  Email

  Heidi’s horrific accident burned over 53% of her body, claimed both her legs, and killed her best friend. Her year of countless surgeries, surviving, pain management, fighting, and loss is incomplete until she finally faces the driver, and Heidi realizes she has one last hurdle; forgiveness.

  

  Chris Baughman fears his case against Mario Davis, a sadistic pimp and former high school friend, is slipping away when the two brutalized victims are afraid to testify. Through countless hours, Chris fears a verdict that will offer no justice for the two young women. The tough lesson facing Chris is that justice sometimes offers a different kind of justice.

  

  By all rights, Father Joe Bradley should be dead. If past usage of beer, marijuana, and cocaine didn't do the trick, then certainly dilated cardiomyopathy should have.

  

  Moving memoir about unconditional love and blunt honesty that defines a new normal for Heart Couple, Brian & Patty O'Mara-Croft.

  

  Stirring memoir byf Ann Meyers Drysdale's and her winning attitude of achievement and happiness
