Lady Jayne disappears
by Joanna Davidson Politano
When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company. When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, writing the family into the story as unflattering characters, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance--and perhaps even her father's death.

Miracle in a Dry Season
by Sarah Loudin Thomas
When Perla, a single mother, moves to tiny Wise, West Virginia in 1954 with her five-year-old daughter, she hopes for a fresh start. But tongues wag about the newcomers, especially once folks wonder about Sadie's father, notice that a well-regarded local bachelor has feelings for Perla, and learn that there's something odd about Perla's cooking (like the Biblical loaves and fishes, the leftovers miraculously last for days and days). As a drought hits Wise, the town's and Perla's problems come to a head.
