SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Jaime Parker Stickle discusses & signs Take Hart: A Thriller (Corey in Los Angeles #2)
DESCRIPTION:Between her LAPD consulting gig\, fledgling indie news blog\, and postpartum panic disorder\, former TV journalist Corey Tracey-Lieberman is barely keeping it together. Then a mother named Sonja Hart vanishes in her Highland Park neighborhood\, and the case is all but ignored. Sparked by maternal fury\, Corey’s investigative instincts come roaring back to life. \nTo see the truth clearly\, Corey must stop taking the meds that keep her anxiety at bay. Forced to confront her own failing marriage\, she struggles with her growing feelings for her crime-fighting partner. Strapping her fifteen-month-old son to her chest\, she follows a trail that leads from a suspicious house fire to the furtive activities of new neighbors. \nThe more she digs\, the more she uncovers about the secret toll of gentrification–and the closer she comes to the verge of a breakdown. And the horror dawns that the killer she’s been chasing has been watching her all along…

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Diana Giovinnazzo discusses & signs Daughters of Naples
DESCRIPTION:Diana Giovinazzo returns to the historical genre in a lush and thrilling novel\, perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Elena Ferrante. \nSet in Naples\, Italy\, during World War II\, three sisters must survive in the face of danger. \nNaples\, 1940. The three Cozzolino sisters\, Leta\, Marcella\, and Bianca\, live together in their small home during Mussolini’s domination. Leta runs the De Rosa dress shop\, where she takes care of her mother-in-law while her husband is at war. Marcella is an apprentice to a midwife\, bringing up the next generation of Italian soldiers\, much to the pride of her boyfriend\, who is inspired by Mussolini’s rule. But when their youngest sister\, Bianca\, decides to join the partigiani–the Italian resistance–after her childhood sweetheart is sent to war\, familial tensions are brought to light. \nThe sisters are soon at odds\, questioning where they stand in the war effort. When Leta’s old flame\, Pasquale\, asks if he can use the dress shop to send messages for the partigiani\, she refuses. But when Naples is bombed\, the sisters are forced to reevaluate their stances and how far they are willing to go for each other and their country. With the threat of Nazism looming over the city after Mussolini is ousted\, the Cozzolino sisters will have to confront what they are willing to sacrifice and their loyalties to each other and to their country. \nThis inspiring novel examines the true nature of sisterly bonds and what one will do to survive.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Yance Wyatt discusses & signs The Watersmith
DESCRIPTION:When hard-drinking handyman Jack Calloway discovers an old moonshine still behind the Smoky Mountain cabin he plans to flip\, his teenage son dares him to get it running. Jack accepts– until his wife\, Jolene\, tries to sabotage the first batch and is horribly burned in the process. Wracked with guilt\, Jack sends their son away and moves Jolene into the cabin to recover while he tries to sober up. Doctors diagnose Jolene with a rare post-traumatic dementia that responds only to scent– smell being the strongest trigger of memory. Desperate to help\, Jack begins distilling essential oils from her favorite flowers\, searching for the one that might bring her back. When a fleeting moment of clarity during a visit from their son slips away again\, Jack grows frantic– willing to distill anything in his grasp to reach her. A haunting\, tender tale of love\, regret\, and the volatile bonds between parents and children\, The Watersmith is a story of oil and water\, memory and mercy– and how far one man will go to bring his family home.
