Other Indie FavoritesTheHomePlace:ANovel,byCarrieLaSeur(WilliamMorrow,$25.99) “Alma Terrebonne, a rising star in a Seattle law firm, has left behind her complicated family and past tragedies in Billings, Montana, until one morning when a call for help pulls her back. Returning to identify her sister, dead apparently from exposure, and to care for her 11-year-old niece, Alma is overcome by guilt, fragile family relations, powerful memories from the past, and the hold the family homestead has over her. Both a tense, page-turning police procedural and a delightful romance with carefully drawn characters, The Home Place will resonate with the reader long after the book is finished.” —DarwinEllis,BooksontheCommon,Ridgefield,CT

SmallBlessings:ANovel,byMarthaWoodroof(St.Martin’sPress,$25.99)“A cast of quirky characters—a well-meaning but bumbling college professor, his agoraphobic wife, his sitcom-worthy mother-in-law, and a charming itinerant bookseller—is thrown into a whirl when a small ‘orphan’ boy appears in their midst. The power of love and caring lifts everyone above their flaws in a heartwarming story about finding love and family in unconventional ways.” —JennyStroyeck,TheHomerBookstore,Homer,AK

Another Indie FavoriteEnon:ANovel,byPaulHarding(RandomHouse,$15) “Enon is the town where Charlie and his wife, Susan, and daughter, Kate, live until one September day Kate is run over while riding her bike home from the beach. Kate’s birth had bound Charlie and Susan back together, and according to Susan, was supposed to make them both better people. What now? How does any parent survive the death of a child? Charlie will travel a tormented road of sorrow, grief, anger, hopelessness, and the big question—why? A moving meditation including the history of Enon, the seasons of New England, and the mysteries of life. Profound, powerful, and heartbreaking. Not to be missed. ” —KarenBriggs,GreatNorthernBooks&Hobbies,Oscoda,MI
