End of the Alphabet, by C. S. Richardson
The End of the Alphabet is a lovely little novel that packs a big emotional wallop.
It tells the story of a marriage in 119 undersized pages. A middle-aged man in London is told he has one month to live. He decides that he and his wife will spend it traveling to the places he has most loved or longed to see. They'll go by way of the alphabet: A is for Amsterdam, B is for Berlin, C is for Chartres.The writing borders on precious, but it comes back to earth at all the right places” Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY


House of Happy Endings, by Leslie Garis
Garis's memoir encompass three generations. When she was eight years old, her grandmother Lilian, who wrote the early Bobbsey Twins, and grandfather Howard Garis, who created and virtually became Uncle Wiggily, moved into her family's home in Amherst, Mass. In this spellbinding memoir of green moments and gray ones, Garis chronicles this book-reading, music-playing and, most importantly, loving family of writers.
