From the author of 'Ezekiel's Wheels' and 'It's Not That Hard To' comes the true crime novel Now I Lay Me Down. Ten years ago, two little girls went for a walk down a dirt road and never made it back home. Their brutal murders sent a sleepy Oklahoma community into a spiral of grief and sparked the largest investigative pursuit in OSBI history. Pressure mounted when the investigative team ruled out an exhaustive list of suspects and the remains of another young woman were discovered in a smoldering fire. The untested Assistant District Attorney, not long out of law school, found herself heading up a "War Room" assembled by officials to catch the killer. This is the true life story of three murdered girls and the Oklahoma woman who pursued their killer.

Book Description
When Eileen Munro's mother became pregnant at 16, she was told to give her baby away to a 'good family', but the couple who paid the fee at the Salvation Army mother-and-baby home in Glasgow in 1963 turned out to be alcoholics who neglected and physically abused Eileen. Then, when their marriage broke down, they failed to protect her from sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend. After watching her adoptive mother drown on inhaled vomit, Eileen and her younger sister were taken into care, but her nightmare was to continue as she was subjected to further physical, sexual and emotional abuse. At the age of only seventeen, seven months into a secret pregnancy, she decided that the only way out was through a bottle of painkillers; when she survived and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, he became her lifeline.

Book Description
From the author to the reader: Show-and-Tell was the very best part of school for me, both as a student and as a teacher. As a kid, I put more into getting ready for my turn to present than I put into the rest of my homework. Show-and-Tell was real in a way that much of what I learned in school was not. It was education that came out of my life experience. As a teacher, I was always surprised by what I learned from these amateur hours. A kid I was sure I knew well would reach down into a paper bag he carried and fish out some odd-shaped treasure and attach meaning to it beyond my most extravagant expectation. Again and again I learned that what I thought was only true for me . . . only valued by me . . . only cared about by me . . . was common property. The principles guiding this book are not far from the spirit of Show-and-Tell. It is stuff from home—that place in my mind and heart where I most truly live. P.S. This volume picks up where I left off in All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, when I promised to tell about the time it was on fire when I lay down on it.

Book Description
In Now I Lay Me Down Alone, a pastor shares personal anecdotes and the stories of others to illustrate how spirituality and faith can help in dealing with death and the subsequent journey through grief. While focusing primarily on spousal loss, Lee relies on over forty years of experience in pastoral ministry as he shares godly answers to the difficult questions that arise when an earthly life closes. In the role of pastor, he has stood over the casket nearly one hundred times, witnessing the pain of those left behind, drawing upon all he knows about the promises of God and His book of hope in order to provide comfort. While providing how-to directives, poetry, lyrics, and quotes from religious leaders and others, Lee shares the stories of everyday people who have walked directly into the agony of losing someone close and come out on the other side knowing that God has walked beside them every step of the way. Now I Lay Me Down Alone leads anyone traveling through a journey of grief to realize that comfort, understanding, and friendship come from not only those who surround you on earth, but also from up above.
