FICTION
A child with unique traits. A mystery older than human civilization.
… a secret worth killing for.
When undocumented children in the ICE detention center become sick from food poisoning, one little boy seems immune. Only nobody knows who he is or where he came from, and the boy isn't talking. A pharmaceutical company turns the child into a lab animal to crack the puzzle of his immunity and turn it into profit. The mystery deepens when the boy reads from a book that can’t be decoded for hundreds of years. Jenny Williams and Sonia Ruiz are determined to save the boy and travel to one of the most remote parts of the world to return him to his parents. They try to stay one step ahead of the thugs sent by the pharmaceutical company that wants the child back.

MEDIEVAL MUMMY FOUND WHERE IT DID NOT BELONG
FICTION
Mummified remains were found where they did not belong – inside a cave on the third-highest mountain on Earth. Dr. Jenny Williams agrees to assist in solving this puzzle. What starts as a scientific project turns out to be an ancient mystery, which takes Jenny from dangerous altitudes in the Himalayas to medieval England, and inside the Maya ruins in Mexico and Belize. Along the way, she has to fight a powerful adversary who pursues the same mystery but with his own agenda. She also finds loyal friends - a mountaineer from New Zealand, and a Chicana physician from LA. There is another player closely watching their progress - a mysterious group of men and women headquartered in the heart of a Basque country in Spain.
WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE?
NONFICTION
Each year, almost 700,000 American children are abused. Between four and seven kids die every single day as a result of abuse or neglect. Child protective services, paralyzed by bureaucracy and relying on underpaid and overworked personnel, often do not intervene in time. Foster parents, the unsung heroes of the system, fight a lonely battle which they frequently lose. Children are tortured, starved, imprisoned, trafficked, or pushed into the foster to prison pipeline.
This book will open your eyes and help you get involved.
WHAT HIDES BEHIND THE WALLS OF LONGWOOD?
NONFICTION
When Toby was little, his mom blew her brains out with a nine-millimeter while he was sitting on her lap. Mike spent his childhood locked inside a chicken coop on a farm in Illinois. Pablo was smuggled into the country from Mexico and dumped on the streets. Demetrius was kicked out of his house after he revealed to his family that he was gay. These boys had one thing in common: they were all neglected, abused, sometimes tormented. They were housed at Longwood because they had nowhere else to go. They were experts at being institutionalized. Many planned to commit a crime immediately after being discharged from Longwood and spend the rest of their lives in the safe confines of an adult prison. They would say it beats being hungry and homeless.
