Broken Ground shows us President Herbert Hoover’s Repatriation Act put into action, a law which involved the forced deportation of Mexican migrant workers. It’s a frightening look at the effect government policies can have on real people and how ...
I don’t believe in “the one” - as in your one and only true love and soulmate. Sure, I’ll buy the fated mates argument in a paranormal or science fiction story but in a contemporary novel I find it is often used to explain angst of the annoying variety. Most times the hero or heroine will pi ...
