In these years of war on terrorism, we are reminded of selfless heroism as we continuously pay tribute to our fallen soldiers killed in lands far from home. Men and women, who have sacrificed their lives and futures for God, country, family and friends. What drives an ordinary person to do extraordinary things in times of war? Why do people step up to the plate so willingly when called upon to do their duty? And even more significantly, what happens when everything they believe in fails? At the crossroads of humanity, faith and beliefs are shattered. The victims of atrocities can never forget what they have endured, so as long as victim and perpetrator seek retribution against the other, true peace can never be achieved. What's the answer?

My heroines search for the key to everlasting peace in these three tales about TREASON and TRIUMPH.  

"In this series, Bonnie Toews brings to light heroines who overcome betrayal and perilous odds. She takes readers behind the scene to show how atrocity strengthens the human spirit to survive unimaginable conditions in three spy novels teeming with dramatic intrigue."

RITA GERLACH, author of Surrender the Wind.

NOVEL IN PROGRESS: Excerpt 

Main Theme: Betrayal and Honor

Story Line: The United Nations lost face in Somalia, and it's not about to do it again in Rwanda. Into this cesspool of world politics steps Kendra Warren, 48-year-old TV broadcaster, hot on the trail of a drug scandal using UN peacekeepers as guinea pigs. At the heart of the scheme is a half-brother she has never known. As she and her producer disembark the cargo aircraft at the Kigali International Airport in Rwanda, mass slaughter erupts, and the peacekeepers shepherd them into their UN Compound. There, they are forced to listen to the nightmarish screams of people massacred outside. Underpinning the UN disaster is the assassination of a former Allied spymaster. How the two tragedies and Kendra's secret heritage mesh becomes a pulse-racing tale of lies, betrayal and retribution. It all begins when warriors march to the devil's drum.
