After you vanished

2023
"[O]ne girl desperately searches to find out what happened to her missing sister. Teddy's favorite place is Bottomrock Lake, where sunfish swim in their little saucer nests and lilypads edge the shore. She's worked there as a lifeguard every summer, including last year, when her twin sister Izzy waded into the lake for a midnight swim and never came out. Now, Teddy can't stop scripting stories for where she went. Izzy was an accomplished swimmer, so she couldn't possibly have drowned. And if she did somehow drown, where's her body and why is her passport missing? When Toby, the gorgeous jerk who was with Izzy on the night she vanished, comes to Bottomrock to work as a lifeguard alongside Teddy, she can't help but be suspicious. How many of her sister's secrets does he hold? And how can Teddy unearth them--without falling for the boy who watched her sister disappear?"--Provided by publisher.

The other family doctor

a veterinarian explores what animals can teach us about love, life, and mortality
2023
Karen Fine always knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her: not her allergy to cats, and not the fact that in the '80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought her Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to contextualize pets' care in terms of their stories.
