by Rebecca Hodge

When Kat Jamison retreats to the Blue Ridge Mountains, she's counting on peace and solitude to help her make a difficult decision.

But when she and two children are trapped in a raging forest fire, Kat must discover a fire within herself---the burning will to survive.

Learning to Bend
by Michelle Davis

Confused and unsure of who she is after calling off her wedding, Jenna Moore leaves a safe and predictable life in Boston to move to Bend, Oregon, hoping to find answers there.
