So does that mean that this is a non-fiction book or a fiction book?

Funny - maybe it's twilight zone stuff

I never read the synopsis. I just copy/paste. Self-help books are something I'd never read. Boring stuff, doncha know

I read all of the self-help books. That's how I became the unqualified success that I now am in life, business, and everything else.

Desperate to learn the truth about where she's been and what has happened to her but terrified of what she may find, Caitlin embarks on a search for answers. Her journey takes her from the safe suburban world she knows to a seedy town she's never heard of, where a terrible truth from her past lies hidden - a truth she can't quite remember yet can't completely forget.

Nook Daily Find -- exp 28 Mar


$3.99 -- And the Angels Were Silent -- Max Lucado/ Ben Holland --> 5.8 hrs/ R-4.7 --> Christianity

And the Angels Were Silent - The Final Week of Jesus

You can tell a lot about a person by the way he dies.

In the last week of his life, Jesus deliberately sets his face toward Jerusalem - and certain death. This is no ordinary week. Even the angels are silent as they ponder the final days of Jesus Christ.

This is no ordinary walk. Jesus doesn't chatter. He doesn't pause. He is on his final journey.

He walks determinedly to the holy city, angrily into the temple, wearily into Gethsemane, painfully up the Via Dolorosa. And powerfully out of the vacated tomb.

Master storyteller and best-selling author Max Lucado invites you: "Let's follow Jesus on his final journey. For by observing his, we may learn how to make ours. And discover what matters to God."

Audible has a small 50-percent-off, members-only sale for what it calls this month's "Five Star Faves." Sale ends March 29 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

It's only about 40 or so books. For what it's worth, one book they gave five stars in the mystery and thriller category is Before He Finds Her, which I've listened to and would rate at maybe two stars, if I were feeling generous.

Kindle Monthly Deal --> exp 31 Mar

Whispersync: the Audible book is $3.99, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook ($2.99)


$3.99 -- Rosemary -- Kate Clifford Larson/ Bernadette Dunne --> 7.7 hrs/ R-4.3 --> biography

Rosemary - The Hidden Kennedy Daughter

They were the most prominent American family of the 20th century. The daughter they secreted away made all the difference.

Joe and Rose Kennedy's strikingly beautiful daughter, Rosemary, attended exclusive schools, was presented as a debutante to the queen of England, and traveled the world with her high-spirited sisters. And yet Rosemary was intellectually disabled - a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family.

Major new sources - Rose Kennedy's diaries and correspondence, school and doctors' letters, and exclusive family interviews - bring Rosemary to life as a girl adored but left far behind by her competitive siblings. Kate Larson reveals both the sensitive care Rose and Joe gave to Rosemary and then, as the family's standing reached an apex, the often desperate and duplicitous arrangements the Kennedys made to keep her away from home as she became increasingly intractable in her early 20s. Finally, Larson illuminates Joe's decision to have Rosemary lobotomized at age 23 and the family's complicity in keeping the secret.

Rosemary delivers a profoundly moving coda: JFK visited Rosemary for the first time while campaigning in the Midwest; she had been living isolated in a Wisconsin institution for nearly 20 years. Only then did the siblings understand what had happened to Rosemary and bring her home for loving family visits. It was a reckoning that inspired them to direct attention to the plight of the disabled, transforming the lives of millions.

Note: the Audible book is $1.99, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook (free or $4.99)


$1.99 -- The Mercy of the Night -- David Corbett/ David de Vries --> 10.4 hrs/ R-3.8 --> suspense

Phelan Tierney helps people who hope to start their lives over. When a young woman he's taken under his wing disappears, the former lawyer devotes himself to finding her - despite her puzzlingly unhelpful family and his own ghosts.

Jacquelina Garza has been to hell and back. Abducted and tortured by a child predator when she was eight years old, she still, years later, bears the scars of the incident and its aftermath - including a very public trial. Her teenage life takes an even steeper downward spiral when she's drawn into a murder case that threatens to tear apart her hometown of Rio Mirada, the gateway to Napa Valley's opulence.

Can these two wayward souls find redemption amid the convenient lies and difficult truths that have followed them for so long?
