Jacquelyn Mitchard recommends
 Entering Normal (2001) Anne LeClaire "By the time you finish reading this book, Opal and Rose will be members of your household." |  Song of the Cuckoo Bird (2005) Amulya Malladi "Mesmerizing . . . a sprawling, gorgeous intergenerational saga." |  My Enemy's Cradle (2007) Sara Young "Tenderly and fiercely felt, Young's tale of a young Jewish woman trapped in the sinister web of the Nazi Lebensborn program is that true find, a story truly never before told. And yet, through emotions we know -- that a mother must cherish her child, that hope will refuse despair, that passion will deny even mortal danger -- it immediately becomes our own." | |
 The Richest Season (2008) Maryann McFadden "In Maryann McFadden's brave and carefully made novel, The Richest Season, two women set out on open-ended odysseys, one to find her life, one to find meaning in her death. Lonely Joanna gives up all she knows for a single chance at all she needs. When they meet, Grace relinquishes her aloof solitude to embrace life at its end, banking on the borrowed courage of a stranger. McFadden is out of the gate and on her way." |
