In Leading Through, the dynamic struggle between two competing paradigms of leadership is compellingly illustrated: an old paradigm that involves control and power over people versus a new one that enables and inspires power through people.

Angels fall. Mortals rise.

Set in a small town that keeps its secrets tidy, We Weren’t Alone unfolds in multiple points of view, each carrying one piece of what happened before the rain-slick overlook and the fall no one saw the same way. A neighbor. A bartender. A sister. And a few voices that don’t always agree with themselves.
