Marks the start of a great writer's career

This book was a great surprise to me years ago when feminism was considered radical and scary by much of society. Miner used the format of mystery to tell a story about women's rights as well as revealing what is often the paradigm for the way women are treated in the university setting. Her writing style reveals the tip of the iceberg to a body of work that deeply influenced me. It's great to reread it over 30 years later and see the seeds of her writing.

good book, annoying writers habits?

waaay too many cut off sentences, as in a sentence would stop because something else happened i.e door opened and someone walked in. but apart from that, quite good!

gritty and flowing novel

Publisher's Summary:

Marietta Collins, a former nun, becomes enmeshed in the tragedy of a brutal murder. Marietta, now the head of a youth drug rehab center, is dedicated to ridding the community of the growing criminal element. The victim of a suspected mafia hit was her friend Joseph Gleason who was a drug informant. During the course of the investigation, she meets the victim's brother, FBI assistant director Raymond Gleason. There's an instant attraction between the two. He becomes her first lover and their romance blossoms into a deep love for each other. Raymond gives FBI agent Jerry Young, who is also his best friend, the responsibility of investigating the murder and hunting down the mafia's kingpin. Marietta and Jerry have a brief clandestine affair that they are both later sorry for. Jerry, haunted by his guilt for his violent past, turns to his childhood mentor, a mysterious Cherokee shaman to save him from the burning fires of lust and his desire for vengeance.

Also involved in the search for the murderer is Detective Riley, a tough, trash-talking female cop, formerly with the NYPD. She discovers that her new boss Sgt. Sorrento is on the take from the mob. Other minor characters help tell this gripping story.

This is an action-packed mystery and love story that also examines the conflicted emotions of the characters as they try to make sense of their lives through the web of crime, darkness, and light.

Very interesting, well written crime story with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Enjoyed reading it very much

Five Stars

A colorful earthy crime story with plenty of action.

Full of Surprises by Very Interesting Characters

This author knows how to tell a tale with lots of twists and turns. Iâm not sure why I was surprised at some of the content, but this former nun can write a story with the best of them. I laughed, I cried and when I couldnât get to sleep, I just stayed up till dawn when I finally finished. I had been under the impression that Marietta would be the primary character but much to my surprise, it really was Jerry who carried the load. Barney, former cop turned PI whose hobby is cooking, was a delight to follow and someone I would want on my side in a pinch. The story never got bogged down even though it did, at times, leave me wondering, âNow where did that come from?â As is to be expected, the good guys win, but not before a lot of blood is spilled, tears are shed, and a really good guy leaves this world. Overall, this is a very well-written book and Iâd love to see more from Upton. Sheâs a gifted storyteller.

Good Story--Interesting Characters

I had he privilege of editing this book and found it fast-moving and fascinating. I enjoyed the layers Elizabeth creatively employed and the surprises along the way. I've already recommended it to my friends and colleagues who enjoy a good story told through the eyes of interesting characters.

Fun

A little contrived but a fun and captivating story.

Publisher's Summary:

Arizona is a land of beauty, racial diversity, and politics. Arizona is a land of poverty and great riches. Arizona is out of money. What happens now? The state has told the Federal Government it no longer wants Federal dollars. They have taken control of their destiny under the velvet collar of the Constitution of the United States. The borders are theirs to control, education is theirs to control, and some people don't like the change. What happens now?

Members Reviews:

Happy immersed!

State of Defense reads like a cross between and Ayn Rand novel and a modern western. It has the fierce independence and hopeful goal of liberty despite the obstacles and oppositions while avoiding the postmodernist deconstruction of the heroes, ideologies, and events. Like Ayn Rand and many westerns, there is a certain melodrama and larger than life style to the characters and events, with a little bit of the "don't look behind the curtain" handwavium that glosses over realism in favor of moving the story along. It is refreshing and beneficial to both the reader and the story. It took me back not only to the joy of discovering Ayn Rand (even though I am jaded to her now), but also the joy of Robert Heinlein's youthful and hopeful fiction of libertarian independence and the celebration of lives that will not submit to mediocrity or majority rule. It may not be every ones' cup of tea, and the snooty types might balk at either the very occasional typo, or the simplicity of the heroes' commitment to their ideals, or the melodramatic style that might not seem 'realistic' compared to the postmodern grittiness of 'hard' novels. The heroes of this book, if they were real, would not care. Nor would it to those that this novel speaks deeply to. It spoke deeply to me in the very midst of its fun-loving, easy reading, unbridled hopefulness. I look forward to the next installment.

Wonder what would happen if this actually came about

It started out slow but got interestng about mid-way through.

I would recommend to anyone who wants a good adventure sprinkled with ...

Doug Ball hit the nail on the head with this novel. What would happen if a state actually had a governor that had the guts to refuse all federal aid with strings attached and close its borders? Well written with a lot of thought put into the consequences of such an action. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good adventure sprinkled with the politics of said actions.

Fantastic read!

Really enjoyed it! Could not put it down. A great story about what should be current events.

Publisher's Summary:

An exciting mystery by the masterly Ellery Queen.

Police captain Bartholdi sometimes indulged himself in a harmless fantasy. His thoughts, he would imagine, were irresponsible imps that wriggled out of his head and scampered around with an abandon that was often embarrassing. A woman had been kidnapped. The woman was dead. Bartholdi was convinced that a murderer was at that moment having a grim laugh at his expense. He knew who the murderer was. He would have bet his pension and his sacred soul that he knew. But he could not, knowing, prove what he knew. He needed confirmation of one critical point. From among his antic imps, he culled the three that had directed his mind to its present state: one newspaper too many, a girl who slept too soundly, and, most important of all, a ragout with too many onions.

