by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
This is historical fiction at its finest. At once a story of India's independence movement in the 1970s and also a story of three sisters, the different paths they take, and their love for each other. At times tragic and triumphant in equal measure, this deeply moving novel is a reminder to, no matter what, take care of each other.

The Awakening
by Nora Roberts
My first Nora Roberts books were her "Chronicle of the One" series which I loved. So I could not wait for her upcoming "Dragon Heart Legacy" trilogy, and it did not disappoint. This book takes you to Ireland in all its majesty and magical legacies and tells the coming-of-age story of a young woman who finds her strength and courage and legacy in two worlds. Get ready to love this wonderful adventure of magic and Irish lore. You're lucky; all three books are now available, and you do not have to wait.
