Digital Book Club: July 2024

This month’s Digital Book Club title is Another Life by Kristin Hannah.

Angie DeSaria has spent years of her life trying to have a child. Now, her marriage has crumbled under the strain and she has returned to her childhood home to help try and rescue the beloved, failing family business.

Lauren Ribido is a senior in high school. She dreams of an Ivy League education, escaping her hometown and her troubled mother.

When Angie hires Lauren to work at the restaurant, they form an immediate bond, which deepens when Lauren’s mother abruptly leaves town and Angie offers her a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women – one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love – will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

Another Life is available on BorrowBox as an eBook and eAudiobook with no waiting.
