“Would you cover for your cousin if he did something wrong?” she asked. “No.” “Even though he’s your cousin?” “No matter who he was.” “What if it was me?” I pushed back my barstool. The scrape of the legs on the tile floor made Gillian wince, then her eyes widened as I came around the island. “It’s just a question,” she managed before I put a hand down on either side of the counter, trapping her against it. “It’s not just a question, Gillian,” I said, staring down at her. “Are you telling me that you knew what your ex-husband was doing? That you’re complicit?” Gillian shook her head. “No, of course not. But…just…what if I had, and I asked you to cover for me? What would you do?” I had no f*cking idea, but I said brutally, “I’d drive you to prison myself.” I don’t know if she’s innocent or guilty All I know is she’s back in my life And I’m going to protect her no matter what Even if it’s from herself Buy Now on Amazon
Picasso’s Motorcycle Book France, 1940. An unexpected gift of an old motorcycle with a tragically romantic past hurls a young orphan into the thick of things as war breaks out and his life changes forever. Half-French/half-German Daniel must find a way to survive in a world that mercy seems to have abandoned. This book transports the reader to Nazi-occupied France, where Daniel unwittingly and unexpectedly finds himself working for the Resistance, and ultimately to the Russian Front in a twist of fate so startling that no one can see it coming. In turn quirky, heartwarming, beguiling and uncompromising, author Marc Sercomb weaves together many moods and colors to tell young Daniel’s story. Beyond engaging, Picasso’s Motorcycle has been hailed as a genuine “page-turner” by those who have so far encountered it. If you like “The Book Thief” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” you’ll love this book! Buy Now from Amazon
