January and Immortal Works publishers is a great combination. This month's new book is entitled, Swallowed by a Secret, by Risa Nyman. Again, since it's a brand new book, available today, I have not read this particular story. But, I have read many Immortal Works books and there's not one I haven't enjoyed.
What's Swallowed by a Secret about?
Here's the write-up from the Immortal Works website:
One dead father.
One lying mother.
After twelve-year-old Rocky overhears Mom admit her story about how his dad died is bogus, his trust in his one remaining parent unravels. The For-Sale sign appears on the front lawn right after the funeral, forcing Rocky to leave the house linked to so many memories of his dad.
Consumed by the secret and struggling to adjust to changing schools mid-year, Rocky is startled by a familiar voice. Dashing into a restroom stall to hide, the voice of his father tells him that the only way to learn the truth is to return to his old town.
Can you take advice from a dead person?
Rocky finds a real partner in a new friend, Olive, who offers to be his assistant sleuth and help him crack the secret and get his life on track. The pair's schemes go bust, but they embolden Rocky to embark on a journey of risks, eavesdropping and snooping to discover the truth about the father he thought he knew.

I think we all experienced tough times growing up. Life, after all, ism't supposed to be necessarily easy. But, when we read about how others cope and what others go through, I think it bonds us to others, it also helps us deal with our own challenges.
If you think this something you'd like to read, you can check out the publisher's site for the book: HERE. You can also go to the Amazon site: HERE. Help support indie booksellers and book publishers. It's such a cool January thing to do.
