Rating: 4.7 #ad
From New York Times & USA Today bestseller Lorhainne Eckhart. A long-buried secret that was never meant to be uncovered could suddenly put a target on both Detective Mark Friessen and Billy Jo McCabe.
Twenty-five years ago, Billy Jo was born to a meth addict and spent her first few months being weaned off the drug. Labeled a difficult baby, she was bounced from foster home to foster home. Later, she was called trouble, a runner, and was accused of starting fires and stealing. She pulled a knife on one foster brother and threatened to bash in the head of another, then spent time in jail by the age of fifteen. That was before she pulled a gun at a gas station and was adopted by Chase McCabe. Her file was then sealed.

Christian billionaire Charles Watkins builds a multi-generational missionary starship: since no vessel can travel faster than light, the ship is large enough to sustain several generations for the journey. But something goes wrong during the launch and now, hundreds of years into the trip, the inhabitants of the Saint Paul have not only forgotten their true purpose, they have forgotten they are on a ship.
Lifeboat tells the story of what happens when Josiah Amon and his friends learn the truth about their world. And what happens when the ship reaches its destination.

Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun. Fifty years after the war, she discovers what he never did – that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends.
The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man, Hannes Ritter, whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s.
Plunged into the world of the “ordinary” Munich girl who was her mother’s confidante – and a tyrant’s lover – Anna finds her every belief about right and wrong challenged. With Hannes’s help, she retraces the path of two women who met as teenagers, shared a friendship that spanned the years that Eva Braun was Hitler’s mistress, yet never knew that the men they loved had opposing ambitions.

Unlikely killer. Unlikely victim. She’s a survivor of horrendous tragedy. It’s why she has no one to stand up for her when the state takes control of her life as a child. It’s why she hasn’t had a single visitor in the psychiatric facility. Then a doctor who is doing research into drug-related crimes, takes an interest in her. It’s for no other reason than to study her case, but if that’s what it takes to gain her freedom – even if it’s still supervised, she doesn’t mind.
What she minds is that once outside and trying to re-connect with life as a young adult, she finds herself slipping into the same kind of trap that saw her father wipe out her entire family and then turn the weapon on himself.
