The Great Escapee Series by Bonnie Lacy

Endorsement for Released, Book 1 ~

“A curmudgeonly ex-con senior citizen, a little girl named Bea, and her addict mother. An unlikely trio crosses paths on the road to redemption from their pasts in small town Nebraska—with a little help from above. With true-to-life grit and characters you love to love (and some you love to hate), RELEASED is a fresh slice of hope in a world of injured souls."  

—Tosca Lee, NYT bestselling author of Progeny

In Released:

Ex-con. Nobody cares … except a tiny girl named Bea.

Clarence was locked up in prison for sixty years. Now he’s free in a nursing home. Still imprisoned by his angry heart. He’s been set up.

Bea’s mommy, Katty—brutally abused by a former boyfriend. She follows her family’s tradition for living and parenting. Until the boyfriend comes back for their daughter.

In Rescued:

A pool—sink hole, really—in small town Nebraska. It’s either a blessing or a curse, depending on the heart of the person who explores it.

Ex-con Clarence and germaphobe Noell, are both being drawn to the pool. Clarence finds a yellowed newspaper article about it, stuck in his old law textbook. Noell stumbles across journals, documenting pool drownings back in 1937, in her vintage camper.

Both dive in—or rather, Clarence falls in.

Neither bargain for what they find.

In Restored:

Clarence is set up. Again.

Just when he and Harold Dexter scheme to create an agency—Harold is the detective, and Clarence the put-em-away lawyer—Clarence is dragged away to prison … again.

This sets off a string of events: Katty digs through Clarence’s files to find a way to free him—only to be confronted with the shock of her life, and with Clarence out of the way, evil Phil has free access to Katty and his little girl, Bea.

Noell has to face her own nightmares and the reality of her gift—or is it a curse?
