Book Description
A haunting story about the destructive power of secrets, Karen Katchur's The Secrets of Lake Road is an accomplished and gripping suspenseful women's fiction debut Jo has been hiding the truth about her role in her high school boyfriend's drowning for sixteen years. Every summer, she drops her children off with her mother at the lakeside community where she spent summers growing up, but cannot bear to stay herself; everything about the lake reminds her of the guilt she feels. For her daughter Caroline, however, the lake is a precious world apart; its familiarity and sameness comforts her every year despite the changes in her life outside its bounds. At twelve years old and caught between childhood and adolescence, she longs to win her mother's love and doesn't understand why Jo keeps running away. Then seven-year-old Sara Starr goes missing from the community beach. Rescue workers fail to uncover any sign of her—but instead dredge up the bones Jo hoped would never be discovered, shattering the quiet lakeside community's tranquility. Caroline was one of the last people to see Sara alive on the beach, and feels responsible for her disappearance. She takes it upon herself to figure out what happened to the little girl. As Caroline searches for Sara, she uncovers the secrets her mother has been hiding, unraveling the very foundation of everything she knows about herself and her family. Caroline's coming-of-age story, mirrored with Jo's troubled teenage past, makes for an enthralling read that is impossible to put down and hard to forget.

Pages : 128
Book Description
As it cuts across South Minneapolis, Lake Street reflects the city's diversity and its rich history. Initially a narrow dirt road out beyond Minneapolis's early city limits, Lake Street evolved into a major transportation route after the turn of the last century. Spurred by the city's population boom during those early years, the Lake Street corridor soon filled in with retail shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and auto dealers. But Lake Street's role as a major commercial corridor did not last. Buffeted by the forces of suburbanization after World War II, businesses along the corridor began to close, leaving Lake Street pockmarked with vacant, blighted buildings. Then, starting in the 1990s, the seeds of the corridor's renewal were planted when an energetic group of new arrivals to the United States began renovating Lake Street's deteriorating storefronts for their family-owned businesses. Lake Street's rejuvenation has continued into the current century as business and community leaders build on the work begun by those 20th-century urban pioneers.

Pages : 226
Book Description
The Prince of Rockport Synopsis He escaped from the confines of an obscure orphanage in the North of Wales at the age of thirteen. He had been held there as a virtual prisoner for as long as he could remember. After making his way South to Cardiff, he was able to sign on to a deep water ship as cabin boy and his future seemed more secure. In his mid twenties he had achieved his Master Mariners papers and a life that had become well ordered and successful. After years of battling the monsters of his past he was finally able to force them firmly behind him. They were buried forever, or so he thought, until an arranged meeting with a retired bishop at St. Teilos Church in Cardiff. On the very eve of his departure for Nova Scotia to take command of a new vessel from the Mackay Shipyard, the mysterious bishop revealed to him the startling details of his past. The scandal of the young Prince of Wales, and the royal cover-up of the events at the British military encampment at the Curragh. When the young Captain Theophilus Harris arrived at Rockport Nova Scotia in May of 1887, he stepped into the complicated world of Cornelius MacKay, his daughter Annie, and the ghosts from their pasts. Theo knew that he had three distinct life changing courses which he must follow. He must see his vessel and cargo to the completion of her maiden voyage to the orient and back to New York, and he must, as directed by the Bishop, visit an elderly woman in a flat above H. Griffiths store at 72 Pool Street in Caernarvon Wales. Amy Thurston, if she was still alive, held the keys and the relics of his improbable past. Then he must, with all haste, return to Rockport and to Annie. But would she wait for him?
