Description:
Condensed versions of the following titles: The Winner by David Baldacci, Homeport by Nora Roberts, Flight of Eagles by Jack Higgins, and Then Came Heaven by LaVyrle Spencer. See below for individual synopses.
The Winner: When LuAnn Tyler is asked to take part in a crooked lottery scheme she refuses, even though it could bring her millions of dollars. But when she is framed for murder, the frightened single mother is forced to participate.
Homeport: For Dr. Miranda Jones--after having been mugged outside her own home in the USA--the summons to Italy to authenticate a Renaissance bronze comes as a welcome distraction. Unfortunately, that mugging was only the beginning of her troubles.
Flight of Eagles: Brothers Max and Harry Kelso found themselves fighting on opposite sides in World War II--Max as one of the Luftwaffe's most feared pilots, Harry as a Yankee ace in the RAF. They had been separated as boys, but neither could have predicted the circumstances under which they would next meet.
Then Came Heaven: Browerville is a small town in Minnesota, with a close, mostly Polish, community steeped in Catholicism. Everyone knows everyone else and looks out for each other's children. And there Eddie and Krystyna Olczak have been bringing up their two little girls, Anne and Lucy, and living quiet but fulfilled, loving lives: Eddie is janitor at St Joseph's church and school; and Krystyna looks after their children and does voluntary work. Then tragedy strikes when Krystyna is killed by a train as she ill-judgedly drives across the track. Everybody rallies round to help the bereaved family, including Irene, Krystyna's plain and lonely sister (herself long in love with Eddie) and Sister Regina, one of Anne and Lucy's teachers at the school.
