Produktbeschreibung

Life can change in just an instant. That's the harsh reality that Jenny Jasik faces when her son, Michael, is killed in an automobile accident. She is a single mother with two other children, Scott and Alicia. Ralph, her ex-husband, left her six years ago for a younger woman. He moved to California and has all but abandoned them.

When Jenny sees an item in the newspaper about a special task force forming at the local police department, she goes to the station and demands to be part of that team. She stands firm in the face of objections from Chief Gonzales. He finally agrees to let her work with them as a Confidential Informant if she passes a physical fitness test and a psychological screening. He also tells her that if she works with them it will be in the strictest confidence. She is to tell no one. Not her kids. Not her mother. Not her best friend. No even her dog.

Note: This book was inspired by a true story.

"One Small Victory is great Romantic Suspense and a read you won't want to miss." Victoria Kennedy, Midwest Book Reviews

"One Small Victory is not for the faint of heart, but it is an excellent, well-crafted novel. The tension is all pervasive, and heat, rage, sorrow, despair, and all-enveloping terror fill every page." Carolyn Crisher for Romance Reviews Today

"The resolution of these {personal} threads is most satisfying, in that they aren't neatly resolved, much like real life. The undercover side of One Small Victory is exciting and fast paced." Reviewed by Larry W. Chavis for Crime & Suspense

"One Small Victory is an engrossing suspense thriller with a hint of romance that is intelligently kept very minimal and mostly off page." Harriet Klausner for Amazon.com - 5-stars

"One Small Victory is an amazing, heart pounding, emotional tale about one mother's love of her children, and the steps she takes to protect them from harm." Jennifer Lawrence for Amazon.com - 4-stars

Autorenporträt

Maryann Miller, an award-winning author, has been in love with story-telling since she was a child, when the books she read took her to fantastical places on wonderful adventures.

She started her professional career as a journalist, writing columns, feature stories, and short fiction for regional and national publications. At one time she was known as the Erma Bombeck of Plano, Texas, for her humor column about the joys of family life. Her novels are primarily mysteries, with an occasional romance, or short story collection, or mainstream novel thrown into the mix.

Miller is the recipient of the Page Edwards Short Story Award for her story Maybe Someday and the New York Library Best Books for Teens Award for her nonfiction book, Coping With Weapons And Violence In School and On Your Streets. Her mystery, Doubletake, was honored as the Best Mystery by the Texas Association of Authors. She took first-place in the short story and screenwriting competition at the Houston Writer's Conference and was a semi-finalist at Sundance for her script "A Question of Honor." She was also a semi-finalist in the Chesterfield Screenwriting Competition with the adaptation of Open Season, the first book in the Seasons Mystery Series.

When not writing, Miller loves to play on stage and work in her garden - two creative pursuits that bring great joy, along with coloring and quilting. She lives in Texas with her dog and three cats. The cats rule, and the dog is very patient.
