Part memoir, part current affairs, part argument for legalization - The War on Drugs is a MUST READ for those who believe that the war on drugs only happens to "those people" in "that part of town." Written from the point of view of a wife and mother, The War On Drugs: An Old Wives' Tale examines the pros and cons of marijuana prohibition, drug diversion programs, and challenges the reader to define the nature of addiction and other pre-conceived notions. Early reviews have included: "Written with the humor of hindsight, yet the abject horror of getting caught in the cross fire of the so-called War On Drugs comes through with crystal clarity. For anyone that has any doubt about the truth of the matter, it becomes abundantly clear that the war on drugs is really a war on people, - good wholesome people that care for their children and make a positive contribution to their community. This is a must read. The War on Drug's: An Old Wives' Tale lays bare the absurdity of Marijuana Prohibition, the lies and injustice of our Legal System, and the unscientific, unethical nature of 'The Recovery Industry.' Read it. Believe it. And be warned." "I live in the county this book takes place in. I drive by the courthouse mentioned often. I never knew anything like this was going on in my area. It was devastating to read, but devastating in the way we need to be devastated in order for our nation to see progress. I appreciated the ability to step inside a real family going through this. That personal connection made the book feel relatable, and it was easy, as a fellow mother, to picture myself living this nightmare if my life had gone a different direction. The day by day format of the book works well for demonstrating the struggle as a daily battle rather than one big event. It was hundreds of bad events. Lots of bad policies, lots of injustice, lots of anger and fear. I highly recommend this to those who think drugs are something only found in 'that part of town' or that all those involved are 'that sort of people.' It's simply not true."

Yet, fate, in its unpredictable way, bestows upon Nichole and Jhon a bittersweet miracle when tragedy strikes. That miracle is Elizabeth – an innocent girl forsaken by her birth mother and then tragically orphaned in a mysterious fire. In Elizabeth, Nichole and Jhon see the embodiment of their longings for love and family. They welcome her into their lives with open hearts, believing that the three of them will create the perfect family. As the seasons pass, Elizabeth's demeanor shifts like the changing weather. She is shy and sweet in the spring, warm and outgoing in the summer. However, as autumn descends, so too does Elizabeth's temperament, veering towards anxiety and withdrawal. And with the arrival of the cold, dark nights of winter, a chilling transformation takes place. Elizabeth becomes something entirely unexpected: Manipulative. Cunning. Dangerous. Nichole's idyllic dreams of family life quickly crumble as she realizes that the foundation upon which they are built harbors nightmarish secrets. In order to protect the ones she loves most, she must summon the strength to defy her own instincts and challenge the very principles that define her as a mother. In this gripping psychological domestic thriller, Nichole's struggle for survival takes center stage as she grapples with the unthinkable and confronts the darkness lurking within her once-promising family. Recent reviewers have said: "Everything about Winter's Child is absolutely terrifying." "I had things to do this week. Time sensitive things that needed my attention.

"Strap on your seatbelt and prepare yourself for one wild rollercoaster of a ride through this story!" "Excellent book! Such an original story line! I'm struggling to write this review because I do not want to give anything away. You just have to read it for yourself." Winter's Child is a taut and chilling thriller from Christine Shuck - a gripping page-turner in the tradition of Gillian Flynn, Willow Rose, Jayne Renshaw, and Sarah Denzil.
