However, this time it is an evolving serial killer anomaly that relentlessly searches for, hunts down, and ingeniously traps his victims before unleashing his fiery rage.

They have very specific plans for her, whether she likes it or not.</p><p>Everything teeters on the edge of reality, as Stone must battle for her life between a hired assassin and an arson serial killer. Lines are drawn on both sides of the law. Friendships and lovers are tested.</p>

Briarhopper is a touching and well told family history. I especially liked what the author wrote in her postscript, &quot;A life does not have to be celebrity-laden or even particularly newsworthy to be important to others. It only has to be lived.&quot; <br /><br />This was a charming glimpse of a real life, lived well.—Chris Lear, Paso Robles, CA
