CHANGE OF LIFE Samantha Bryant: Science Fiction Women's Fiction
(Postmenopausal Super Heroes book 2) This is a bigger rip-roaring superhero tale than Bryant's book one. I can't wait to find out what comes next for this fabulous cast of women now that their creator has made such heroes of a much maligned group.
THE SCOTTISH PRISONER Diana Gabaldon: Historical Fiction
This is even better than BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLADE and true to its title, it concerns Jamie Fraser and Lord John Grey. If you've ever wondered how these two very different men can be good friends, you must read this book. Besides, we all need a dose of Diana Gabaldon while waiting for the next big Jamie and Claire book.
A SAINT IN GRACELAND Deborah Hining: Christian Women's Fiction with elements of Romance
This is a story about the growth of mature and radical faith. The romance is nuance and amazing, too. Hining has topped her debut with a story of war and peace.
SISTER DEAR Laura McNeill: Women's Fiction/Suspense
In this taut mystery, the brilliant use of multi-POV tells a compelling story. The emotional journey will keep you guessing all the way to the end.
LEOTA'S GARDEN Francine Rivers: Christian Women's Fiction
This is a classic story of pain, forgiveness, love, and sacrifice in the style Rivers is known for. The deeply realized characters tell the story from multiple POV.
