Three Story House by Courtney Miller Santo

Nearing thirty and trying to avoid the inescapable fact that they have failed to live up to everyone's expectations and their own aspirations, cousins and childhood best friends Lizzie, Elyse, and Isobel seek respite in an oddly-shaped, three-story house. Told in three parts from the perspective of each of the women, this sharply observed account of the restoration of a house built out of spite, but filled with memories of love is also an account of friendship.

Week of August 18, 2014

Releases for the week of August 18th include SYCAMORE ROW by John Grisham. Nearly 25 years after the publication of A TIME TO KILL, Grisham returns to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial --- a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history. Also in stores will be THREE STORY HOUSE by Courtney Miller Santo, the critically acclaimed author of THE ROOTS OF THE OLIVE TREE. Renovating an historic Memphis house together, three cousins discover that their spectacular failures in love, career and family provide the foundation for their future happiness.
