Acclaimed for her insightful depiction of the magic and mystery in everyday life and relationships, Luanne Rice is one of today's most gifted novelists. Now the author of eight consecutive New York Times bestsellers delivers her most powerful book yet - the story of a man and a woman forced to choose between the past that haunts them and the love that won't let them go. It's been years since Jane Porter ventured back home to Twin Rivers, Rhode island. Now she must close the doors of her popular New York City bakery to return and help her sister care for their ailing mother. But Jane is also drawn home by a wrenching secret from her past, a secret she's finally determined to reveal. Even if it means destroying a local family - and her best chance at love. Dylan Chadwick has shed the steely exterior he once wore as a federal agent to return to the apple orchards of his childhood. Four years ago his wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of a case he was working. When a striking woman named Jane appears on his property, he has no idea that the soul mate who is destined to open his heart has a secret - one that could tear his entire family apart. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Kid's Book Corner ... The Teacher's Funeral, a Comedy in Three Parts by Richard Peck. "If your teacher has to die, August isn't a bad time of year for it, " says Russell Culver, fifteen, who's raring to light out for the endless skies of the Dakotas to join a team of harvesters working the new 1904 all-steel threshing machines. School's only standing in the way of his Dakota dreams. Maybe now with his teacher in the ground, Hominy Ridge School will shut down for good. No such luck. Russell and his schoolmates - Pearl, Flopears, Little Britches; the whole bunch - are about to be ruled by a new teacher who's Russell's worst nightmare. Despite stolen supplies, rustic vandalism, a blazing boy's privy, and more snakes than you can shake a stick at, the new teacher will keep the school afloat and set Russell on a new course entirely. Richard Peck creates a whole world of folksy, one-of-a kind characters in his funniest novel yet. There will be no forgetting Russell, his new teacher, and all the inmates of Hominy Ridge School, on both sides of the teacher's desk. |
