About this Book
Lydia Netzer's How to Tell Toledo from the Night Sky is a mind-bending, heart-shattering love story for dreamers and pragmatists alike, exploring the conflicts of fate and determinism, and asking how much of life is under our control and what is pre-ordained in the stars.

About this Book
For readers of Helen Simonson and Anna Quindlen, Martha Woodroof's Small Blessings is funny, heart-warming and poignant, with a charmingly imperfect cast of cinema-ready characters. Readers will fall in love with the novel's wonderfully optimistic heart that reminds us that sometimes, when it feels like life is veering irrevocably off track, the track changes in ways we never could have imagined.

About this Book
On the face of it, Emma and Nina have very little in common. Isolated and
exhausted by early motherhood, Emma finds her confidence is fading fast. Nina—
sophisticated, generous, effortlessly in control—seems to have all the answers.
It's easy to see why Emma is drawn to Nina. But what does Nina see in
her?
A seemingly innocent friendship slowly develops into a dangerous game of cat
and mouse as Nina eases her way into Emma's life. Soon, it becomes clear that Nina
wants something from the unwitting Emma—something that might just destroy her.
