ANGELS AT THE TABLE
MACOMBER, DEBBIE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is never done, especially during a time as wondrous as
New Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New
York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides
midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after
bumping into each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. They immediately hit it
off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as
quickly as they’re brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to
reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the head chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful
columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two have not forgotten their one
serendipitous evening—and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the
angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief.

ANNA FROM AWAY
MACDONALD, D.R.
When Anna Starling flees a dissolving marriage in California to save herself and her artistic career in Cape
Breton, her life intersects with that of Red Murdock, a cabinetmaker who has recently lost the great love of his
life, Rosaire. Surrounded by old ghosts and echoes of those who once lived in this isolated, now depleted
community, Anna and Murdock discover that the present is inextricably linked with the past, and that both can
lead to moral dilemmas. How grave is sexual betrayal? Who is behind the bale of marijuana that washes up on
Anna's shore, and what should she, an outsider, and Murdock, rooted in this place and attracted to her, do?

ANOTHER SUN
WILLIAMS, TIMOTHY
On a plantation in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, a man's body is found in a pond, riddled with bullets. The
victim is Monsieur Calais, a wealthy land-owner. Within twenty-four hours, a suspect is arrested. He had been
making death threats against Calais, claiming that land had been stolen from him, and the gun used to shoot
Calais was found buried on his property. This, coupled with the fact that the man had just returned from a fortyyear
exile in French Guyana for murdering his wife, is enough to convince the gendarmes of his guilt. Anne
Marie Laveaud, a French-born judge who has recently been transferred to Guadeloupe, is called in to make a
ruling. With a keen sense of compassion for the accused, she must navigate the world of Caribbean justice—
very different from what she was used to in France—to confirm her suspicion that all is not as it seems.
