by Danielle Steel

Since the death of their supportive mother when Billie was seventeen, her father has descended into alcoholism on their Iowa farm, and Billie’s relationship with her younger sister, Mickie, has grown increasingly strained.

When Mickie invites Billie to Los Angeles, hope and wariness collide. As Billie builds a life working in a pathology lab and dating a kind reporter, old tensions flare. Danielle Steel’s gripping tale explores a sisterly bond tested by narcissism, temptation, and the thin line between love and resentment.

A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II
by Sonia Purnell

Despite a prosthetic leg, Hall became the first Allied woman sent behind enemy lines in France.

Even after escaping across the Pyrenees when her cover was blown, she returned to lead guerrilla operations after D-Day.
In A Woman of No Importance, Sonia Purnell uncovers the extraordinary story of a spy whose courage helped change the course of the war.
