  • Brain on Fire is one woman’s struggle to recapture her identity. Susannah Cahalan woke up in a hospital room strapped to bed, unable to move or speak and with no memory of how she got there.
  • On the verge of adulthood, Susannah had just been hired by a major newspaper and was in her first serious relationship. Hers is a story of a medical mystery. Would she recover? Nobody knew.
  • An award-winning memoir and an instant New York Times bestseller; I couldn’t put it down.

  • Nathan McCann’s dog discovers an abandoned newborn baby while out duck hunting one morning. Nathan wants to adopt the child but the grandmother mysteriously shows and takes the child. Nathan asked her to promise that he could see the child again one day.

  • New York Times best-selling highly anticipated sequel to Everything We Keep, Everything We Left Behind told from one man’s two profound perspectives mystifies the heart and mind.

  • Dressed to kill, Laurel meets Bachelor number one who takes her to a trendy restaurant. While she waits for dessert her date is murdered which made her the number one suspect  for two rough and tumble detectives.
