 THE GIVER OF STARS by Jojo Moynes
The Giver of Stars is based on the true story of a group of women who became the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them is a lesson in valuing our connection to others and finding love in unexpected places.

The Secrets we Kept combines a legendary love story- that of Boris Pasternak and his muse Olga- with a narrative about women who lead lives of intrigue and risk.
