Every parent’s worst nightmare
What would you do?
What if you tiptoed in to pick up your child and the crib was empty. An open window. A slashed screen. A hospital smell.
Would you scream? Cry? Call the police?
Mandy Rose did all that then she ran. Ran all the way across the country. The pain was that bad. But the pain of not knowing the truth was worse.
Returning to Louisiana was a mixed blessing. Mandy’s father wasn’t thrilled to see her. She discovered her baby’s daddy was now her younger sister’s lover. Her still married mother was dating the mild-mannered cop on the kidnapping case. Then, a dead baby upped the ante. They teamed together to investigate. It’s the early 80s, so no cell phones.
Can they find out who took Hannah and why?

The saga continues with The Search for Hannah.
Gripping, unputdownable, packed with twists and turns you never see coming. This sleep-depriving psychological thriller will make you wonder if you truly know anyone; including those you hold dearest. Shockingly, even your own family.
What Does it Take to Shatter a Father’s Dreams?
Mandy Rose…vulnerable, scared, clearly in big trouble. No match for the men who would do her harm. All her money and status don’t matter in dark and dangerous New Orleans. Yet here she is…and all alone
Clyde Boudreaux, more than capable, meets his nemeses in the bowels of NOLA also. Yet he perseveres. Battered and bloody, he refuses to give up. He continues the perilous journey to find Mandy Rose. Growing up poor and Black in rural Louisiana gives him the armor he needs to toss off the vicious attacks. He’s a survivor. He watched his grandfather get lynched, twisting on the end of a rope naked…with his shoes still on. Clyde inherited the amulet from him that gives him power. But is it enough?
Clyde’s thirst to find and save his daughter’s mother must be satisfied. Mandy Rose must live. He now knows what it is to love. But is it too late for Mandy? Or has insanity claimed her?
And horror of horrors, is it too late to save Hannah?
