| | | Cassie and Zoe were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe yearned for fame while Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows. In the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting the sisters into the spotlight as the pop sensation the Griffin Sisters. But after a year, the band abruptly broke up. Two decades later, Zoe’s a housewife; Cassie’s off the grid. The sisters aren’t speaking. Zoe’s teenage daughter, Cherry, who’s determined to be a star, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago. | | The Kenner siblings are at odds. Jenn is a harried mom struggling under the weight of family obligations. Fred is a novelist who can’t write, maybe because she’s lost faith in storytelling itself. Jude is a recovering corporate lawyer with her own story to tell, and a grudge against her former favorite sister, Fred. George, the baby, is estranged from his wife and harboring both a secret about his former employer and an ill-advised crush on one of his sisters’ friends. Gathered after a major loss, each sibling needs the others more than ever—if only they could trust each other. Over the course of a sweltering Florida summer, the Kenner siblings will revisit what it means to be a family. | | |
Divorced mother of four Blythe Benedict takes her family to Nantucket, her island home-away-from-home, but she must contend with teenage angst, her ex-mother-in-law’s declining health, and a troubling secret involving her ex-husband. Meanwhile, she reconnects with former high school sweetheart Aaden, but their romance becomes complicated when another man enters the picture.
| | In Natchez, 1865, Harrison, a newly freed Union Army soldier, returns to Mississippi to find his love, Tirzah, but a woman at the Freedmen’s Bureau thwarts his efforts. After tragedy, he resigns himself to a life with her. Meanwhile, Tirzah, teaching in Louisiana, finds an ad looking for her, but stays where she is for a life of security. In Harlem, 2019, when Ardelia meets Oliver, she finds his family’s history is as full of secrets and omissions as her own. At their engagement party, Oliver gives her a love letter on a crumbling piece of paper. Spanning over 150 years, Morgan Jerkins's novel intertwines these star-crossed lovers' stories and their descendants. | | After dozens of Hollywood apartment buildings erupt in flames during a single night of terror, arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andrew Walker are assigned to catch the serial torcher and end his spree. But then a catastrophic fire destroys a major freeway, crippling the city and forcing Sharpe and Walker to take on another massive case. | | Four years after their bitter divorce, Claire and Aaron Litvak get a phone call no parent is prepared for: their 22-year-old daughter Lindsey, teaching English in China during a college gap year, has been critically injured in a hit and run accident. At a Shanghai hospital they wait at her bedside, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. | | |
