International bestseller Samuel Bjork makes his US debut, a chilling and fast-paced thriller in which two detectives must hunt down a vengeful killer--and uncover the secret that ties each of them to the crime A six-year-old girl is found in the countryside, hanging lifeless from a tree and dressed in strange doll's clothes. Around her neck is a sign that says "I'm traveling alone." A special homicide unit re-opens with veteran police investigator Holger Munch at the helm. Holger's first step is to persuade the brilliant but haunted investigator Mia Kruger, who has been living on an isolated island, overcome by memories of her past. When Mia views a photograph of the crime scene and spots the number "1" carved into the dead girl's fingernail, she knows this is only the beginning. Could this killer have something to do with a missing child, abducted six years ago and never found, or with the reclusive religious community hidden in the nearby woods? Mia returns to duty to track down a revenge-driven and ruthlessly intelligent killer. But when Munch's own six-year-old granddaughter goes missing, Mia realizes that the killer's sinister game is personal, and I'm Traveling Alone races to an explosive--and shocking--conclusion.

"Jen offers up all the gory details of a life permanently in progress. She reassures you that it's okay to not have life completely figured out, even when you reach middle age (and find your first gray pubic hair). She talks about making unusual or unpopular life decisions (such as cultivating a 'friend with benefits' or not going home for the holidays) because you don't necessarily want for yourself what everyone else seems to think you should. It's about renting when everyone says you should own, dating around when everyone thinks you should settle down, and traveling alone when everyone pities you for going to Paris without a man"--Amazon.com.

"Forever Connected" is a highly personal, emotionally intense story of eternal love and commitment. It is written for those grieving the loss of someone they loved deeply. The fundamental premise of the book is that you can heal from that loss by keeping your relationship with your beloved actively alive in your heart and mind. It directly opposes the notion that healing ultimately requires moving on from your loved one and moving them into memory. This book is written from the unique perspective of someone who is neither religious nor an atheist. An alternative title could have been, "A pathway to God for the non-religious." It describes Bill's personal journey of building belief in Marnie's living soul by building belief in a living God who is the source and substance of that soul. Forever Connected describes a relationship of profound love and intensity that challenged the boundaries and limits of society every step along the way and continues to do so even in death.
