Dog Person by Camille Pagán ~ a Review

by MK French

Harold is an older dog that absorbed romantic notions from Amelia May, the romance novelist who adopted him. After she has passed away, she asks him to help her partner, Miguel, find love again. He rarely leaves home, and the bookstore he and Amelia owned together is in danger of going under. When a renowned author doesn’t show up for his event, the store’s finances are even more precarious. Miguel and Harold set out to find the author to save the store, but his sister Fiona tries to keep his privacy. Fiona doesn't like dogs, but her eleven-year-old daughter Amelia immediately befriends Harold. The dog is trying to get Miguel to speak with Fiona and convince him that he's able to have a happy ending after all.

The Hired Man by Sandra Dallas ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

1937. It’s been seven years since the dust storms started in Colorado. Folks can barely remember a time when the clouds were filled with rain instead of dirt, and when the fields were green instead of brown. High school student Martha Helen Kessler and her family are luckier than most; they still eke out a living from the land. Even so, evidence of the Dust Bowl’s grim impact on families, especially on the women who bear the brunt of their husbands’ frustration and their children’s hunger, is everywhere.

Here are a few of the beach reads that I’m looking forward to this year.
