But I can't risk losing this job - not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe . . .

The Housemaid is a twisted tale of manipulation, deceit, and survival. In the latest psychological thriller by Freida McFadden, ex-convict Millie becomes the maid for the wealthy Winchester family. It was the only job she could find, but there’s something odd about Nina, her new employer. On the other hand, Nina’s handsome husband, Andrew, is kind and friendly.

The Firefly Lane series by Kristin Hannah includes books Firefly Lane and Fly Away. Firefly Lane series follows the friendship and bond between two women from the Seattle area, Kate Mularkey and Tallulah "Tully" Hart, from when they become neighbors at age 14 on a street named Firefly Lane, through the decades until their 40s, through the ups and downs of their lives.

An emotionally complex, heart-wrenching novel about love, motherhood, loss, and new beginnings, Fly Away reminds us that where there is life, there is hope, and where there is love, there is forgiveness. Told with her trademark powerful storytelling and illuminating prose, Kristin Hannah reveals why she is one of the most beloved writers of our day.

Mesmerizing from the first page to the last, Winter Garden is an evocative, lyrically-written novel that will long be remembered.

In Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone, a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near-isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the erratic behavior found in human nature.

Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices.
