What we'll burn last / by Chavez, Heather,author.;
Three women. When she was twelve, Leyna Clarke watched her older sister, Grace, walk away from their Sierra Nevada foothills home with her boyfriend, Adam Duran. Neither was ever seen again. Sixteen years later, a stranger who looks like Grace shows up at the restaurant where Leyna works--and vanishes soon after. When it comes out that Leyna was one of the last people to have talked with the young woman, Leyna's childhood crush Dominic, who is also Adam's brother, pleads with her to do the last thing she wants to do: come home. Three secrets. But Leyna isn't the only one who hasn't been able to leave that fateful night behind. Her mother, Meredith, still lives in the family's old home--even if she claims to believe the police's theory that Grace and Adam were willing runaways. Down the street, Adam and Dominic's mother Olivia has also stayed, determined to be there when her son finally returns ... and to prove that Meredith and Leyna have been hiding something all these years. But the past isn't the only threat to the two families, or the missing girl. As a wildfire sparks, tempers flare and intentions turn deadly. Because someone in the neighborhood knows what really happened that night--and just how good the forest is at keeping its secrets. Who will you trust?

Flight patterns / by White, Karen(Karen S.),author.;
"The New York Times bestselling author of The Sound of Glass and coauthor of The Forgotten Room tells the story of a woman coming home to the family she left behind--and to the woman she always wanted to be ... Georgia Chambers has spent her life sifting through other people's pasts while trying to forget her own. But then her work as an expert on fine china--especially Limoges--requires her to return to the one place she swore she'd never revisit ... It has been thirteen years since Georgia left her family home on the coast of Florida, and nothing much has changed except that there are fewer oysters and more tourists. She finds solace in seeing her grandfather still toiling away in the apiary where she spent much of her childhood, but encountering her estranged mother and sister leaves her rattled. Seeing them after all this time makes Georgia realize that something has been missing--and unless she finds a way to heal these rifts, she will forever be living vicariously through other people's remnants. To embrace her own life--mistakes and all--she will have to find the courage to confront the ghosts of her past and the secrets she was forced to keep ... "--Provided by publisher.
