  Passionate, headstrong, and fiercely independent, twenty-one-year-old Ann Veronica Stanley is determined to live her life to the fullest. When her autocratic father attempts to curb her academic ambitions and social experiences, she escapes her stodgy, conventional world and sets out alone to make a fresh start in London. There, enrolled as a student of biology, she discovers a flourishing unknown world of intellectuals, suffragettes, socialists and free love. But the true cost of her new freedom becomes clear only when she falls for the brilliant, charismatic—and married—academic, Capes. 
  A sensation when it was first published in 1909 due to its groundbreaking treatment of female sexuality, Ann Veronica is a fascinating and optimistic look at one woman’s quest for personal liberation in a male-dominated society.

  In a quiet German town, Councillor Krespel lives as both a master craftsman and a man of unsettling contradictions—brilliant, erratic, and consumed by an obsession with violins. 
  He builds without plans. He destroys as often as he creates. And among his many instruments, one stands apart—a mysterious Cremona violin that seems to carry a voice of its own. 
  When the young and gifted Antonia enters his life, beauty and tragedy begin to intertwine. Her voice possesses a rare, almost supernatural power—one that promises greatness, but at a terrible cost. As music becomes both expression and danger, Krespel is forced into a cruel choice between art and life, passion and preservation. 
  Told with the haunting intensity of German Romanticism, The Cremona Violin is a psychological tale of obsession, love, and the fragile boundary between genius and madness. 
  Narrated with depth and emotional precision by Michael Lyons, this timeless story explores the price of brilliance—and the silence that follows when music fades.

  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  The Genesis of the Doughnut Club: When John Henry died there seemed to be nothing for me to do but pack up and go back east. I didn't want to do it, but forty-five years of sojourning in this world have taught me that a body has to do a good many things she doesn't want to do, and that most of them turn out to be for the best in the long run.

  In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour becomes the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. While the area is American by law, it's still Mexican and Indian by custom and belief. During the years that follow, Latour tirelessly but gently spreads his faith while facing external and internal obstacles. Loosely based on the life of Jean-Baptiste Lamy and the construction of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, this novel chronicles the events that occur after the capture of the southwest by American forces during the Mexican-American war.
