A Novel by the Author of the Heart's Invisible Furies

A Dickensian ghost story from the bestselling author of The Heart's Invisible Furies and A Ladder to the Sky

"A wonderfully creepy novel...magnificently eerie." --The Observer

This House Is Haunted is a striking homage to the classic nineteenth-century ghost story. Set in Norfolk in 1867, Eliza Caine responds to an ad for a governess position at Gaudlin Hall. When she arrives at the hall, shaken by an unsettling disturbance that occurred during her travels, she is greeted by the two children now in her care, Isabella and Eustace. There is no adult present to represent her mysterious employer, and the children offer no explanation. Later that night in her room, another terrifying experience further reinforces the sense that something is very wrong.
 
From the moment Eliza rises the following morning, her every step seems dogged by a malign presence that lives within Gaudlin's walls. Eliza realizes that if she and the children are to survive its violent attentions, she must first uncover the hall's long-buried secrets and confront the demons of its past. Clever, captivating, and witty, This House Is Haunted is pure entertainment with a catch.

Raven Kennedy

From internationally bestselling author and TikTok phenom Raven Kennedy comes the first book in a stunning new fantasy series inspired by the myth of King Midas, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout. The fae abandoned this world to us. And the ones with power rule. Gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Even me. King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong. Because these bars I'm kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I'd never left.

Sleeping Murder

Ann Rule

This New York Times bestseller and shocking "tour de force from America's best true crime writer" (Kirkus Reviews)--which formed the basis for the Lifetime movie event A House on Fire--follows a woman whose seemingly perfect life hides a destructive madness.

In this harrowing New York Times bestseller, Ann Rule is at her masterful best as she winnows horrific truths from the ashes of what seemed like paradise in Prairie Village, Kansas. Rule probes the case of Debora Green, a doctor and a loving mother who seemed to epitomize the dreams of the American heartland. A small-town girl with a genius IQ, she achieved an enviable life: her own medical practice, a handsome physician husband, three perfect children, and an opulent home in an exclusive Kansas City suburb. But when a raging fire destroyed that home and took two lives, the trail of clues led investigators to a stunning conclusion. Piece by piece, Ann Rule digs beneath this placid Midwestern facade to unveil a disturbing portrait of strangely troubled marriages, infidelity, desperation, suicide, and escalating acts of revenge that forever changed dozens of lives.

Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families

Fox News Books For mothers of faith who don't feel virtuous enough, people who feel burdened by their mistakes, and anyone who has ever failed, a powerful, reassuring book that examines how the women of the Bible coped with situations and problems similar to those experienced by women today, and offers much-needed insights to help us better understand the lessons these Biblical lives hold for our own. Biblical stories featuring men have long been used as lessons for people of faith. Biblical stories about parents and children have longer center on fathers and sons. But the mothers and daughters of the Bible have stories that are just as powerful and insightful--such as Moses' mother, Jochebed, who takes enormous risks to protect her son from Pharaoh's genocidal plans. By contrast, Rebekah is a mother who dishonorably plans and schemes for her son Jacob's advancement. She plays favorites, practices deception, and will sacrifice anything for Jacob's future. This book highlights the lessons we can draw from Jochebed, Rebekah, and other women of the Bible, examining the relationships of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and daughters and fathers. Very few of these mothers and daughters were paragons of virtue. They were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best, yet sometimes failed. While some heard God's voice, others could not. Yet in their imperfection, these women are models for our own lives. Their stories show us that God speaks to us not only through our virtues, but through our mistakes as well.

Denise Hildreth

By leaving South Carolina, Rose Fletcher thought she had shaken the dust off her feet for good, but now she's headed south again, racing for the past and hoping to leave her present troubles behind.

When Rose Fletcher embarks on her car trip to Mullins, South Carolina, she has little idea what awaits her. A powerful DC lobbyist, Rose remains powerless over the demons of her past. With her marriage on the brink of disaster, her mind races with the chaos her life has become as her journey begins to dredge up memories of the mistakes she's made and the desperate ache of the life she once knew.

As Rose makes her long drive back to Mullins to attend her grandmother's funeral after 10 years away, it'll take the intervention of strangers and a painful miracle of grace to help her find that place called "home" once again.

This is a story of how deep roots and southern memories--like chess pie, boiled peanuts, and crazy waitresses in small town diners--can remind you of why sometimes life has to come to a screeching halt before we can learn how to live.

 * A poignant southern tale of how the lost can find their way back home
 * Includes discussion questions for book clubs
 * Also by Denise Jones: Savannah from Savannah

Anna Quindlen

A few times in your life, someone will tell you something so right, so deeply true that it changes you forever. That is what Anna Quindlen, author of the timeless bestseller A Short Guide to a Happy Life, does here.

In Being Perfect, she shares wisdom that, perhaps without knowing it, you have longed to hear: about “the perfection trap,” the price you pay when you become ensnared in it, and the key to setting yourself free. Quindlen believes that when your success looks good to the world but doesn’t feel good in your heart, it isn’t success at all.

She asks you to set aside your friends’ advice, what your family and co-workers demand, and what society expects, and look at the choices you make every day. When you ask yourself why you are making them, Quindlen encourages you to give this answer: For me. “Because they are what I want, or wish for. Because they reflect who and what I am. . . . That way lies dancing to the melodies spun out by your own heart.”

At the core of this beautiful book lies the secret of authentic success, the inspiration to embrace your own uniqueness and live the life that is undeniably your own, rich in fulfillment and meaning.
