When the dam explodes, only a little girl who was never really there at all can save them. Grayson Addington comes home to Saddler Hollow, West Virginia, from Vietnam a broken man, ravaged by post-traumatic stress disorder, a chaplain who left his faith in the jungle mud with his massacred unit. In his absence, his wife, Piper, turned to his brother Carter for support. Now, she must choose between them—and Carter will stop at nothing to have her. Into this family torn apart by jealousy, greed, and clan loyalties comes a mysterious little girl. Maggie, a battered child with amnesia, shows up on the Addington's front porch and instantly bonds to Sadie, Piper, and Grayson’s cripplingly shy toddler. When Maggie runs away and takes Sadie with her, the warring brothers must team up to search for them. Then the real horror begins. Sadie is trapped in the rocks out of her father's reach beneath a dam about to explode. Grayson will have to stand there and watch her drown ... unless the child called Maggie is much more than she seems. From suspense author and former journalist Ninie Hammon comes this spellbinding story of ordinary people whose tangled lives are marked by the specter of an impending disaster, and haunted by the mystery of a magical child. If you enjoy rich, believable real-life characters, ever-tightening tension, and a breath-taking surprise ending--coupled with Hammon’s trademark dusting of “the unexplainable”, When Butterflies Cry will keep you turning pages far into the night.
Can Butterflies Cry? as written by Automatic Writing All of my books are written by automatic writing. As I have explained in my first book 'Sleep never comes for those that did not reach the other side' It was the beginning of an urge to fulfil an agreement, to tell the stories of the lost souls, to help them accept death and move on. This book also includes stories from my childhood experiences and how and where I was when I first encountered my spirit friends and what I have learned from being their interpreter. I asked my guide a long time ago 'Why do they come to me?' His answer was in simplicity 'They do not come to give you proof of life. They come for you to give them life after life' I am not the judge, just the storyteller.
June is physically and emotionally abused by her stepmother, and the only person June feels safe telling is her friend Blister, but when a shocking tragedy occurs June finds herself trapped, potentially forever.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com
When I lost my four-year-old granddaughter due to a car accident, my world came to a complete stop. My friends gave me books on grief, but nothing I read helped me, so I decided to write this book. It is raw and tells everything I went through, with no filter. I wanted to bring the process of grieving out into the open and not dance around topics that others don’t want to discuss, such as anger, severe depression, and thoughts of suicide. Grieving is a series of missteps, misinterpretations, and good intentions gone awry. This book is about not only grieving but also healing, which is sometimes just as difficult. Letting go of guilt and other burdens we sometimes carry can be daunting, but if we try really hard, we can find our way through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

But there is more than one way to trap an insect. An arranged marriage might turn out profitable for more parties than one. Mr. Hamilton is about to make the acquisition of a lifetime.

Remember the lyrics to an old Bee Gees tune called Tragedy? How about rearranging them slightly to When your pants fall down, flashing all of the town, its a tragedy! It is a tragic incident for Stella OBrien, who is new to town. Losing your trou down the catwalk wasnt part of her vision, if you know what Im saying. And speaking of visions, she didnt exactly visualise herself having to visit her mother in the local psychiatric hospital, Sunny Haven. Sunny Haven for the Stark Ravin is what her family jokingly called it. This is no joke; in fact, jokes and fun hadnt really been a big feature in Stellas life for a while now. Stellas mum gets diagnosed with the big D word, depression. But Stella thinks she knows what the real D word is: disappointment. Stella is into fashion and design (hence the trouser incident) and her mums into nature and saving the world. Stella sees the conflict, and she sets out to make her mum proud. The thing is, Stella doesnt do things by halves. What Stella has planned not only involves her and her best buddies but the whole community!
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ...As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:1, 4-5 NKJV Like the unhappy caterpillar in I AM A WORM ...Or Am I? we often try to change ourselves but fail. We can become downtrodden when we don’t see lasting results. It is only when we turn to God and put our trust in Him, that we experience true change. Follow along in this delightful allegory as the caterpillar meets a butterfly who offers hope for a new life. Drawn to a mysterious vineyard, he learns the challenging lessons of faith. The vinedresser tends the branches in this special vineyard and brings about glorious change, for an abundant harvest!

Before Oliza can try to mend the rift in Wyvern's Court, she is kidnapped by mercenaries, who take her deep into wolves' territory.

Sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, brings you the third book in The Knowing Saga, a sprawling tale of spiritual warfare that spans a quarter of a century. If you crave sleep-with-the-lights-on suspense coupled with characters so true they'll feel like family then, The Reckoning is right up your alley. Ordinary people. A demon from hell. The final showdown... In the summer of 1985, Daniel Burke, Becca Hawkins, and Jack Carpenter confronted a demon prince, an efreet, and somehow drove it back to hell. They were twelve years old. Twenty-six years later, the efreet returns and sends superhuman assassins to kill the now-adult “Three Muskateers” before they can challenge him again. Reconnecting for the first time in a quarter of a century, the childhood friends piece together fragmentary memories of that long-ago summer as they fight desperately to stay alive—and to stop the voracious quest for power of the man possessed by the efreet, Chapman Whitworth, Now comes the final confrontation. The only thing that stands between Whitworth and the presidency of the United States is a rag-tag group of ordinary people--Daniel, Becca, Jack, and their friends. This time, they have to go after the demon, not the man—and it doesn’t matter that none of them remembers how they defeated it the first time. They have to find the monster--hidden in a labyrinth of dark caves protected by legions of poisonous spiders and snakes. And they have to stand together against it. If any one of them breaks, they all will die. It has come down to this—one last chance. It’s time for the reckoning. The Knowing began the tale. The Deceiving expanded it. Now, The Reckoning delivers a heart-pounding continuation with a riveting account of the battle against an evil as old as the skeleton of the universe. ★★★★★ "Simply phenomenal. It's hard to nail the conclusion to a trilogy in a satisfying manner, but Ninie really knocked it out of the park." -- Steve Bochte ★★★★★ "What a ripping finale to the trilogy!! The author's wild imagination, coupled with brilliant word skills and dazzling descriptive abilities, present this work as a reading experience - not just a book. Suspense, action, horror, intrigue - it's all there, along with beautifully balanced and subtle humour when the occasion calls for it." -- M. Dusrston ★★★★★ "There are times during the reading of the book that I was so caught up in the story that I reacted physically with racing heart and sweating palms. At other times I consciously breathed a sigh of relief and appreciated the calm. It's possible to read any of the three books in this set alone and follow the story line. But don't cheat yourself, read The Knowing and The Deceiving before you jump off into The Reckoning. You won't regret it!" -- Phyllis W. ★★★★★ "LOVED IT....Again Ninie has not let me down. Before I read book 3 I re-read the first two again. I was expecting to rush thru those because of knowing what happened, NOT. I enjoyed reading them again and picked up some points I didn't see the first time. If you have not tried this author, you really must. Most of her books I would give 10 stars if I could. You rock Ninie!!!" -- D. Price ★★★★★ "This book is fairly fast paced which makes it hard to put down. The fact that the action keeps you turning pages, sometimes does cause me to get less sleep. Then when I finally read the last page, I am sorry that I read so quickly and that it is already over." -- Kaye If you like fast-paced action, gut-tying thrills and themes that will challenge everything you believe about yourself, life and reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe—The Reckoning is the book for you.
