This is the first of Susan's books that I have read. I enjoyed this book and have another favorite author.
Fool's Gold is a typical small town. Everyone knows everyone and their business.
Patience is 14 and has a crush on the new kid Justice. Only 1 morning Justice was gone, as if he had never lived there. It turns out that Justice was in witness protection because of his dad. Years later Justice returns to town. Patience is now a single mother of a 10 year daughter. Justice has been in the military and now is a body guard/special forces, who is planning on opening a business in town.
Can they work through everything?

THE APPEAL by John Grisham
This was not a bad story, but I found it long. It took me more than 1 try to complete it.
Krane Chemical had a chemical plant in Bowmore, Mississippi; a rural area.
Bowmore has the largest cancer rate in the country, due to the illegal dumping from the Krane plant.
Wes and Mary Grace Payton successfully sued Krane for their client, Jeannette Baker whose son and husband have died from cancer. In the process, they lost almost everything and the care may bankrupt them. But, Krane Chemical will not take this sitting down and proceeds to find a candidate to run against a Mississippi Supreme Court Judge. With above board and not above board money they make sure their person wins. With the understanding that he is against liability cases.
The story starts with everyone waiting in the verdict all the way to the Supreme Court ruling.

PIRATES by Linda Lael MILLER
Linda writes historical novels, which I am starting to enjoy. This story has a twist.
Phoebe divorced and now out of a job is at a loss as to what to do. She gets someone else's mail, an advertisement for a free trip to the Caribbean; all she has to do is look at the condos for sale. She decides to do it, if only to get away.
Get away she does, all the way back to the 1700s. While at the hotel/condos, which were not in great shape she stumbles upon an elevator that transports her back to the time the states were fighting for liberty. And meets Duncan, a patriot. They fall in love and are married. She tries to explain modern day America to him.
Then they end up back in the elevator being sent to the 1990s.
Where will they end up?
This took some getting into for me.
