“It’s silly, mamm. I’m only moving to the other side of Faith’s Creek. It will be almost like nothing has changed at all.”Eleanor and Andrew have lived a simple life in Faith’s Creek. They accepted their arranged marriage with grace, raised their two kinner David and Rebecca into respectable young people, and tended to their farmland. So why did Eleanor want something more? She sees the way Rebecca and her soon-to-be husband are so heavily in love – the same with David and his fraa. Eleanor wishes for that between herself and Andrew, for a spark to to enter their twenty-five years of marriage instead of the coldness she feels. Soon, Rebecca will be marrying and leaving the nest, leaving Eleanor with the echoes of the past within her suddenly too-big home. Tension between Andrew and herself has never been at a higher point, and it almost seems like too big of a gap to bridge. Distant from her husband, Eleanor finds a friend in the uncle of her daughter’s husband. A man who is kind, affable and charming but she would never consider anything more than friendship. When disaster strikes, will Eleanor succumb to her guilt and pain, or will she find happiness in Gott’s love and the kindness of a stranger that might be her way to a new beginning?

[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]Perfect for fans of David Arnold and Robyn Schneider, Samuel Miller's stunning debut follows Arthur Louis Pullman III as he embarks on a cross-country train journey to chase the secrets of his namesake grandfather, a famous Salingeresque novelist. Arthur Louis Pullman III lives in his grandfather's shadow. The first Arthur Louis Pullman, an iconic Salingeresque author who wrote the American classic A World Away, died in Ohio a week after he disappeared from his family's California home. What happened in that week -- and how much his actions were influenced by his Alzheimer's -- remains a mystery. After Arthur is stripped of a college scholarship and begins to lose his grip on reality, he's sent away to live with his aunt and uncle. There, Arthur discovers a journal written by his grandfather, the narrator pining for something he can't quite understand and the final sentence containing a train route and a destination. Eager to escape his own demons, Arthur embarks on a cross-country train ride, guided only by cryptic clues left in his grandfather's dementia-influenced writing. But as Arthur gets closer to the real story, his journey is complicated by a shaky alliance with a strange girl who's keeping secrets of her own and by escalating run-ins with a dangerous Pullman fan base. Arthur's not the only one chasing a legacy, and how much will he risk to find out the truth?

In this riveting, beyond-belief true story from the author of The Borden Murders, meet the five children who captivated the entire world.When the Dionne Quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, weighing a grand total of just over 13 pounds, no one expected them to live so much as an hour. Overnight, Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie Dionne mesmerized the globe, defying medical history with every breath they took. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family--and then, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years. The Dionne Quintuplets became a more popular attraction than Niagara Falls, ogled through one-way screens by sightseers as they splashed in their wading pool at the center of a tourist hotspot known as Quintland. Here, Sarah Miller reconstructs their unprecedented upbringing with fresh depth and subtlety, bringing to new light their resilience and the indelible bond of their unique sisterhood.
