ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"8th Confession," by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, plunges readers into the heart of San Francisco as a series of mysterious deaths among the city's elite shakes the community. The Women's Murder Club, led by Detective Lindsay Boxer, races against time to uncover the truth behind these seemingly unconnected deaths. The investigation leads them deep into a world of wealth, power, and hidden secrets, where danger lurks beneath a veneer of respectability. Cindy Thomas, a reporter and member of the club, becomes fixated on the murder of a homeless man known as Bagman Jesus, a case the police have deemed unsolvable. Her relentless pursuit of the truth intertwines with the club's main investigation as a disturbing pattern emerges, linking the present-day murders to a series of unsolved cases from 1982. As the body count rises and the pressure mounts, the Women's Murder Club faces a race against time to unmask a killer who operates with chilling precision and seems to be always one step ahead.

    “In this short story, you will see the tender heart of love and careful words of instruction of Mother. The law of kindness is on Mother’s tongue. She demonstrates watchful protection over Cammy and Sammy as she daily is in their presence. Parents can easily relate the mother’s heart, akin to the heart of Jesus as He is to His children. A wonderful and useful book. Had I had this book when my children were small, I certainly would have made use of it. I highly recommend this for all ages!” Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grand babies.“Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee’s hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children’s story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers.” Pastor Jeff Durbin- married father of four, sought after for his debate skills and also the main host of ApologiaRadio.com“Mara-lee has peeked into a child’s inquiring mind and has given solid answers to questions about how to hear and respond to God’s voice. Children will love the way Cammy’s Adventures introduces them to new experiences in their lives. This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom.” Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.

    Blame Not the Wind: A tragedy at...

    "Very occasionally a tragedy turns into a triumph. This wonderful, searing book is such a moment. Rush to read it & be thankful." – Miriam Margolyes 
Last night Ben phoned from Bermuda, collect as usual. I’d asked – though heaven knows why as we avoid soppy talk – if he still loved me.  
He had said, ‘Course I do.’ 
He would be home for a visit once the race was over. He could not say exactly when but would keep in touch. 
It is early June: the third day of June, to be precise, and a day I will never forget. Something feels wrong. Better get up. 
Shirley’s sixth sense was all too real: tragedy had struck Ben’s ship, Marques. 
The government announced that it was a ‘freak accident’. 
But something did not add up. 
On 2 June 1984 the British-registered tall ship Marques left Bermuda Harbour, cheered on by watching crowds. With other sailing vessels from across the world, the barque was heading for Halifax, Nova Scotia, having won the first leg of the internationally famous Tall Ships Race. As they sailed out to sea, there was not a cloud in the sky. But by midnight the weather had changed and the seas became violent. 
Just 80 miles from Bermuda, things took a turn for the worse – the ship lurched and water poured in through the wide-open hatches. In 40 seconds the Marques had vanished. Of the 28 people on board, 19 were lost: crew and passengers, hailing from Britain, Canada, the US and the Caribbean. Among the missing was Shirley Cooklin’s 18-year-old son Ben. 
Driven to seek answers, Shirley finds only dead ends and denials. She begins to wonder – what if this was not a freak accident caused by the wind? What if the tragedy was the result of a gross act of negligence? And why is the Thatcher government so interested in the incident? 
This is the riveting true story of one mother’s lifelong search for justice. 
In her memoir, Cooklin navigates the turbulent waters of maritime law and political history. Her quest for justice in the face of corruption and misconduct makes this autobiography a compelling addition to any non-fiction collection.
