Beautifully written historical fiction. Grace was the lighthouse keeper's daughter who became famous after helping rescue the survivors from the Forfarshire wreckage (1838). Sarah Dawson was one of those survivors. Their story and a locket has been passed down many generations and now belongs to Matilda. In 1938 Matilda is a young soon to be mother from Ireland who has been sent to America until she delivers her baby. Matilda finds inspiration, courage, and hope as she learns more about Grace Darling and Sarah Dawson. She also discovers other family secrets as she learns more about living at the light house with Harriet in America. I was excited to read in the author's notes at the end that Grace Darling and her rescue is a true story that gave inspiration to the author to write this touching book.

Book Group!!!

After a long break we finally had our book group for the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Groups are still unable to meet at the library due to the COVID-19 Pandemic but we were able to meet using Zoom. It was so nice to see most of our group. Zoom worked really well and we plan on using it next month too.

Aiden is trapped. At first he has no idea who he is, but he can remember the name Anna. Come to find out he has eight days to solve the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle. The catch is that each day he is in the body of a different guest/host and it is the same day being repeated over and over again. When he does find Anna and learns that she is also trapped in the cycle they make a pact to escape together. However, the rules state that only one can be freed. Discovering who murdered Evelyn happens to be the only way he can break the cycle from starting over again. Aiden works his way through his different hosts having them all work together to not only solve the murder but try to prevent it from happening.
