Sinopse

Sometimes forgiveness of the past is the only way forward.At age 46 and after raising three boys, Julia Harper has just learned her husband no longer loves her and he's just been waiting for the children to become adults so he could leave. Hopeful, Julia applies for the job of caretaker at The Lighthouse Inn on the island of Nantucket.What she doesn't know is that her half-sister lives just across the sand from the inn.Janey Forsythe recently found out her biological father is Ryan Harper—who is also Julia's father. When she sees the brunette unpacking and introduces herself, Janey realizes who she is, panics, and gets out of there as fast as possible. She and her sister, Tessa, have stayed on Nantucket, hoping to build a new life for themselves after their dangerous summer cleaning out their mother's cottage.Madelynne Lancaster finds herself in a similar situation as Julia: newly divorced, with old money in her bank account but no one to spend it on. No children, no spouse, no friends to speak of, as they all left with her politician ex-husband. Bitter, Maddy also applies for the caretaker job at the inn.The two women are paired together to begin running the defunct inn, only the two of them knowing the bitter past that has separated them for over thirty years. When they come face-to-face at the inn on Nantucket Point, Julia and Maddy are horrified and dumbstruck—and bound together by their contracted commitment and the obstacles in their pasts.When Julia finds a picture of her father in an old scrapbook in the inn, she's horrified to see he's standing with a pretty woman...that's not her mother.More pictures lead her to Tessa Simmons and the cottage across the sand, where she learns more about her father, her half-sister, and that Riggs Friedman was never apprehended for his crimes over the summer, what his real name is, and that his sister is still missing after three decades...All of these lives tie back to The Lighthouse Inn, some secrets having been buried for decades. Can Tessa, Janey, Julia, and Maddy make sense of their complicated friendships, overcome the past, and solve the mystery before they get hurt?Find out in THE LIGHTHOUSE INN, a heartfelt women's fiction mystery, by USA Today bestselling author, Jessie Newton!

    "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" is a fantasy novel written by L. Frank Baum, the author best known for creating "The Wizard of Oz." The book was first published in 1902 and has since become a classic Christmas tale. 
     
    The story provides a unique and imaginative take on the origins and life of Santa Claus. Instead of focusing solely on the familiar figure who delivers presents on Christmas Eve, Baum's narrative delves into the mythical and magical aspects of Santa's existence. 
     
    The novel explores Santa's early years, depicting him as an orphaned child named Claus who is found and raised by a woodland fairy named Necile. As Claus grows older, he becomes enchanted with the joy of giving and begins delivering toys to children. Over time, Claus evolves into the legendary figure we know as Santa Claus, with the help of magical beings like the Immortals. 
     
    Baum's "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" presents a charming and fantastical account of how Santa Claus came to be, blending folklore, fairy tale elements, and Baum's signature whimsical style. The novel has been adapted into various forms, including animated films and stage productions, and it remains a cherished part of holiday literature. If you enjoy exploring the magical origins of beloved characters, this book offers a delightful and enchanting perspective on the life of Santa Claus.

    A writer too shy to speak to women. A single mom who’s sworn off men. And a marriage of convenience that offers two friends a chance at romance. 
    Brandon Spark may know a thing or two about women as a romance author, but his real love life proves otherwise. Between his hang-up over a college friend and bouts with social anxiety, dating is the last thing on his mind … until he runs into his old crush. 
    Hair stylist Bria Montgomery made some major mistakes a decade ago—wandering from her faith, then getting pregnant and dropping out of college. She’s desperate to leave her past—and the men from it—behind, but it’s impossible when they keep showing up in her life. 
    Brandon can’t believe he has a second chance with his first love; Bria can’t fathom ever falling for a guy she friend-zoned years ago. When an unexpected custody battle forces them to become husband and wife, things get intense and personal—fast. Will this sudden change end their friendship or spark a lasting romance?

    Brief Encounter meets Tristan und Isolde - on the Isle of Wight, under a vast sky florid with stars. The consequence is tragic indeed for one of the parties, Siegmund, when he sacrifices family life for a few days’ transcendent rapture. His lover, the self-contained Helena, is strong enough to bear a return to the scruffy suburbs. Redemption of a kind is granted to the deserted wife, Beatrice. But between these robust Lawrentian women Siegmund is cancelled out. His love-death is no cosmic swoon but a sordid exit in an unkempt box-room.In this very British romance, there is no earthly escape from outworn attachments and life’s deadening routine... (Summary by Martin Geeson)

    Zane Grey is at his best in this story of the building of the Boulder Dam, later renamed the Hoover Dam. 
    Straddling the great Colorado River, a huge structure is slowly rising—a dam that will alter the course of this ravaging river and harness its awesome power. Men from all over America have flocked to the site, laboring at the dam by day and filling the nearby Las Vegas gambling houses by night. 
    To Lynn Weston, a rich man’s son, working on the dam means independence and the chance to prove his courage. But an even greater challenge faces Lynn: he discovers a girl who has escaped her abductors in the back seat of his car and becomes her self-appointed protector. Suddenly, he finds himself threatened by a pack of ruthless gangsters with a vicious plan to blow up the dam.
