    “A well written, suspenseful, fast pasted murder mystery with the unique complication of a hurricane. I loved the vivid descriptions stimulating a sensory or emotional response…A strong, haunted, intelligent female protagonist who is reckless at times. Her partner is equally competent and supportive.”

    “I loved everything about this book! A car accident ended Ivy's career in the FBI. I loved her resilience! She returned home to recover. She had unresolved issues with her father and was haunted by her sister's disappearance. Ivy assisted the local police on a macabre case. The writing was exceptional!”

    Yoshon Santana ran Brownsville, Brooklyn, with an iron fist. When his fiancée fell ill, he stepped back and allowed his sister, Yolani, to step in his place. After the death of his fiancée, the streets didn’t do it for him. Allowing his sister to take over, he stepped back and watched from a distance. With a possible girlfriend, Yoshon just wants to find someone to love. At thirty-eight, he’s looking for a wife, kids and the white picket fence that surrounds his mansion. During one of New York’s infamous blizzards, he comes across a woman sleeping in her car with a little boy. That night alters his life, and he doesn’t even know it when he tries to offer his help to the beauty in the car.  
      
    Cars, mansions and money was what twenty-five-year-old Golden had become accustomed to. Until her husband, Grand, decided that she deserved a few black eyes to match the luxurious life he provided for her and their son. Packing up and disappearing, Golden finds herself back in her hometown waiting to reconnect with the grandmother she left many years ago. When things don’t go as planned, she finds herself working two jobs, washing up in public restrooms and sleeping in her 2004 Nissan Maxima with her seven-year-old son, Gyan.  
      
    Hazel is married to Yolani and loves her wife with everything. The one thing she hates is the disrespect and her undying loyalty to the streets. Hazel is tired of coming in second to Yolani and the streets. While running her nail shop, an old boyfriend from the past pops back into her life and shakes things up. Will Hazel backpedal to her ex? Or does she toughen up and fight for the woman she married?  
      
    Yolani stepped into her brother’s size thirteen Timberland boots and runs the streets the way she sees fit. With a nagging wife at home, a plethora of women at her fingertips, and more money than she knows what to do with, the last thing she’s thinking about is settling down or stepping back from the streets. With a secret she’s hiding, will the skeletons finally come barging out of the closet? Will Hazel deal with being married to a Brownsville Bully? Or will she walk away from the love of her life to receive the real love she deserves?

    In this beautifully crafted novel from the author of the critically-acclaimed Two Sisters, comes the story of a woman who retreats into a fantasy world on New York City’s Upper West Side as she slowly loses her once whip-smart husband to dementia—perfect for fans of Still Alice. 
    When life falls apart, a little fantasy goes a long way… 
    It started as a dream vacation in Spain, with Fay and Paul Agarra enjoying all the delights of a European holiday. A respected New York City judge, Paul has always been the man Fay can rely on, no matter what. When he inexplicably disappears from a Barcelona street corner, Fay knows something is terribly wrong. Once reunited, Paul shrugs off the episode as a simple misunderstanding—but Fay suspects her almost perfect life has taken a dark and sudden turn. 
    Soon there are more signs that Paul is beginning to change. Bouts of forgetfulness lead to mistakes in the courtroom. Simple tasks cause unexplainable outbursts of anger. Fay’s worst suspicions are realized when she learns her husband—her rock, her love, her everything—is succumbing to the ravages of dementia.   
    As her husband transforms before her very eyes, Fay copes with her fears by retreating into a fantasy life filled with promise instead of pain. In Fay’s invented world, she imagines herself living a glamorous life free from heartache, with a handsome neighbor she barely knows rescuing her from a future she can’t accept.   
    Poignant and beautifully crafted, Left is an unforgettable tale about life’s aching uncertainties—and a woman who discovers that somewhere between hope and reality, an unexpected future will find its way forward.
