What I expected to happen, didn't. What happened, I didn't expect. Laman manages to keep the suspense up throughout the book very successfully. It was hard to put it down because I wanted to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next. I can guarantee, the ending of Kathryn's Beach will definitely make you want to read the sequel High Tide." — Irene Watson, US Author of The Sitting Swing "Kathryn's Beach reminds me why I like to read." — Terrie Berg	[view back cover] publisher Cactus Rain Publishing ISBN-13 978-0-9823321-0-8 copyright date 2009 genre fiction/contemporary format soft cover number of pages 232 price $19.95 Sale Price $15.95 trilogy trailer [view at full size on YouTube]	title Kathryn's Beach (1st book of the trilogy) author Nadine Laman synopsis Kathryn abruptly ends a self-imposed five year exile to return to Los Angeles. Friends and a cryptic letter written by a powerful man push Kathryn to reconcile a deadly mistake from the past. Who says, "You can't go home again?" Sometimes that is exactly what must be done. But, is it worth it? author Nadine Laman Nadine was born and raised in Los Angeles County, California, during the turbulent winds of social unrest - which explains the eternally optimistic belief that we can have a better world. She graduated from Arizona State University School of Social Work at a time when social work was a vehicle of social change that could not be ignored. In the tradition of Irish storytellers' wit, humor, tragedy, tongue-in-cheek satire, her characters' strengths and weaknesses are exposed to further explore the human drama in which we live. Nadine prefers to write in a personal voice for the protagonist - a much more enjoyable style for herself - and, she hopes for you. She currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. more titles by Nadine Laman High Tide Storm Surge author's links Nadine Laman Books First Draft blog
