These days, her troubled family needs that capable woman from the past, the one she calls “Janelle Before.” Enter Lana, an alluring and magnetic psychic healer who meets secretly with Janelle. Lana coaxes her to remember the circumstances of her accident to recover Janelle’s “best self.”
Instead, Janelle uncovers the ugly truth behind that night. The revelations unravel Janelle’s marriage, disrupt her family, and turn her small southern town upside down. Written with wry humor, “Her Best Self” offers a diabolically entertaining tale of deception, temptation, and love, filled with dark twists.
What happens when the transgressions of the past come back with a vengeance? This compelling premise will have readers wanting to talk about this book with friends.
YOUNG READERS: Shipwrecked Has Arrived!
“The Islanders: Shipwrecked” by Mary Alice Monroe and Angela May, (ISBN 9781665933001, Aladdin, $17.99 hardcover, 272 pp)
On Saturday, June 22nd, young readers are invited to Hutchinson Square to meet New York Times best-selling author Angela May for the brand-new release of “The Islanders: Shipwrecked,” the third book in this best-selling trilogy, and one that will be featured in young reader book discussions at both the Timrod Library and at Main Street Reads!
This book is for ages 8-11. It once again features beloved characters Jake, Macon, and Lovie, but this time, they must fight to survive at sea.
Yes, Jake Potter’s biggest dream finally comes true: he gets his very own boat. Luckily, it’s just in time for another summer of fun on Dewees Island with his best friends, Macon and Lovie.
But on their first fishing trip, the engine dies, and the three friends are adrift at sea.
When a storm carries them to a small, uninhabited island far from Dewees, the kids must use their strength, courage and knowledge to survive as they await rescue.
Like Treasure Island and Swiss Family Robinson, we all love a deserted island adventure. What could be better than one based in our own Lowcountry?
