M
ore than 23,000 Coloradans will be diagnosed with cancer in 2014. Relay For Life gives you, your family and your friends an opportunity to fight back wahile honoring those who have been touched by the disease. The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease. Events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers during Relay. Funds raised at Relay For Life enable the American Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer across the state of Colorado and beyond by offering a number of free programs and services available to cancer patients and their families, including: • ROAD TO RECOVERY The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer and who do not have

BOOKENDS Always Watching by Chevy Stevens
Dr. Nadine Lavoie is a psychiatrist working in the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit when Heather is brought in after a suicide attempt. As Nadine works with her patient and begins to piece together her story, she realizes they have something in common. They both were involved with a remote commune and the leader, Aaron Quinn. Nadine is troubled as she realizes that although Quinn’s name brings feelings of terror, she cannot remember why, nor can she remember large pieces of the time she spent in the commune as a child. Will she be able to find the answers to her own problems? PAM: When I saw this book, I was immediately drawn to the story. We have read a book by this author in the past (Still Missing), which I enjoyed. So, I was excited to read another story by this author. This book captured me and drew me into the mystery from the beginning. Becky, did you find yourself drawn into the story? BECKY: Recently a friend told me that she spent several years at a commune during her childhood so this topic grabbed my attention from the start. Fortunately she had a wonderful experience but that is not the case in this story. Nadine has chosen a career that puts her in a position to help heal others but her own life is a bit of a mess. One of the most upsetting aspects was her daughter who is struggling with drug addiction and living on the streets. This character touched my heart throughout the story. Was there one character that you gravitated to? PAM: I didn’t feel that I gravitated towards one character, although I enjoyed the complexity of the different characters. I felt for the main character, Nadine. She had so much wrong with her life and was trying to figure out what happened to her, her daughter, and so many aspects of her past. Nadine was new to the area and hospital where she worked. She began to lean on the support and newfound friendship of a fellow doctor at the hospital. Did you enjoy Kevin’s character? Did you feel this part of the story fit into the plot? BECKY: Kevin was a kind and patient person which is exactly what Nadine needed. I did enjoy his part of the story but it was a little too perfect for me. I preferred her brother’s character much more. He was as broken as Nadine and I liked the complexity of their relationship. This story has quite a few characters and a twisted plot. Did you enjoy the speed of the story? PAM: The different aspects, characters, and pace of the story certainly kept me hooked! I did enjoy the twists and turns of the plot, as well as the characters. I could see some of these coming, but others were surprising and unexpected. Did you feel that the storyline was predictable? Or did it keep you guessing? BECKY: Like you, I could see parts of the storyline before it was exposed so it certainly didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat. Yet, the topic and the way that this author lets the story percolate, instead of throwing everything at you at once, still makes this a good psychological thriller. If I had to recommend one of her novels though, it would have to be Still Missing. Which did you prefer?
July 2014
PAM: I think I would pick this one if I had to choose one. I was very intrigued with the cult and the shady characters that were involved. The way the cult and the leader had absolute control over the people that lived together was very upsetting. I cannot imagine how helpless the family members on the outside felt knowing that their loved ones were being manipulated and were beyond their reach. Did you feel the same way, Becky? BECKY: It would definitely be hard to accept if my child were living in that environment. We hear about this type of control in the news occasionally and it is hard to imagine how people become involved in a lifestyle where they give an organization so much command of their life. In Nadine’s case, she had to live with constant fear for her daughter, whether it was her life on the street or in the commune. Next month we will read a mystery that involves a boy with a rare medical condition that makes him fatally sensitive to UV light. He is free to explore outside when the sun is down and others are within their homes. A tragedy will rock his cul-de-sac and neighbors’ secrets are exposed during the investigation. 11 CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE
