Room
By Emma Donoghue
Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, ROOM is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work. |

The Good Daughters
By Joyce Maynard
They were born on the same day, in the same small New Hampshire hospital, into families that could hardly have been less alike. Maynard chronicles the unlikely ways the two women's lives parallel and intersect—from childhood, to marriage, to parenthood, to deaths of parents, to divorce, —until past secrets and forgotten memories unexpectedly come to light, forcing them to reevaluate themselves and each other.
