Selena is nearly finished with law school and ready to embark on her long-awaited career when she unexpectedly discovers that she's pregnant. The surprise surfaces during an annual school trip when she is away from her husband, and she is both overwhelmed and uncertain how to respond. While she is determined to carry the pregnancy to term, she faces many family challenges: both her mother and in-laws are from India, and they are filled with superstitious and arcane reactions to her pregnancy. Her husband, Samir, was initially angry that she went on the trip without telling him; he warms up to the news but remains emotionally distant from Selena. As she studies for the bar exam, she often feels like a single mother. In Law Girl's Bump in the Road, Jasmine Daya paints a gritty but engaging portrait of a career woman dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. By turns realistic and poignant, gripping yet funny, it deals with the issues of marriage and motherhood in a lighthearted and entertaining way.

The women whose journey into motherhood, or whose yearning for more children, has yet to be fulfilled by the universe.

For all of us - and for any parents who might go through some of what we did in the future too. So here it is, our journey to a rainbow. A story of fertility, trying again and, above all, hope.' After the death of her three-day-old son Teddy in 2016, Elle Wright never expected what came next - that the path to bringing home a living child could be so winding.

Months and years slipped by, of immense physical and emotional toll, and still those two lines were just out of reach. Faced with constant questions, drugs, negative tests, tears, loss, frustration and so many more tears, throughout it all Elle managed to still believe that one day it would happen for her, somehow... A Bump in the Road reflects the reality of becoming a parent for thousands of people like Elle who have difficulty conceiving in the UK today. It captures Elle's journey to a rainbow, comforting through her beautifully written words with a story of fertility that might just reflect yours, too.

When twenty-seven-year-old event planner and blogger Clare Finnegan got married, she didn't mind moving out of the city. After all, a suburban existence didn't necessarily equal domesticity, book club parties, and a subscription to Martha Stewart Living.

In the midst of her slow transition from beer bottles to baby bottles, Clare juggles burgeoning Internet stardom, plans Chicago's biggest black-tie gala, wrangles her traditional in-laws who are scandalized by her every choice, and attempts to keep the peace between her two feuding best friends. Not only funny but smart, sassy, and witty, to boot, this is a debut novel that will have you laughing for a good nine months.

"Like A Wrinkle in Time (Miranda's favorite book), When You Reach Me far surpasses the usual whodunit or sci-fi adventure to become an incandescent exploration of 'life, death, and the beauty of it all.'" —The Washington Post This Newbery Medal winner that has been called "smart and mesmerizing," (The New York Times) and "superb" (The Wall Street Journal) will appeal to readers of all types, especially those who are looking for a thought-provoking mystery with a mind-blowing twist. Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, and she doesn’t know what to do. The notes tell her that she must write a letter—a true story, and that she can’t share her mission with anyone.

If that is the case, then Miranda has a big problem—because the notes tell her that someone is going to die, and she might be too late to stop it.
