Two from the Heart, by James Patterson, et al. A duo of heartwarming stories from Patterson and several collaborating writers. In the first, Anne McWilliams has lost everything. After her marriage falls apart and a
hurricane destroys her home she realizes that her life has fallen out
of focus. So she takes to the road to ask long lost friends and
strangers a simple question: "What's your best story?" Can the stories of others show her what she's missing?
In the second, Tyler Bron seemingly has it all-a successful company and more money than
he knows how to spend. But he has no life. So he hires a struggling
novelist to write one for him. There are no limits to the fictional
world that Bron's money can transform into a reality, and he soon
becomes the protagonist of a love story beyond his wildest imagination.
But will Tyler Bron be able to write the happy ending himself?
For Patterson fans who feel like taking a break from his multitude of series.
Also available in Large Print.
Any Day Now, by Robyn Carr. Second in Carr's new Sullivan's Crossing series (following 2016's What We Find), Carr's new novel welcomes readers back to the rugged campsite at the crossing of the Colorado and the Continental Divide trails, where travelers could be looking for a simple weekend getaway or pausing on the path to something greater.
For Sierra Jones, Sullivan's Crossing is meant to be a brief stopover. She's put her troubled past behind her but the path forward isn't yet clear. A visit with her big brother Cal and his new bride, Maggie, seems to be the best option to help her get back on her feet. She's surprised by the warmth of the welcome offered her, and settles in to enjoy...until her past catches up with her and she has to make some hard decisions about love and future plans. I'm a fan, and I have been waiting rather impatiently for this!
Anything Is Possible, by Elizabeth Strout. For fans of Strout's bestselling works Olive Kitteridge (Pulitzer Prize winner) and My Name is Lucy Barton, this latest work is a must-read as Strout examines the richness and complexity of human emotions through a cast of remarkable yet ordinary characters whose stories are vastly different, though interconnected. Two sisters make sacrifices that they believe will lead each of them to their separate ideas of happiness. A janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help. A grown woman longs for her mother's love even as she comes to terms with her mother's happiness living abroad. And we revisit Lucy Barton as she reconnects with her siblings after their seventeen-year separation. Guaranteed to be a favorite.
