Sneak Peak at July’s Book: My Spiritual Trail (In celebration of July 24th - the day the Saints entered the Salt Lake Valley)
 Cateline Fortier remembers little of the mother she lost when she was only four. In an effort to save her own history for her posterity, Cateline begins a journal that follows her remarkable journey to find her family—a journey that leads to employment on a wagon train bound for Salt Lake City in 1862. Trail life means Indians, hardship, and death, but through it all Cateline learns to love the Mormons, growing especially close to a lonely widower and his two small children. Will she be able to accept the faith of her newfound friends? And why keep a journal if her life of loneliness is to continue in Utah? My Spiritual Trail is a trek—not so much through the wilderness of the West but through the heart and hopes of an unforgettable young woman. 168 pages Reg price $12.99 Book Club price $11.04 Coming Soon!

May 2009 Book On a Whim: The Whimsy Series
 This is the last place Whimsy ever thought she'd be for her senior year of high school. What kind of a mother just up and decides to be a lawyer, anyway? And what cruel twist of fate landed Whimsy and her mother in Provo, Utah - in BYU's family housing complex, no less? Whimsy is determined to be miserable; after all, she should be in sunny Arizona with her friends, not lonely in frozen Utah. But Provo does have one perk: Josh Iverson. Whimsy admired Josh from afar back in Arizona, but now that he's going to BYU on a football scholarship and Whimsy finds herself living on campus, the change of scenery may just bring a change in their relationship. In the meantime, though, Whimsy has a lot on her plate. Does Matt Hollingsworth like her, or is he just being nice? Why is she so at ease around Matt and so embarrassingly awkward around Josh? Then there's her mother to worry about. How did her mom manage to attract the attentions of the law school's geekiest student and meanest professor? Her mom wouldn't seriously consider either of them - would she? Whimsy is about to embark on a senior year unlike any other - one that has the potential to be her best year yet, if she can survive.
