With the help of some dedicated volunteers, a cute vet, and a kitten who mysteriously shows up just when she needs it, Kari must prove her innocence all while trying to save a dog on death row.

Hannah's ambitions are set on the program's highest-stakes case in years: a convicted rapist and murderer on death row. She'll do anything--whatever it takes-to work on this case. Because Hannah has a secret. Nearly three decades ago her mother Laura abandoned everything, too. A teenage runaway who fled her abusive family, she escaped to Maine for a fresh start.

And the more she learns about this complicated case, the more she learns about herself. Because secrets and lies come with a price. Told in alternating timelines, the mother and daughter's stories twist and turn into an explosive conclusion"--

The last place you look / by Lepionka, Kristen,author.;
"Nobody knows what happened to Sarah Cook. The beautiful blonde teenager disappeared fifteen years ago, the same night her parents were brutally murdered in their suburban Ohio home. Her boyfriend Brad Stockton -- black and from the wrong side of the tracks -- was convicted of the murders and is now on death row. Though he's maintained his innocence all along, the clock is running out. His execution is only weeks away when his devoted sister insists she spied Sarah at an area gas station. Willing to try anything, she hires PI Roxane Weary to look at the case and see if she can locate Sarah. Brad might be in a bad way, but private investigator Roxane Weary isn't doing so hot herself. Still reeling from the recent death of her cop father in the line of duty, her main way of dealing with her grief has been working as little and drinking as much as possible. But Roxane finds herself drawn in to the story of Sarah's vanishing act, especially when she links the disappearance to one of her father's unsolved murder cases involving another teen girl. The stakes get higher as Roxane discovers that the two girls may not be the only beautiful blonde teenagers who've turned up missing or dead.

Forget Me Not. by Willingham, Stacy.;
A riff on the power of sisterhood and the danger of secrets from the New York Times bestselling author of A Flicker in the Dark and All The Dangerous Things. Claire Campbell's big sister died twenty-two years ago when she met up with an older man in a 90's chat room. Now, he's on death row after confessing to the murder of another girl. After a public outburst threatens her credibility as a journalist, Claire's suspended from the newsroom. With her newfound free time, she applies for a job at Featherbank Farm, a coastal vineyard in South Carolina, on a whim. Even better, it's only an hour away from where she and Natalie grew up and Claire is desperate to get some closure on her sister and set her life back on track. At first glance, Featherbank is idyllic and full of nostalgia for Claire. Soon though, she stumbles across an old diary written by one of the farm owners. In the folds of a love story overtaken by manipulation and control that's uncannily similar to what happened to Natalie, pieces of unsolved crimes surface in the diary. Is something more sinister happening at Featherbank? If Claire can piece together enough evidence to solve these cold cases, she could definitely get her job back. And she can't ignore the feeling that, somehow, Natalie's death is tied to this all. Featherbank was supposed to be the place to help her forget, but with every secret she uncovers, she realizes that may be impossible.Library Bound Incorporated

River of fire : my spiritual journey / by Prejean, Helen,author.;
In this revelatory, intimate memoir from the author of Dead Man Walking, the nation's foremost leader in efforts to abolish the death penalty shares the story of her growth as a spiritual leader, speaks out about the challenges of the Catholic Church, and shows that joy and religion are not mutually exclusive. Sister Helen Prejean's work as an activist nun, campaigning to educate Americans about the inhumanity of the death penalty, is known to millions worldwide. Less widely known is the evolution of her spiritual journey from praying for God to solve the world's problems to engaging full-tilt in working to transform societal injustices. Sister Helen grew up in a well-off Baton Rouge family that still employed black servants. She joined the Sisters of St. Joseph at the age of eighteen and was in her forties when she had an awakening that her life's work was to immerse herself in the struggle of poor people forced to live on the margins of society. Sister Helen writes about the relationships with friends, fellow nuns, and mentors who have shaped her over the years. In this honest and fiercely open account, she writes about her close friendship with a priest, intent on marrying her, that challenged her vocation in the "new territory of the heart." The final page of River of Fire ends with the opening page of Dead Man Walking, when she was first invited to correspond with a man on Louisiana's death row. River of Fire is a book for anyone interested in journeys of faith and spirituality, doubt and belief, and "catching on fire" to purpose and passion. It is a book, written in accessible, luminous prose, about how to live a spiritual life that is wide awake to the sufferings and creative opportunities of our world.
