New Releases - August 4 - 9

Dear Readers,

Ah August, the month that slows the world down, well those of us in the Northern reaches of this planet.  The humidity goes up, we fight against having to go back to school, we long for the summer months to stretch a few more months.  But of course the seasons change and move forward we must, but until the cooler weather sets in, here are some really good end of summer reads.

Happy Reading,

Feels like Heaven - Vanessa Miller - Solomon Harris never met his father.  It has never mattered to him either.  He is the lawyer to the stars in Hollywood.  When his father summons Solomon to his death bed, Solomon has to decide if he actually wants to meet the man who has denied him for almost three decades.

The Confession - Robert Whitlow - Holt has  secret.  One that if it comes to light will cost him everything.  But that secret is buried with Holt's best friend or is it?  When Holt starts investigating the death of a town's wealthiest citizen, he comes face to face with his own guilty conscience.

The Healing Quilt - Wanda Brunstetter - Return to the Half-Stitched Quilting Club - Lamar and Emma seek the warmth of the Florida sun and take up residence in Sarasota Florida.  Emma longs for more to do than walk the beaches and starts another quilting class.  Of course nothing is easy with her quilting classes.
