The unsinkable Greta James : a novel / by Smith, Jennifer E.,1980-author.;
"Right after the sudden death of her mother--her first and most devoted fan--and just before the launch of her high-stakes sophomore album, Greta James falls apart on stage. The footage quickly goes viral and she stops playing, her career suddenly in jeopardy--the kind of jeopardy her father, Conrad, has always predicted. Months later, Greta--still heartbroken and very much adrift--reluctantly agrees to accompany Conrad on the Alaskan cruise her parents had booked to celebrate their fortieth anniversary. It could be their last chance to heal old wounds in the wake of shared loss. But the trip will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, and for Ben Wilder, a charming historian, onboard to lecture about The Call of the Wild, who is struggling with a major upheaval in his own life. As Greta works to build back her confidence and Ben confronts an uncertain future, they find themselves drawn to and relying on each other. It's here in this unlikeliest of places--at sea, far from the packed city venues where she usually plays and surrounded by the stunning scenery of Alaska--Greta will finally confront the choices she's made, the heartbreak she's suffered, and the family hurts that run deep. In the end, she'll have to decide what her path forward might look like--and how to find her voice again"--

Worth fighting for / by Sutanto, Jesse Q.,author.;
"As the right hand of her father's hedge fund company, Fa Mulan knows what it takes to succeed as a woman in a man's world: work twice as hard, be twice as smart, and burp twice as loud as any of the other finance bros she works with. So when her father unexpectedly falls ill in the middle of a critical acquisition, she is determined to see it through. There's just one hitch: the family company in question is known for its ultra masculine whiskey brand, and the brood of old-fashioned aunts, uncles, and cousins who run it-lead by the dedicated but overworked Shang-will only trust Mulan's father, Fa Zhou, with the future of their business. Rather than fail the deal and her father, Mulan pretends she's Fa Zhou. Since they've only corresponded over email, how hard could it be to keep things moving in his absence? But the email leads to a face-to-face meeting, which leads to an invitation to a week long retreat at Shang's family ranch. One meeting she can handle, but a whole week of cattle wrangling, axe-throwing, and learning proper butchering techniques, all while trying to convince Shang's dubious family that this young woman is the powerful hedge fund CEO they've been negotiating with? Not so much-especially as she finds it harder and harder to ignore the undeniable spark between her and Shang. Can she keep her head in the game and make her father proud, all while trying not to fall into a trough, or in love with Shang?"--

The slowworm's song / by Miller, Andrew,1961-author.;
An ex-soldier and recovering alcoholic living quietly in Somerset, Stephen Rose has just begun to form a bond with the daughter he barely knows when he receives a summons--to an inquiry into an incident during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It is the return of what Stephen hoped he had outdistanced. Above all, to testify would jeopardise the fragile relationship with his daughter. And if he loses her, he loses everything. Instead, he decides to write her an account of his life; a confession, a defence, a love letter. Also a means of buying time. But time is running out, and the day comes when he must face again what happened in that faraway summer of 1982.

Chasing eternity / by Noël, Alyson,author.;
I'm about to break one of the biggest rules of all. But I need to find my dad. And if that means going back to New York City in 1998 to find him -- before I'm even born -- then that's what I have to do. Because I need someone I trust to teach me what it means to be a Timekeeper. Now I'm in the land of post-grunge, low-rise jeans, baby doll tees, chunky boots ... and risking my own existence in the process. Awesome. This is no ordinary trip. Just about anything can go wrong, and if I get found out, I'll lose not only my home and school ... but Braxton, too. Because there might not be enough forgiveness in the world for what I've done -- and what I am about to do. Because the secrets are more terrible than I thought. The reality is even more horrifying. And I'll do whatever it takes to find out the truth about Gray Wolf Academy, the strange billionaire who runs it, and not only why he's so invested in traveling -- or "Tripping" -- through time, but what his real plans are. And time's almost up.
