The Poppy Fields [text (large print)] : a novel / by Erlick, Nikki,author.;
"Welcome to the Poppy Fields, where there's hope for even the most battered hearts to heal. Here, in a remote stretch of the California desert, lies an experimental and controversial treatment center that allows those suffering from the heartache of loss to sleep through their pain ... and keep on sleeping. After patients awaken from this prolonged state of slumber, they will finally be healed. But only if they're willing to accept the potential shadowy side effects. On a journey to this mystical destination are four very different strangers and one little dog: Ava, a book illustrator; Ray, a fireman; Sasha, an occupational therapist; Sky, a free spirit; and a friendly pup named PJ. As they attempt to make their way from the Midwest all the way to the Poppy Fields -- where they hope to find Ellis, its brilliant, enigmatic founder -- each of their past secrets and mysterious motivations threaten to derail their voyage"--

The guest room / by Sylva, Tasha,author.;
"Tess has a bad habit. She can't stop snooping through her guests' belongings ... When Tess is forced to rent out her late sister's old room to pay the bills, the urge to rummage through her guests' belongings overtakes her every thought. Teasing herself with forbidden glimpses into the lives of strangers is a momentary thrill, but it's the closest she's felt to anyone since the mysterious death of her sister, Rosie. After her newest lodger, Arran, takes the room, Tess finds his salaciously detailed diary, which chronicles his infatuation with a beautiful stranger. The diary, which appears harmless at first, slowly takes a darker, more menacing tone with each new entry. Is this a crush or an obsession? Her compulsion to know the truth leads to Tess shadowing Arran through the streets of London, hoping to catch a glimpse of this unnamed woman. And as she continues to peruse his diary, she can't help but notice the similarities between the woman on the pages and herself, leaving her to wonder, Who has truly been watching whom?"--
