Constance Blackchurch, like most young women in 1799, is expected to do what she is told: stay at home, attend to her studies, and stay out of her father’s way. But when Constance overhears her father’s determination to go off in search of his long-lost wife, Constance decides to accompany him. She sneaks onto his boat and ends up in Ceylon. Along the way, the ship picks up Alexandre Sans-Nom—a stowaway—and way beneath Constance in social stature. The couple fall in love but must battle societal prejudice, the jealous Orlanda, and the ire of Constance’s father before they can be together. In the meantime, Constance finally learns the truth about her mother but will she be able to come to terms with her past?

Abbe Deighton is a woman who has lost her bearings. Once a child of the African plains, she is now settled in Hawaii, married to a minister, and waging her battles in a hallway of monotony. There is the leaky roof, the chafing expectations of her husband’s congregation, and the constant demands of motherhood. But in an instant, beginning with the skid of tires, Abbe’s battlefield is transformed when her three-year-old daughter is killed, triggering in Abbe a seismic grief that will cut a swath through the landscape of her life and her identity.

As Isla Morley’s novel sweeps from the hills of Honolulu to the veldt of South Africa, we catch a hint of the spirit of Barbara Kingsolver and the mesmerizing truth of Jodi Picoult. We are reminded of how it felt, a while ago, to dive into the drama of The Thorn Birds.

Come Sunday is a novel about searching for a true homeland, family bonds torn asunder, and the unearthing of decades-old secrets.

ISLA MORLEY grew up in South Africa during apartheid. During the country’s State of Emergency, she graduated from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth with a degree in English literature. By 1994 she was one of the youngest magazine editors in South Africa, but she left career, country, and kin when she married an American and moved to the United States. For more than a decade she pursued a career in nonprofit work, focusing on the needs of women and children. Now in the Los Angeles area, she shares a home with her husband, their daughter, two cats, a dog, and a tortoise.

Barbara Hall’s fascinating novel of discovery  Tempo Change  explores with intensity and sensitivity  the idea of following your calling, and making it your own.

Not many people at her private school know that Blanche Kelly’s father is an indie rock icon. He left when she was in first grade, when his fame became such a distraction that he could no longer “hear the music.” Despite the fact that her parents have not spoken in years, Blanche and her dad have kept in contact via e-mail. Now Blanche is in high school and can’t seem to get her mother off her case. Isn’t it enough that she has a 4.2 GPA, works a part-time job, and writes the music column for the school paper? But since her mother has joining AA, she thinks that Blanche needs to make some friends. In a spur of the moment decision to appease both her mother and her college counselor, Blanche forms an all-girl rock band, the Fringers. They are rocked to fame after winning a talent contest and subsequently a spot in the famous Coachella Music Festival. Blanche realizes that this is her chance to have a reunion with her father. But her father’s return is a far cry from what she envisioned.

Barbara Hall writes from experience as she is also a musician. She writes and performs music with her band, the Enablers. She is the author of eight novels and has written and produced numerous television shows, including Northern Exposure, Chicago Hope, and Judging Amy. She created the Emmy-nominated series Joan of Arcadia. Hall lives in Santa Monica, California, with her daughter, Faith.

Assigned to the same dorm their first year at Smith College, Celia, Bree, Sally, and April couldn’t have less in common. Celia, a lapsed Catholic, arrives with her grandmother’s rosary beads in hand and a bottle of vodka in her suitcase; beautiful Bree pines for the fiancé she left behind in Savannah; Sally, pristinely dressed in Lilly Pulitzer, is reeling from the loss of her mother; and April, a radical, redheaded feminist wearing a “Riot: Don’t Diet” T-shirt, wants a room transfer immediately.

Together they experience the ecstatic highs and painful lows of early adulthood: Celia’s trust in men is demolished in one terrible evening, Bree falls in love with someone she could never bring home to her traditional family, Sally seeks solace in her English professor, and April realizes that, for the first time in her life, she has friends she can actually confide in.

When they reunite for Sally’s wedding four years after graduation, their friendships have changed, but they remain fiercely devoted to one another. Schooled in the ideals of feminism, they have to figure out how it applies to their real lives in matters of love, work, family, and sex. For Celia, Bree, and Sally, this means grappling with one-night stands, maiden names, and parental disapproval—along with occasional loneliness and heartbreak. But for April, whose activism has become her life’s work, it means something far more dangerous.
