Today's post is all about books! Here is my list of book suggestions for this Fall season.
Enjoy!
1. Little Fires Everywhere
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned -- from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren -- an enigmatic artist and single mother -- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town--and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
2. On the Street Where You Live
Following a nasty divorce and the trauma of being stalked, criminal defense attorney Emily Graham leaves Albany to work in Manhattan. Craving roots, she buys her ancestral home, a Victorian house in the seaside resort town of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Her family sold the house in 1892, after one of Emily's forebears, Madeline Shapley, then a young girl, disappeared.
As the house is renovated and a pool dug, a skeleton is found and identified as Martha Lawrence, a young Spring Lake woman who vanished several years ago. Within her hand is the finger bone of another woman, with a ring -- a Shapley family heirloom -- still on it. Determined to find the connection between the two murders, Emily becomes a threat to a seductive killer...who chooses her as the next victim.
3. All Around the Town
When Laurie Kenyon, a
twenty-one-year-old student, is accused of murdering her English
professor, she has no memory of the crime. Her fingerprints, however,
are everywhere. When she asks her sister, attorney Sarah, to mount her
defense, Sarah in turn brings in psychiatrist Justin Donnelly. Kidnapped
at the age of four and victimized for two years, Laurie has developed
astounding coping skills. Only when the unbearable memories of those
lost years are released can the truth of the crime come out—and only
then can the final sadistic plan of her abductor, whose obsession is
stronger than ever, be revealed.
4. If You Tell by Greg Olsen
A TRUE STORY OF MURDER, FAMILY SECRETS, AND THE UNBREAKABLE BOND OF SISTERHOOD. A true story of three abused sisters who helped put their mother behind bars. Nobody seemed to notice when a live-in babysitter vanished from the home of Dave and Shelly Knotek in tiny Raymond, Washington, in 1994.
