The Women of Arlington Hall (2025)
Jane Healey
"With The Women of Arlington Hall, author Jane Healey brings historical fiction readers everything we look for in an enthralling read. Healey weaves deep and meticulous research on the Cold War-era codebreakers into a page-turning plot replete with spies, romance, intellectual puzzles, little-understood historical events, betrayals, and suspense. Alongside a heroine who, appealingly, is both brainy and still finding her way in life, we learn about the complex world of post-World War II political intrigue, even as she navigates the twists and turns of her personal life. A fascinating, fun, and compelling read."

The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves (2025)
Christine Nolfi
"If you love books about books, love Maine and rambling old houses, love family secrets, or just plain love a ripping good story beautifully told, you must read Christine Nolfi's The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves. Nolfi's gifts shine as she weaves together not only a memorable main character's past and present but also various strands of family stories, each with pain and loss, as well as beauty and strength. With her signature compassion and insight, Nolfi gives us a story that draws us in - into individual lives, into a beguiling New England estate and a philanthropist's mysterious decisions, and into a journey of finding purpose and belonging where we'd least expect it."

Letters from Strangers (2025)
Susan Walter
"Inspired by a true story, Susan Walter's Letter from Strangers beautifully explores not only the catastrophic damage done by secrets, deceptions and betrayals, but also the healing power of acceptance, authenticity and love. Walter creates an absolutely riveting tale in which she shows herself to be a writer of extraordinary compassion and insight into the human heart."
