March 18th: Rebellion in the Heartland by Pat Connelly
A young lawyer is forced to question her beliefs and finds in the end she must decide whether to continue with what she knows will be the biggest case of her career or whether to walk away, turning her back on her clients, family, and religion. Newly revised.
April 8th: The Best Worst That Can Happen by Jean Koppen
Margie is concerned about her romance-writing daughter’s love life, but Joanna has bigger concerns – Margie’s increasingly eccentric behavior. With the help of a new roommate, both learn to find the best from the worst that can happen.
April 29th: The Whole is Greater, by Ann Timmons
The lives of a “motivational guru,” a cynical unemployed professor, a corrupt local politician, and a wily Dollar Store cashier intertwine unexpectedly. Comic drama unfolds as definitions of success, matters of justice, and finding your place in the world collide.
