Joy After Noon by Debra Coleman Jeter

JOY AFTER NOON is the story of Joy Hancock, her new gorgeous husband Ray, and his two daughters, Marianne and Jenny. Marianne, a would-be ballerina, is haunted by the image of her deceased, perfection-demanding mother. Her younger sister, Jenny, longing for acceptance and companionship, befriends troubled and trouble-seeking Claudia, with dire consequences. Joy struggles to balance the challenges of career as a college professor coming up for tenure with those of her new family, while Ray faces an ethical dilemma at work. He must decide whether or not to blow the whistle on his colleagues following an ill-advised merger. At home he alternates between being distracted and irritable, and Joy misreads the signals as indicating his disappointment in her due to her failures—to live up to the model set by his first wife and to cope with the girls and domestic life. Inspired in part by Love, Come Softly, this novel explores the challenges of second marriages and dealing with stepchildren during the crucial years of puberty and teenage angst. This book is discounted 35% on Amazon for a limited time.

Shadows Of Tehran by Nick Berg

“When you find yourself at the gates of Hell, keep walking.” —Churchill
Raised in Tehran but torn between two worlds, Ricardo’s young life is thrown into chaos when his American father abandons the family just as the Islamic Revolution of 1979 breaks out. As fundamental human rights are washed away in a tide of religious, anti-Western fanaticism, Ricardo’s mother remarries, introducing a stepfather with a dark secret.
At only 14 years old, Ricardo vows to take back what was stolen under the oppressive, authoritarian rule. He quickly becomes a rebel leader, earning himself renown as the Shadow Rider of Tehran. When his name is leaked and an execution order issued, he must flee the only country he has called home. But the fight is not over. Blessed with an indomitable will and unbreakable spirit, Ricardo becomes a US Special Forces soldier, and in a surprising turn of events, lands right back where he started.
Spanning continents and infused with heart-pounding action, Shadows of Tehran is more than just a story of war. It’s an exploration of one man’s refusal to break under abuse, abandonment, and loss—an affirmation that we, not the events in our lives, determine whether to be a victim or survivor. Based on a true story, this is an astonishing tale of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human spirit—one that will inspire anyone facing their own shadows to keep pushing forward.
