This Must Be the Place (Hardcover)

By Kate Racculia
$25.00

“Never has it been more aptly presented than in this engaging novel that love can take us all on unexpected journeys—often when we least expect it. Here is a story that is part mystery, part meditation, part romance, part imperative. It is presented from different points of view: cake-baking Mona, mistress of a boarding house, for whom a long-ago act of love for a friend leads to a complicated romance. Mona's teenage daughter, Oneida, whose tentative forays into love bring her far more than she anticipated. And Arthur, a man widowed too soon, on a path that will lead him to understand who his young wife really was. Kate Racculia has a strong and original voice, and a lot to say about the chances we take—or miss.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Last Time I Saw You

Driftless (Paperback)

By David Rhodes
$16.00

Winner of the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, Driftless, came out in paperback in 2009. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time. I got it from a friend and it sat in a stack until Sunday afternoon. I found myself setting aside time so I could read it and finished it last night. Our store book group should read it. The author wrote 3 books in the 70's and was in a motorcycle accident and is paralyzed from the chest down. This is his first book in 30 years. It was worth the wait!
