The Man With the Green Suitcase by Dee Doanes
What does...

A prostitute,
A corrupt businessman, and
A disfigured young woman
Have in common with a mysterious, old
homeless man who carries a green suitcase?


The old man comes into people’s lives because it is important for them to experience the visions that he is somehow able to show them—visions that even he doesn’t understand. But whoever he connects with will go through a transformation that will change the course of their life, for better or worse. The old man has no memory of who he is or even what the suitcase holds.
This story is magical realism, realistic with paranormal elements, a mystery that needs to be solved, and a man and woman who will finally realize that they were meant to come into each other’s lives and remain forever.

Roots of Indifference is like no other novel ever written. Its unusual epic saga: One of a kind. It's a fictional/ historical novel, true-based on murder-mysteries that were never solved during the 1910 era on the border dividing two countries: United States-Texas, and Mexico.  The novel "Roots of Indifference" is the winner of the 2011 Pinnacle Award in Literature History; and is a gripping, thought-provoking book and a page turner with sci-fi supernatural involvement and superstition having the reader wanting to read more. 

A passionate forbidden love full of lustful, explicit actions becomes a romantic explosion, involving Victoria and Juan; two unforgettable characters that go beyond the limits to be with each other—including murder. This is a novel that will stay and linger long after you read it. It's a story that needs to be told about the turbulent times during those dark years of indifference.  Check it out, you’ll be amazed!


Roots of Indifference is avialbe to purchase on Amazon and Barnes and Noble
