  1. Echoes of Family by Barbara Claypole White; A compelling, honest, sympathetic look into the struggles of Marianne, a  bipolar young woman, and the lives of the people she loves, as she confronts her past in order to heal herself and her unorthodox family.
  2. The Education of Dixie Dupree by Donna Everhart; Dixie Dupree is a sassy, tall-tale-telling, resilient 11-year-old who is confounded by adults in her life who hurt her instead of caring for and about her.
  3. The Things We Keep by Sally Hepworth; a magnificent, poignant story about a young woman diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
  4. Burying the Honeysuckle Girls by Emily Drake Carpenter; a compelling, heart-wrenching story about Althea, who, in order to escape the sad fates of the women of her family who preceded her, must unravel the mysteries and horrors of her family.
  5. Broken Pieces by Kathleen Long; breathtakingly beautiful book about redemption, forgiveness, and love, filled with lovely characters that will touch your heart.
  6. The Peculiar Miracles of Antoinette Martin by Stephanie Knipper; take a fascinating story filled with complicated but loving characters and sprinkle in some magic, and you will get this glorious novel!
  7. Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult; one of the most powerful, important, heart-breaking books I’ve ever read; a story about racism and its effects on its victims and perpetrators.
  8. Ghost Gifts by Laura Spinella; Aubrey Ellis has a remarkable gift that helps the dead Rest In Peace, but her ghost gifts are poised to deliver anything but a normal life.
  9. Folly Cove by Holly Robinson; an enthralling story about families…the things that drive them apart, secrets that threaten to upend their lives, and the love that binds them together.
  10. At the Edge of Summer by Jessica Brockmole; an engrossing, beautiful story of love, friendship, war and retribution.
  11. The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman; exquisitely written, the author weaves together the stories of Martha, a beautiful young courtesan in Paris in the 19th century, and her granddaughter Solange, a young woman discovering who she is at the onset of WWII.
  12. Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti; a riveting, edge-of-your-seat thriller about Zoe, a young woman living a dream life in Manhattan, but terrified that her past is catching up with her; a story that will keep you guessing until the end!
  13. Promised to the Crown and its sequel Duty to the Crown, by Aimie Runyan; these two brilliant books tell the stories of the brave young women who settled in New France in the 17th century; although full of hardships and heartache, the women also find love and friendships and a future full of promise.
  14. Love, Alice by Barbara Davis; achingly beautiful book about a young woman, Dovie, who discovers the power of forgiveness, hope, and the love a mother feels for her child.
  15. The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle; a masterful story, full of suspense and heart-pounding moments, but with an emotional, tender touch.
  16. All The Breaking Waves by Kerry Lonsdale: a mesmerizing, heartfelt book about family secrets, lost love, and the sacrifices we all make for the people we love.
