Another book I am really looking forward to reading. Certainly says something about the mothers, if they have someone who does all the hard work for them.

Wow! I've got to read "The Help." Many of my relatives did the very thing described in the Teaser. Truly, they loved those kids like their own.

It begins publishing as it's written this week. http://LegendOfWolfboy.com/ Reviewers can contact the site for a review copy before it's public. —————————————
Dusk was deepening toward another dark summer night and the chilly mountain air felt like frigid fingers running down their spines.
A near-full moon began to peak through the majestic mountain pines that dominate the western slope of the California Sierra Nevada mountain range, adding to what was already and eerie atmosphere.
“It was seven years ago today,” Ryan growled, his voice breaking the silence on this starless night, June 13, 1995. “The car radio said severe thunderstorms were threatening to hit the Sierras, but the Jacksons were set on going on their annual family vacation to Shaver Creek.”
Great teaser! Looks like a really good book. My teaser's at The Crowded Leaf.
