Book Description
"Snap's town had a witch. At least, that's how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocks-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online--after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. It's creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it's kind of cool, too. They make a deal: Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic--and a connection with Snap's family's past."--Provided by publisher

Book Description
Prior to Phil Stern's death on December 13, 2014, his original, unfinished, tattered wartime memoir was discovered, stashed away in an old folio box in his cluttered Hollywood bungalow. Best remembered for his iconic images of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK's inauguration, his remarkable service during World War II as a combat photographer with Darby's Rangers has remained largely unknown. Until now. Stern's catchy 1940s lingo, honest and intimate observations, and humor, paired with his striking combat photography, transport the reader 70 years back in time to meet the hardscrabble Rangers and experience some of the key battles of the Mediterranean Theater. Snapdragon is an artifact of that time, told not by a man reminiscing in his twilight years, but by a young soldier fresh from the battlefields.

Book Description
He needs forgiveness. He isn’t expecting to find love… After a near-fatal accident ends Eli’s career in the Army, he returns home, uncertain of what kind of welcome he’ll receive from his family. He did a lot of stupid things as a teenager, hurting them deeply. Especially his brother Noah, whose forgiveness he isn’t sure he deserves. He just knows he has to try. He’s turned upside down again when he meets Haley, his physical therapist. With a heart-stopping smile that punches him in the gut, and enough sass and backbone to enchant him, she represents another example of a second chance he’d never thought to have—a second chance at love. Haley isn’t prepared for the longing Eli stirs up inside her. Her life is nowhere near uncomplicated at the moment. With the weight of her grandfather’s care resting on her shoulders, she barely has time to breathe, much less fall in love. Still, she finds herself drawn to Eli, and once he’s no longer her patient, she can’t resist his charm. But the bitter past isn’t ready to be forgotten yet. And this time, if the past wins, Eli will lose everything he’s rebuilt with the people he loves.
