Book excerpt: An addictive and moving debut about love, fidelity, sports, and growing up when you least expect it, told through the irresistible voices of three generations It's the spring of 1994 in Cooperstown, New York, and Joanie Cole, the beloved matriarch of the Obermeyer family, has unexpectedly died in her sleep. Now, for the first time, three generations are living together under one roof and are quickly encroaching on one another's fragile orbits. Eighty-six-year-old Bob Cole is adrift in his daughter's house without his wife. Anne Obermeyer is increasingly suspicious of her husband, Hugh's, late nights and missed dinners, and Hugh, principal of the town's preschool, is terrified that a scandal at school will erupt and devastate his life. Fifteen-year-old tennis-team hopeful Julia is caught in a love triangle with Sam and Carl, her would-be teammates and two best friends, while her brother, Teddy, the star pitcher of Cooperstown High, will soon catch sight of something that will change his family forever. At the heart of the Obermeyers' present-day tremors is the scandal of The Sex Cure, a thinly veiled roman à clef from the 1960s, which shook the small village of Cooperstown to the core. When Anne discovers a battered copy underneath her parents' old mattress, the Obermeyers cannot escape the family secrets that come rushing to the surface. With its heartbreaking insight into the messy imperfections of family, love, and growing up, Callie Wright's Love All is an irresistible comic story of coming-of-age—at any age.

Brad Gelderman rode his Harley into the small town of Lake Howling with one intention. Find Ethan, apologize, then leave. No messy emotion required. What he hadn’t factored on was arriving the day of his brother’s wedding, or meeting Macy Reynolds. A LONG WAY HOME (Newman and Hope) Opposites attract. Watch out Newman. Paul Theodore Newman likes his life to run smoothly. His sheets have a thread count between 1400-1500, and his spreadsheets are always on point. Maybe when he’s back in Lake Howling he lets down his guard and his personal hygiene slips, but there is absolutely no need for Hope Lawrence to take shots at him because she dresses che dumpster. Her fashion sense makes him shudder, as do her kale smoothies! If you enjoy your small town romance sizzling with a side of crazy then Lake Howling is for you. Meet the real authority in town, the local book club, and maybe ask Willow to draw you a memento! Swim in the ice cold lake, then warm up with a coffee and mystery muffin at The Hoot Café. Plenty of feels and laughs, all wrapped up in a town that will have you packing your bags to head there from the opening page.
