Books for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is coming! How about some books to celebrate dads?

Many of the characters in my books are or were street kids and/or foster kids and they tend to have abusive or absent fathers. So I thought I would highlight a couple of them who had good relationships with their dads. I have also pulled together a sampling of other books showcasing good father/child relationships. I hope you find something here that you like!

Making Her Mark

Secrets and lies.

When everything changed, Kelli thought she would be happy. But nothing really changed.

Kelli’s life has never been easy. She’s always faced her problems head on. She’s strong and savvy and in charge of herself. All of that is about to change.

Her life is turned upside down when she discovers the secret that her mother has been hiding from her for years.

Kelli thinks this is her one chance at happiness. But is it?

Virtually Harmless

Micah lived a quiet, comfortable life, her involvement in law enforcement limited to the composite pictures that she produced with her computer and colored pencils.

But everything is turned upside down when she involves herself in the case of an infant found abandoned in the Sweetgrass Hills.

With the help of her knowledge of DNA and law enforcement contacts across the country, Micah is closing in on a killer. But her investigation draws the killer’s attention, and she finds herself in the middle of an operation that could mean the end of her career—or worse, her life.

I thought I would include a couple of special mentions as well:

  • While Zachary Goldman came from an abusive and negligent family and dealt with a variety of other homes throughout his formative years, one foster father, Mr. Peterson, kept in touch with him over the years, helping him with his photography and providing emotional support. His partner, Pat Parker, has also been a positive father figure for Zachary in the years that he and Mr. Peterson have been together. Both Lorne and Pat get plenty of coverage in Zachary Goldman Mysteries and in the upcoming books in the Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thriller series.
  • In Those Who Believe, Nathan’s father re-establishes contact with him.
  • While Vanna’s father has passed away before the action in Pursued by the Past, Vanna clearly misses him and the role that he played in their family.

And more!

Here are a few more I have gathered together for you.
