Authors: Melissa Rivero & Caroline Leavitt

In fascinating new novels perfect for book clubs, two contemporary writers portray versions of one of the most complex relationships known to humankind: the one between a mother and daughter. In Flores and Miss Paula, Melissa Rivero introduces us to a mother-daughter duo who confront family secrets in the wake of loss. In Days of Wonder, Caroline Leavitt shows us the lengths one mother will go to find the daughter she gave up. In both, the efforts to connect, and the love in the center of it all, create propulsive stories that linger close to the heart and leave us a lot to discuss.
