Based on True Stories — Ninie Hammon

Sometimes, adventure comes looking for you.

These probably aren't the books for you if you don't believe that throughout history, ordinary people just like you and me have wandered into adventures they never planned, certainly didn't ask for--and couldn't escape!

But it really happens. That's the truth. And sometimes the best way to tell that truth is with fiction that's as real as what actually did happen.

HOME GROWN

Somebody murdered Jim Bingham, shot him down on he street in front of his office.Now, his college journalism professor daughter must abandon the world of academia to run the weekly newspaper he left behind.

The growers have to shut her up…just like they did her father.

SUDAN
