The second book is called Outrun the dark by Cecilia Bartholomew. I am not sure what this story is about, I scanned over the first few pages, and it has to do with an 8 year old girl who hit her four year old brother with a wrench and was placed in a group home. At the beginning of the story she had been in an institution for13 years, but then it flashes back to when she was 8. I am sorry I can't tell you more, the jacket cover is missing. The pages have yellowed a little but the book is in new condition.

The third book is called Trial by Fire by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. This book is also missing the jacket cover so I can't tell you much about what it is about. It appears to be about a lady lawyer trying a suspect on a lesser charge, because he had gotten away with a horrific crime a few years earler. This book is in good condition. The top left corner of some of the pages and the cover look like they may have gotten wet. They are still completely readable and just show a light stain.

The fourth book is a paperback from Readers Digest which includes two different stories by 2 different artists. Summer Harbor is by Susan Wilson. As a child, Kiley Harris loved summering at her family's old beach house and spending time with her friends Mack and Grainger. But in August of her eighteenth year, disaster struck. Now, twenty years later, Kiley is returning for the first time since that summer? Will old wounds be reopened? Or will she discover the gift of a second chance?
