June The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty - Canceled
The Husband's Secret
by
Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive. . . .
Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all—she’s an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. But that letter is about to change everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely know Cecilia—or each other—but they too are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.
Acclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping, thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible to know our spouses—and, ultimately, ourselves.

Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.
Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will end
Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better.

"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak
The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that will be in movie theaters on November 15, 2013, Markus Zusak's unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail (Vintage) Paperback
by
A Best Book of the Year: NPR, The Boston Globe, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, St. Louis Dispatch
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

42, passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. Born and
raised in Tampa, Kathleen graduated from Plant High School and St. Petersburg
College. She loved her job and colleagues at Jabil Circuit and remained close
friends with former co-workers at Carrabba’s. No one who knew Kathleen will
forget her wall-to-wall smile, genuine warmth and offbeat Irish humor. Even
while fighting the battle of her life, she charmed her medical team and buoyed
loved ones with her confident optimism. Throughout that too-brief life, she used
her incisive wit and practical intellect for good, but delighted in fun-loving
(though never mean-spirited) naughtiness. She wrote the book on strength of
spirit and quiet grace in the face of agonizing challenges. She will be deeply
missed by her loving parents, Thomas (Red) and Ellen Hogan; her doting sister
and brother-in-law, Meghan and Steve Tauber; devoted boyfriend, Bill Kelleher;
numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends across the country; plus her furry
kids, Butter and Sugar. Kathleen’s friends and loved ones will gather to
celebrate her life, swap stories and tickle old memories January 4, 2014, at the
Rusty Pelican, 2425 North Rocky Point Drive, Tampa; 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. In lieu
of flowers, please make donations to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,
LifePath Hospice, the Humane Society Tampa Bay or charity of your choice.
