He said/she said / by Kelly, Erin,1976-author.;
"In the summer of 1999, Kit and Laura travel to a festival in Cornwall to see a total eclipse of the sun. Kit is an eclipse chaser; Laura has never seen one before. Young and in love, they are certain this will be the first of many they'll share. But in the hushed moments after the shadow passes, Laura interrupts a man and a woman. She knows that she saw something terrible. The man denies it. It is her word against his. The victim seems grateful. Months later, she turns up on their doorstep like a lonely stray. But as her gratitude takes a twisted turn, Laura begins to wonder--did she trust the wrong person? 15 years later, Kit and Laura married are living under new names and completely off the digital grid: no Facebook, only rudimentary cell phones, not in any directories.

The bright side : twelve months, three heartbreaks and one (maybe) miracle / by Bradbury, Cathrin,author.;
"The hilarious and moving story of how a modern woman's life can change utterly in a single year--and how, even when life whacks you in the head, you can find yourself rewarded with grace. What is a woman to do when every aspect of her life blows up within a matter of months? For Cathrin Bradbury, her year-from-hell encompassed the death of both her beloved parents, a divorce from her husband of 25 years; horrendously disruptive repairs to her expensive house; and a crushingly disappointing end to a new romance. As a shell-shocked Bradbury navigates those setbacks, she discovers surprises and miracles around her: after 20 years of upheaval, her troubled brother makes an astounding recovery to health and sobriety; she is reunited with her closest childhood friend after decades of absence. She discovers that the path is steep, the view obscured, but there's light ahead. With candor and wit, Bradbury negotiates major life changes and comes out the other side a stronger version of herself. Cathartic, hilarious, and deeply moving, Bradbury proves that every situation has a silver lining--even when it is just the duct tape holding the fragments of your life together."-- Provided by publisher.
