The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens

Jeff Talbot’s college English course writing assignment to write a brief biography leads him to a local nursing home and Carl Iverson. Carl, dying of cancer, had never been released from prison after being convicted of the rape and murder of a neighbor girl. Carl’s only condition is that he and Joe both be honest when working together. The more Joe digs into Carl’s conviction, the more he believes Carl, but discovers that there is someone who doesn’t want the truth to be told.

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some come to lose weight,

The Kinship of Secrets by Eugenia Kim

From the author of The Calligrapher’s Daughter comes the riveting story of two sisters – one raised in the United States, the other in South Korea – and the family that bound them together even as the Korean War kept them apart. Told through alternating perspectives of the distanced sisters and inspired by a true story, The Kinship of Secrets explores the cruelty of war, the power of hope and what it means to be a sister.
