Kathy Johnson is extremely proud and excited to share her latest work Destination Alcatraz ...
On a clear day, Alcatraz Island looked no bigger than an abandoned barge in the center of the San Francisco Bay. Its faded backdrop of rolling hills and swirling waters circling the solid rock was the Bay’s secondary attraction, next to the majestic Golden Gate Bridge.
As she traveled the Bay that mile and a quarter to find answers to her past, Reade Travis wanted to know if this was the beginning of her future or an end to it.
Whatever happened to Raymond Ratzlaff? That was the one puzzle that had to be solved. Did he die a World War II hero? Did he do hard time on Alcatraz Island? Did the Mafia do him in?
Reade had everything she ever wanted growing up … except a father.
Within a day of her college graduation, she learned the truth about the brief love affair between two teenaged sweethearts—her parents. Determined to discover the truth about the father she never knew, Reade set out on a journey for answers and retraced the life of her father, Raymond Ratzlaff.
Along the way, Reade discovered she had a peculiar step-grandmother, Nadine, with a gift--or curse--for attracting the attention of a ghostly cast of characters. Could this be the reason she was confined to a mental institution for a decade?
Take a journey with Reade and Nadine to discover the truth that will take them from Colorado Springs to the San Francisco Bay and the Island known as Alcatraz.
Destination … Alcatraz.
