Description

<p>FBI agent Alexis Toles is dispatched to New Rochelle, New York, to investigate threatening letters sent to Congressman Christopher O’Brien, and to protect his ex-wife, Cassidy, and six-year-old son, Dylan. But when she gets to New Rochelle, Alex discovers that there is more to the situation than simple stalking or political agendas; she finds that she has growing romantic feelings for Cassidy—and that the feelings are mutual.</p><p>As Alex and Cassidy explore their budding romance, they must surmount many obstacles in explaining their relationship to those around them, including Dylan. All the while, the investigation continues, and the disturbing, convoluted, and complicated web surrounding the threats begins to unravel, placing the characters’ lives in grave danger.</p><p><i>Intersection</i> is a taut political thriller that combines the action and suspense found in hit television shows like <i>24</i> with the insight and drama found in the widely popular fiction of LGBT authors such as R. E. Bradshaw and Stacey D’Erasmo. It is sure to appeal to fans of intrigue, mystery, and romance, and to provide positive role models for marginalized groups and relationships.</p>

Story Behind The Book

The story was inspired when Cheryl's son Dylan had a difficult time weaning off of the pacifier. She wrote a nursery rhyme about The Paci Pixie to help her son. Her cousin and co-author Amy Perreault suggested they write a book to accompany the nursery rhyme. Her husband, Steven Perreault, a graphic designer created The images in the book. Also another family member, Lynne Hajjar, Amy's sister can be heard singing the nursery rhyme and speaking the audiobook. The work is truly a family affair.

The story, the illustrations, the incredible attention to the tiniest details gave me goose bumps and a sense of awe with every page we turned. My daughter quickly overcame her fear of losing the paci because the authors transform that fear into a magical journey. This book is perfect for baby showers and new parents everywhere!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Paula Lekas <span class="costumer-title"> - Plaistow, NH</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>The Paci Pixie is a wonderful book for any child facing the fear of not using their pacifier anymore. My children love the book, illustrations and nursery rhyme. My daughter is seven and never used a pacifier, but she still loves the story. My three year old was very fearful of losing his pacifier, but after reading the book he said he now wants to see The Paci Pixie take his very soon. The story is soothing and beautiful with wonderful illustrations!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Jennifer Sherman <span class="costumer-title"> - Stratham, NH</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>My sister read The Paci Pixie to her three-year-old son who used a pacifier to help him fall asleep. She explained it was time for the Pixie to take his pacifier away to sprinkle it with pixie dust and prepare it for another little boy or girl. My nephew was so excited to help a younger child fall asleep before reaching “big boy” age, and he hasn’t used a pacifier since.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Margaret M. LaFauci <span class="costumer-title"> - Stoneham, MA</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>This magical little Pixie knows just what to say to help your child feel good about growing up and giving up his pacifier. It is a wonderful resource for parents and pediatricians.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Dr. Irving J. Newman, MD FAAP <span class="costumer-title"> - North Chelmsford, MA</span></p> </div>
