means to find a higher power. It’s about two young women—a cynical recovering
alcoholic and a slightly dim kleptomaniac—who meet a mysteriously
blank third woman and wind up working at a roadhouse containing a caged
lion. The beast becomes a catalyst to the womens’ emotional growth, creating
a compelling, tender, unexpected and ferociously witty journey readers
should pounce on.

Have you ever loved and lost Have you ever
stopped and wondered if you will ever love
again
In What We Leave Behind, we are thrust
into the life of Jessica Parker when she is only
sixteen and submerged in a balmy summer
romance with Jonas Levy, a medical student
six years her senior. But when Jonas leaves
her, Jessica is left to deal with much more
than just a broken heart. As we follow Jessica
through her life, landing first her dream job and then her loving husband, she
seems to finally have it all. But like many of us, over time, Jessica questions
whether her marriage can stand the test of time … until she gets a phone call
that could change everything. Each word of What We Leave Behind invokes
raw emotion as we are brought deeper into the soul of a woman that could
be any of us. This book is a truly moving story that will echo strongly with
any woman who has had to face love and loss, life and death and everything
in between.
The Art Of Fielding
by Chad Harbach

Fear not, this is not your average baseball book. While centered on a collegiate
baseball team and its players, this is a splendidly-written novel about
the metaphor for life and all its dreams, struggles, ambitions, and disappointments.
It’s what happens when a simple throw goes fatefully off-course
and how the rest of the game, the season, and the shortstop’s life take on a
whole new path. Harbach writes lyrically about the game of baseball while
weaving in the stories of five people whose lives are upended by an errant
pitch. It’s a great read about teamwork, family, friendship, love, and ambition,
and all the limits that come along with them.
