by Valerie Saul
When a recently widowed former FBI agent forms a secret band of like-minded women to fight crime, they discover there are many different kinds of heroes, and each woman is forced to choose what exactly is a life well lived.
Inside…
“Beth had worked her way through the so-called stages of grief before Jim died. Okay, so maybe she had circled back and pitched a tent in “Angry Town” for a while. But now that Jim was truly gone, she had started imagining a future centered on taking care of herself and no one else. She longed to whip out the to-do list in her pocket. She did love a good list . . . Instead, she straightened her shoulders and brought her attention back to the minister. The memorial service would be over soon. Then she could get on with the rest of her life.”
