Five Minutes on Charles Street

It happened in just five minutes . . . Saraphina Landry-Shay is an independent, smart, "stupid-happy" New York lawyer on a mission to bring justice to the wrongly imprisoned. But on her very first solo case, she is barely able to stay upright in her power chic stilettos. Continually distracted by the vibrant characters of the West Village, Charles Street apartment, and her dashing boss Lance Vega, Saraphina must decide if she wants to maintain her illusion of happy while simultaneously watching her life run wildly out of control. When some of her quirks prove costly and real danger is the threat, Saraphina must choose between her idea of happy or the consequences of her misguided, feeble control-choices that could very well cost the happiness or lives of herself and the people she has come to love. "Totally captivated, start to finish. That was my experience reading Jami Amerine's novella. She is a brilliant wordsmith, weaving the profound, humorous, and intrigue like a perfect tapestry. I couldn't put the book down and can't wait for more." -Shelby Spear, author of "How Are You Feeling, Momma?" "Between her refreshing authenticity and eye-opening perspective, I'm always left wanting more of Jami's words to chew on. And her delivery, always full of hilarity, helps me let go of worries and just enjoy the escape from the real world. If you ever see a book with Jami's name on it... grab it!! You'll never be disappointed." -Carey Scott, author of "Unafraid" and "Raise a Hallelujah" "Sassy, sweet and fun, with just the right amount of mystery and romance mixed in! Jami Amerine writes with refreshing (and often snort-laugh-inducing) authenticity. 'Five Minutes on Charles Street' is the perfect weekend read which will leave you both satisfied and eager for more!" -Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, author of "Joey, the Pawverbs Devotional Series" and "Project Solomon"
