IS A FATHER'S LOVE STRONGER THAN THE CHAINS OF SLAVERY? Sudan 2000. The largest nation in Africa has become a killing field. Two million tribal people are dead, victims of a brutal civil war or massacred by their own government in systematic, cold-blooded genocide. But that's not why human rights photojournalist Ron Wolfson is risking his life there. He's chasing action and danger on a different adventure--investigating reports of human trafficking, rumors of women and children who are auctioned off to the highest bidder and then vanish into the brutal shadow world of modern-day slavery. When Arab Murahaleen guerrillas attack a small Dinka village and kidnap a little girl named Akin to sell on the slave market in the North, her father, Idris, goes after her--looking for one child among the hundreds of thousands who've already disappeared--and Ron joins the simple villager in his desperate mission. Ron's brother, a U.S. congressman, wages a battle just as desperate against apathy and indifference to force international political pressure on the government of Sudan, while Ron tracks the phantom story he knows is out there somewhere. Determined to capture on film the horror of human beings in chains, sold like cattle, Ron incurs the wrath of a ruthless slave trader. Now, he and Idris face savage retaliation and a heart-breaking end to their quest. Awaiting dawn and an unthinkable execution broadcast live around the world, the American journalist and the Dinka villager are forced to place their lives and the fate of their mission into the hands of a bloodthirsty mercenary and an orphan boy. Together they forge a reckless plan, their only hope of escape. But it may already be too late. And it may be too late to save the little girl before her innocence is stolen and she vanishes forever into the belly of the beast. READERS praiseSudan (Goodreads and Amazon.com) <ul>
<li>I encourage you to read this life-changing book. Get angry! Get upset! Be grossed out! Somewhere a Sudanese mother is waiting for someone to reach out a helping hand, for her children's sake. Mel "@MamaBuzz"
</li>
<li>The worst thing about this book is that it isn't completely fiction. It grabs you by the throat and won't let you put it down until you've read the last page. You will hug your children closer after reading. K-Mor </li>
<li>This book is not for the faint of heart - it deals with the atrocities committed in Sudan. Ninie weaves a spell-binding tale. One of the things I love about Ninie's books is that she does not feel the need to spruce everything up and make it pretty. E.L. Jenkins "Love to Read" </li>
<li>"Sudan" captured my attention from the first page, and I read through the entire story in two days. This is gripping, emotional storytelling. Bestselling author Eric Wilson, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer

<li>You thought human trafficking on the African continent was long gone. And you were WRONG! Sudan is an action and adventure novel centered on an age-old evil. But the book isn't classic HISTORICAL fiction--about slavery in America 200 years ago; rather it's a suspense filled ride through the bustling slave trade in the African country of Sudan ...TODAY! Even though the facts are historical, fiction books like this one put a face on the brutal horror of slavery, the real human tragedy, when the political world pretends not to see and refuses to take action. And adventure loving readers will revel in the ever-tightening suspense of a masterfully-told historical thriller with high stakes and no margin for error. Sarah Bridges

DON'T MESS WITH A WOMAN WHO BUYS INK BY THE BARREL FACT... In 1989, federal authorities busted what they called the Cornbread Mafia, the largest domestic marijuana growing operation in American history. They confiscated 182 tons of pot with a street value--in 1989!--of $400 million. Federal marshals arrested 56 men in 5 states...but they all came from one small town in Kentucky. FICTION... Somebody murdered Jim Bingham, shot him dead in front of his own newspaper office in the small town of Brewster, and now his heartbroken daughter must abandon the world of academic journalism for the real world of running the newspaper he left behind. But Sarabeth Bingham soon discovers that marijuana-growing has corrupted the idyllic small town where she grew up. The sheriff can't get a marijuana conviction because the county's jury pool is tainted. Her cousin grows weed and has lost his wife and daughter to the world of drugs. Sarabeth finds herself falling for a handsome bourbon distillery owner she's convinced is financing his business with dope money. And a ruthless farmer named Bubba Jamison will do anything--absolutely anything--to protect his empire. After 3 children find dope money in an abandoned building and the dopers kidnap them to get it back, Sarabeth heeds the words on the plaque that has hung above her father's desk for as long as she can remember: "Don't mess with a man who buys ink by the barrel!" In a blazing front-page editorial in the next issue of the Callison County Tribune, Sarabeth declares war on the marijuana-growing industry! Now, the growers have to shut Sarabeth up and she soon learns a terrifying lesson: dopers fight dirty. * * * Home Grown isn't the true story of the rise and fall of the Cornbread Mafia, not from a historical perspective; thrillers like this are too intricately woven to stick to the facts. But the novel is as real as what actually did happen, a mystery thrillers and suspense story with a female protagonist who grabs the reader by the lapels and drags him into the action to live it with her. Sarabeth Bingham isn't the stereotypical heroine of sappy contemporary women's fiction. She is flawed, human and real. She has multiple sclerosis and a past filled with the kind of pain that's the mortar for building walls. Home Grown gives crime fiction a heart--and the face of a red-haired woman who didn't set out to be a hero. READERS praise Home Grown (Goodreads and Amazon.com) 
<ul>
<li>Her books will entertain you and keep you flipping the pages. She pulls no punches, and no characters are safe. But she will also move you emotionally. This is the 4th Hammon novel I've read, and I can't wait for her 5th. Bestselling author Eric Wilson, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer</li>
<li>Ninie has a way of sharing the real happenings of that time period through fiction and protecting the real people involved. I know because I live in the small town she wrote about. ohsolma</li>
<li>Mystery, thrillers and suspense stories and historical thrillers are the genres I most enjoy, and Home Grown has a reality and believability that's rare in crime fiction. I felt like I knew Bubba Jamison and I wanted to choke him. I hurt for the children caught up in it all. The novel may be billed as women's fiction, but I'm a man and it's one of the best dramas I've ever read. B.J. Frye </li>
<li>The fact that this book is fiction, but based on events that actually took place makes it all the more gripping. I was hooked from the very first chapter. This is the first book of Hammon's that I have read. I shall definitely be reading her others. Shirley Ford</li>
<li>Home Grown is based on a true story from 30 years ago but the greed and evil felt very contemporary. Women will identify with the female protagonist, Sarabeth Bingham because she's no superwoman. Her vulnerability moves the book beyond typical crime fiction. Sarah Bridges</li>

Home Grown (Modern Contemporary Fiction)

Women's Fiction

For twenty-five years, Anne Mitchell was enslaved by what she called the "Boogeyman"-images from her lost childhood that appeared in the shadows behind her reflection in mirrors and wine glasses, haunted her dreams and attacked her in screaming night terrors. Fear of facing that secret held her hostage. Like a schoolyard bully, it twisted her arm behind her back and forced her to accept that her life began in the dirt beside a ditch when she was eleven years old. Then the monster shattered her career. And Anne saw him in her dying mother's eyes. With her last breath, Susan Mitchell begged for her daughter's forgiveness. She didn't mean for it to happen, she gasped, but she'll burn in hell for what she did all the same. What did her mother do? Anne has to know. So she has come home to a small Texas prairie town, to live with her crazy grandmother in the rambling old house where she grew up, to take her stand against the Boogeyman. But Anne isn't really prepared for how expensive remembering might be. The cost of her memories could very well be her sanity. She might even have to pay for her past with her life.
