"Tromp weaves a complex historical tale incorporating love, suspense, hurt, and healing--all the elements that keep the pages turning." —Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Perennials Charlotte Anne Mattas longs to turn back the clock. Before her husband, Sam, went to serve his country in the war, he was the man everyone could rely on--responsible, intelligent, and loving. But the person who's come back to their family farm is very different from the protector Annie remembers. Sam's experience in the Pacific theater has left him broken in ways no one can understand--but that everyone is learning to fear. Tongues start wagging after Sam nearly kills his own brother. Now when he claims to have seen men on the mountain when no one else has seen them, Annie isn't the only one questioning his sanity and her safety. If there were criminals haunting the hills, there should be evidence beyond his claims. Is he really seeing what he says, or is his war-tortured mind conjuring ghosts? Annie desperately wants to believe her husband. But between his irrational choices and his nightmares leaking into the daytime, she's terrified he's going mad. Can she trust God to heal Sam's mental wounds--or will sticking by him mean keeping her marriage at the cost of her own life? Debut novelist Janyre Tromp delivers a deliciously eerie, Hitchcockian story filled with love and suspense. Readers of psychological thrillers and historical fiction by Jaime Jo Wright and Sarah Sundin will add Tromp to their favorite authors list.

On the same day, an airplane Cal owned was lost on a mission of mercy with six of his friends on board. Twenty-three years later, wreckage from the plane is discovered on a previously uncharted island. Cal races there hoping to find survivors only to discover seven graves and a mysterious young man he believes is Ben. Though Cal recovers his son, Ben has changed from the troubled child to a paranoid young man who is clearly out of touch with reality. Cal believes that fear and isolation have altered Ben's perceptions. Soon Cal is forced to admit that his own memories of the past are flawed and the deadly truths are hidden somewhere . . .

We live in a world of shadows and illusions, and of lies and deception. Finding our way through this stifling darkness requires that we learn how to recognize fraudulent distortion in all its forms. Shunning any and every preconceived notion that has been planted, and giving ourselves the ability to truly understand our own truth. This is what we call MIND'S EYE VISION, which is the ability to see with the mind and not only the eyes. And is something that is critical to our wellbeing for while the eyes sees mostly illusions, an awaken mind has the ability to see through all deception. This book has been written with one sole purpose, which is to remove the veil has placed over our eyes, and to break the chains that have been used to shackle our minds. It is a very short book consisting of only three chapters, but the words that lie within are sharper than the blade of a razor. Each chapter is separated into what the author conveniently call keys, because they are the keys to conquests for anyone who manages to attain mastery of them, and must thus be carefully articulated for they will only serve to sharpen the mind.One has to tread very carefully for knowledge of this caliber has the ability to blow minds to oblivion, and is ultimately dependent on the individual's level of enlightenment, something that negates the effect of the shock and softens the blow of what is revealed.As individuals we must learn how to comprehend the nature of the world we live in, to develop a heighten sense of things, and to see people and organizations for what they really are and not what they present themselves as. Accomplishing this will demand self discipline, and a conviction that will strengthen our resolve by ensuring that we deduce the truth behind our own history. A history that must be extrapolated from the wisdom that is attained through evidence, and one that will allow us TO KNOW THY ORIGINS, TO KNOW THY SELF, and TO KNOW THY ENEMY.

In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world. There is Lilian, a concert pianist who becomes unable to read music and is eventually unable even to recognize everyday objects, and Sue, a neurobiologist who has never seen in three dimensions, until she suddenly acquires stereoscopic vision in her fifties. There is Pat, who reinvents herself as a loving grandmother and active member of her community, despite the fact that she has aphasia and cannot utter a sentence, and Howard, a prolific novelist who must find a way to continue his life as a writer even after a stroke destroys his ability to read. And there is Dr. Sacks himself, who tells the story of his own eye cancer and the bizarre and disconcerting effects of losing vision to one side. Sacks explores some very strange paradoxes—people who can see perfectly well but cannot recognize their own children, and blind people who become hyper-visual or who navigate by “tongue vision.” He also considers more fundamental questions: How do we see? How do we think? How important is internal imagery—or vision, for that matter? Why is it that, although writing is only five thousand years old, humans have a universal, seemingly innate, potential for reading? The Mind’s Eye is a testament to the complexity of vision and the brain and to the power of creativity and adaptation. And it provides a whole new perspective on the power of language and communication, as we try to imagine what it is to see with another person’s eyes, or another person’s mind.

Suffering from traumatic amnesia and the loss of her right leg Mattie Tyler is living in small town deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. With a new identity and new friends she has been building a new life as Mary Jo Majors. The sudden appearance of her estranged husband, Jeremiah Tyler causes her memory to return abruptly, but imperfectly. The pain and suffering she went through previously has created a fog as thick as those frequently found in the mountains clouding and obscuring her memories; creating echoes and distortions. When she witnesses a murder and the theft of a priceless gold coin, no one except Jeremiah believes her. Many of those in her life try to convince her the memory is false, something created out of the shadows of her previous memories. Now she must face past ghosts and present terrors to learn what is real and what isn't. Help comes from those she is most inclined to fear and distrust: The spirit-like Ute Indian Joe Healing Water and the British operative known as Hawk; a man whose name is enough terrify her. Together with Jeremiah, they work to protect her from not only becoming another victim of a pathological killer-but to also accept her memories and face her future.
