"This novel centers around a young girl living in a remote cabin in a former commune.  She is isolated at home and an outcast at school, but she wants to fit in, to belong somewhere.  Her life starts to expand when she becomes a babysitter for a family who is spending a few weeks in a house across the lake.  The story is told brilliantly, with some beautiful moments, and a tension that builds from the first chapter."

"This is the fascinating true story of the "Human Computers" a group of African American female mathematicians and their experiences working at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton Virginia beginning in World War II. 

Like their counterparts, the Bletchley Girls in England, these women worked tirelessly and made important and until now largely unsung contributions. From warplanes to rockets to landing on the moon to space shuttles, these women were fundamental to NASA's greatest successes including the Apollo Missions of the 1960's and beyond."

Thirty-four-year-old marine biologist Kyra Winthrop remembers nothing about the diving accident that left her with a complex form of memory loss. With only brief flashes of the last few years of her life, her world has narrowed to a few close friendships on the island where she lives with her devoted husband, Jacob.

But all is not what it seems. Kyra begins to have visions-or are they memories of a rocky marriage, broken promises, and cryptic relationships with the island residents, whom she believes to be her friends. 

"This book started out intriguing and ended up unputdownable. What seems obvious at the beginning becomes clouded as the layers build in this great suspense story. If you enjoyed Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train, you'll enjoy this thriller."
