It's psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex discovers that the mystery touches a shocking incident in his own past.

So when her new foster mother asks her to take a job reading aloud to Portia McKay, an elderly neighbor, Ophelia grudgingly agrees. At first Ophelia only goes because she gets paid. But as they get to know each other, Portia and Ophelia discover that they have much more in common than their Shakepearean names. They both have horrible secrets that they have never shared with another living soul. And it seems that this unlikely friendship may be just what they both need to break free of their emotional prisons. Anna Myers seamlessly blends contemporary and historical narratives as Opehlia's and Portia's tales unfold.

At least, that's what the police say. Sal has never believed kind Wulf, who tried to protect her from her mother's dark side, could have committed such a crime, but the evidence was irrefutable . . . and who else could have done it? Now an adult, with a good job as a Collison Investigation Officer, Sal's done her best to put the past behind her. But one snowy morning she's called to an accident scene, and she recognizes the body - Barry Ford, the man her mother left Wulf for, all those years ago. It soon becomes clear this wasn't just an accident - it was murder. And Wulf, now out of prison, lives very close by . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four-year-old girls dream of dolls, ice cream, and fun—but not four-year-old Joan Kelleher. Her only wish is to be with her family again. She longs for her mother’s embrace and enough food to eat and safety from the horrors of World War II. Torn from her home and placed with foster families forced to take in a child they do not want, is only the beginning of Joan’s struggle for survival. With unwavering hope in her heart for a reunion with her family, Joan recalls the five years she endured in the homes of strangers, battling abuse, cold dark rooms . . . and indifference, while sirens screamed and planes flew overhead. Creating a fantastical world of make-believe where she's reunited with her family is the only joy she finds. The reunion five years later isn't the joyful celebration Joan imagined. Her family is just as broken as the war-torn buildings surrounding them. They are a family of strangers. But within Joan, there remains that same unfaltering hope and optimism, just waiting to be fulfilled. When the Bough Breaks is a heartfelt memoir, encompassing the courage and strength that one young girl possesses in a time when everything seems shattered and lost.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman heralds the arrival of his thrilling new stand-alone novel, The Murderer’s Daughter, with this eBook original prequel short story—a powerful portrait of a young man seeking his destiny, who will ultimately play a key role in the life of an unforgettable new Kellerman heroine. It’s the summer of 1965, and Malcolm Bluestone, fresh out of Harvard and bound for law school, is taking a break—from the books and Brooklyn—to soak in the sun and sights of California. Free from his doting parents, he’s enjoying a whirlwind tour of his older brother Steve’s glamorous movie-star lifestyle. Yet all the excitement only seems to leave Malcolm feeling haunted by the sheltered, studious life he leads—and trapped by the secure but predictable future that awaits him. It is a future he has the power to change, if he’s brave enough to dare and wise enough, like his brother, to listen to his heart. But it will take a shocking incident on a movie set to finally spur Malcolm to action—and free him to walk the path he knows he was meant to.
