  An ex cop in a wheelchair, a med school drop out on crutches. 
  Not your standard PI duo. 
  After a hit-and-run car crash Caitlyn's life is put on hold. Her broken leg refuses to heal, and she is questioning her future career plans as a doctor. She realizes the only way forward is to find out what happened, who hit her and left her to die, and – most importantly - who was at fault. 
  She dust off her (very average) hacking skills, and enlists the help of Thomas Dean; a former-cop-turned-PI, and a permanent wheelchair user after a spinal cord injury. He hopes he still has what it takes to get the job done. 
  But what Caitlyn first shrugs off as paranoia, a daily reminder of the annoying post-crash nightmares, turns out to be a real threat. In their search for the perpetrator, they stumble on a bigger case than they had planned for. 
  If you like PI mysteries somewhere in between cozy and thriller with some humor mixed in, then this book is for you!

  At 44, New York divorcee, Mel, is not ready to give up on God or the possibility of motherhood. Between running an actors' agency in Hammersmith and rehearsing her role in a rock musical, she agrees to take care of her stepdaughter, Jess's challenging four-year-old son, Billy, two afternoons a week. Writing: Playing Billy's Mom on a strip of paper to place in her Gratitude jar, she prays that her good deed will have a pay off: her own fertility.
  Meanwhile, prepped with hormone tablets and injection at the ready, she awaits the return of charismatic Royce, who has been filming in Hollywood. But all is not well with Royce. A strange incident on Venice Beach after dark has shifted his world. Can he really be cursed? Desperate, Mel reaches out to her friend, Anto. He's gay but wants to be a parent. Thwarted again, will surrogacy be the answer? Will Mel be locked into taking on more responsibility for Billy as Jess spirals into depression following the loss of her father? Or can Mel make a life with the new man in her life, refugee Hassan, suffering from PTSD and raising his disabled eight-year-old son alone?
  Or will life take an unexpected turn? As Mel's faith moves towards Buddhism under Anto's influence and a friend steps in to help with a problem deeper than infertility that is gripping her life, will she be able to answer the call when an unlooked for opportunity presents itself?
  A deeply empathic, humane debut, Gratitude asks how we live now and how we make meaning in lives that rarely work to plan.
