All Things Cease to Appear– Elizabeth Brundage
“One afternoon, George Clare comes home to find his wife murdered and their three-year-old daughter alone in her room down the hall. And he is the immediate suspect-the question of his guilt echoing in a story shot through with secrets both personal and professional. While his parents rescue him from suspicion, a persistent cop is stymied at every turn in proving Clare a heartless murderer. The pall of death is ongoing, and relentless; behind one crime are others, and more than twenty years will pass before a hard kind of justice is finally served. A classic “who-dun-it” that morphs into a “why-and-how-dun-it,” this is also a rich and complex portrait of a psychopath and a marriage, and an astute study of the various taints that can scar very different families, and even an entire community”
Girl Through Glass – Sari Wilson
“Interweaving narratives that move between past and present follow a young ballerina whose life is upended when she falls in love with her much-older mentor, and a professor of dance at a Midwestern college who has a risky affair with a student in 1977. Maurice DuPont is a reclusive balletomane who becomes her mentor- touching dark places within herself and sparking unexpected desires that will upend both their lives. In the present day, Kate, a professor of dance at a Midwestern college, embarks on a risky affair with a student that threatens to obliterate her career and capsizes the life she has created for her reinvented self. A letter from a man she’s long thought dead hurls Kate into a past she thought she had left behind.”

A Mother’s Reckoning:Living in the Aftermath of a Tragedy – Sue Klebold
“Klebold is the mother of one of the Columbine shooters. In A Mother’s Reckoning, she chronicles with unflinching honesty her journey as a mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible. In the hope that the insights and understanding she has gained may help other families recognize when a child is in distress, she tells her story in full, drawing upon her personal journals, the videos and writings that Dylan left behind, and on countless interviews with mental health experts.”
