Duma Key
Summary
Winner of the 2009 Audie Award for Fiction A terrible accident takes Edgar Freemantle's right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him with little but rage as he begins the ordeal of rehabilitation. When his marriage suddenly ends, Edgar begins to wish he hadn't survived his injuries. He wants out. His psychologist suggests a new life distant from the Twin Cities, along with something else: "Edgar, does anything make you happy?" "I used to sketch." "Take it up again. You need hedges...hedges against the night." Edgar leaves for Duma Key, an eerily undeveloped splinter of the Florida coast. The sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico calls out to him, and Edgar draws. Once he meets Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick old woman with roots tangled deep in Duma Key, Edgar begins to paint, sometimes feverishly; many of his paintings have a power that cannot be controlled. When Elizabeth's past unfolds and the ghosts of her childhood begin to appear, the damage of which they are capable is truly devastating. The tenacity of love, the perils of creativity, the mysteries of memory, and the nature of the supernatural: Stephen King gives us a novel as fascinating as it is gripping and terrifying.

The Storm Beyond the Tides
Summary
For fans of The Nightingale, Orphan Train, and Sarah’s Key comes a timeless novel about love and loss on an island in Maine at the onset of World War Two. July 1939. War is on the horizon, but on Monk Island, Maine, life goes on as usual. As the daughter of a lobsterman, Ellie Ames’ future seems limited until a mysterious German couple comes off the ferry with their 19-year-old son. From the moment she meets Karl Brink, the two become inseparable, but not everyone approves because locals are suspicious of outsiders. Ellie ignores their scorn, however, and the secret she learns about Karl’s family makes her even more determined to be with him. The magical summer ends when the Brinks suddenly have to go home. And although Karl promises to return in the fall, by then Europe is at war. Two years pass, and Ellie has all but given up hope when she gets a letter in the mail that will change her life forever. The Storm Beyond the Tides is the story of the unlikely romance between a small-town girl and a German on the eve of the Second World War, and explores a frightening time in America’s past - when U-boats prowled the East Coast and put small coastal communities on the frontline of a global conflict.
