Always
Watching by Chevy
Stevens
She helps people put their demons to rest.
But she has a few of her own…
In the lockdown ward of a psychiatric
hospital, Dr. Nadine Lavoie is in her element. She has the tools to help
people, and she has the desire—healing broken families is what she lives for.
But Nadine doesn’t want to look too closely at her own past because there are
whole chunks of her life that are black holes. It takes all her willpower
to tamp down her recurrent claustrophobia, and her daughter, Lisa, is a runaway
who has been on the streets for seven years.
When a distraught woman, Heather Simeon, is
brought into the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit after a suicide attempt,
Nadine gently coaxes her story out of her—and learns of some troubling
parallels with her own life. Digging deeper, Nadine is forced to confront her
traumatic childhood, and the damage that began when she and her brother were
brought by their mother to a remote commune on Vancouver Island. What
happened to Nadine? Why was their family destroyed? And why does the name
Aaron Quinn, the group’s leader, bring complex feelings of terror to Nadine
even today?
And then, the unthinkable happens, and
Nadine realizes that danger is closer to home than she ever imagined. She
has no choice but to face what terrifies her the most…and fight back.
Sometimes you can leave the past, but you
can never escape.

Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My
Appetites by Kate Christensen
That the greatly
admired novelist Kate Christensen has turned to the memoir form after six
novels makes this book an event. Readers of memoirs of high literary quality,
particularly those with food themes—most conspicuously Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples and Gabrielle
Hamilton's Blood, Bones, and Butter—as
well as admirers of M. F. K. Fisher and Laurie Colwin will be a large and eager
audience.
This memoir derives from Kate's popular
foodcentric blog (http://katechristensen.wordpress.com), in which she shares
scenes from an unusual upbringing and an unusually happy present-day life,
providing an audience for this book that is already primed. That it is written
by Kate Christensen means it will be a delicious reading experience in every
sense—a compulsively readable account of a knockabout life, full of sorrows and
pleasures, many of the latter of the sensual, appetitive variety.
Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich
Big Girl Panties by
Stephanie Evanovich is a rollicking and poignant romantic comedy about a young
widow who decides to get in shape...and winds up getting her groove back—and a
whole lot more!
Holly Brennan used food to comfort herself through her
husband’s illness and death. Now she’s alone at age thirty-two. And she weighs
more than she ever has. When fate throws her in the path of Logan Montgomery,
personal trainer to pro athletes, and he offers to train her, Holly concludes
it must be a sign. Much as she dreads the thought of working out, Holly knows
she needs to put on her big girl panties and see if she can sweat out some of
her grief.
Soon, the easy intimacy and playful banter of their training
sessions lead Logan and Holly to most intense and steamy workouts. But can
Holly and Logan go the distance as a couple now that she’s met her goals—and
other men are noticing?
Happy Reading!
