Woman 99: Charlotte Smith's future is planned to the last detail, but so was her sister's—that is, until Phoebe became a disruption. When their parents commit Phoebe to a notorious asylum, Charlotte knows there's more to the story than madness. Shedding her true identity to become an anonymous inmate, "Woman Ninety-Nine," Charlotte uncovers dangerous secrets that haunt the asylum. Insanity isn't the only reason her fellow inmates were put away—and those in power will do anything to keep the truth, and Charlotte, from getting out.

Salt the Snow: From Carrie Callaghan, author of the critically acclaimed A Light of Her Own, comes a story of the trailblazing and liberated Milly Bennett, based on the life of one of the first female war correspondents whose work has been all but lost to history. American journalist Milly Bennett has covered murders in San Francisco, fires in Hawaii, and a civil war in China, but 1930s Moscow presents her greatest challenge yet. When her young Russian husband is suddenly arrested by the secret police, Milly tries to get him released. But his arrest reveals both painful secrets about her marriage and hard truths about the Soviet state she has been working to serve. Disillusioned, and pulled toward the front lines of a captivating new conflict, Milly must find a way to do the right thing for her husband, her conscience, and her heart.
