The Friday 56… Warrior by Zoe Archer
His life was a strange one, all right. It didn't bother him nearly as much as it should.

Due out 9.2010… *Why yes, I do already have it… hee hee hee * It's what I'm reading on my nook…

We went to my husband's company dinner at this quaint little place along the river. We dined outside, sipping drinks and relaxing. Social niceties and adult conversation really made the night enjoyable. It has been far too long since we got away without the kids. Plus, it's always nice when someone else pays the tab, isn't it?
I ordered the b...

There was something so broken, so raw in her voice.
