“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

The Staff Recommends:

The Help (Hardcover)

$24.95

The Help is a glorious first novel, set in Mississippi in the 1960s. An appealing protagonist who yearns to be a writer interviews a dozen black maids who work for the families of her friends. Juxtaposed with King's fateful march, history in the making and the changing South and a changing America are beautifully portrayed. Like the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, which I also highly recommend, the plucky writer and the people she befriends transcends what at first seems like a tough subject for an upbeat charming book.
