THE LAKE AND THE LOST GIRL by Jacquelyn Vincenta
The Lake and the Lost Girl tells the riveting story of secrets from the past unraveling one family from the inside out, and two women, separated by 60 years of history, determined to pursue their dreams. The author began her writing career as a police beat reporter in Louisiana and later founded and managed a publishing company, specializing in international trade publications. Today, from her Kalamazoo home, she writes fiction and non-fiction, reads a wide variety of literature, spends time on local Earth-care projects, and volunteers at Michigan lighthouses.

'The Secret Life of Pets 2' coming September 22
This 3D computer-animated comedy is the sequel to the 2016 hit The Secret Life of Pets. It features the voices of Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart, Dana Carvey, Ellie Kemper, Harrison Ford and others. This new chapter in the life of terrier Max humorously explores the emotional lives of pets, the deep bond between them and the still unanswered question, "What are your pets really doing when you're not at home?" (Rated PG for some action and rude humor.)
