A mother- and daughter-in-law. To move on, one of them will have to
move out in a hopeful and hilarious novel about widowhood and family
friction by the bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write.
It’s 1963, two years since Barbara Feldman’s husband died. Raising two
kids, she’s finally emerging from her cocoon of grief. Not yet a
butterfly, but she’s anxious to spread her wings.
Then one day her mother-in-law, Ruth, shows up on her doorstep with
five suitcases, expecting a room of her own with a suitable mattress.
Abrasive and stuck in her ways yet well meaning, Mother Ruth arrives
without warning to help with the children. How can Barbara say no to a
woman who is not only a widow herself but also a grieving mother? As
Ruth’s prickly visit turns from days to weeks to what seems like
forever, Barbara realizes Ruth has got to go. But Barbara has an
ingenious plan: introduce Ruth to some fine gentlemen and marry her off
as fast as she can.
Soon enough, something tells Barbara that Ruth is trying to do the same
for her. At least they’re finding common ground—helping each other to
move forward. Even if it is in the most unpredictable ways two totally
different women ever imagined.
The spellbinding conclusion to the international bestseller Forged by
Blood delves deeper into Nigerian mythology as the Oluso uprising comes
to a head…and the young woman caught in between comes to her breaking
point. Return to this highly atmospheric, complex world full of magic
and romance and war, in which unity is the goal, blood is the
sacrifice, and love is at stake.
The King is dead. The Oluso rebel. War is here.
With the end of Alistair Sorenson’s tyrannical reign, Dèmi has accepted
Jonas’s proposal to rule as his Queen with hopes to finally free her
people, the magical Oluso. Yet social prejudice, corrupt council
members, and the continued distrust of the nonmagical Ajès throughout
the kingdom prove seemingly implacable obstacles. To make matters
worse, Dèmi struggles to control her newly awakened iron blood magic.
As Ekwensi’s rebel army—led in part by Colin, her best friend and
one-time lover—become more triumphant in their mission, war seems
inevitable.
Before long, a new evil appears that hunts Oluso and Ajè alike,
promising desolation on a larger level than ever before. When the
failed assassination puts the life of Dèmi’s loved one in danger as
well as the future of the Oluso into question, Dèmi embarks on a
treacherous journey to find an ancestral spirit whose aid could tip the
scales in her favor. Whether her new powers will destroy the kingdom or
heal the blood-soaked rifts that have pulled it apart, she does not
know.
Beyond the battles of swords and magic, there is the battle for Dèmi’s
heart. Jonas—the former enemy prince—has divided loyalties despite his
love for Dèmi. And Ekwensi and Colin have every intention of winning
her to their side, while a past pledge hangs over Dèmi’s head. Dèmi is
caught between the kingdom, her people, and the spirits, and must
decide what sacrifices she is willing to make for peace, and whether
she can outrun the greatest danger that constantly puts her in
peril—her own heart. Only one thing is for certain…
There will be blood.

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, writing as Erin
Sterling, casts a spell with a spine-tingling romance full of
wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong. Nine years ago, Vivienne
Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka,
weepy music, bubble baths...and a curse on the horrible boyfriend.
Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn't use her magic this way, but with
only an "orchard hayride" scented candle on hand, she isn't worried
it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two. That is
until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town's ancestors, breaker
of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was,
returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to
recharge the town's ley lines and make an appearance at the annual
fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after
another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may
not have been so harmless after all. Suddenly, Graves Glen is under
attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a
talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have
to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save
the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it's too
late.
