Seventeen-year-old Annie's week in Alaska at her father's company's camp stretches her mental and physical limits as she must deal with hostile Russians and survival in the wilderness.
Emmeline
From the New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Mr. Goodbar—a haunting tale of forbidden love set against the backdrop of the American industrial revolution. This is the story of Emmeline Mosher, who, before her fourteenth birthday, was sent from her home on a farm in Maine to support her family by working in a cotton mill in Massachusetts. So begins the sixth novel by the author of Looking for Mr. Goodbar. But nothing Judith Rossner has written can prepare the reader for this haunting love story of a young girl thrust into one of America’s early industrial towns, then drawn into a love affair for which she is far from ready. In Emmeline, Rossner brings us the intensity, grasp of character, and storytelling ability that have distinguished her novels of modern women.

That is, until one of the soldiers is killed by a member of the house party. Judith insists on finding the murderer, but Louisa-Margaretta demurs.

When Percival himself is accused of the crime, and threatened with hanging, Louisa-Margaretta regrets her decision. But even if she begs her friend for forgiveness, will they find the guilty party in time to save Percival? A countryside Regency murder mystery that will intrigue and delight you.
Benedictions
It all started with a red sipper bottle… Stubborn and introverted Benedict has been carrying around his unresolved issues for years and has little ambition in life. The merging of college campuses (and fate) crosses his path with cheerful and unnaturally kind Hazel. One conversation is all it takes for her to carve a special place in your heart. Ignoring popular theories and potential red flags, Hazel decides to find out more about the brooding basketball player. Opposites do attract, but the important question is — can opposites hold onto each other? Narrated from alternating points of view, Benedictions gives you a taste of love, loss, angst, vulnerability, persistence, and, above all, selflessness. Our parents, friends, and partners — we take them for granted on so many occasions and often regret our choices when it’s too late to alter them. Shouldn’t we be cherishing them for as long as they’re around? They are, in the true sense of the term, our benedictions. This is not simply a love story, but the journey of new adults growing up.
