Book Description
Laura, a thirty-year-old single woman, is upset that she has never found someone to share her life with. Also, she has struggled with the fact that she has known she was a lesbian since she was seventeen. She also has flashbacks of six years before. When her parents went to Tennessee to repeat their honeymoon, Laura used a razorblade to attempt suicide. She was lucky that her mother forgot her phone and came back and found Laura. Laura is glad that she failed at committing suicide. Laura is sitting at home one day watching TV when an employer calls and asks her to come in for an interview for a management trainee position at a convenience store. She is excited when she gets the job. Laura is informed where she will be training. After her interview, Laura goes to Walmart to get her oil changed. When Laura checks out, she meets Katie, a young and beautiful single woman. Katie and Laura introduce themselves and meet at the in-store restaurant after they pick up their cars. They trade phone numbers and decided to go on a date later that week. A few days later, Laura and her father, Randall, go out to eat. One of Randall’s former coworkers brought his son, David, with him. David flirts with Laura, and Laura agrees to go out with him. She is now wondering who she wants to be with. She is afraid of hurting either one but is stuck between the two. Laura starts her training. She is extremely nervous about doing a good job. Laura has never been in a management position before. The other employees quickly warm up to Laura. She is well liked. During her training, on her second day, a drunk driver plows through the parking lot at work and destroys her car. She is upset that she has to have her father come and get her. Laura goes to the dealer where her car is taken and test-drives a newer vehicle. The salesperson lets her drive it for a few days until her insurance settles with her. After her training, Laura is transferred to a different store within the company. She loves being the manager of her own store. The day she takes over her new store, she notices the store is out of coffee and has to make a thirty-mile trip back to the store where she interviewed and get coffee and other items. Laura sees Katie’s sister, Lisa, the store’s shift lead. Laura and Lisa get into an argument. In the first week of Laura taking over the new store, her district manager asks her to work at the store where she was interviewed. Laura feels awkward about this, as the shift lead is Katie’s sister. Laura wants to make a good impression on her district manager and agrees to work at that store. The first day of filling in, Laura gets a phone call from David. Laura takes the call while she is on break. The shift lead goes outside to ask Laura a question. The shift lead overhears Laura talking dirty to David. The shift lead does not know who Laura is talking to. Laura lies and says she is talking to Katie. The shift lead catches on to Laura’s lie but doesn’t say anything to her.

Book Description
Winner of the 2016 Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself—because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of—a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan’s journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity! Carpet sweepers! Sending out the laundry!), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Book Description
The Newbery Medal–winning author of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! gives readers a virtuoso performance in verse in this profoundly original epic pitched just right for fans of poetry, history, mythology, and fantasy. Welcome to ancient Greece as only genius storyteller Laura Amy Schlitz can conjure it. In a warlike land of wind and sunlight, “ringed by a restless sea,” live Rhaskos and Melisto, spiritual twins with little in common beyond the violent and mysterious forces that dictate their lives. A Thracian slave in a Greek household, Rhaskos is as common as clay, a stable boy worth less than a donkey, much less a horse. Wrenched from his mother at a tender age, he nurtures in secret, aided by Socrates, his passions for art and philosophy. Melisto is a spoiled aristocrat, a girl as precious as amber but willful and wild. She’ll marry and be tamed—the curse of all highborn girls—but risk her life for a season first to serve Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Bound by destiny, Melisto and Rhaskos—Amber and Clay—never meet in the flesh. By the time they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is just one boundary their unlikely friendship crosses. It takes an army of snarky gods and fearsome goddesses, slaves and masters, mothers and philosophers to help shape their story into a gorgeously distilled, symphonic tour de force. Blending verse, prose, and illustrated archeological “artifacts,” this is a tale that vividly transcends time, an indelible reminder of the power of language to illuminate the over- and underworlds of human history.
