Raised on California's idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.

"From acclaimed author Jamie Brenner comes a stunning new novel about three generations of women who discover that the scandalous books of their past may just be the key to saving their family's future.
For decades, the Hollander Estates winery has been the premier destination for lavish parties and romantic day trips on the North Fork of Long Island. But behind the lush vineyards and majestic estate house, the Hollander family fortunes have suffered and the threat of a sale brings old wounds to the surface. For matriarch Vivian, she fears that this summer season could be their last-and that selling their winery to strangers could expose a dark secret she's harbored for decades. Meanwhile, her daughter, Leah, who was turned away from the business years ago, finds her marriage at a crossroads and returns home for a sorely needed escape. And granddaughter Sadie, grappling with a crisis of her own, runs to the vineyard looking for inspiration.
But when Sadie uncovers journals from Vivian's old book club dedicated to scandalous novels of decades past, she realizes that this might be the distraction they all need. Reviving the 'trashy' book club, the Hollander women find that the stories hold the key to their fight not only for the vineyeard, but for the life and love they've wanted all along.
Blush is a bighearted story of love, family, and second chances, and an ode to the blockbuster novels that have shaped generations of women."

But there are dark and twisted secrets lurking beneath that could have Amy and Baby paying with not only their freedom . . . but also their lives."
"The thrilling conclusion to the survival story In the After, set in a near future where Earth has been overrun by vicious, predatory creatures.
It's been three months since Amy escaped New Hope, and she's been surviving on her own, like she did in the After. Then one day, her former fellow Guardian's voice rings out in her earpiece. And in a desperate tone, Kay utters the four words Amy had hoped she would never hear: Dr. Reynolds has Baby. Now it's a race against time. In order to save Baby, Amy must make her way to Fort Black, a prison turned survivor colony, where she will need to find Ken, Kay's brother. He alone holds the key to Baby's survival.
But one small slipup could set off a downward spiral that would not only cost Baby and Amy their lives, but threaten the very survival of the people in the After."

Her cousin Sudha is the daughter of the black sheep of that same family.
Sudha is startlingly beautiful; Anju is not. Despite those differences,
since the day on which the two girls were born, the same day their
fathers died—mysteriously and violently—Sudha and Anju have been
sisters of the heart. Bonded in ways even their mothers cannot
comprehend, the two girls grow into womanhood as if their fates as well
as their hearts were merged.
But, when Sudha learns a dark
family secret, that connection is shattered. For the first time in their
lives, the girls know what it is to feel suspicion and distrust. Urged
into arranged marriages, Sudha and Anju's lives take opposite turns.
Sudha becomes the dutiful daughter-in-law of a rigid small-town
household. Anju goes to America with her new husband and learns to live
her own life of secrets. When tragedy strikes each of them, however,
they discover that despite distance and marriage, they have only each
other to turn to.

India, this exceptionally moving novel tells a story at once familiar
