A storm that heralds the arrival of a mysterious stranger. A sibling dynamic threatened by secrets. An end-of-life gathering that surfaces old tensions and teaches new lessons. A trip that turns into a fight for survival. These four engrossing novels capture the risks and rewards of our closest relationships and the lengths to which we’ll go to protect what we love.
