This story deftly deals with a devasting accident and the ripple effect it has on a community. Each character is isolated in their own bubble of emotions yet affected by all the others. I think this book would be a great Book Club pick as there are so many discussions and conversations that arise while … Continue reading Blind Turn by Cara Sue Achterberg

Happy Everything (Merry Hanukkah Series) by Debby Caruso
