Hands of Fate
…follows Dr. Evan Baylor, a respected neurosurgeon whose life begins to unravel as the weight of his past collides with a dangerous secret. Haunted by the death of his sister Rebecca and driven by a deep hatred of men who abuse and destroy others, Evan has quietly taken justice into his own hands, using an experimental drug to punish those he believes have escaped the consequences they deserve.
But as several patients die under unusual circumstances, Evan’s carefully controlled world begins to fracture. His sister Lorraine’s worsening Alzheimer’s unlocks disturbing fragments from their childhood, while panic attacks and buried memories force Evan to confront the truth about the family tragedy that shaped him. At the same time, the people closest to him face dangers of their own, pushing Evan’s need to protect them to its breaking point.
Between Laughter and Loss
It’s more than a memoir—it’s a love letter between sisters. When Theresa is diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, she chooses to face her final year not with fear, but with humor, courage, and a fierce devotion to her family. Through late-night talks, tender moments, and laughter that bubbles up even in the darkest hours, her younger sister Annette bears witness to both the heartbreak and the beauty of this journey.
Told with honesty and heart, this story is about resilience, sisterhood, and what it truly means to live fully in the time we’re given. It’s a reminder that even in the shadow of loss, love and laughter can light the way forward.
