Zoe, beautiful and charming, grew up with a burning desire for fame, making up for a lack of natural talent with hard work and determination. Cassie, though, had a gift. She was uncomfortable in her plus-sized body and preferred to be in the shadows, she was a musical prodigy. On the threshold of adulthood, the sisters are discovered by a record label and become the Griffin Sisters, a band that quickly skyrockets to fame, reaching the heights of pop stardom: MTV, VH1, the Billboard charts, and every marker of a dream come true. Cassie's musical gifts make her the voice of a generation and while the spotlight tests her spirit, it also opens her heart to possibilities for connection she has never considered. Zoe gets everything she thought she wanted: international fame and the paparazzi, the couture-and the man-that go with it. But twenty years later, everything has changed. Cassie lives in seclusion in Alaska. Zoe has abandoned her music dreams for suburban motherhood in New Jersey. The Griffin Sisters are long gone, and the devil's bargain of celebrity has exacted a high price that drives the sisters apart and nearly destroys them both. And yet Zoe's teenage daughter Cherry has inherited her family's talent and stage presence, and will stop at nothing to achieve the very dream of pop stardom her mother has warned her against-opening the wounds of their shared history in the process. Both sisters must face the consequences of choices from the past: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can the mistakes of the past be redeemed, and can broken bonds be repaired? In this stirring and soul-bearing novel, Jennifer Weiner brings to life the heartache, joy, and glory of the glamorous but shattering Golden Age of pop music, and a celebrates the power of love and forgiveness, even after the music stops"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1102966</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1102966</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weiner, Jennifer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1102966221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798331701239/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wild Dark Shore]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the beloved, New York Times bestselling author of Migrations and Once There Were Wolves, a novel about a family living alone on a remote island, when a mysterious woman washes up on shore"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1113841</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1113841</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McConaghy, Charlotte]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1113841221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250418401/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not your China Doll]]></title><description><![CDATA["Set against the glittering backdrop of Los Angeles during the gin-soaked Jazz Age and the rise of Hollywood, this debut book celebrates Anna May Wong, the first Asian American movie star, to bring an unsung heroine to light and reclaim her place in cinema history"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094498</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094498</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Salisbury, Katie Gee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094498221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822683051/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Beet Queen]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the early 1930s, Karl and his sister Mary Adare, arrive by boxcar in Argus, a small off-reservation town in North Dakota.

Nora Stephens life is books-she's read them all-and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away-with visions of a small town transformation for Nora who she's convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute. If Nora knows she's not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he's nobody's hero, but as they are thrown together again and again-in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow-what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they've written about themselves"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094437</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094437</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Henry, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094437221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781669639992/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death of the Black Widow]]></title><description><![CDATA[On his first night with Detroit PD, Officer Walter O'Brien is called to a murder scene.

J. Fikry two friends--often in love, but never lovers--come together as creative partners in the world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. On a bitter cold day, in the December of his Junior Year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. They borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo: a game where players can escape the confines of a body and the betrayals of a heart, and where death means nothing more than a chance to restart and play again. This is the story of the perfect worlds Sam and Sadie build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy. Spanning over thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, games as artform, technology and the human experience, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before."-- Publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094527</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094527</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zevin, Gabrielle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094527221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822672857/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyday Millionaires]]></title><description><![CDATA["Millionaire status doesn't require inheriting a bunch of money or having a high-paying job.

Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice. Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.

Horrified, she flees to her older sister's house on the Australian coast, hoping she can help explain the strangely vivid nightmare that preceded the attack -- but Jess is nowhere to be found. As Lucy awaits her return, the rumors surrounding Jess's strange small town start to emerge. Numerous men have gone missing at sea, spread over decades. A tiny baby was found hidden in a cave.

Courtney Sullivan and Mary Beth Keane, three adult sisters grapple with a shared tragedy over a Thanksgiving weekend spent in their childhood home, navigating complex relationships and old tensions. It's been years since the three Ryan sisters were all home together at their family's beloved house on the eastern shore of Long Island. Two decades ago, their lives were upended by an accident on their brother Topher's boat: a friend's brother was killed, the lawsuit nearly bankrupted their parents, and Topher spiraled into a depression, eventually taking his life. Now the Ryan women are back for Thanksgiving, eager to reconnect, but each carrying a heavy secret. The eldest, Cait, still holding guilt for the role no one knows she played in the boat accident, rekindles a flame with her high school crush, Topher's best friend and the brother of the boy who died. Middle sister Alice's been thrown a curveball threatening the career she's restarting and faces a difficult decision that may doom her marriage. And the youngest, Maggie, is finally taking the risk to bring the woman she loves home to her devoutly Catholic mother. Infusing everything is the grief for Topher that none of the Ryans have figured out how to carry together. When Cait invites a guest to Thanksgiving dinner, old tensions boil over and new truths surface, nearly overpowering the flickering light of their family bond. Far more than a family holiday will be ruined unless the sisters can find a way to forgive themselves-and one another"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1116919</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1116919</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Neill, Heather Aimee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1116919221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250452283/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Big Beautiful Life]]></title><description><![CDATA["Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel from Emily Henry. Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years-or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she'll choose the person who'll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice's head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice-and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication. Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can't swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story-just like the tale Margaret's spinning-could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad ... depending on who's telling it"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1102965</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1102965</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Henry, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1102965221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822695498/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overdue]]></title><description><![CDATA["Is it time to renew love or start a new chapter? Ingrid Dahl, a cheerful twenty-nine-year-old librarian in the cozy mountain town of Ridgetop, North Carolina, has been happily dating her college boyfriend, Cory, for eleven years without ever discussing marriage. But when Ingrid's sister announces her engagement to a woman she's only been dating for two years, Ingrid and Cory feel pressured to consider their future. Neither has ever been with anybody else, so they make an unconventional decision. They'll take a one-month break to date other people, then they'll reunite and move toward marriage.

