Quinn and her older sister, Nora, have never been close and their relationship in recent years has consisted mostly of infrequent awkward phone calls and occasional emails. But when Quinn receives a cryptic text message from Nora one summer night – I have something for you -- and then a haunted Nora shows up just hours later, a chain reaction is put into motion that will change both of their lives forever. Nora’s “something” is more shocking than Quinn could have ever imagined: a little girl, cowering, wide-eyed, and tight-lipped. Nora hands her over to Quinn with instructions to keep her safe and to not utter a word about the child to anyone. But before Quinn can ask even one of the million questions swirling around her head, Nora leaves, and Quinn finds herself the unlikely caretaker of a strange child introduced simply as “Lucy.” It’s obvious that Nora has gotten involved in something way over her head– but what? As Quinn struggles to honor her sister’s desperate request and protect lost, scared Lucy from the unknown, Nora must face matters head-on in a life or death struggle that demonstrates the lengths a woman will go to to protect the ones she loves. (Atria Books/Simon & Schuster, Fall 2017) The Beautiful Daughters by Nicole Baart Adrienne Vogt and Harper Penny were once closer than sisters. Until David Galloway entered their lives, and the college classmates found themselves in an impossible situation: they were in love with the same man. But then David died in a terrible accident, leaving Adri and Haper overwhelmed with guilt, each certain of her own hand in the tragedy. They couldn’t possibly stay friends after that, so they exiled themselves—from each other and from just about everyone they cherished. Now, five lonely years later, an unexpected development forces them back into the tangle of their fractured relationship. At Piperhall, the Galloways’ palatial estate, new secrets and old lies about David’s death come to light. But soon it becomes apparent that what happened to David isn’t nearly as important as what happened between Adri and Harper. (Atria Books, Spring 2015; Recorded Books audiobook, 2015) Sleeping in Eden by Nicole Baart She knew what he wrote...one little word that made her feel both cheated and beloved. One word that changed everything. MINE. On a chilly morning in the Northwest Iowa town of Blackhawk, Dr. Lucas Hudson is filling in for the vacationing coroner on a seemingly open-and-shut suicide case. His own life is crumbling around him, but when he unearths the body of a woman buried in the barn floor beneath the hanging corpse, he realizes this terrible discovery could change everything... Years before Lucas ever set foot in Blackhawk, Meg Painter met Dylan Reid. It was the summer before high school and the two quickly became inseparable. Although Meg’s older neighbor, Jess, was the safe choice, she couldn’t let go of Dylan no matter how hard she tried. Caught in a web of jealousy and deceit that spiraled out of control, Meg’s choices in the past ultimately collide with Lucas’s discovery in the present, weaving together a taut story of unspoken secrets and the raw, complex passions of innocence lost.

She married him anyway, and together, she and Etsell settled into a life where love really did seem to conquer all. When an opportunity to spend three weeks in Alaska helping a pilot friend presents itself, Etsell accepts and their idyllic world is turned upside down. It’s his dream, he reveals, and Danica knows that she can’t stand in the way. Etsell is on his last flight before heading home when his plane vanishes shortly after takeoff, leaving Danica in a free fall. He’s gone, but what exactly does gone mean? Is she a widow? An abandoned wife? Or will Etsell find his way home to her? Forced to search for the truth in her marriage, Danica grapples with the impossible questions about her husband’s mysterious disappearance. And when she learns that Ell wasn’t flying alone, the bits and pieces of the careful life that she 52 Village Place · Hinsdale IL 60521 · USA · Telephone 312.922.3063 · www.browneandmiller.com For Rights Inquiries: Mariana Fisher, Foreign Rights Agent · [email protected] 1 ********* constructed for them take to the wind… A story of love and loss, and ultimately starting over, Far From Here explores the dynamics of intimacy and the potentially devastating consequences of the little white lies we tell the ones we love.
