Deep freeze / by Grumley, Michael C.,author.;
"The accident came quickly. With no warning. In the dead of night, a precipitous plunge into a freezing river trapped everyone inside the bus. It was then that Army veteran John Reiff's life came to an end. Extinguished in the sudden rush of frigid water. There was no expectation of survival. None. Let alone waking up beneath blinding hospital lights. Struggling to move, or see, or even breathe. But the doctors assure him that everything is normal. That things will improve. And yet, he has a strange feeling that there's something they're not telling him. As Reiff's mind and body gradually recover, he becomes certain that the doctors are lying to him. One-by-one, puzzle pieces are slowly falling into place, and he soon realizes that things are not at all what they seem. Critical information is being kept from him. Secrets. Supposedly for his own good. But who is doing this? Why? And the most important question: can he keep himself alive long enough to uncover the truth?"--

Breathe cry breathe : from sorrow to strength in the aftermath of sudden, tragic loss / by Gourdier, Catherine,author.;
"In the fall of 2010, the entire Gourdier family were happily gathering for a surprise zombie-themed party for their youngest sister Julie's 40th birthday when the unthinkable happened. As Julie and her parents returned from church, they were hit at high speed by a car driven by an 80-year-old woman. While Catherine's father escaped without harm, Julie and her mother were rushed to hospital where they succumbed to their injuries. Still reeling from the sudden loss of Julie and their mother, less than six weeks later, their father died suddenly as well - most likely from a broken heart. Breathe Cry Breathe is the story of Catherine's journey through grief, as she tries to come to terms with the traumatic loss of three close family members so suddenly. In the ensuing weeks, months and years, Catherine realizes that 'grief doesn't vanish so quickly. It packs a suitcase and moves into your heart and head.' Gourdier throws herself into practical pursuits - trying to get a crosswalk installed at the site of the accident, advocating for mandatory testing for senior drivers, holding fundraisers for the Special Olympics in her sister's memory - but after years of struggle it's only time - and a secret meeting with the recipient of her sister's donated lungs - that helps her to finally move beyond her debilitating grief."--

Woke up like this : a novel / by Lea, Amy,author.;
Planning the perfect prom is one last "to do" on ultra-organized Charlotte Wu's high school bucket list. Then a decorating accident sends Charlotte crash-landing off a ladder, face-first into her obnoxious archnemesis J. T. Renner. Worse, she wakes up in an unfamiliar bed -- thirty years old, with her bearded fiancé, Renner, by her side. Somehow they have been drop-kicked into adulthood, trapped in the thirty-year-old bodies of their future selves. With each other as their only constant, Charlotte and Renner discover all that has changed in the time they have missed. Reaching the next milestone may not be as important as what happens in between.

The book of accidents : a novel / by Wendig, Chuck,author.;
"A new ... literary horror ... about a family returning to their hometown--and to the dark past that haunts them still. Long ago, Nathan Graves lived in a house in the country with his abusive father--and has never told his family what happened in that house. Long ago, Maddie Graves was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn't--and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, something sinister, something hungry, walked in the tunnels and the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now Nate and Maddie are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver. And now what happened long ago is happening again ... and it is happening to Oliver. He meets a strange boy who becomes his best friend, a boy with secrets of his own, and a taste for dark magic. This dark magic puts them at the heart of a battle of good versus evil and a fight for the soul of the family--and perhaps for all of the world. But the Graves family has a secret weapon in this fight: their love for each other"--
