All That We Carried

Estranged sisters embark on a hiking trip on the tenth anniversary of their parents' deaths in an attempt to reconnect.

 Face Down in the Rising Sunby K.D. Allbaugh
Clara Olson was a small-town girl who longed for more than growing up on a farm. She aspired to see the world and experience the thrills of the Roaring Twenties. A fated meeting with Erdman Olson who lived in the underground world of speakeasies and bootlegging would change that forever. What happened next would shock the world and leave her family searching for answers.

Standing Tall
by Debora De Farias
Although she amazed her country as the first woman to become a doctor, Cecilia is haunted by dreams. She believes she left those past traumas behind, but when Destiny brings her first love back to her life, she wants closure. Will she look for a revenge, ignore the emotional battles, or have the courage to learn who she truly is besides an exceptional physician?
For more information, please visit Debora's website.
