Hudson Catalina by Linda Merlino FREE October 25/26


Hudson Catalina by Linda Merlino

One day has the power to change a life forever… 
During a Nor'easter that pounds Cape Ann, Massachusetts, Hudson Catalina—wife, mother and breast cancer victim—makes her regular chemotherapy treatment despite a loss of hope, then sets off in the family's old pickup to find all-occasion decorations for her daughter's fifth birthday party.
But fate has other plans for Hudson.
At Whales Market, she meets Willy Wu, an autistic grocery cart collector, and Ruby Desmond, the storeowner. Destiny has brought the three together to be taken hostage by a killer more brutal than any form of cancer.
Now Hudson Catalina must face her darkest fear—her demon…death.
