  A New York Times bestselling author and former Los Angeles Times reporter chronicles the marriage between a Christian woman and an ex-con that ends in murder. 
   
   
    
  When Carol Montecalvo began writing to a man in prison through a program at her church, she considered it her Christian duty. But the letters soon became her lifeline, something she actually looked forward to sending and receiving. She fell in love with the man behind the letters and just before Dan was released, they wed in the prison chapel. Their marriage lasted nine years, until the fateful night when Dan stoically called 911 to report his wife's murder. 
   
   
    
  With a half-million dollar insurance policy riding on his wife's death, and a string of adulterous affairs in his past, Dan is the most obvious suspect. But is this former felon really guilty? Or could he actually be a grieving widower, in the wrong place at the wrong time? 
   
   
    
  In this powerful true crime account of the gruesome murder and sensational trial that followed, New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury weaves an emotional story that leaves listeners guessing until the final, harrowing conclusion.

  My Walk With God

  "My Walk With God" by Timothy Trivett fearlessly records the rugged venture of struggle, where pain advances into every life, leaving no one untouched by its distinct states – be it physical suffering or the quiet, unseen ache of the soul. It points out the isolating essence of loneliness, where one can be surrounded by people yet feel utterly alone, and the disorienting sensation of being lost, walking through life without a clear direction. This book addresses the reality of human struggle. It acknowledges that no one is exempt from life's burdens. Yet, amidst this rawness, a way forward arises, a light, even in the shadiest of areas, as the author undergoes personal battles with addiction, the shattering loss of a brother, and the complications of a family in crisis. Ultimately, Trivett attests to the power of conviction. He depicts how living by faith is not a singular event but a constant, ongoing method. It is a daily choice to embrace 'God's law' over the momentary promises of the world. Moreover, it's a journey characterized by moments of surrender and the realization that redemption is always possible, even in brokenness.

  After serving as a US Marine during World War II and attending college on the GI Bill, Sam Keith decided to seek adventure in Alaska as a laborer on the Adak Navy base. There he befriended Dick Proenneke, whose shared love of the outdoors, hard work, and self-reliance quickly bonded an alliance between the two. Together they explored the wilds of South Central Alaska, while working on the Navy base, hunting and fishing with friends and breathing in the great outdoors. Keith was ready to leave after three years of finding almost everything he sought—not realizing then how his fate was intrinsically tied to his friend's and how it would lead to writing the bestselling book One Man's Wilderness. 
   
   
   
  Sam Keith passed away in 2003. But in 2013, his son-in-law and children's book author/illustrator Brian Lies discovered in an archive box in their garage a book manuscript, originally written in 1974 after the publication of One Man's Wilderness. First Wilderness is the story of Keith's own experiences, at times harrowing, funny, and fascinating. Along with the original manuscript are excerpts from his journals, letters, and notebooks, woven in to create a compelling and poignant memoir of search and discovery. Foreword by Nick Jans, one of Alaska's foremost authors and photographers, and afterword by Keith's daughter Laurel Lies.
