It was too good to be true.
Eboni Goodman has earned her Master’s in Social Work . . . only to be stuck delivering groceries. So when she lands a position as Administrator for an experimental village designed to reduce homelessness, she’s thrilled. Her stubborn optimism has finally borne fruit, and she is ready to change lives—starting with her own.
Except the South Jersey town isn’t exactly welcoming of their new neighbors. Eboni is determined to prove the program works, even when the hostility outside the gates is nothing compared to the glitches happening inside the village. And the only person she can rely on is Michael, a broody security guard and former local who’s only recently returned to town.
Ghosts of the town’s past come to light, strange occurrences stack up, and the organization’s philanthropic facade starts to crack. As Eboni and Michael are pulled into a web of intrigue that puts the program, the villagers, and their lives at risk, they discover that the truth behind her dream job may be a nightmare with roots deeper than they could have ever imagined.
After all, it takes a village . . .

SILVER DAWN by Marie Lu
JANE BONE by Julia Heaberlin
It was a wild and fascinating trial, a rare “no body” murder case. The stakes hinged on a single bone, and no one knew the victim’s name or could find another speck of her. The child in the witness chair led the jury through dark and rushing water to a conviction.
Two decades later, Ana is an emergency room doctor focused on the traumas in front of her. But she’s still inextricably linked to the unidentified bone she called Jane.
No one knows that better than the man who sits in prison, who writes Ana every year. He’s holding on to something she still desperately wants: A name. A location. As their secrets pull them together again, and old ghosts come to life, it becomes clear someone else out there wants to make sure Jane remains buried—and maybe bury Ana, too.
Running out of time, Ana is torn between seeking comfort from a childhood friend-turned-cop who knows the girl she was, and a trauma surgeon who knows who she’s become. In the end, only Ana can save herself.
Led by a protagonist full of poetic heart, JANE BONE is a psychological thriller that reads like The Pitt meets Bones.

AUTUMNAL DAYS: Courage, Integrity, and Ownership of the Soul by James Hollis, PhD
We’re told that aging must be avoided and delayed, denying its inevitability and therefore its wisdom. In this book, beloved author and teacher James Hollis embraces the perils and the wonders of stepping into one’s autumnal days. Hollis invites us to ask fundamental questions about life, agency, grace, and forgiveness through the lens of maturation.
“Every choice made, not made, brings about consequences,” writes Hollis, “and the widening ripples of each intersect influence us, and alter the texture of our hours, whether we know it or not.” AUTUMNAL DAYS guides us through the importance of this recognition and the necessity of acceptance and compassion in the face of life’s many shortcomings. Through essays and questions for reflection, Hollis teaches us to meet regret as a compass for moral action, to make creativity a fundamental principle for life, to discern beauty amidst everything, and to maintain ownership of our souls.
With stories, myths, philosophies, Jungian analysis, and Hollis’s charming voice, AUTUMNAL DAYS reminds us that the world is a vast canvas and we fill it with energetic scenarios that drive our souls.
