Borders If there's an issue that other writers might deem too delicate or incendiary to explore in a novel, chances are Jodi Picoult has boldly taken it on and crafted it into a gripping story that is both piercing and compassionate in its frank observations and shifting points of view. In Nineteen Minutes, Picoult explores the grim consequences of a high-school shooting and the string of events that preceded it. Told through the eyes of the troubled perpetrator, the judge assigned to hear the case, and the judge's teenage daughter, who is one of the survivors and a key witness, the book never shies away from the difficult questions such a tragedy raises.

Borders With all good fiction, you want not only a story that enthralls but one that also creates a connection between you and the characters. With The Guernsey and Literary Potato Peel Pie Society, authors Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer have truly accomplished this. The book unfolds as a series of letters between Juliet Ashton, a writer grown weary of putting a positive spin on the war, and the members of the curiously named society, whose town has come under German occupation. It is a correspondence that will forever change Juliet's life. Set during the peak of World War II, this novel embodies warmth, friendship, and the best of the human spirit. Juliet and the society members develop an extraordinary bond that authors Barrows and Shaffer capture perfectly. Telling the story through letters brings the reader into this bond as well, creating an enduring connection between the reader and the characters. This is a gripping story of kindness and companionship, and, if you are like me, you'll find it hard to put it down.
