Book Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book." --Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest. When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted. But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua. Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Abby, a precocious, motherless twelve-year-old, constantly irritates her fastidious father, Charles Martin, who is a haberdasher in Washington City. The time is spring, 1865. Abbys a rather clumsy little redhead with freckles who is careless in her dress, is late for breakfast, asks countless questions, lacks any visible sign of becoming a lady and is obsessed with President Lincoln. Martin doesnt understand why a child, especially a girl, should be so interested in Mr. Lincoln and the Civil War that appears to be coming to an end, although the South is struggling to hold on. Martin refuses to listen when Abby tries to explain that her mother, who died a year ago, had admired the President and told Abby that if she paid attention, she could learn compassion and humility from him. Abby always becomes angry when magazines and newspapers call her beloved Mr. Lincoln all manner of shameful names, such as: ugly, buffoon and gorilla, Shes determined to meet him and shake his hand one day. Robert, the boy she secretly likes, has gone to the White House and shaken hands with the President. Unaware of her fathers sense of helplessness with regard to her upbringing, and the depth of his pain over the death of her mother, Abby concludes that her father doesnt love her, something she desperately needs. Two former slaves reside in their house: Shala who is their housekeeper and Yabu, a tall, quiet boy of thirteen whom Shala rescued when he ran away from an abusive owner. Yabus duties are to help Shala and to accompany Abby any time she is permitted to take a walk. The streets of Washington City are full of soldiers, prisoners, horses and all manner of war equipment. The city still fears that General Robert E. Lee may try to capture the city. So, even when cannons boom all over the city to announce the end of the war, Abby is terrified. Her only friends have moved away, but her Uncle Chris, who lost a leg at Gettysburg, visits occasionally, and they play checkers. Each night, she finds comfort in opening her diary and writing a letter to her mother. A friend of Abbys father, Luke Cunningham, arrives from Springfield, Illinois, to get help in locating his missing brother. He wishes Mr. Lincoln could help. During her walks, Abby becomes acquainted with Tad Lincoln, the Presidents youngest son, who plays with his dog on the White House lawn. Tad offers to take Abby into the White House to meet his father someday. Disobeying her father, because she just cannot stay indoors on a sparkling spring day, Abby forces Yabu to sneak off with her to the White House. When caught, she uses the excuse that Tad said tomorrow she may bring Mr. Cunningham, and he will take them to his fathers office, which he does. So, finally, Abby shakes the Presidents hand, is served refreshments by Mrs. Lincoln, plays with Tad and sees his little theater, a day shell never forget. Abbys father had promised to take her to Fords Theatre on Friday evening when the President and Mrs. Lincoln plan to be there. However, her father is ill, so Mr. Cunningham takes Abby. Pandemonium ensues when John Wilkes Booth shoots Mr. Lincoln, leaps from the Presidents box onto the stage and escapes. Somehow, Abby and her escort make it to the sidewalk in front of the theater. Amidst the frantic, shoving crowd, Abby is torn from Mr. Cunninghams hands. In shock and unable to free herself from under a mans voluminous cape, she is nearly crushed to death. Police rescue her, and Mr. Cunningham takes her home. The story ends in May, 1865, when Abby is invited to Roberts party. Its her party, too, since they share the same birthday. Robert thrills Abby with special attention, and she finds she has made new friends after telling them about her exciting visit to the White House. Because Abbys father sees the extent of her sorrow over Mr. Lincoln

Book Description
The New York Times and USA Today bestseller by Sheila Connolly! Abby Kimball has just moved to New England with her boyfriend and is trying to settle in, but the experience is proving to be quite unsettling, to say the least. While on a tour of local historic homes, Abby witnesses a family scene that leaves her gasping for breath—because the family has been dead for nearly a century. Another haunting episode follows, and another, until it seems to Abby that everything she touches is drawing her in, calling to her from the past. Abby would doubt her sanity if it weren’t for Ned Newhall, the kind and knowledgeable guide on that disturbing house tour. Rather than telling her she’s hallucinating, Ned takes an interest in Abby’s strange encounters and encourages her to figure out what’s going on, starting with investigating the story of the family she saw . . . and exploring her own past. But as Abby begins to piece together a history that’s as moving as it is shocking and unravels a long-ago mystery that nearly tore her family apart, she also begins to suspect that Ned’s got secrets of his own, and that his interest may be driven as much by a taste for romance as a love for history.
