When a thief begins stalking Shandon, her Capital City neighborhood, Ivy rallies her friends, other neighborhood pets, to help her sniff out the thief.

Asphalt Angel revolves around Megan Cross and Ashley Summers, both high school seniors in rural Kentucky. On May 13, 2005, they are en route to West Virginia for a getaway weekend courtesy of their friend, Lindsey Farley. Lindsey has been engaged to Robert Williams since she graduated from high school the previous year. Their wedding reception is to be held at an historic haunted hotel, where Megan and Lindsey are staying for the weekend. Although close friends, the girls are polarized by environmental factors encountered earlier in their young lives. Megan was a big-city gangbanger before moving from Ohio to Kentucky. She often responds quickly and inappropriately to difficult situations. Conversely, Ashley is a small-town Christian girl, who strives to teach Megan the love of Jesus Christ. Their lives heat up when the girls stumble onto a gang of young criminals, who make and distribute bootleg whiskey. Megan is captured and nearly killed before being rescued by Lindsey’s new husband, who is also a state trooper. Afterwards, Megan rethinks her relationship with Jesus Christ and wonders where she would spend eternity if she had been killed without the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

My best friend Skippy shared my life for seventeen wonderful years. When we were children, my brother Harvey crawled through cobwebs on his knees into a dark cellar to save the lives of nine puppies and their mother. We placed them on my bed alongside their mother and later gave all but one to caring homes. Harvey named our puppy Skippy. Soon our beautiful collie shepherd Skippy grew into a wonderful friend, enriching our lives with his protection, loyalty, and devotion. I'll always be grateful to my brother Harvey for saving Skippy from that cold, dark cellar.
