Two books you may enjoy. Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. This novel weaves together two compelling stories that take place in both India and Southern California. It explores the subjects of cultural identity, forgiveness and women's roles in society. Gowda writes with simplicity and clarity and I hope she writes more.
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker is a story set in New York State in a small town. It explores the nature of love, death, friendship and euthanasia in beautiful and thoughtful prose. The heroine truly will steal your heart.

Happy Reading
