She meets Troy Eaton, a man facing hard times, and a strange and confused elderly woman who calls herself the Countess. When Troy is implicated in more than one crime, Kate is convinced of his innocence, even contrary to circumstantial evidence. Yet as she investigates, she begins to wonder if the several mysteries she's juggling are linked--and it appears that none of her new friends are quite who they seem. Can Kate clear Troy's name when she hardly knows him or will getting involved put her in danger?

by Diane NobleAN EYE FOR ART. COPPER MILL IS BUZZING WITH EXCITEMENT over the opening of a new museum that features art donated by one of the town's great success stories: a man named Davis Carr, who spent a meaningful part of his childhood there. Carr has even made sure that the museum is equipped with a high-tech surveillance system run by security guru Clive Garfield. But when Paul's mentor Nehemiah Jacobs comes across the security feed of the museum, he sees more than just a few priceless paintings. Kate is sure that the suspicious activity at the museum is connected to Clive, especially after she notices that Livvy's son James Jenner, who works on Clive's security team, begins to act fearful and skittish. When Kate tries to enlist the assistance of Renee Lambert, she finds that Renee has sworn off gossip, which makes for a surprisingly difficult investigation. With or without Renee, Kate knows that something shady is surrounding the museum and, worse, she worries that James is in trouble. Can she get to the bottom of it before it's too late?

The Practice of the Presence of God
by Brother LawrenceOften in these times we seem to be grasping at straws in our weak attempts to meet the terrifying demands of a world seemingly at odds with creation and its Creator. Brother Lawrence lived in an era that must have been equally soul-shaking. He began life as Nicholas Herman in Lorraine, when the province was French. In his boyhood began the Thirty Years' War which covered all Europe with terror. No doubt he took part in that war, because he was first a common soldier. In these conversations and letters he takes us intimately into his struggles to meet God until at last he could find the love of God in even the most menial of his kitchen tasks, to which he naturally had a great aversion, and in the midst of noisy confusion, opposition, and temptation. Countless millions have been led into the presence of God through this simple classic since the publication of the original French edition in 1692, a year after the author's death. The beauty and wonder of this book is that it is by one of the humblest of men, a man who was once an awkward footman and then a monastery cook. It is not by someone who was of finer stuff than the men and women of his day or any day. What Brother Lawrence did, all can do.
