Journey with me into the life of a little girl named, Jasmine. She is one of four sisters, but my story journeys into her life from her perspective. Raised partly in the desert of Nevada, the hills of Kentucky and the mountains of Idaho. All four sisters suffer during a time when their parents divorce, their mother neglects them and their father kidnaps them. Now raised in an environment full of abuse by their stepmother, they learn to keep secrets. From Jasmine’s point of view, she starts suffering from depression and chronic anxiety. A great amount of fear controls her life, now that her father is gone. Feeling trapped and helpless to find her real mother, she wonders if her prayers are heard. As she grows up, she begins soul searching to heal from emotional damage. Trust issues prevent her from setting healthy boundaries. A long search begins to find her real mother and find answers. Through Jasmine’s eyes, we experience her sadness inflicted on her tender heart-a heart that feels unloved during a time when she is betrayed by her husband. Jasmine learns that love and forgiveness are the keys to healing and that her voice matters during a time when shattered and broken.

On a visit to Paris in 1892, American historian Henry Adams befriends a young woman who then vanishes. He follows her trail through the city's seamier reaches and into the corrupt heart of the Panama Canal scandal. This novel is a combination of history and fiction.

This history examines the Panama crisis from June 1987 to December 1989 not simply as a prelude to Operation Just Cause but as a case study in its own right - as an extended series of interrelated actions and issues that U.S. military personnel had to confront on a daily basis in a process that imparted no sense of inevitability as to the outcome.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the political and economic developments in Panama from 1980 to the present day.
