New in true crime: "Love Lies"
Nancy Cooper is missing. Her husband says she went for a jog and never came home … Hundreds search for the vivacious mother-of-two in and around her upscale neighborhood in Cary, North Carolina.
Days later, her body is discovered facedown in a ditch a few miles from her home. It appears she'd been snatched off a jogging trail and strangled. Yet, focus immediately falls on Nancy's smart, handsome, and athletic husband, Brad, because the couple has been embroiled in a heated, contentious divorce.
Although he steadfastly maintains his innocence, Nancy's family and close friends know in their hearts that he is guilty. Unwavering in their fight to take custody of Nancy's daughters away from a killer, the family is determined to expose Brad. What eventually transpires in this peaceful suburb will tear two families apart and reveal even more secrets and a trail of damning evidence that guarantees final justice.

Girls Gone Child
continues the journey I started in Smotherhood (Globe Pequot, 2007). It is about what happens when the diapers come off - you sell the stroller at the yard sale and the sippy cups are put in the trash. I call it "girl meets world."
We think parenting babies is hard, but in reality feeding, diapering and rocking are a whole lot easier than molding little minds. All of a sudden, we are faced with tiny human beings who are developing a sense of self and the world around them. As their parents, we are the chosen guides, yet without a GPS, Mapquest, or a handbook, we're supposed to steer them in the right direction. Ultimately, we want them to be productive, compassionate citizens who make us proud.
The question is how do we get there? Girls Gone Child is the hilarious, gut-wrenching, tender journey from the cradle to the classroom. It is less about raising children and more about them raising us - one joyful, painful baby step at a time.

But detectives refused to give up. They scoured the case files again and hit the streets, re-interviewing witnesses until they found a man fitting the description of the killer who had lived in Stephanie's neighborhood at the time of the murder. When he refused to give up a DNA sample, a heated cat and mouse game started with police. Evil Next Door: The Untold Story of a Killer Undone by DNA is the gripping story about how a team of aggressive detectives tracked down a suspected serial killer and found justice for an innocent young woman more than three years after her death. |
