In the remnants of the Pacific Northwest, 110 years in the future, fourteen-year-old Tessa Wright’s quiet life in the Wilds is shattered. Forced to leave everything she knows for the capital city of Bannock, she struggles to navigate public school for the first time while grappling with the grief of losing her family.

From the Stacks
Featuring a different, randomly-selected book every week.
Historical
The Witch in the Mountain Pass | Daniel W. Davison | Magical Realism | 1930s Greece (N) (I) (F)
The Witch in the Mountain Pass is set in northern Greece in 1934. A witch from Dodona sets up a taverna in a mountain pass near a Greek village built on the ruins of an Ottoman garrison. The witch has been chosen to right an ancient wrong and fulfill an obscure mission on the north bank of the river Acheron before she runs out of time, or time takes her away.
Nonfiction
Closing the Gap, a memoir | Monica Nastase | Memoir (B) (I) (F)
'Closing the Gap' is a story of breakthrough. A fictionalized memoir of a sick, poor and underappreciated woman in her 30s and her adventures during the 5 years after getting divorced that led her to live her best life. She first loses everything - people, houses and objects - which was not meant to be in her life, and then she gets rid of her own inner devils: insecurity and self-abandonment. ‘Closing the Gap’ is a warning of what could happen to any woman who silences her own intuition and heart’s longing for too long. It’s a book of comfort for women who go through similar events, a companion to remind them they are never alone through the hardships, the grief and the dark road ahead; a reminder of our shared humanity. Through personal storytelling, the fictionalized memoir ‘Closing the Gap’ represents the voice of a woman who didn’t dare speak her truth until it was almost too late. Read it, chapter by chapter here.
