BOTM: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

Description: Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, has arrived with a vengeance.

Why I'm Excited for this Book: I really loved The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah and I was hoping that BOTM would have her new book this month. They didn't disappoint! I don't normally read a lot of historical fiction, but Hannah has a beautiful way of writing and telling stories so I have high hopes for this book.

Add-on: Girl A by Abigail Dean

Description: Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family. She doesn't want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn't want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and four younger siblings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents--her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer.

Why I'm Excited for this Book: Sounds really interesting! Not normally a book I would purchase, but I'm excited.

Add-on: The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson

Description: It’s 2008, and the inauguration of President Barack Obama ushers in a new kind of hope. In Chicago, Ruth Tuttle, an Ivy-League educated Black engineer, is married to a kind and successful man. He’s eager to start a family, but Ruth is uncertain. She has never gotten over the baby she gave birth to—and was forced to leave behind—when she was a teenager. She had promised her family she’d never look back, but Ruth knows that to move forward, she must make peace with the past.

Why I'm Excited for this Book: It seems like this book will touch on many different social issues.
