Will the Heart Be Unbroken by Allie Dorson: She never meant to fall for the country star. He never expected to find his muse in the woman with walls higher than his fame. Dottie Monroe has spent years hiding in plain sight. Working backstage at the Nashville's most famous country music showcase, keeping her past locked tight behind a quick wit and a no-nonsense attitude. Music was once her escape, but it’s been a long time since she let herself dream of anything more. Enter Chandler York, country music’s golden boy with charm for days, a career on the rise, and a complicated heart of his own. When a twist of fate throws them together for a songwriting collaboration, what begins as reluctant partnership turns into something deeper, both musically and emotionally. As their slow-burn connection grows, Dottie is faced with a choice: keep hiding in the shadows or step into the spotlight, scars and all. But when a devastating betrayal shatters the fragile trust they’ve built, both will have to confront their pasts, their fears, and the truth about what they mean to each other. Set against the rich backdrop of Nashville’s country music scene, this is a story of healing, hope, and the power of a love that doesn’t just save...it sings.
Jane, Divided by Craig Lancaster: Just before Christmas, Jane Sperling is headed from Montana to Texas, to the hometown she once abandoned, in a car she doesn’t fully trust, for a job that’s a leap of faith and the only line she has on a better life for herself and her eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. In Texas, Jane puts a long-dormant teaching credential to use at the middle school she once attended. She navigates a fraught relationship with her widower father and the growing pains of her daughter. In an old place that’s new again, there are kids to get to know (including a temperamental and brilliant young man named Roderick); colleagues to fit in with, among them a young, popular teacher who takes an interest in Jane; and Claire’s yearning to go back to Montana. Jane fights against her memories and her circumstances as she tries to find her footing. Through her current challenges and the letters she wrote to her daughter as her marriage was failing, Jane takes the measure of the lives she’s trying to imbue with hope: That she really can go home again and find something, that she can keep Claire close and still let her grow, that she can forgive her father as he fades away, and perhaps that she can even open herself to love she has never believed in.

In the meantime, they’ve made a deal with the necromancers and are trying to complete the tasks the order wants from them, which start with contacting a familiar face. The threat of Rose returning and finishing what she started has everyone worried. It’s made even worse by the use of a certain, once-friendly vampire who can travel around during the daytime.

Hanna will have to learn to balance using her powers to help ghosts with not neglecting the people she loves.

The Elbow Grease Legacy by Beverly A. Li: Hate is definite, solid. It is planted. It grows, not only aboveground where it can be seen and flaunted as a shield of identity, but also below the surface, its roots reaching and penetrating into unexpected places without permission. A child can pick it up easily, too easily, especially when everything else around her seems indefinite. Beginning in 1960, covering a span of 20 years, The Elbow Grease Legacy begins with a young girl’s growing awareness of her family’s dysfunctionality. Events solidify hate of her alcoholic father. Frequent household relocations make a mess of Tallulah’s high school years. College art classes build a sense of confidence, the value of different perspectives, and an essential habit of personal honesty, be it unpretty, be it rage. Employment, marriage, and pregnancy do not wait for her brain to clear the contaminated cobwebs. She craves sources of logic when her father’s sudden death demolishes every defense she had built against him. Like it or not, she must understand him before she can understand herself.

Fangs. Anabelle thinks she’s insane.

Employed Motherhood by Becky Gleed: My ability to support those women–in whatever small way–pushed me to navigate and renegotiate my own working motherhood throughout the pandemic. It also inspired me to bring to completion a project I had nearly gotten across the finish line until the pandemic put it on pause: the first edition of this book, Employed Motherhood. As a sole practitioner in an under-resourced area, I’ve always wanted to extend my reach beyond what I can do one-on-one. When I first set out to research market competitors on the subject of helping new moms transition back to work, I was disappointed (but not surprised) to find so few resources–especially when you consider what a large percentage of the population goes through this experience. After readjusting to the ever-changing new “normal,” I put the finishing touches on the book and put it out in the world in May 2021. Now that the book has lived in the world for two years, it’s also become apparent that the landscape for working mothers has truly changed in every possible way–and so this book has to change to reflect those shifts. Remote work brought employers, colleagues, and clients into our homes, starting conversations about the invisible labor women disproportionately perform and the infinite bandwidth required to context-switch at the drop of a hat. That’s not to say anything was cured; but conversations got started, and now flexible work arrangements aren’t as rare as they once were.
Do Childfree People Have Better Sex? by Verena Brunschweiger: Verena Brunschweiger is no stranger to controversy. In her latest audiobook, Do Childfree People Have Better Sex?, our provocateur tackles this increasingly popular topic and its many ramifications head-on. After conveying her own personal story, Brunschweiger expounds with data in hand on the implications of having children: the ecological and environmental consequences, feminism, politics, and philosophical disputation. She explores current issues including overpopulation and the environment, animal welfare, abortion and reproductive rights, politics, and anti-natalism. Brunschweiger posits women have the right to be happy and, if they choose to, feel comfortable rejecting the societal conventional pressure of having children. Our author suggests that women and their partners will have more freedom and enjoyment if they are childfree. Brunschweiger doesn’t want humanity to go extinct as some may suggest; rather, she wants the Earth and its inhabitants to have an enjoyable and sustainable future.
