Shades Of Truth

The penultimate book in the Carly Moore Series For six months, Carly Moore has been trying to bring down the town patriarch, Bart Drummond. Everyone knows he’s behind a “favor” system that has often ended in murder, but no one has ever been able to prove it. Until now. Carly has a lead that might crack the case wide open but her investigation comes to a screeching halt when someone close to her is killed. Now her only goal is to bring the killer to justice. But the more she digs, the more she can’t help but wonder if the murder is the handiwork of Bart Drummond after all…

Sadie is a strong, extroverted 12-year-old who sees the move from Menlo Park, CA to Eagle’s Nest, MI as a grand adventure. In this new place, she can be whoever she wants to be. She has a strong relationship with her fun-loving dad, and together they work hard to help her mom, who is emotionally fragile. They both hope that this new place will be a fresh start for Sadie’s mom. Quickly Sadie learns she is not welcome in Eagle’s Nest. Her father, a mediator called in by the DNR, is tasked with creating compromise between the hunters in the community who think the bears are a nuisance and should be shot, and the scientist who is studying the bears. Sadie has never been on the outside and isn’t sure what to do with the hostile treatment from many of the kids at school. She connects with one girl at school, which helps, and also starts to befriend the (good-looking) son of the scientist. Sadie also meets a local artist, who recognizes Sadie’s talent and offers her art lessons. As Sadie learns to draw, she starts to see her community in a new way. Her art teacher takes her to Compline (evening prayers) and Sadie is drawn in by the mystery of it all. She starts asking questions about what she believes, both in terms of faith, and in terms of the issues in her community. When her father doesn’t stand up to the hunters in the way she thinks he should, she questions his values. The focus of this first book is on Sadie stumbling into questions of faith, wrestling with them, and becoming more comfortable in the space of not knowing all the answers.

"He didn't drop the gun," Noonan said calmly, as if killing a man was as routine as remembering to set the alarm before you left the house. Finding a corrupt, manipulative politician beneath a charming exterior is nothing unusual. Unraveling the connection to a twenty year old suicide and linking him to a string of present day bodies is another matter. Police Detective Bev Henderson of Verde Key, Florida doesn't care that rising star State Senator Warren Randall belongs to a wealthy and powerful family. What she does care about is a missing woman, a dead accountant and people who think they can paint the truth in shades other than black and white.

But Kim Corbett won't tell Ethan anything—even when she's threatened and attacked. When Ethan discovers what Kim is protecting, his guarded heart opens just a bit wider. Enough to make this the most dangerous assignment of his career.

The 2014 Lok Sabha elections saw a tectonic shift in public sentiment. The people of India seemed to have embraced the winds of change and the new language of governance in anticipation of 'Achhe Din'.

50 Shades of Truth is my real-life testimony of how quickly my marriage had fallen apart, and how within a blink of the eye, drugs and sexual dysfunction had taken over my identity. There were seasons of my life where I experienced love and loss, drugs and anger, sex and bi-sexuality, abandonment and betrayal. But then . . . God!God brought about the most beautiful season of all. He continued to love me when I could not love myself. He loved me back to life, and graciously spent time teaching me His plan-His perfect will for my life. The restoration of my marriage, the healing of my family, and freedom from sexual impurities, drugs, and alcohol are just the tip of the iceberg. Join me as I expose the Enemy's plan, and the lies he spreads, so that we can confront sexual sin in love. My prayer is that you find hope in knowing what Jesus did for me. He can, and will do the same for you. That by knowing the ways Satan is using the media to influence our children and loved ones (maybe even ourselves) toward sexual impurity, we can look for them, work to avoid them, and when encountered, stand against them.
