An Amazon #1 Bestselling Historical Mystery and winner of 5
Literary
Awards, including the 2012 Reviewer’s Choice 2012 Award! In a story that’s been compared to John Grisham’s The
Client, eleven year-
old Ethan Allen Doyle has witnessed a brutal murder and now
the boy is
running for his life. In the time-tested tradition of
Southern Fiction,
Crosby unveils the darkest side of human nature and then
rewards her
readers with this beautiful tale of love, loss and
unexpected gifts. Olivia Westerly is the only person Ethan Allen can trust,
and he’s not too
sure he can trust her. She’s got no love of children and a
truckload of
superstitions—one of them is the belief that eleven is the
unluckiest
number on earth. Spare Change is a quirky mix of Southern flair, serious
thoughts about the
important things in life, the adventures of a young boy and
a late change
of heart that makes all the difference in an unusually
independent woman.
More than anything, it is a heartwarming book which is
simultaneously
intriguing and just plain fun. Seattle Post Intelligence Like a moth to a flame…Crosby deftly brings out Southern
culture through
the narrative voice and her use of language and
imagery...reminiscent of
John Grisham’s The Client, with boy who is the only witness
to his
parent’s murder. The Uncustomary Book Review Love, loss and unexpected gifts…Told from multiple points
of view, this
tale seeped from the pages and wrapped itself around my
heart. The
Caffeinated Book Review Heartwarming story about a strong woman who learns life’s
greatest joys
often come in the form of the very thing we reject. Book
Pleasures Rapidly Unraveling Mystery, enjoyable storyline, lively
dialogue. Every
Character is well-defined and believable. Reader Views Bette Lee Crosby has the unique ability to write characters
that will
absolutely melt your heart...A Book and A Review Fantastic characters and story flow… Even though this was a
murder
mystery, it was an emotional story filled with romance and
friendship.
Looking for more books by this author. Hollis Bookshelf A Feel-Good Must Read…The way Spare Change is written is so
totally
engrossing it was hard to put down. Turn your phone off;
get yourself a
big cup of hot chocolate, a soft comfy blanket and an
overstuffed chair. I
absolutely recommend this one. So, what are you waiting
for? Michele Kerr,
