Another spring reminds the Amish of Cedar Creek, Missouri, that for everything there is a season. Zanna Lambright is finally marrying Jonny Ropp, and friends and family have come from far and wide to celebrate. Among them is young widow Rosemary Yutzy, mother of toddler Katie, whose husband was tragically killed last fall.

Book Description
Can love last beyond the grave? Sylvie Davis is a ballerina who can’t dance. A broken leg ended her career, but Sylvie’s pain runs deeper. What broke her heart was her father’s death, and what’s breaking her spirit is her mother’s remarriage—a union that’s only driven an even deeper wedge into their already tenuous relationship. Uprooting her from her Manhattan apartment and shipping her to Alabama is her mother’ s solution for Sylvie’s unhappiness. Her father’s cousin is restoring a family home in a town rich with her family’s history. And that’s where things start to get shady. As it turns out, her family has a lot more history than Sylvie ever knew. More unnerving, though, are the two guys that she can’t stop thinking about. Shawn Maddox, the resident golden boy, seems to be perfect in every way. But Rhys—a handsome, mysterious foreign guest of her cousin’s—has a hold on her that she doesn’t quite understand. Then she starts seeing things. Sylvie’s lost nearly everything—is she starting to lose her mind as well? "Lush with Southern atmosphere, The Splendor Falls expertly weaves together romance, tension, and mystery. Haunting and unforgettable!" --Carrie Ryan, bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth "Sylvie's voice is sharp and articulate, and Clement-Moore . . . anchors the story in actual locations and history. . . . Her ear for both adolescent bitchery and sweetness remains sure, and her ability to write realistic, edgy dialogue without relying on obscenity or stereotype is a pleasure."-Publishers Weekly "Long, satisfying and just chilling enough, this will please a wide audience and leave readers hoping for more."-Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
A Black Heart tells the gripping story of a young girl's development from childhood into womanhood. The book opens with the traumatic loss of the heroine Miriam's father, which leaves her at the mercy of an emotionally unstable mother. As Miriam grows older, she grapples with questions of sexuality and spirituality and the tension between them. She struggles to reconcile her practice with her Christian beliefs. The novel is set in apartheid South Africa when racism and oppression were at their height. Not only does this intensify the conflict between mother and daughter, it also creates new problems for the heroine. As the title suggests, Miriam with her white background relates differently from most of her peers to her colleagues and students "across the colour line". While her choices have far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences, ultimately she triumphs when she holds firm to her own convictions. Told in Miriam's voice, this novel is a compelling and sensitive portrayal of a woman's coming of age, particularly in terms of her own sexuality and her growing awareness of social injustices. Despair gives way to hope as the political climate changes, and Miriam's own circumstances give rise to a new beginning. "A quintessentially South African novel" Russell Kaschula, professor of African languages Rhodes University, South Africa
