New in our library

I haven't read this one yet but is next on my list-come grab it before me! It's a NY Times Bestseller and sounds very intriguing. From GoodReads:"a captivating story of two very different women who build an unexpected friendship: a 91-year-old woman with a hidden past as an orphan-train rider and the teenage girl whose own troubled adolescence leads her to seek answers to questions no one has ever thought to ask.....Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of second chances, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are."
And this, again from the NYTimes Bestseller list-"In a swift and breathtaking narrative, Susannah tells the astonishing true story of her descent into madness, her family's inspiring faith in her, and the lifesaving diagnosis that nearly didn't happen. Brain on Fire is an unforgettable exploration of memory and identity, faith and love, and a profoundly compelling tale of survival and perseverance that is destined to become a classic."-"This story has a happy ending, but take heed: It is a powerfully scary book."-The Washington Post- Read the full review
