The nearby village hides as many secrets as the community at the farm, a disparate group of people looking for an alternative to their previous torturous lives.

Is it part of the tangled web that connects the farm to the village?

“What does a boy do when things go bad at home? Who does he tell when things grow worse? Leeland didn't tell anyone--or did he? BLIND EYE tells the story of Leeland's life on a remote ranch in New Mexico. No one paid attention to what he couldn't say. Would you have listened?” — Candace Simar, Spur Award-winning author of The Abercrombie Trail Series --- At the Bounty Canyon Ranch in Southeastern New Mexico, the bodies of Luke and Deona Pruitt are buried in a manure pit and their 14-year-old son Leeland Pruitt is missing. Deputy Sheriff Greenwood is called out to investigate the missing Pruitt family and discovers the grim scene. Leeland’s brutal upbringing was an open secret overlooked by neighbors and teachers for years. The community turned a blind eye as Leeland was moved by his cruel father from one remote ranch to another. And so, Deputy Greenwood begins a twenty-four-hour hunt to find and save the boy suspected of murdering his parents. Blind Eye is both a tragedy and a dilemma of moral conscience. In this tale of cultural complicity, the community, at best, looked the other way and, at worst, enabled abuse, leaving us all to ask, ‘What is too much to ask of a boy?’Ver livro

No one has been able to understand Old Zeke's final words, but Bass creates a program that can decipher them. Old Zeke wants his son's murderer caught and brought to justice.

Once she learns the truth of her son's murder, she dives into the case completely. With the help of Old Zeke's million-dollar insurance settlement offered as a reward, Gran and Bass begin gathering old clues. They soon find themselves confronting gangs, the KKK, family members who want more than a small piece of the money, and all sorts of characters comfortable with casual killing. In this world far from Innocence, Gran Olson will have to use all of her common sense and her faith to find the murderer and get herself and Bass out alive.Ver livro
As a Nazi invasion looms, eight men in Czechoslovakia prepare to resist, in this powerful novella by the New York Times–bestselling author. Hitler’s forces are about to close in, but a small group of men is determined to take a stand against the German aggressors.

This suspenseful story follows the men’s thoughts, memories, and emotions as they await the inevitable—and steel themselves for a battle that may be the last they ever fight. Originally published decades after Taylor Caldwell’s death, this is a deeply moving portrait of those who resist tyrants, and of the distinction between a military victory and a moral one. “A wonderful storyteller.” —A.
