“Ghost Times Two” by Carolyn G. Hart — Carolyn Hart, New York Times bestselling author of “Ghost to the Rescue”, returns with a new Bailey Ruth Ghost Novel in which one woman shatters the glass ceiling … with a little help from beyond. Bailey Ruth Raeburn’s latest mission is to guide the happy-go-lucky spirit of a deceased young man named Jimmy to the next life. But Jimmy is determined to watch over his still-living girlfriend Megan, whom he wants to be happy even without him, which is easier said than done.

—  “Fire Brand” by Diana Palmer — Gaby Cane was always a bit afraid of her attraction to Bowie McCayde. Even when she was 15 and Bowie’s family took her in, she had sensed his simmering resentment. Now 10 years later, she’s an aspiring journalist who can hold her own with any man professionally, the dark shadows of years gone by far behind her. Then Bowie strides back into her life — only this time, he needs her, and the pull of loyalty to his family is too strong to ignore.

“Small Great Things” by Jodi Picoult — A woman and her husband admitted to a hospital to have a baby request that their nurse be reassigned — they are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is black, to touch their baby. The hospital complies, but the baby later goes into cardiac distress when Ruth is on duty. She hesitates before rushing in to perform CPR. When her indecision ends in tragedy, Ruth finds herself on trial, represented by a white public defender who warns against bringing race into a courtroom. As the two come to develop a truer understanding of each other’s lives, they begin to doubt the beliefs they each hold most dear.
