Mating for Life
by Marissa Stapley
Good Beach Read (4/4/2014)
A novel about coupling and uncoupling, about mothers and daughters and sisters, husbands, wives, and lovers, and the unexpected twists life and relationships often take. The story is told in alternating voices; I almost wish there had been fewer voices, though, as I wasn'tmore
Glitter and Glue: A Memoir
by Kelly Corrigan
A Gem (12/10/2013)
Reading Kelly Corrigan's writing is like sitting down over coffee and dishing about life with a close girlfriend. Her latest memoir, Glitter and Glue, delves into the fraught relationships between mothers and daughters, and how, to a great extent, woman rarely understand ormore

The Light Between Oceans: A Novel
by Margot L. Stedman
An Incredible Debut Novel (7/24/2012)
This story drew me in from the first page. Compelling and provocative, it raises many questions about right and wrong, and the human heart's capacity for love and forgiveness. Gorgeously written - the people and settings sprang to life from the pages - it's really anmore
