With war looming on the horizon and winter setting in, can two children escape North Korea on their own? Winner of the Freeman Book Award! North Korea. December, 1950. Twelve-year-old Sora and her family live under an iron set of rules: No travel without a permit. No criticism of the government. No absences from Communist meetings. Wear red.

But war is coming, war between North and South Korea, between the Soviets and the Americans. War causes chaos--and war is the perfect time to escape. The plan is simple: Sora and her family will walk hundreds of miles to the South Korean city of Busan from their tiny mountain village. They just need to avoid napalm, frostbite, border guards, and enemy soldiers. But they can't. And when an incendiary bombing changes everything, Sora and her little brother Young will have to get to Busan on their own. Can a twelve-year-old girl and her eight-year-old brother survive three hundred miles of warzone in winter?

Angela Cartwright, a beautiful, young woman whose family returns to Lake Mont, Texas, becomes embroiled in a battle between good and evil. Angela becomes possessed by the ghost of Lizzy Trahan, Travis' lascivious sister who compels Angela to do things she never would have dreamed of doing . . . until she did. The first young man Angela falls in love with is Travis who has a secret past. Through his own guilt and depression from his sister's death, he lacks the urgency to consummate their love. Getting no satisfaction, she begins passionate love affairs with two brothers, Jarrod and Jason Marziotti. Unaware their father is a member of the Web, she is marked for assassination. Fleeing from her assassin, Angela falls into the strong arms of Cody Chilton who has returned to Lake Mont to solve the mystery of his missing brother. These men did not envision the hell they would endure, but were all certain that Angela was worth the price they would pay to have her in whatever way they could. Wealthy people and well-bred racehorses add a touch of southern-style and a feeling that dreams still come true and the good guy (or girl) can win against all odds.