Publisher's Summary:

"I hate you. I hate you with all of Sylvia's heart."

Helen has waited for months for the heart that will save her life. After reaching out to the grieving mother of her donor heart, Helen realizes that a second chance comes at a price. The price, she soon realizes, is much steeper than she'd ever have chosen to pay.

There's more than one way to break a heart. There's more than one way to destroy a life.

Members Reviews:

Great Short Story

What happens when you are waiting for a heart transplant? This story is a short story, but I felt really detailed and intense. Helen had been waiting for months for the beeper to go off telling her that a heart has been found. During this time she was trying to live her life but was scared. Then the beeper went off and they had a heart for her. Yeah so awesome, you would think, but then she decided she wanted to meet the Mother of the person she received the transplant.

You would think that it would be simple just meet the mother and thank her for the heart, but you would never think of what happens next. You will have to read the book.

I felt the author did a great job of writing this short story, there could have been more, but there wasnât any reason. The book tells it like it and I thought it was great.

This is the 2nd book I have read from Donna Brown and canât wait to read more. Makes me really like short stories.

A matter of the heart

Artist and housewife Helen, is a recipient of a heart transplant. Despite the doctor's warning, Helen reaches out and encourages a friendship with the donor's mother, Marian. At first Marian comes off as sweet and a bit distraught -- but soon becomes unbearably imposing, as well as rude and demeaning to Helen. Marian's behavior escalates, boarding on insane and creepy.

The writing was very smooth and the flow made the book a quick read, but I was disappointed by the end. The final scene is a major one, but it petered off, leaving me wanting for more.

*I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

A solid thriller

I have just started reading thriller/women's fiction stories, and I must say I really like them. I just finished The Girl on the Train, and now this one. Donna Brown's Losing Heart is a fast-paced, Fatal Attraction-feeling thriller, which blends guilt, loss, compassion, and outright psychosis into one solid story. I definitely rooted for Helen as she confronted Marian and also feared for her safety. In fact, there's so much in this novella, I almost wish it were a book instead, so Ms. Brown could have spent more time expanding on the end a bit.

Great ideas that need more work

I'll start by saying that this is a terrific plot, a great idea. Helen has a heart transplant but gets more than she bargains for when the mother of the donor invades her life. Marion Chambers does so in such a way that at first the reader feels sorry for her, then thinks she's a bit full-on, then realises that there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. That was good - I didn't expect it. Losing Heart would make a great thriller film (something like The Hand That Rocks The Cradle) - or a novel. The problem with the book I've just read is that it's crammed into novelette length.

We find out at the beginning of the story that Helen is having an affair with her doctor, Jack.

The Illuminati are pansies, the Board of Directors is coming to get you!

This was an OK book. Like many of doom & gloom books there was a bit of technical story telling as well as biblical teaching, both of which will rub some people wrong.

I really wasn't taken in by the story at first but in the end I did start to care a little about the characters and I'll probably buy volume 2 if it ever comes out. I'm sure some people won't like the conspiracy angle but hey, that's why it's called fiction.

This was a really good book!!

This was a really good book!! Held my interest all the way through. I didn't want to put it down. Really enjoyed the characters and the story line.

Can't wait for the next one....

Was disappointed that I have to wait for the next book in this series. Loved the book. I had never read anything by this author before, but this one tops my list of SHTF books by far.

this was an exciting story and kept me anxious for the conclusion all the way through. I am hopeful the author will keep up the momentum in a continuing episode.

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times best-selling author Gerald A. Browne's suspenseful disaster novel about a massive mudslide along California's southern coast.

The people of Southern California worship the sun, but their idol has forsaken them. For more than two weeks, rain has fallen on this earthly paradise, destroying crops, loosening the ground, and sending coffins into backyards, forcing rattlesnakes out of their nests into people's homes. As the punishing weather continues, people start to panic. After all, a little rain never hurt anybody - but a lot can kill.

The Seaside Supermarket near Laguna Beach is doing brisk business when an earthquake hits and the ground begins to slide. Among the customers are architect Frank Brydon, who is dying of cancer; a hotshot Hollywood producer; and a young couple on a road trip that's supposed to save their relationship. As the earth shifts, the store slips down the hill face, coming to rest under a mountain of mud. With his knowledge of structural engineering, can Brydon lead the survivors in a desperate race against the clock to escape being buried alive?

Awesome!!!

I read this book a long long time ago. And had been trying to find the Author of the book and name for some years. Was really happy to find it by going to a site and giving a preview of what i remembered and the site gave me the Author and name instantly. Just gotta love google!!!

It is a very evolving type of book! I like the way it just jumps from beginning to end!!!!

So so read

Nothing about diamond industry Story seemed to drag along and did Mott have usual unexpected changes in plot or surprises. Not his best

Three Stars

Not as good as his previous work but still definitely worth reading.

Not His Best

I am a fan of Gerald Browne, but this is not his best effort. The story contains incongruities and the ending is abrupt. If this is your introduction to Gerald Browne, don't give up. Check out Stone 588, Hot Siberian, 18mm Blue, or Green Ice. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Waste of time
