FOR THE LOVE
OF MY ENEMY
It’s 1944. The world is at war. Safe within the confines of the small town of Windsor, eighteen year old Nurse Adina Robbins works alongside her father, Dr. Henry Robbins, a complex, fearful, and troubled man who has hidden the truth of his Jewish ancestry for many years. Adina strives for her father’s approval and affection, and longs for more than the doldrums of her small town nursing life.
On a warm June day, Adina’s best friend coaxes her to go with her to spy on the new German prisoners at Camp Windsor, a P.O.W. camp located within their small town. Little did Adina know that her life would change that day, as she encounters a kind, young prisoner named Daniel Christensen, a German soldier, conscripted by force, with a deep hatred of Hitler and his fascist ideologies. He will change Adina’s life, and open up her heart to know what it means to be truly loved. As her passion for the young prisoner intensifies, Adina will need to confront her fears, as well as her father’s lies, even if it means letting go of the One she wanted most.
“Love has the power to make us do things we never thought we were capable of doing.”

NORA BRITE
Alien? Angel? Hero
The small town of Citrus Grove doesn’t know what to make of Nora Brite. She’s different, odd, otherworldly, and she can’t seem to fit in. Nora’s mother, Ava, struggles to provide for them, cleaning the homes of the wealthy folks who live in the nearby Citrus Hills, and by entertaining the occasional mystery man at night.
Despite cruel taunting from some of her classmates, Nora finds refuge in her good friend, Gabriel, a guiding star, and an unusual bond with a stray dog named Goldie.
One evening, in her beloved orange groves, Nora witnesses an unthinkable crime. Afterward, only shadows of memory remain to plague her when she least expects it.
As she grows up, Nora navigates the trauma of that fateful night with the support of a kind detective and a few new friends. Yet, dark shadows remain.
Filled with mystery and magical realism, Nora Bright seeks to capture the adventure and uniqueness of the 1970’s, and a magical world as seen through the eyes of a very special girl.
Nora Brite is the first book in three book series.