Born from young King Henry's first marriage, his elder daughter, Princess Mary, is raised to be queen once it becomes clear that her mother, Katherine of Aragon, will bear no more surviving children. However, Henry's restless eye has a devastating influence on the young princess's future when he declares her a bastard and his marriage to her mother unlawful. In hopes of a male heir, he marries Anne Boleyn and banishes Katherine and Mary from the royal court. But when Anne too fails to produce a son, she is beheaded and Mary is allowed to return to court as the default heir. At age twenty, she hopes in vain for her own marriage and children, but who will marry her, bastard that she is? Yet Mary eventually triumphs and becomes queen, after first putting down a seventeen-year-old usurper, Lady Jane Grey, and ordering her beheading. Any hopes that as the first female queen to rule Britain Mary will show more compassion are dashed when she embarks on a ruthless campaign to force Catholicism on the English by burning hundreds of Protestants at the stake. But while her brutality will forever earn her the name Bloody Mary, at heart she is an insecure and vulnerable woman, her character forged by the unhappiness of her early years. In Alison Weir's masterful novel, the drama of Mary I's life and five-year reign-from her abusive childhood, marriage, and mysterious pregnancies to the cruelty that marks her legacy-comes to vivid life"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094502</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094502</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weir, Alison]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094502221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel of Queen Mary I</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798892747455/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Book of Doors]]></title><description><![CDATA[Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life. Until the day one of her favorite customers--a lonely yet charming old man--dies right in front of her. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing but the last book he was reading. But this is no ordinary book ... It is the Book of Doors. Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door. You just need to know how to open them. Then she's approached by a gaunt stranger in a rumpled black suit with a Scottish brogue who calls himself Drummond Fox. He's a librarian who keeps watch over a unique set of rare volumes. The tome now in Cassie's possession is not the only book with great power, but it is the one most coveted by those who collect them. Now Cassie is being hunted by those few who know of the Special Books. With only her roommate Izzy to confide in, she has to decide if she will help the mysterious and haunted Drummond protect the Book of Doors--and the other books in his secret library's care--from those who will do evil. Because only Drummond knows where the unique library is and only Cassie's book can get them there. But there are those willing to kill to obtain those secrets. And a dark force--in the form of a shadowy, sadistic woman--is at the very top of that list.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094438</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094438</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brown, Gareth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094438221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822679955/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Seminarian]]></title><description><![CDATA["Xavier "Priest" Priestly is a snarky former seminarian turned private investigator.

The company already several days into its makeover of the Smetkamps' house, and tensions are running high--not only between the officious, demanding Mrs. Smetkamp and her neighbors, but also between her and the renovation crew. Meg, who is trying to keep the peace and prevent the makeover crew from trampling on every clause of the county's building code, arrives at the Smetkamps to find that Caerphilly's resident flock of feral turkeys has moved into their yard--or been relocated there by someone who wanted to cause them trouble.

She comes up with a plan to gather a group of turkey wranglers to snatch them early in the morning. But when they arrive, they find the body of Mrs. Smetkamp in her backyard.

On January 20, 2003, a thunderous crack rang out and a 100-foot-wide tide of snow barreled down the Northern Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. More than a dozen skiers and snowboarders were thrust down the mountain, buried beneath several tons of rock-hard snow and ice in the Durrand Glacier Avalanche. A heroic search and rescue ensued. Among those buried was Craig Kelly--"the Michael Jordan of snowboarding"--a man who had propelled the sport into the mainstream before walking away from competitions, to rekindle his passion in the untamed alpine wilds of North America. The Darkest White is the story of Craig Kelly's life, a heartbreaking but extraordinary and inspiring odyssey of a latchkey kid whose athletic prowess and innovations would revolutionize winter sports, take him around the globe, and push him into ever more extreme environments that would ultimately take his life. It is also a definitive, immersive account of snowboarding and the cultural movement that exploded around it, growing the sport from minor Gen X cult hobby to Olympic centerpiece and a billion-dollar business full of feuds and rivalries. Finally, The Darkest White is a mesmerizing, cautionary portrait of the mountains, of the allure and the glory they offer, and of the avalanches they unleash with unforgiving fury"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1094448</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blehm, Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1094448221</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Mountain Legend and the Avalanche That Took Him</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822680005/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
