Sinopse

The SideRoad Kids Book 2: A Summer of Discovery takes place throughout the summer of 1958 in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Readers familiar with The SideRoad Kids: Tales from Chippewa County will be reacquainted with their favorite twelve-year-old characters and their discoveries. Blew learns who his father was. Flint discovers why Uncle Leo is mean. Shirley shares her fears with Katie. Elizabeth has a change of heart towards her step-brother, Ronnie. Squeaky falls in love. Fenders joins the Army. Candy makes Flint a promise she may not keep. Johnny's devotion to Katie increases, much to her delight or dismay. The SideRoad Kids have fun, but they also tackle serious issues and learn that adults do not always tell the truth.  "Kennedy's prose deftly straddles that age where kids are discovering things about the world. The SideRoad crew learns about all the things that are part of what 'being a grownup' is about, and Kennedy shares these stories in a way that kids and the adults they've now become can connect with." --Brad Gischia, U.P. Book Review  "The SideRoad Kids Book 2 is an engaging read that includes details that harken back to a life that included campfires, riding bikes or horses, working hard, girls baking cakes and people listening to Roy Rogers's songs. I highly recommend this as a teen, parent and grandparent read-together to spark family memory discussions." --Carolyn Wilhelm, Midwest Book Review  "Once again, Kennedy whisks us into the rural past of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Each evocative story, complete in itself, is also linked to the whole through beautiful prose and memorable characters. The stories run from heartrending to hilarious. I felt as if I were visiting my own childhood - the secrets, joys, mysteries and problems." --Sue Harrison, national bestselling author of The Midwife's Touch  From Modern History Press

    Véronique Vincent is a star. At age twenty-two, she is one of the most sought-after models in fashion, gracing the covers of magazines and walking the runways of haute couture shows across the globe. Yet, despite being the consummate professional, Véronique wants  
    little of the glamorous life that modeling affords her. The beloved daughter of a hardworking single mother, she has always preferred spending time at home or with her kindhearted boyfriend to attending lavish parties. When a quick getaway presents a  
    welcome break on the heels of Paris Fashion Week and before a Vogue cover shoot in Tokyo, Véronique is thrilled, eager to escape the mayhem of her busy schedule. Then, out of nowhere, a tragic explosion at Zaventem Airport in Brussels changes her life forever.  
     
    The ruthless terrorist attack has the entire world on edge. Véronique finds herself hospitalized and alone, devastated to learn that the blast has killed both of the people she loved most. She is also forced to confront the harsh reality that she has been severely  
    injured, her famous appearance forever altered. As she plunges into seclusion, the industry that once adored her believes she has fallen off the map. In truth, she is struggling to find herself again after losing everything, and to discover what truly matters in life. But her  
    mother’s will, accompanied by a letter Véronique never knew existed, reveals long-held secrets, introducing her to a world she hadn’t even known was possible.  
     
    As Véronique forges bonds old and new, she begins to see a light beyond the darkness she has come to inhabit, finding peace in opportunities to help others, and redefining for herself what beauty is and what it truly means to be beautiful. Danielle Steel presents a  
    story of one woman’s breathtaking perseverance in moving beyond tragedy to a life more meaningful than she could ever have imagined.

    From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes Finding Prince Charming: a secret baby romance.... 
    As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming—just like in the story my mom used to read to me. 
    But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas. 
    When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn’t exist. 
    He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess—before he disappeared without a trace. 
    After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending—turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who’s now my entire world. 
    And while I might’ve given up on finding my Prince Charming, I’ll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did.

    Mirdza Strelkova should have minded her own business on the long train ride, because she knew just how nasty violent men could be. Perhaps that's precisely why she stepped in to help the frightened mother and terrified child. 
    But in her wildest dreams, she never imagined she'd be tossed out the window of a moving train, broken and bleeding. And she could never have predicted the dark horse who would come to her aid, or the comeback story that lay before them both.
