The Things We Do

Prison psychologist Eleanor Hartley knows she has her work cut out for her when it comes to "Jane Doe." Jane was arrested and convicted of murdering two men, but she speaks not a word to anyone. Eleanor sees there is a deeply troubled soul hiding behind the silence. What would make the girl kill two men in cold blood, and then become silent? Eleanor uses her work to distract herself from a vicious betrayal and her own problems at home. And to complicate matters, every time she sits across from Jane she feels something aflutter in her chest. Before Eleanor can uncover the whole truth about Jane's arrest and conviction, author Kay Pfaltz introduces another thread in the women's connected stories: While volunteering at a local animal shelter, Sylvie Marshall hears troubling rumors. Dogs are going missing, and Sylvie fears they're being sold for drug experiments. She vows to protect the helpless animals but doesn't realize the toll her promise will take on her life. Through the intertwined stories of Eleanor, Jane, and Sylvie, Kay Pfaltz explores the lengths people will go to in order to stand up for their beliefs and the redemptive powers of love and understanding. The Things We Do is a psychological whodunit that reveals the importance not only of what people say and do, but also of what they think and feel. "The Things We Do is a story written with heart that is not afraid to look at hard truths, and ultimately offers redemption through truth." -Bernie Siegel, author Love, Medicine and Miracles "The Things We Do is a masterfully written story that kept me turning the pages. Kay Pfaltz writes about the individual to touch the universal, and to touch our hearts with compassion for those in trouble." -Judy Nelson, author Choices and Love Match
