• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Marian Reid was forced by her mother to give up her autistic son, Robert, for adoption. Though she fought in court for him twice in the past, when his current caregiver is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she must fight a third time or risk losing all contact with him. Trouble is, at Marian's high school reunion, she has just reconciled with her soul mate, the father Robert has never known. Further, she must break a promise to her best friend, risking their friendship.

This is about mother's love, but also about the love between Marian, her friends, and neighbors, the quirky people who live on Ledbetter Street:

Eva, who is fighting breast cancer while trying to keep her coffee shop afloat.

Jane, a homeless woman, who is fighting to survive on the mean streets of Galveston.

And Chloe, who is enmeshed in a violent relationship and fighting to keep her baby.

Ledbetter Street is a story of the mothers, the children, the friendships, and the personal tragedies of people who have become a family by virtue of their choice of home, their struggles, and the lessons learned.

Autorenporträt

Susan P. Baker, a retired Texas judge, is the author of 8 novels and two nonfiction books, all of which are related to the law. As a judge, she dealt with everything from murder to divorce. Prior thereto, she practiced law for nine years, spending much of her time in the courtroom. While in law school, she worked as a probation officer.

Susan's father was a lawyer and a judge. She remembers him parking the family outside the old county jail while he went inside to make bail bonds. She'd stare out the window at the broken glass lining the tops of the walls to prevent escapes and wonder what the jail was like inside. Later, as a probation officer and then an attorney, she became quite familiar with the interior of the jail but luckily could leave whenever she wanted.

Susan is a member of Texas Author's Inc., Authors Guild, Sisters in Crime, Writers League of Texas, and Galveston Novel and Short Story Writers.

She has two children, eight grandchildren, and lives in Texas. She loves dark chocolate, raspberries, and traveling around the world. An anglophile, she likes to visit cousins in England and Australia. On her bucket list are a trip to New Zealand, a long trip back to Australia, living in England for several months at a time, visiting all the presidential libraries in the U.S., and driving Route 66 in 2020.
