03/21/16: 'Tears Of Abraham'; At-Home Eye Exams; Stephanie Evanovich; Cole Pepper

  Tears Of Abraham

The first Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history, but the second civil war is worse.

That’s the premise behind Tears of Abraham, a new novel by Jacksonville author Sean Smith. 

The book - which will be released Tuesday - tells the story of the next American Civil War through the eyes of heroes, villains, and innocents. And in today’s increasingly polarized environment, the author says it's not as impossible as it seems. 

Sean Smith joins us to discuss his new novel.

At-Home Eye Exams

At-home eye exams are becoming a popular option for those looking to avoid going to the doctor. New smartphone apps give you the ability to test your vision and get a prescription from an ophthalmologist from home.

But some ophthalmologists say these exams could potentially put your eyes at risk, and don't offer other important tests.

Dr. Amit Chokshi, ophthalmologist with Florida Eye Specialists, joins us with his thoughts.

Stephanie Evanovich

New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Evanovich first saw success with her novel, Big Girl Panties.

Now she’s back with a funny, sweet, and sizzling novel about love, redemption, and second chances.

Evanovich appears tonight at the Book Mark in Neptune Beach to talk about her latest tale.

We speak with her about her new book.
