Secrets come in all sorts and sizes. Sometimes, they are as sweet as an engagement ring in a nervous boy's pocket. Other times ... they threaten to shatter your very self. With those kinds of secrets, it's difficult to judge if keeping it or telling it is more damaging. For years, I believed telling my secret was far more dangerous than anything imaginable. I was wrong. My daddy was one of the finest men Allen County, Tennessee ever produced. His brother, Hollis, was a devil from hell. I could never bring myself to tell Daddy or Mama the truth about what Hollis had done, and I was sure God counted me just as guilty. So I carried it inside and never told another living soul. Except for David Lee. Until that summer Phil's daddy died. Then everything unraveled.

CLAIRE SHEPHERD HAS ONE GOAL for her senior year: to keep herself off of Kyla's radar, the girl who has bullied her all through high school. She and her best and pretty much only friend Gary plan to keep their heads down, keep quiet, and avoid attention so they can get through their last year of high school in peace. Then enters Luke Davis, a nineteen-year-old transfer student who quickly catches everyone's attention. Not only is Luke probably the most gorgeous guy Claire has ever seen, he does something that no one has ever done for her before: stands up for her. Claire's plan to avoid attention quickly derails as she starts spending more time and getting closer to Luke. Luke seems to have it all: he's good-looking, smart, and considerate. But there is something that he is hiding, some burden of guilt that he can't seem to overcome. Will Claire be able to accept Luke's past? Can love and forgiveness overcome regret and grief?

The basis for this book is from a 30-year oceanographer/physical scientist career, logging over 600,000 miles at sea on over 60 cruises employing the evolving technology to gather deep ocean data in physical, geophysical, and bathymetric sciences. My position as an in-house contact for many of the outside principle investigators who came in on ONR contracts kept me in touch with evolving thoughts about ocean science. 70 something of my papers were published with them. I have given talks/poster sessions worldwide to a variety of venues, all of which involved marine geomorphology. In my career I have reviewed proposals for both the NSF and the ONR. I have been told by various scientists that, along with one other physical scientist, that we knew more about the ocean floors than anyone else...

Henry James was born in the United States, in New York City, on April 15, 1843 and is considered an American writer, though he spent most of his life in England and, a year before his death in London on February 28, 1916, became a British citizen. He is regarded as one of the key literary figures of the 19th century, writing mainly narrative fiction. He influenced many other writers, most notably Edith Wharton.... James was the son of Henry James, Sr., a well-known intellectual of his day, and the brother of William James. Henry is known especially for the novels in which he portrays Americans encountering Europeans. His style of writing, often verbose and indirect, especially in his later years, can make him difficult to read. Often, too, he writes from the point of view of the characters within a tale, exploring issues related to consciousness and perception.... James contributed significantly to literary criticism, especially in his later years when his works were republished with extensive introductions by James. He insisted that writers be allowed the greatest freedom in their writing, and that narrative fiction be true to life, giving readers a view of life that is recognizable. He felt that the only way to judge whether a novel is good or bad is by whether the author is good or bad.... His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue, and narrators who were not necessarily reliable, brought depth and interest to his fiction. The Aspern Papers is one of his most notable short novels, along with The Turn of the Screw. In addition to fiction he published articles, books of travel, autobiography, biography, criticism, and plays. Among his masterpieces are Daisy Miller (1879), The Portrait of a Lady (1881), The Bostonians (1886), What Maisie Knew (1897), The Wings of the Dove (1902), and The Golden Bowl (1916), available in this series, Classics Condensed by Cowley, along with The Portrait of a Lady, and The Aspern Papers.
