Riches to Rags
By Sandra White
Mirror Publishing 2008
Riches to Rags is the story of a mentally ill street person--Dr. Merritt Hall-Davis, known on the street as "Molly." Merritt is born into a wealthy family, and for a while she is a successful physician, as well as a happy wife and mother. But outbursts stemming from her mental illness disrupt what had been the perfect family life and drive her to a life on the street.
Riches to Rags covers a wide array of human emotions. It is a love story and a tragedy; it is a tale of hope and hopelessness; and it is a story of great courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Available through any major bookstore, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com

An Absolute Gentleman
By R. M. Kinder

“An impressive debut novel… Her chilling portrayal of Blume, a dispassionate professor at a ‘backwater university’ in mid-Missouri who happens to be a serial killer of women, rings true to a spooky degree. He can be an absolute gentleman or an absolute terror.”
--Dale Singer, St. Louis Post Dispatch.
