September Girl
Summary
A novel about first loves, last loves, second chances - and all of life's messiness in between. Newly widowed at the start of the new millennium, novelist Olivia Hammond is at loose ends - until an unexpected discovery resurfaces a long-ago secret and makes her question the story she thought she knew about her past. As she embarks on a book tour for her new novel, Livvie reconnects with Robert Yardley, a legendary photographer and her first love. During a road trip to Robert's Southern childhood home, the two dissect their splintered relationship and the life they might have had. 1965, New York City. In an era when women were relegated to the role of office girls, young, ambitious magazine writer Livvie meets seasoned photojournalist Robert while covering the Great Northeastern Blackout. Theirs is a globe-spanning, news-chasing romance worthy of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Livvie imagines it lasting forever - but instead, it burns bright and fast, for reasons she's never entirely sure of, and irrevocably alters the course of her future. Alternating between the past and the present, September Girl will appeal to listeners of Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney, Park Avenue Summer by Renee Rosen, and Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. It's a novel about a changing era, about the reasons we keep secrets, and about whether the life we would have chosen is ever the life we were meant to lead. Includes a reading group guide and book club discussion questions. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Last Dance at the Savoy
Summary
When Kathryn Leigh Scott's husband was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurological disease for which there is (so far) no cure, it was a devastating time for both of them, not least because so little is known about the cause or treatment of a disease that affects some 20,000 Americans, a number similar to that of Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Last Dance at the Savoy is both a personal story about Scott's husband, Geoff Miller, the founding editor of Los Angeles Magazine, who lived life fully despite having a terminal illness, and a sharing of her insights on dealing with the day-to-day issues of caring for someone with a progressive neurological condition. Scott "often yearned for someone to figuratively take my hand and walk with me through the difficult times; I hope through this book I can reach out to you with encouragement and practical advice". Last Dance at the Savoy includes a resource guide that provides facts about prime-of-life diseases; contact information for support organizations, research studies, and clinical trials; where to find handicap products and equipment; and recommended caregiving publications and family conferences. Contains a foreword by Yvette Bordelon, MD, PhD, a neurologist at UCLA whose clinical work involves the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders. A percentage of royalties from Last Dance at the Savoy are donated to CurePSP.

Determined to prove her innocence Meg teams up with her quirky, movie-mad best friend to track down her fugitive husband and exact justice. But getting her life, and her career, back on track is harder than auditioning for Spielberg. Especially when her life is threatened. Meg has to trust Jack, the man who may want her behind bars…or as his leading lady for life.
