When I showed my sister this  book sale, she said:

The best part about these books are how the author has written about the inner conflict and confusion of these children beautifully. Even when Ginnie is perplexed… she is most endearing!

I always enjoy a visit with the West Family. There are so many threads in this series, and Ms. Bucheger has twisted them together to form a lovely tapestry and cohesive story.

Where do you run when the good guys want you dead?

Will a ruthless mercenary, a hapless American traitor, and a dead man’s cryptic clue hold the key to Sam’s survival? As the noose tightens around her neck, Sam must uncover a brutal and deadly conspiracy before she becomes its next victim. 

Is Special Agent Sam Jameson in love with a traitor?

Why do the DC Metro police seem to want her dead? And why has she suddenly been cut out of the loop by her bosses at Homeland? Do the damning links between Brock and a shadowy figure named Arturo Dibiaso mean that she's been living with a spy and a traitor?

Two best friends... One big dream.

Their scheme, ‘Operation Secret Sisters,’ seems like the perfect plan. Get Ginnie's widower dad to fall in love with Tillie's divorcee mom. Should be easy-peasy, right? Wrong...

Just as things get rolling, Ginnie finds her late mom’s journals. With secrets from the past and emotions in the present, their mission to become sisters may bring more challenges than they bargained for.

Sometimes the toughest battles are fought with kindness.

Knocking down a bully to defend her brother seemed like a good idea at the time... but Ginnie couldn’t have been more wrong. She quickly learns that Toran doesn’t appreciate being rescued by a girl any better than Pierce likes being knocked down by one. 

When Pierce seeks revenge on Ginnie, Toran sets aside his anger and helps plot a payback prank at Pierce’s house. Ginnie learns that Pierce has a reason for being a bully. Realizing he's a boy in big trouble, Ginnie decides to be his ally, because he won’t let her be his friend.

Her mother's journals... her best friend's fears

When a forgotten "blast from the past" shakes up their present, Ginnie is torn between her best friend, Tillie, and what she wants most as both girls navigate new plot twists in their lives. 

Now, Ginnie must juggle friendship, family secrets, and her own greatest desire.

A little girl has been slain. Is it Sam Jameson's fault?

Homeland, Justice, and a powerful US Senator think so.

And Sam is afraid they might be right. She’s been suspended, and she even faces an indictment. With her beau stuck on an overseas deployment, she’s left alone with her guilt and heartache — until a cryptic and terrifying message propels her out of her darkness and into a morass of international intrigue.

You've done nothing wrong. So why have they thrown you in prison?

No phone call. No lawyer. Just these words: "National Security."

Is it a massive mistake?

Or is it something much, much worse?
