About this eBook

A senior scientist for a national pet drug manufacturer, Veterinarian Helen Williams' passion is developing life-saving medicines for dogs and cats. Married with a baby on the way, Helen couldn't be happier—before two tragedies strike: a miscarriage and the death of her husband. Drowning her sorrows in scotch and faced with losing her job, Helen sinks into an ocean of grief before finding the strength to rebound. Just as her world appears brighter, the yelp of a dog in pain draws her into a dark urban park, where a confrontation with a homeless man leaves her battered and bloody. Fighting to reclaim her dignity, Helen decides revenge will be the hammer that forges her future, opening the door to a new job and a rekindled romance with a man from her past.

About the author

Bruce Lewis graduated from California State University at Long Beach with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. After completing the 36-week Copley Newspaper Training Program, working as a reporter for six California daily and weekly newspapers, he began a seven-year career as a general assignment reporter.  During that period, he wrote over 5,000 stories and won six awards for best news and feature writing. He specialized in crime news, going undercover with cops and covering the courts, sheriffs, California Highway Patrol, and fire districts. 

His post-retirement bucket list included writing one novel. That novel, Human Strays (published originally in November of 2021 under a different name and title), was intended to be his one and only. Like most writers, he got the fiction-writing bug. He subsequently wrote and published four novels in three years: 1-Angel of Mercy, 2-Human Strays, 3-Family Curse, and 4-The Red Flock, and the novelette Love Storm. He is currently working on his fifth novel in the series, Bless Me, Father—For You Have Sinned.
