When Veronica married Guy, she didn't know it would mean more than twenty years of constant change, a new home every year in a different coastal town. Finally, she'd had enough, and fled with her teenage daughter to Whisper Mountain, to the home of her oldest friend. What she found there was a new life, a shifting from sea tides to hidden mountain springs, which renewed her, but also tested the courage of all three women.

Living with her newly widowed sister was driving BJ Franklin insane. She had to find Iris a husband…fast! So she starts the Over 50's Singles Night. But when only a few elderly ladies and a gay man attend the first meeting, she decides to fix her sister up with their neighbor Harvey. Except…Harvey has decided BJ is more his taste. Could BJ really start dating again? And is she ready to start a relationship with the man next door? Hey, borrowing a cup of sugar is one thing, but a husband's another!
The First Kiss Reminded Her of Raspberry Sherbet… And no man's kiss has since matched that wonderful, summery essence in all its glory. LilyRose knows her rare ability to "see" sounds and "taste" shapes—synesthesia—is a gift that defines who she is…but it's also made her an object of ridicule. And made her an outcast. That is, until a mean-spirited customer mocks a young girl—and kindred spirit-she's befriended. Years of repression suddenly give way when LilyRose hurls a basket at that customer. And finds herself being escorted from her shop in handcuffs! For decades LilyRose has searched for that special man who could teach her to embrace her uniqueness. She just didn't expect to find him waiting to pick her up from jail….
We'd all grown up in the flourishing Washington, D.C., suburb#nbsp;— Marilyn, me, Steve, Penny and Wish…the boy I'd loved. It was during the baby-boom years, when the future was luminous. But things don't always turn out as expected. Riggs Park had secrets, and Penny was one of them. Sometimes there's a chance to go back and right a wrong. Marilyn is convinced Penny had had a baby, and that the child belonged to her family. My lifelong friend can't follow up#nbsp;— she's fighting cancer. Only I can search for answers. But would finding the truth break my heart…or set us all free?
This heartwarming novel is the first illustrated holiday gift book for adults that deals with an interfaith family celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah. Claire is Jewish; her husband, Paul, is a fallen-away Catholic. Claire takes their two children to a reform Jewish temple, but they observe the Christian holidays, too -- partly for Paul and partly for Paul's mother, Teresa, a devout Catholic who is Claire's dearest friend. Then, just as the holidays approach, Claire's five-year-old son gets sick. As the weeks pass and he doesn't recover, Claire is reminded of the uncertain diagnosis of her own mother's final illness. She wants to lean on Teresa -- but how can she, when their religious differences are so deep? Have her own religious decisions been a mistake? The moving conclusion offers encouragement to any interfaith family trying to incorporate both holiday traditions, and will touch anyone who has ever worried about the fate of a child.
