The Little Tree That Could

International cable TV journalist Charlotte Ansari and her Asperger’s son are caught literally in the crossfire of history when terrorists, the CIA, Mossad (Israeli intelligence) and the Vatican all converge in a pulse-pounding search for two relics that could eviscerate Christianity and forever change the balance of power in the world. Three decades ago, Charlotte’s mother suddenly vanished with no trace. The mystery was never solved. Then suddenly, on the same day that Charlotte’s home is attacked by terrorists, her son receives an email from the grandmother that he has never known.

The coded message catapults Charlotte and her son on a dangerous mission to India and Kashmir to find the only objects that can save the old woman’s life. Unfortunately, Charlotte and her autistic son don’t know what they are looking for. The Shekinah Legacy is a thriller in the tradition of Dan Brown, Steve Berry and James Rollins. In this provocative novel, author Gary Lindberg uses the form of the thriller to explore the limits and perils of belief.

Without warning, along came a stranger strolling down the red dirt road. The prairie pilgrim carried in his hands just a Bible and a Bowie knife. He was not known by the ruthless men and women of the gang. They were perched on the edge of a cliff like a covey of ravenous vultures. The thirteen thieves glanced at their grim leader for a judgment. He took one look at the weary vagabond and shook his head. The humble man obviously had nothing of value… except his soul. Therefore, he was worthless to them or anybody else in this world. “Kill him quietly and then dispose of the body before the caravan comes through here,” the leader boldly ordered without a second thought. “With pleasure,” said the first bloodthirsty thief who was a murderous midwife nicknamed Little Tera. The others silently drew out their knives and swords. The human vultures moved as one onto the road. The simple stranger stopped in his tracks. He did not fear the thieves… for he had nothing left to steal.

I’m Cora Fletcher, a twenty-something book-loving public relations executive, living with my overly Zen best friend and my attention-loving cat. I’m newly single and focusing on my exciting career, so I feel like I’m in a good place. I’ve even been invited on an all-expenses-paid Hawaiian vacation! The only catch? It’s a family reunion… and my family can be a lot to handle.

But I’m determined not to let that get in the way. However, the ohana drama starts even before we board the plane. As usual, there’s my sister-in-law, who’s bent on causing friction, the self-centered cousins, and my aunt who loves to party a bit too much. My mom has filled the itinerary with endless activities, and she’s even invited my ex-boyfriend in a misguided attempt to get us back together.

I feel overwhelmed, but then I get a blast from my past that could change my life forever. This is one reunion I did not see coming…
Will I make it through a week of family togetherness? And will I be able to say aloha to someone I thought was out of my life forever?
