Two Skips of a Stone
Author: Matt Braunlin
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525599240
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
After reluctantly accepting a somewhat mysterious job to be a “history teacher” in Kenya, 33-year-old Jason Roberts finds himself working for a secretive organization and on the receiving end of life-changing information: Humanity will be wiped out in less than a century. The source of this information is a Time Traveller from 2102, who reached back in time as far as their technology allowed—just eighty-five years. The only hope for changing this apocalyptic future offered by the Time Traveller is if World War Two can be prevented. But to do this, a second Time Traveller must complete a jump back to 1935 to compel the British government to take pre-emptive action against Nazi Germany. When Jason is told he has been chosen for the mission, he struggles with the overwhelming responsibility, the consequences of what saying no might mean, and his own doubts that he is the best man for the job. As Jason receives intensive mission training and tries to come to grips with the ethics of what he is being asked to do, he finds his strained sanity strangely dependent on his video chats with his best friend back home—an eccentric, zen-filled, weed-smoking, self-proclaimed hippy chick named Markie. Yet even with her support, Jason finds himself wondering if he will have what it takes to pull the trigger on the time machine. The first book of the “Operation: Eleanor” trilogy, Two Skips of a Stone, is a fast-paced, character-driven novel that will both thrill and entertain, asking what you would do if duty called.

Birdie’s world is forever changed when she discovers the lifeless body of a fisherman on a Scottish beach. This tragic event brings back haunting memories of her older brother’s mysterious disappearance from her family when she was just eleven years old. Birdie was told to forget him, and eventually she did—until that day on the beach when she knew that she must return to her Native roots, to find her brother Gerald. Birdie’s quest takes her from the Scottish Highlands, where she has found love and family, to her British Columbia hometown to seek the truth about her brother and her ancestral history. As a Métis woman, she must grapple with her Indigenous heritage, a legacy she’s been raised to conceal, and mend the fragments of their family. However, to achieve that goal, she must risk everything to navigate a challenging path of racism, betrayal, and her own guilt. Her exploration of a painful past leads her into the path of an old murder, a wrongful conviction, and a relentless murderer intent on burying his crimes at any cost. While Birdie navigates her way through a labyrinth of secrets, the inconvenient truths of the historical and contemporary experiences of Indigenous people emerge. Her pursuit of the truth becomes a transformative odyssey, both for her lost family and for herself. As Birdie confronts her fears, she uncovers answers—about family, reconciliation, and love.

Book Description
She had been abandoned as a baby and now she was doing the abandoning. That house and family she left behind. Her guardian had died suddenly. It was grief that drove her away as a teen. At least that's what she told anyone who would ask. However, that wasn't the reason. She kept a secret locked up inside her never to resurface. Only one other person knew and she was going to keep it that way. Katrina told herself she would never return to that house, but after an intriguing phone call from the lawyer handling her guardian's estate she found herself facing her past and her fear. "No big deal" Katrina tells herself, she could handle anything. She didn't expect this small town lawyer to be a handsome, sea-eyed charmer with suspicion in his every action. Katrina ignores his strange ways until a phone call comes late one night and leaves her without a word. "Her body was found" Katrina's confidant says. That's impossible. It couldn't be "her body." Would her gruesome secret be revealed? What would keep her afloat? Could her salvation be the handsome so-called lawyer?
