If Only... - Pierce, June Kelley

. .

Résumé :
This brother and sister team decided to combine their efforts and themes to present exciting tales of unexpected events and emotions. Ordinary events lead to extraordinary outcomes. As relationships and expectations change for all of us in our everyday lives, these stories take in the raw emotion and attributes that allow you to experience the characters as if you were playing the roles yourself. The styles of writing are classically different but have a main thread that ties them together. These stories cross all geographic, socio-economic and historical lines-from the Nazi invasion and World War II to a small rural New England town and the poverty and violence of an American inner-city. From kindness to vengeance, these stories transport us to a world where choices make the difference.
