  Born and raised in the small prairie town of Lanigan, Saskatchewan, Jane Smith had to be the most awkward girl around. She had reached an age when her parents were allowing her to experiment with make-up, and all the boys around her were becoming more attractive as each day passed. Especially Todd. He was her biggest secret crush. Unfortunately, Jane was too shy to do anything about it. 
  It did not help matters that all her friends now had boyfriends, but Jane still did not. It seemed to her that she was forever cursed to be single in this small prairie town where she was nothing more than an ugly duckling next to all the pretty and sociable girls. 
  When Jane was not following her friends around from the movie theatre to the hockey rink, learning the latest juicy gossip from them, and silently adoring her biggest crush, she was alone in her bedroom writing: letters to her Chinese penpal, diary entries, and the beginnings of a romance novel. She often dreamed about her first love and first kiss. Alas, this was a dream she feared would never come true, so she also wished for a new start and a whole new life for herself. 
  Little did Jane know that her creative hobbies were the very thing that would make these dreams come true. Little did she know she was capable of magic!

  Three witches. Three ancient traditions. One ritual that was supposed to guarantee eternal youth, unlimited luck in love, and a lifetime supply of free food.
   
  Instead, Helga, Ivet, and Gertrude wake up on a lawn in contemporary Russia, staring at a sign that reads "GAS LAWN. FINE 5000 RUBLES." Their pentacles display "NO SERVICE." Their crystal ball has exploded like a jar of pickled cabbage. And the only magic that still works is Gertrude's ability to bake perfect bread.
   
  To return home, they need seven ingredients. But in a world where mandrake root is replaced by ginseng from the pharmacy, virgin tears come from a woman weeping over subpar eclairs, and the blood of a black rooster is sourced from a white chicken with a black soul, nothing is quite what it seems.
   
  Their journey takes them from battling babushkas armed with ladles to collecting sacred cat spittle at the Duomo. They acquire a homicidal garden gnome named Fritz who has spent fifty years waiting for revenge against his orderly Swiss neighbors. They attempt to fly on a plastic broom that explodes more spectacularly than their dignity. And somewhere along the way, they begin to realize that getting lost might be the best thing that ever happened to them.

  Whistler: A Novel

  The acclaimed, prize-winning #1 New York Times bestselling writer returns with a moving, luminous novel that reminds us of the sweetness and impermanence of life and the power of connection to defy time. 
  When Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older, white-haired gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett, her former stepfather, who had been married to her mother for a little more than year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn’t seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives. Meeting again, time falls away; while their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both, and now that they are reunited, they have no intention of ever being separated again. 
  Whistler is a story about two adults looking back over the choices they made, and the choices that were made for them. It’s a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures, and how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.
