I recently asked a question on The Nana Files
Facebook page. What is your favorite ‘Vacation from Reality Book’? While I did
not get a huge response, I appreciate everyone who participated.
The
following are two of our favorite vacation reads. I have included the books' descriptions and a few reader reviews.
Madison Henry has been skating as long as she’s been
walking. Coached by her mother, Annie, she is on her way to the Olympics. Jack
has been her one friend since she was six years old and now a young adult,
Madison is oblivious to his feelings for her. When tragedy strikes, Madison is
forced to look at her life differently…and accept one without skating. Only
after she opens her heart does she understand the sacrifices Annie made,
realize the depth of Jack’s love and know she was blessed in every way. Before
I Go spotlights the thrill of women’s ice skating, the unbreakable bond a
mother and daughter share and the one true love every person hopes to
experience in their lifetime.

Riley is a very talented writer, great story line,
wonderful characters...fell in love with all of them! A wonderfully moving
story!
In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.
Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura
will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. But just as lightning
illuminates, darkness always follows close behind.
Is it fate...destiny...or something much more dangerous?

Laura Shane has been a haunted woman all her life. From a violent
delivery in a stunning thunderstorm, to her mortifying days in the
orphanage. Someone has been looking out for her, keeping her safe and
out of danger, from the womb...but what are these stranger's intentions?
Does he really mean her well? Just where does he come from, and why
doesn't he seem to age?
Now, Laura is a happily married woman with a somewhat happy life. But that's all about to change, because now someone has come to kill her...and the stranger, her guardian angel, will expose himself for who he really is. Will Laura believe him? Can she trust him? Will he actually keep her safe this time?
Dean Koontz scores yet again. "Lightning" is a science fiction/suspense/romance thriller to top all others. No one writes like Koontz, no one can hope to write like Koontz, and "Lightning" is a perfect example of his craftsmanship. A riveting novel that'll leave you glued to the pages and wanting more.
