Book Description
Thanks to her mother’s steadfastness in letter writing, Kathy Vikre received news from home once a week for nearly forty years. Within handwritten letters that began with “Dear Kath” and ended with “Love, Mom,” Kathy’s mother shined a light on her Catholic beliefs, compassion, and boundless energy. But what her daughter did not know is that one day the letters, which numbered over one thousand by the end of her mother’s life, would provide both a lifeline and a happy ending to her story. Within a touching presentation that intertwines excerpts of her mother’s letters with details of her own journey through life, Kathy shares a personal look at motherhood and survival that reveals a glimpse into the joys, struggles, and relationships between parents and their children in the years after the Second World War. Decades later after her mother died and Kathy slipped into the darkness of an old depression, she discloses how the process of re-reading her mother’s letters helped guide her inward to eventually rediscover her faith and a renewed happiness in living. Love, Mom shares a poignant snapshot into the lives of a mother and daughter through personal stories and letters as they experienced delights, challenges, death, and a rebirth.

Book Description
Hatgiannis draws a verbal picture of life in a bygone era . . . corner candy stores, horse-drawn ice cream wagons, little red tricycles and territorial fights with the neighborhood "kids." She describes her visit to Greece as a six-year-old and her reluctance to admit having a good time. She was quite determined to make "momma" sorry she ever took her away from "daddy." Hatgiannis describes moments of conflict growing up when told that "nice Greek girls don't" . . . go to dances, get valentines, go out with boys and how she tries to prove that "yes, they do!" She re-creates scenes from her early childhood and the metamorphosis that takes place when she becomes the sole wage earner and caretaker of her mother. Her acquaintance with Telly Savalas is a fun read as she shares the excitement generated by this memorable moment in the life of a 'little Greek girl" grown up. Hatgiannis has re-created the past in authentic stories that evoke both tears and laughter. Her creative side depicts her twin brother's thoughts in the womb and her mother's ascent to Heaven . . . Hatgiannis writes from the heart as she shares stories from the life of a "little Greek girl."

Book Description
Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).

Book Description
“A poignant story that explores the repercussions of humanity’s search for perfection,” from the Hugo Award–winning author of Marrow (Library Journal). With a perfect memory and hyper-acute senses, Ryder is the leader of a group of five children, all highly specialized thanks to the genetic engineering pioneered by Dr. Aaron Florida—scientist, philanthropist, and genius. They represent a new generation of genetically tailored individuals, created to help build a brighter future. But some effects of Dr. Florida’s work were unforeseen—and these children will soon discover the shocking truth about the new world they stand to inherit . . . “Very similar to some of the better works of John Varley.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
