Description
A new novel about faith, family, and finding the courage to do the right thing from the author of Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe.
Police officer Jessica Villareal has always played by the book and tried to do the right thing. But now, she finds herself approaching midlife divorced, estranged from her daughter, alone, and unhappy. And she's wondering if she ever made a right choice in her life.
But then Jess discovers a girl and her father living off the radar in the Oregon woods, avoiding the comforts-and curses-of modern life. Her colleagues on the force are determined to uproot and separate them, but Jess knows the damage of losing those you love. She recognizes her chance to make a difference by doing something she's never dared. Because even though she's used to playing by the rules, there are times when they need to be broken...

City of Veils
by Zoe Ferraris
It is rare that a follow-up book is better than the first, but as much
as I really enjoyed Ferraris’ first Saudi Arabia mystery, Finding Nouf,
the second one is even better. The main characters are Nayir, a devout
Muslim desert guide, and Katya, a forensic analyst caught in the dilemma
that is Saudi’s policing system - there is strong disapproval of women
who have jobs, but men are not allowed to interview female suspects or touch
female corpses; there must, therefore, be female police officers and
analysts, but women shouldn’t have jobs… read the rest of Lillian's review.
Bitter in the Mouthby Monique Truong
I have to confess: I may not have read this novel if I hadn’t been invited to meet the author, despite all the great things I heard about Truong’s previous novel, The Book of Salt.
