After losing everyone she loves, concert pianist Liesl Bower has nowhere to go but to escape into her music. Searching for the peace she usually finds in her concertos and sonatas, Liesl can’t shake the feeling that she is being haunted by her past . . . and by someone following her. When she spots a familiar and eerie face in the audience of a concert she’s giving for the president in Washington, DC, the scariest day of her life comes back to her with a flash. It has been fifteen years since Liesl watched her beloved Harvard music mentor assaulted on a dark night in Moscow and just as long since the CIA disclosed to her that he’d been spying for Russia. She had seen that man–that eerie face–the night Professor Devoe was attacked. And now he’s back–and coming for her.
On the run and struggling to rely on the protection of CIA agent Ava Mullins and handsome newspaper reporter Cade O’Brien, Liesl learns she is the prey of an underground cell of Russian KGB agents determined to restore their country to its former Soviet might. But what she doesn’t know is that she is in possession of something–a piece of sheet music–that Russian intelligence is now frantic to find. Inside that music is a secret code, the hidden transcriptions of her deceased mentor, that clearly identify a Russian mole operating inside Israel’s Department of Defense, a mole with enough power and access to execute a daring assassination that no one would see coming.
Caught in a deadly conflict between American and Russian undercover agents, this innocent young pianist is just trying to survive her own personal trauma. Through it all, Liesl must learn that no matter how dark her world grows or how fiercely her enemies pursue her, God is still in control–if only she can yield herself to His grace.

My Thoughts
Duffy writes an inspiring story of one young woman’s courage in the face of fear when the past she thought was behind her collides with her present. She successfully draws you into her story where you find intrigue and suspense along with a depth not often found in books with these elements.
Liesl Bower is an accomplished pianist who is so successful she is invited to play for The President. That alone speaks of her talent. She lives a solitary life now that most of her family is gone and her music is her life and constant companion. That is until she has some unwelcome visitors from the CIA. Fifteen years before, her mentor and teacher is murdered right in front of her, accused of being a Russian spy. He accidentally passed along a secret code to her that she has remained completely unaware of until now.
Liesl’s life as she knows it changes in an instant as the pressure is on to find the code in her Grandmother’s home that she hasn’t visited in more than a year. There she will meet a friend in her Grandmother’s tenant Cade. An unlikely interest is sparked at the most inopportune time. Will they be drawn together or torn apart by the code? Can she find it? Will the CIA leave her alone if and when she does? The fate of a nation lies in her hands.
Duffy weaves her story together in a powerful climax leading to an ending that does not disappoint.

My Thoughts
Ever go somewhere and you just didn’t feel like dragging your “big” everyday purse along with you? I have! Often! As a mom of two we are constantly on the go and while there are many occasions where my huge purse is a necessity I have 
equally as many occasions where I need to keep my hands free and my possessions close.
Personally I think that a purse can make or break your outfit and you appearance. You need a purse with versatility and style. You need a company that will offer a variety of styles, colors and patterns to fit your every outfit and your every situation. Which is one of the reasons why I am a big fan of the sak and sakroots. Each purse is exquisitely crafted and they offer a very cool vibe that is somewhere between trendy, city chic and bohemian. Even their style screams versatility!
I received the Artist Circle Flap Messenger to review and I appreciate that I was sent the black flower. It is so me! A rich black background showcases an array of vibrant red and purple flowers. Beautiful and striking. The Artist Circle Flap Messenger comes in three color options (Black Flower, Natural Peace or Red Flower). I think you know which one was my favorite?
I recently had a meeting to attend and wanted to look pulled together without going over the top. Throwing a nice pair of jeans, red wedge high heels and a red sweater seemed to do the trick. The final “perfect” detail? My Artist Circle Flap Messenger of course!
Whether you find your style more closely matches the sak, sakroots, or Elliott Lucca…you are sure to find the perfect size, color, fit and style.Take advantage of the super web pricing and score a phenomenal purse.
