This is the true story of 2 unlikely friends, a business woman and a struggling 11 year old boy. She decides to help him and hopes to change his life but in the end both of their lifes are made so much better by knowing each other. “A straightforward tale of kindness and paying it forward in 1980s New York….an uplifting reminder that small gestures matter” (Kirkus Reviews).

Mystery/Horror F HEN

Cheyenne is blind and lying in the backseat of her stepmom's car sick with pnuemonia when the car is stolen. She is held captive for ransom since her dad is the President of the Nike Corporation.

This book was action packed and so easy to read because I didn't want to put it down! The best part is that it has a sequel that I am currently reading that is just as good!!

Morgan’s boyfriend tragically dies in a hit and run accident. Months later, she goes to post a tribute to him on social media and the facial recognition software tags him as someone else. After looking at the tagged person’s account, she realizes that it is her boyfriend alive and well living a completely different life. She investigates only to find there is much more to the story than she could ever imagine. With danger lurking around every corner and a love story built in, this book is one of my top picks!
