352 pages | Paperback
A tense, psychological novel about what propels one 8-year-old girl to murder, and the complex ways this past chases her down in later life.

Chrissie is eight years old and she has a secret: she has just killed a boy.The feeling of it made her belly fizz like soda pop. Across her neighborhood, Chrissie's playmates and their parents are tearful and terrified. But Chrissie rules the roost - she's the best at wall-walking, she knows how to get free candy, and now she has a secret, thrilling power she doesn't get to experience much at home, where food is scarce and attention scarcer.

Twenty years later, Chrissie has a new identity and a new name. As "Julia," she is working in a cafe to support herself and her six-year-old daughter, Molly. All she wants is a fresh start, but the past hasn't seemed to let her and Molly alone, and when, suddenly, their future together is threatened, Chrissie/Julia must find a new way to take matters into her own hands.

Nancy Tucker leaves the reader breathless as she considers what happens when innocence and survival instincts collide. Tucker writes from professional experience in pediatric mental health, and she inhabits the voices of her young protagonists with a shocking authenticity and precision that moves the reader from sympathy to humor to horror to heartbreak and back again.

Great fragrance

Took a chance and ordered this cologne for my husband without smelling it first. We both liked it (It's all used up- gotta order more:-) A light fragrance that lasts all day.

Every cologne certainly lasts differently….. just be aware
Scent: Original Citrus + Eucalyptus
Smells very nice like Harry’s Shower jell but doesn’t last very long at all on me , hopefully others so definitely not worth the money as far as I’m concerned

A well-rhymed book of poems
Format: Paperback
Thomas Hardy is a superb poet, a master rhymer, one of the main features of his poetry. These poems here are well-written and a delight to read. It is quite amazing to think why his poetry was so ignored and for the most part did not get much attention in his lifetime after one finishes reading the book. It tells more about the ignorance of man than Hardy as a poet that in some ways is getting the praise that he so much deserves, finally. Numerous are the poems that show mastery of diction and subject matter. They are carefully crafted to make them a jewel of poetry. Read them for what they bring which is magnificent poetry seen in their lines.
