A love story that transcends time itself, a romance that battles with destiny. Peter Vincent, a young stockbroker, journeys into the past to Elizabethan England. He searches for the beautiful and tempestuous Aurea. Finding her, he falls hopelessly in love, but is this to be an ill-fated romance? History says that Aurea is soon to disappear, probably to be murdered. Can she survive? Aurea and Peter have only days to answer that question. They must struggle amidst court intrigue and dark conspiracies, both caught up in a web of danger, deceit, and terrible lies. They must discover why Aurea is thrust into the middle of all this, and before it is too late! Set against the sweeping backdrop of real events, plots, and characters of Elizabethan England, this story is a race against time itself. Even as Queen Elizabeth struggles to keep her throne, Aurea, with Peter's help, must fight to save herself, and her beloved aunt and uncle. Can Peter and Aurea do it? Or are their hopes destined to be dashed and their love to fade down the centuries becoming nothing more than mere Lost Echoes?

When Ben Underwood became blind at the age of two, anyone would have thought he faced a life full of hardship and uphill challenges--a world full of things he'd never be able to see and activities he'd never be able to enjoy. But as far as his mom, Aquanetta Gordon, was concerned, nothing was impossible for Ben . . . and so he accomplished the incredible. Known as "the boy who could see with sound," Ben mastered human echolocation--the ability to detect the size, shape and location of objects through the reflection of sound waves. By clicking his tongue and "seeing" the waves, Ben could ride his bike, shoot baskets, identify objects, and even play video games. Some called it a miracle, but to Ben and Aqua, the real miracles were the otherworldly experiences God gave Ben--physical and spiritual--that others couldn't explain. Echoes of an Angel is the remarkable true story of how a child who seemed destined for darkness brought light to the world. It's the story of a single mom who encouraged her son to push beyond his limits, even as her heart clenched with protective love and fear.
