Unputdownable and eye-opening story of how opioid addiction of a teen boy affects a family of 5, from the POV of his younger sister. It‘s heartbreaking holding onto hope when that‘s all you CAN do. Complex dynamics, loss, grief, and adolescence.

Happy Sandwich Day! When my old 1960s BHG cookbook fell apart, my daughters got me a new edition. Here‘s a sandwich 🥪 with Thanksgiving leftovers flair 🦃

Told over a single day in Paris of 1927 this story weaves together the moving tales of four disparate souls, in a stunningly beautiful way

“The murders took place on a hot summer night, but to Juniper it would always be winter in Jericho.”
First book of November. Surprising ending to a small town double-murder mystery.

Vickers does a remarkable job blending together the characters, settings, and subplots in this mystery. 18 yo Callie has just lost her dad when she finds a young girl hiding near her home. The girl is forlorn, lost, burned and disheveled; and not verbal. Calli calls her Ash.
