Le esiliate
Londra, 1840. Evangeline è un'ingenua ragazza che fa la governante presso una ricca famiglia di città. Sedotta dal rampollo di casa, rimane incinta. Per liberarsi del problema, la padrona la taccia di furto e la fa arrestare. Dopo mesi nella fetida, sovraffollata prigione di Newgate, Evangeline viene condannata a imbarcarsi per la Terra di Van Diemen, una colonia penale in Australia. Benché incerta di quello che la aspetta Evangeline sa una cosa: il bambino che sta aspettando nascerà prima del suo arrivo in quella terra lontana. Durante il viaggio su una nave di schiavi, la Medea, Evangeline stringe amicizia con Hazel, una ragazzina che è stata condannata a sette anni di esilio per aver rubato un cucchiaio d'argento. Hazel è molto più astuta di lei, ed essendo un'esperta ostetrica ed erborista, offre aiuto e rimedi casalinghi alle prigioniere e ai marinai in cambio di favori. Benché l'Australia sia stata la patria del popolo aborigeno per più di 50.000 anni, il Governo inglese considera la colonia un luogo non civilizzato e i nativi come un fastidioso inconveniente. Quando la Medea attracca, la loro terra è stata occupata dai bianchi e molti dei nativi sono stati forzatamente spostati altrove. Fra questi c'è Mathinna, la figlia orfana del capo della tribù Lowreenne, che è stata adottata dal nuovo governatore della Terra di Van Diemen.

Orphan Train
Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet existence in Maine, the memories of her upbringing a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past. Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her possessions she discovers that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the past. Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.

The Way Life Should Be
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train comes a novel of love, risk, and self-discovery. Angela can feel the clock ticking. She is single in New York City, stuck in a job she doesn’t want and a life that seems to have, somehow, just happened. She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it—these days, her oven holds only sweaters. Tacked to her office bulletin board is a photo from a magazine of a tidy cottage on the coast of Maine—a charming reminder of a life that could be hers, if she could only muster the courage to go after it. On a hope and a chance, Angela decides to pack it all up and move to Maine, finding the nudge she needs in the dating profile of a handsome sailor who loves dogs and Italian food. But her new home isn’t quite matching up with the fantasy. Far from everything familiar, Angela begins to rebuild her life from the ground up. Working at a local coffeehouse, she begins to discover the pleasures and secrets of her new small-town community and, in the process, realizes there’s really no such thing as the way life should be.
