About Clean Break
Clean Break by David Klein
Can you make a clean break from the past for a fresh start on life?
After repeated attempts to get her husband to move out, thirty-four-year old Celeste Vanek makes the fateful decision to leave behind her damaged marriage and beautiful suburban New York home while her husband is away seeking treatment at a gambling rehab center. She moves to a small rental across town and establishes a new routine, works to gain financial security, and helps her troubled young son navigate his escapist fantasy life. But then her husband Adam returns, insisting he is cured and wanting his family back.
Clean Break follows the colliding lives of complex and flawed characters, delivers compelling suspense and psychological drama, and will keep you turning the pages to its surprising and emotionally satisfying conclusion.

About Stash
Stash by David Klein
Gwen Raine has it all: She’s an attractive, stay-at-home mom living in a tranquil community where everything seems right—yet so much can go wrong.
It’s a typical Friday morning in late summer, and Gwen is anticipating a weekend away at the lake with her husband, Brian, and their two young children. After dropping off her daughter at swim class, Gwen drives across town to purchase a small bag of marijuana from Jude, an old boyfriend. On the way home, she gets into a car accident that leaves her bruised but the other driver dead. The local police can see the accident isn’t her fault, but when they find the pot in Gwen’s car, they throw the book at her. There have been problems with drugs in the schools, and the police are determined to crack down.
Told from multiple perspectives and driven by psychological suspense and an escalating plot, this ambitious and deeply satisfying novel examines the moral complications that arise when one’s determination to do the right thing collides head-on with human fallibility and desire.
