Thermes, Jennifer.


"Emma Gatewood's life was far from easy. In rural Ohio, she managed a household of 11 kids alongside a less-than-supportive husband. One day, at age 67, she decided to go for a nice long walk. and ended up completing the Appalachian Trail. With just the clothes on her back and a pair of thin canvas sneakers on her feet, Grandma Gatewood hiked up ridges and down ravines. She braved angry storms and witnessed breathtaking sunrises. When things got particularly tough, she relied on the kindness of strangers or sheer luck to get her through the night. When the newspapers got wind of her amazing adventure, the whole country cheered her on to the end of her trek, which came just a few months after she set out. A story of true grit and girl power at any age, Grandma Gatewood proves that no peak is insurmountable."-- "Emma Gatewood's life was far from easy.

Where the forest meets the river

Bowring, Shannon,


Includes reading guide. "It's been five years since Bridget Theroux's death shocked the small town of Dalton, Maine, leaving behind husband Nate and daughter Sophie, now a vibrant young child. Nate doesn't always know how to answer her questions, but he is intent on raising her with joy--and shielding her from her grandmother, Annette, who remains dangerously locked away in her grief. After his first year away at college, Greg Fortin is back in town for the summer to work at the family store. It's expected he'll take over the hardware business eventually, but finding the words to tell them no--and the truth about who he is--has become his own Everest. Rose's abusive ex, Tommy finally disappeared a few years ago, though sometimes his presence in the eyes of her oldest son unnerves her. She and Nate are finding themselves drawn together by their children's playdates, and into a delicate balance between friendship and the possibility of more. And Trudy and Bev, always so sure of their love for each other, find themselves rocked when Trudy's husband Richard suffers a heart attack, bringing into focus all the guilt she has felt about their empty marriage for years. Shannon Bowring demonstrates once again that she understands exactly where the heart of a story lies. Where the Forest Meets the River is a poignant return to the small town of Dalton, whose inhabitants continue to startle and humble both themselves--and us."--

You'll never find me

Brennan, Allison,


"Working alone as a private investigator is tough. Estranged from her PI family, Margo Angelhart does what she must to get by--including taking on sordid cases that pay the bills, even if she'd rather be helping those the justice system has failed. That is, until a cheating husband case she's working intersects with her siblings' corporate espionage investigation, forcing Margo to cooperate with the Angelhart firm. Now, as the siblings compare notes, it's clear they need to work together before a white-collar crime escalates to murder. With far more questions than answers and a key suspect on the run, they'll need the whole family to pitch in. But as they investigate the ever-twisting mystery, Margo isn't sharing everything. Can she learn to trust her family and heal their once-close relationship before her secrets put those she loves most in danger?"--

The water women : a novel /

Blaylock, Bonnie,


A powerful, emotional, and redemptive novel about the interwoven lives of mothers and daughters and the bonds of an ancient craft that link them through two world wars and beyond. In 1930s Sardinia, Allegra and her daughters maintain the tradition of the water women. As it was for the generations of Jewish mothers and daughters before her, weaving the fine threads of mollusks into golden cloth and tapestry is an honor, a duty, and a precious gift to an outside world that seems bent on turmoil. By 1942, a threat comes to their sleepy fishing village. Germany has pressed its boot on Italy. Allegra's daughter Zaneta notices boats she's never seen before anchored off the shore. As her family withdraws from the once-unified community, their island home sinks into a fog of fear and suspicion. Then Zaneta meets a German deserter. With the encounter comes a secret that will haunt Zaneta forever, and in the years to come, her own daughter, Mira, as well. For three women, the threads of the byssus weave a story of love, war, loss, and hope that will challenge them and bind them through the most trying times of their lives.
