Beloved by Toni Morrison
Sign up at the library and get a copy of the book to borrow.
Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
Sign up at the library and get a copy of the book. Led by Denise Stankovics
By the author of Bel Canto and The Dutch House, this novel was described in the New York Times book review as a vision of a beautifully, bucolically simple nuclear family with hints of Our Town, Dr. Zhivago and Chekhov’s Three Sisters. As a mother tells the story of her past, her daughters examine their own lives, their relationship with their mother and their understanding of the world they thought they knew.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Sign up at the library and get a copy of the book to borrow.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.

Comfort & Joy by Kristin Hannah
Sign up at the library and get a copy of the book to borrow.
Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind--to just walk away--and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.
