Summary

In "Her Father's Daughter," Gene Stratton-Porter weaves a poignant narrative that blends themes of familial loyalty, personal ambition, and the struggle for identity within the picturesque settings of early 20th-century Indiana. The novel's lyrical prose and rich imagery reflect Stratton-Porter's background in naturalism, showcasing her ability to intertwine human experiences with the beauty of the natural world. Set against the backdrop of the Great Lakes, the story unfolds through the eyes of a spirited young woman grappling with the expectations of her father and societal norms, revealing complex dynamics of love and independence. Gene Stratton-Porter, an esteemed author and naturalist, drew from her own experiences as a pioneer in environmental advocacy and a strong sense of place. Raised in a rural environment, her appreciation for nature and strong familial bonds greatly influenced her writing. Stratton-Porter's commitment to social issues, particularly women's rights, is evident in her characters, who often face societal constraints, echoing her own struggles and triumphs as a female author in a male-dominated literary landscape. "Her Father's Daughter" is a must-read for those interested in early American literature and the historical context of women's roles within it. Stratton-Porter's eloquent prose and deeply rooted themes of resilience and self-discovery make this novel a timeless reflection, appealing to readers seeking both a heartfelt story and a connection to nature.

    The feelgood, romance, guaranteed to make you smile from bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel as if she is ‘living her best life’. 
Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at, and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no one actually ‘sees’ her.  
Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’. When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of enthusiasm. 
The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up. Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…

    She listens to patterns no one else hears. He watches the world like it might confess something if he stays still enough. Neither of them believes in the extraordinary. They’ve just stopped pretending things are ordinary. 
Their cases don’t always end. Sometimes they simply... stop. But along the way, they ask the right questions, or the wrong ones at the right time. They’re not solving puzzles, they’re tracing outlines of absence, of imbalance, of something almost felt. 
In the silence between clues, something shifts in them too. Because the longer you look at what doesn’t belong, the more you start to see what you’ve been missing.

    "Silver Blaze", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "Silver Blaze" 13th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson travel by train to Dartmoor to investigate a crime of disappearance of the great race horse Silver Blaze and the murder of the horse's trainer, John Straker. Holmes and Watson arrive at King's Pyland, from which Silver Blaze is missing. Fitzroy Simpson has come to Dartmoor (and specifically to King's Pyland) to gather information relating to his professional activities, and has become a suspect in the murder. However, to Holmes, from the outset, there seem to be a number of facts that do not fit the inspector's case against Simpson, damning as it looks. It seems odd, for instance, that he would lead the horse out on to the moor simply to injure or kill him. That could be done right in his stall. He could not have stolen the animal. What good would such a famous thoroughbred be to him? Why has an exhaustive search of the neighbourhood not turned up Silver Blaze? What has Simpson done with him?

    She's the figure skater. He's the hockey player. And the only thing more dangerous than falling for each other are the secrets buried beneath the ice. 
 
Welcome to Valcérre. An elite university in the middle of the snowy mountains with the best hockey and figure skating programs in the world, and secrets no one talks about. 
 
Luna Del Sol is the new figure skater trying to prove she belongs. As a Black Latina, she's used to pressure. To skate like she has something to prove. 
 
She didn't come here to get distracted, but she wasn't ready for Valcérre’s broody hockey star. 
 
Zayden Aldenhurst is the coach's son, a legacy hockey star, and the only Black player on the team. Everyone thinks he has it all, but he's just good at pretending. Until Luna walks in and reminds him of the things he tried to bury, and everything he shouldn't want. 
 
They're supposed to hate each other until an anonymous message leads them to a hidden rink tied to a student who died five years ago. 
 
No matter how hard they try to stay away, they are drawn back together like magnets. And the closer they get, the thinner the ice beneath them becomes. One crack, and everything could shatter.
