Synopsis

Frances Hodgson Burnett's "Theo" presents a rich tapestry of human emotion and social commentary as it unravels the interconnected lives of its characters in late 19th-century England. Through her signature blend of detailed character development and atmospheric settings, Burnett captures the essence of familial bonds, societal expectations, and the perennial quest for love and acceptance. The novel stands out for its intricate psychological exploration, echoing the literary movements of realism and naturalism, which sought to expose the intricacies of everyday life in a rapidly modernizing world. Burnett, a prominent author in Victorian literature, drew from her own experiences of hardship and resilience while crafting "Theo." Her personal history as the daughter of a widowed mother and her own migration from England to America undoubtedly influenced the themes of isolation, empathy, and familial struggle that permeate the narrative. Alongside her celebrated works like "The Secret Garden," this novel reflects her keen insight into the complexities of human relationships and emotional landscapes. Readers are encouraged to delve into "Theo," as it not only entertains but also offers profound reflections on love, resilience, and the societal confines of its time. Burnett's elegant prose and poignant observations make this novel a compelling and thought-provoking read that resonates with both contemporary and classic themes.

    Punk Rock Superstar Collapses In Front Of Record Crowd 
    Hendrix Cavanaugh Rushed To Hospital In Mexico City 
    Cavanaugh Leaves Hospital AMA 
    I've loved Hendrix Cavanaugh since his high school mascot days, and seeing him grind himself down like this has been driving me up a wall. Now that he's collapsed on stage, I can't watch from the sidelines for a second longer. 
    I know I'm not his type—I'm a network security specialist who wears expensive suits and alphabetizes his spice drawer. In contrast, Hendrix wears all black, including his eyeliner and nail polish, and I doubt he's so much as alphabetized his contacts list. 
    Swooping in to save the day won't make him notice me. I know that. But he has to come off the road, and I have to be the one to take care of him, or I'm going to go out of my mind. 
    That said, sharing a cabin with him while he recovers might be the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life.

    Lights, Camera . . . Catastrophe. 
     
    When Oscar-winning actress Lilah Paxton torpedoes her career in spectacular fashion, she escapes to the sleepy English village of Bankton to lie low. But country life isn't quite the cozy retreat she imagined. There's mud, terrifying sheep, and absolutely no room service. 
     
    Blossom Baker, cheerful café owner and lifelong Lilah fangirl, always dreamed of meeting her idol. She just didn't expect her to be such a grump. Or completely incapable of basic adulting. 
     
    Determined to help Lilah find a new purpose (and keep her from starving), Blossom ropes her into small-town life, complete with community theater chaos, an overly friendly bull, and a whole lot of unexpected feelings. 
     
    But love isn't a script Lilah can memorize, and happily-ever-afters aren't as simple as Hollywood makes them seem. Can she prove she's finally ready for something real? And can a small-town barista really capture the heart of her teenage film-star crush? 
     
    For My Finale is a laugh-out-loud, opposites-attract sapphic romcom about finding yourself, falling in love, and the unexpected magic of second acts from bestselling writer Sienna Waters.

    Trailblazing author, Marianne K. Martin asks, "How much are you willing to sacrifice to protect your students and the woman you love?" in this powerful and timely novel. 
     
     
     
    Johanna Beals decided sixteen years ago to sacrifice everything to raise her daughter Kayla as a single mother. She knew it was the right decision even when it led to lonely nights and broken relationships, and even when adolescent secrets challenged their mother/daughter bond. But the decision to go it alone seems easy compared to the one she is about to face. 
     
     
     
    Secrets and bouts of teenage angst don't only challenge parents. English teacher, Miya James, has dealt with her fair share of them over the years. But Kayla Beals seems to be whispering to the wind, an act that stirs uncomfortable memories of Miya's fractured childhood. As the school year progresses, she finds she wasn't prepared for this student, for her mother, or for the sparks that add fuel to the teeming atmosphere of unrest, bullying, and homophobia that leaves her school district grappling with life-changing decisions for everyone involved.

    Jay and Sophie have been dating for a couple of years, but Jay’s friendship with Ellie has always been a source of friction. No matter how many times Jay insists that they’re just friends (despite his secret, years long crush…) Sophie won’t budge. 
    “I don't understand why your friends have to include so many girls” she said, spitting the words venomously. 
    “Well I don't know why you're so insecure that you can't handle me being friends with girls” said Jay, the words out of his mouth before he could stop himself. He knew immediately that he'd gone too far. 
    “Well, you keep picking her over me” said Sophie, a final note her voice. “And I've had enough of it. We are over. We are through.” Jay opened his mouth to say something but didn't know what, and the words wouldn't come. “You can get out” said Sophie. “Out. Go and stay with one of your girlfriends that you like so much.” 
    “Wait” Jay said, and belatedly realized that he didn't really have a come back to that. 
    “I mean it” said Sophie, her eyes narrowing as she spoke. “Go on. If you want to be one of the girls so much, then get out of my house.” 
    Jay find himself crashing at Ellie’s apartment, and the next morning he wakes up feeling weird. Weirder than can be explained by just a breakup. Jay has to wonder… were Sophie’s final words some sort of curse? 
    There’s no time to investigate though, because Jay and Ellie are supposed to be at a birthday party today. Jay doesn’t know if she’s more afraid that everyone will recognize her, or no one will. And all the while, she is trying to work out why Ellie is behaving so differently around her as well.
