They haven't spoken for decades, torn apart by a dark family secret from their past, and only communicate through the terse and bitter notes they leave for each other in the hallway. Debbie, an American woman, is searching for her birth mother. She has little time left but as she sets out to discover who she really is and what happened to her mother, she is met by silence and lies at the local convent. With the bank threatening, Ella tries to save the family home by opening a café in the ballroom much to Roberta's disgust. And when Debbie offers to help out in the café, the war between the sisters intensifies. But as Debbie finally begins to unravel the truth, she uncovers an adoption scandal that will rock both the community and the warring sisters. Powerful and poignant, The Ballroom Café is a moving story of love lost and found.

His fighting skills are needed as he fights the Rouge Black Gold Companies. The story line in this 1st book introduces Mr. Borg. His employer, Pops, is the President of the World Order. He is also aided by Granma. She is the brains behind the World Order. (See her introduction at www.50upfitness.com). She is assisted by a Russian retired Cold War Nuclear Physicist Mr. Stargazer. He becomes the Head Physicist at Area 52, where the 2nd Fusion Reactor Relay Complex is.

No use of oil, coal or gas. Book one introduces some of the main characters and the main aims of the World Order. How the W.O. will slowly spread its influence throughout the World, - Mainly with developing its alternative energy sources. This book has many connotations, with its tongue in cheek approach to Politics, through its reported WTF TV and Head Cover TV news broadcasts. HINT: Sai gets blown up in Chapter 4; however, you the reader are lead to believe that Sai is okay?? – So can you spot the subtle hints from Chapter 4 to Chapter 14, Can the reader pick up on whether Sai is okay or in a Coma?? (After the explosion, he is always tired, gets frequent headaches, says, “where have all the birds gone?” Yes between those chapters, nothing is as it seems. (But can the reader work it out). This book is written mainly from Sais Point of View; however, Pops and Granma also have a chapter on their points of view. The main antagonist Mr. Ivan White also has a chapter from his perspective. The writer uses the I said She said, simple-ism style of writing, because it is easy to follow, great for person’s who have English as their second language and it is also a smoke screen to hide what is really happening. Yes reading simple writing can actually fool the reader. Read this book to see how. As shown in other fictional writings such as, “Game of Thrones, “a specific Glossary of meanings is added. The words aren’t all proper English, nor are they meant to be. To set ones writing apart, sometimes one needs to step out of the square.
