About the Book
Mani Feniger wanted nothing to do with the relics of her mother’s life before she escaped from Nazi Germany in 1936. But when the fall of the Berlin Wall exposed the buried secrets and startling revelations of her mother’s past, she was drawn into an exploration-of history and family, individuality and identity, mothers and daughters-that would change her life forever. THE WOMAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH is a riveting, beautifully written memoir that reminds readers of the power of truth, the choices that shape our lives, and the legacy we pass on to future generations.

2013 BEST MEMOIR AWARD –Bay Area Independent Publishers’ Association.
“…a historical and genealogical page-turner! While many books have covered the territory of a search for parental roots, few have pulled it off in such a suspenseful, compelling and sympathetic manner.” –Writers’ Digest Judge

Kevin wanted to know the secrets beneath the sea, but it took a turtle to take him there. On his birthday he was given the key to that kingdom, his very own turtle. He was warned that he must take good care of his turtle, and he promised to do so. But like so many children, Kevin forgets his promise, leaving his turtle to care for itself. With no turtle he could not go on the adventures he had longed dreamed of – visiting the whales, dolphins, rays, swordfish, seahorses, etc. How this young lad learned to care for what he had been given is the tale.

When her younger brother becomes victim to Ridgeview High’s worst group of bullies, Peyton Greene sets out to hire the most feared student in school to protect him. It never occurs to her that the antisocial, two-time senior won’t agree to do it, even for the large sum she’s willing to pay.

Sam Guerra can’t afford to pick a fight at school and risk another expulsion, but after witnessing the beginning of a humiliating locker room beat down, he gets involved anyway. Soon more students approach him with offers of money and requests for protection. Having zero interest in becoming anyone’s bodyguard, he finds other students willing to take his place for the same fee. A growing list of names rapidly morphs into a reason to approach the pretty geek again, and despite the stark differences in his and Peyton’s backgrounds, they begin seeing each other outside of school.

But everything changes when Peyton transforms the list into a bodyguard website for a class project. Not long after go-live, she’s struggling to maintain the burgeoning database of bullied students matched with student bodyguards. What happens next turns the senior class assignment into a non-profit, nationwide project that will ultimately tear her parents’ marriage apart and the town in two as it fuels the hot topic of violence to stop violence in an already divided nation. Her struggle to do the right thing becomes even more complicated when she learns of Sam’s dark past and equally violent present—information that could compromise their relationship, her reputation, and the integrity of a successful, anti-violence project she refuses to quit.
