Stranger Care
Author: Sarah Sentilles
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0593230051
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • “A powerful, heartbreaking, necessary masterpiece.”—Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild The moving story of what one woman learned from fostering a newborn—about injustice, about making mistakes, about how to better love and protect people beyond our immediate kin May you always feel at home. After their decision not to have a biological child, Sarah Sentilles and her husband, Eric, decide to adopt via the foster care system. Despite knowing that the system’s goal is the child’s reunification with the birth family, Sarah opens their home to a flurry of social workers who question them, evaluate them, and ultimately prepare them to welcome a child into their lives—even if it means most likely having to give the child back. After years of starts and stops, and endless navigation of the complexities and injustices of the foster care system, a phone call finally comes: a three-day-old baby girl named Coco, in immediate need of a foster family. Sarah and Eric bring this newborn stranger home. “You were never ours,” Sarah tells Coco, “yet we belong to each other.” A love letter to Coco and to the countless children like her, Stranger Care chronicles Sarah’s discovery of what it means to mother—in this case, not just a vulnerable infant but the birth mother who loves her, too. Ultimately, Coco’s story reminds us that we depend on family, and that family can take different forms. With prose that Nick Flynn has called “fearless, stirring, rhythmic,” Sentilles lays bare an intimate, powerful story with universal concerns: How can we care for and protect one another? How do we ensure a more hopeful future for life on this planet? And if we’re all related—tree, bird, star, person—how might we better live?

The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Pinchard
Author: Robert Bryndza
Publisher: Raven Street Publishing
ISBN: 1914547004
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The hilarious, feel-good, romantic comedy debut novel from No. 1 bestselling author Robert Bryndza. 'Crime thrillers and romantic comedy, both--who knew?! Had me belly laughing just as hard as I bite my nails when I read his suspense novels. Bryndza is a multi-talented writer!' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coco Pinchard has just turned forty, and is feeling fabulous. Her long-held dream to be a writer has been realised, with the publication of her debut novel, her son, Rosencrantz, is attending a prestigious London drama school, and her musician husband, Daniel, seems more in love with her than ever. Coco feels poised to enter an exciting new chapter in life. When the New Year dawns after a hideous Christmas spent with her awful in-laws, Coco catches Daniel in bed with a younger woman, her novel flops, and Rosencrantz goes spectacularly off the rails. As her once-happy life unravels, and any chance of an exciting new chapter recedes into the distance, Coco's new iPhone becomes her confessional. Through emails to loyal friends Christopher, a neurotic middle-aged socialite, and Marika, a slightly alcoholic schoolteacher, Coco begins to document her seemingly endless (and often hilarious) run of bad luck. When Coco reaches the top of the local allotment list (after putting her name down nineteen years previously) she meets the drop-dead gorgeous Adam, and she's back in the world of dating as a single forty-something. Read the emails that tell the hilarious, feel-good tale of Coco picking up the pieces! Fans of rom coms by Sophie Kinsella will be glued to the pages of this totally addictive page-turner. Readers totally love The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Pinchard: 'Joyful and fun!' Netgalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Bryndza can turn his hand to both crime thrillers and comedy!' Joanne Robertson, My Chestnut Reading Tree, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'It's exactly what it claims to be. Funny, feel-good, you will want to know more about Coco!' Netgalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Robert Bryndza writes stories that make you want to pick up your E-Reader and just read all night long. It's some talent that can draw you in like that. On to Coco Pinchard #2!' Netgalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A great book filled with laughs, brilliant characters, an engaging plot and a very clever use of emails as a writing style.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An utterly brilliant look into Coco's world through her eyes and an introduction to some wonderful characters.' Netgalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book Description
“If there has been a better mystery-suspense story written in this decade, I can’t think of it . . . transcend[s] the genre.” —Stephen King “A cruel and cunning mystery . . . Plot-twisting, mind-altering and monstrously funny.” —The New York Times Book Review The latest gripping psychological thriller from Edgar Award winner Alex Marwood When a child goes missing at an opulent house party, it makes international news. But what really happened behind those closed doors? Twelve years ago, Mila Jackson’s three-year-old half-sister Coco disappeared during their father’s fiftieth birthday celebration, leaving behind her identical twin Ruby as the only witness. The girls’ father, Sean, was wealthy and influential, as were the friends gathered at their seaside vacation home for the weekend’s debauchery. The case ignited a media frenzy and forever changed the lives of everyone involved. Now, Sean Jackson is dead, and the people who were present that terrible night must gather once more for a funeral that will reveal that the secrets of the past can never stay hidden. Perfectly paced all the way through its devastating conclusion, The Darkest Secret is one that fans of Gillian Flynn and Liane Moriarty won’t be able to put down.
