SUMMER READS:

THE WILDERNESS YEARS
Engaging, witty and inspirational, The Wilderness Years is a book charged with
empathy. Like an understanding friend with a glass of wine at the end of one of
‘those’ days, it demystifies the core of motherhood. By cutting through the noise of
modern parenting; the experts, the opinions, and the influences, it is a book that
leaves the reader feeling normal in a time where just about nothing can be
considered normal.

AUSSIE AUTHOR REVEALS
DARK SIDE OF HISTORICAL
ROMANCE
Award-winning author, Karen Turner’s debut novel, Torn, provides the perfect hit
of gritty romance for a page-turning read over summer.
Unlike many ‘Jane Austen’ style stories that often feature chaste lovers and
scandals strictly kept ‘behind closed doors’, Karen set out to look at the damaging
effects of love and betrayal in graphic detail, all the while remaining faithful to the
historical era. Get hooked on Torn this Summer!

RELATABLE STORIES OF ONE WOMAN’S
DATING EXPERIENCES
In “The G.F. List: One Woman, With a List of Men, Answering the
Question Singles Hate” (ISBN 1482751119), author Sharyn Atkinson
shares her roller coaster-like romantic life in an effort to show women
that they’re not alone in the dating world. Documenting Atkinson’s
romantic experiences over the past 12 years, “The G.F. List” tells
honest, light-hearted stories of hope, loss, deception, discovery and
love. Sharing the stories of an average single woman, the book trades
in expert advice for endearing stories that highlight the struggles,
hijinks and benefits of being a single woman in today’s society. Read
and review the GF List this Summer
