Everything We Never Knew: A Novel
by Julianne Hough
Surprising and Heartwarming story of personal growth (7/30/2024)
I dove right into the fascinating idea of energy fields and was surprised to find a story of personal growth. It is an original idea that engages you from the first page. It also has an interesting spin on going through a significant change. While the experience of Lexi requires some imagination.. the messages are universal. A great read for anyone will to suspend some reality and enjoy her path.
The Flower Sisters
by Michelle Collins Anderson
Explosions, Funerals and Family Secrets (3/11/2024)
The Flower Sisters was a great read - based on a little know true story of a dance hall explosion in small town Missouri. The plot and characters felt familiar but at the same time unique. The many narratives easily crossed many ages and stages of life and tied into a cohesive narrative. Anderson brought us into the funeral business, small town dynamics and family secrets slowly... so the reader could savor the unfolding of the story. I appreciate her bring this little-known story back into the public consciousness. Great first novel.
