Wreck
by Catherine Newman

"Rocky is a mom who feels everything to the maximum degree. Her grown children and her dad still occupy most of her waking life. When tragedy strikes, she has to find a balance that will allow her to just breathe and be thankful for the life they have. Written with real emotions and much humor, many moms will relate to this followup to Sandwich."

Remain: A Supernatural Love Story
by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan

"Part romance, part ghost story, part murder mystery, this novel's chilling yet heartfelt exploration of the bonds of family is written in the emotionally resonant style of Sparks and infused with Shyamalan’s signature suspense. This is a seemingly familiar tale with a haunting twist."
