Neely Davis is no
ordinary pastry chef:
she can taste emotions,
sensing the ingredients
that will touch her
customers souls. Her
gift has never failed her
… until she meets a free
-spirited bride-to-be and
her overbearing society
mother. The two are unable to agree on a
single wedding detail, and their bickering
leaves Neely's intuition frustratingly silent
right when she needs it most. Neely is
struggling to make sense of her own
conflicting emotions, much less those of
her hard-to-please bride. But as she
embarks on a flavorful quest to craft the
perfect wedding celebration, she'll
uncover a family history that sheds light
on both the missing ingredients and her
own problems.
From David Bell comes
a chilling novel of guilt,
regret, and a past that
refuses to die. Three
months earlier, Jenna
was supposed to meet
her lifelong best friend,
Celia. But when Jenna
arrived late, she found
that Celia had
Disappeared—and hasn't been seen again.
Even though Jenna has obsessively surfed
message boards devoted to missing persons
cases, she is no closer to finding any
answers, or easing her guilt. But when her
son's new girlfriend disappears as well, a
stricken Jenna begins to unwind the
tangled truth behind Celia's tragedy. And
as long-buried secrets finally come to light,
she discovers how completely lives can be
shattered by a few simple lies.

Kilee was a typical sixteen
-year-old, thinking about
school, soccer, and her
friends. But her last
ordinary day erupted in an
explosion that consumed
her house, burning over 45
percent of her body and
sending her to the very
brink of death. After surgeries, skin grafts,
physical therapy, and excruciating pain,
she had to find a new "normal," relearning
how to tie her shoes, put on her makeup,
and even turn a doorknob. Beautiful Scars
is a story of healing and hope, reminding
us all that we're never powerless, never
alone, and that each challenge we face
helps make us the people we are meant to
be.

The New Neighbor
COMING IN JULY
Tuesday, June 28
7:00 pm
90-year-old Margaret is
content hiding from the
world—she rarely leaves
the Tennessee
mountaintop where she
lives, finding comfort in
the mystery novels that
keep her company until
she spots a woman who's
moved into the house
across the pond. Her neighbor, Jennifer, is
also looking to hide. On the run from her
old life, she and her young son, have
moved to a quiet town where no one from
her past can find her. In Jennifer, Margaret
sees both a potential companion and a
mystery to be solved, but Jennifer refuses
to talk about herself, her son, his missing
father, or her past. Frustrated, Margaret
crosses more and more boundaries in
pursuit of the truth, threatening to unravel
the new life Jennifer has so painstakingly
created and reveal some secrets of her own.

Heartbreak comes in all

There's Pen's increasingly distant best

best friend, the equal-parts-infuriating-andyet-somehow-amazing Eph, who has been
all kinds of confusing lately. But
sometimes the biggest heartbreak of all is
learning to let go of that wondrous time
before you ever knew things could be
broken.

The Nest
Wednesday, June 22
7:00 pm
Every family has its problems. But even
among the most troubled, the Plumb family
stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional.
Years of simmering tensions finally reach a
breaking point as three of the Plumb
siblings gather to confront their charismatic
and reckless older brother, freshly released
from rehab and a scandalous car accident
that drained the inheritance all four of them
had different plans for. Brought together as
never before, Leo, Melody, Jack, and
Beatrice must grapple with old resentments,
present-day truths, and the significant
emotional and financial toll of the accident,
as well as finally acknowledge the choices
they have made in their own lives.
