NEW FICTION BOOKS:

Evergreen Christmas by Janet Dailey – Barrel racer Jordyn Banks is thrilled to discover affordable land for sale in charming Noel, perfect for breeding her horses. But that’s not all. A nomad with no family – other than her beloved quarter horse, Star – she also hopes to find a home within the close-knit Appalachian Mountain community.

But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.

Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun.
