favorite mystery writer, James Patterson. The heroine is a juror in the trial of
a notorious Mafia Don.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">His ruthlessness and power
threatens every juror, witness and even the judge. With the FBI’s evidence, conviction seems to be a sure
thing. Or is it? I’m not spoiling the end to this ‘must
read’ novel that will keep you turning pages!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">With the many pressures
and problems we all face it’s good to take a moment out for a good belly
laugh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

With clever voice interpretations for Silas, Godfrey, Mrs. Winthrop and Eppy, all are once again alive in my bedroom! Silas, a strange old man, gloomily faces a lonely life suffering the loss of his horded gold. Mrs. Winthrop a delightfully straight-spoken neighbor is full of wisdom and advice for Silas as he reluctantly raises an orphaned baby girl left in his cottage. Eppy grows to be a beautiful young lady inheriting a vast fortune from her real father, with a loving disposition for her simple upbringing and kind Silas.

Twice a month I was allowed to make this excursion alone with severe motherly warnings to “return within a couple of hours or else!” I always rushed home, anxious to start reading the new book. Before graduating from TR, I had the entire collection of Carolyn Keene’s books.
