<div>From a New York Times bestseller, a “graceful . . . engrossing” novel about a mother struggling to protect her disabled son after he is accused of a crime (Publishers Weekly). Fifteen-year-old Andy Lockwood is special. Others notice the way he blurts out anything that comes into his mind, how he cannot foresee consequences, that he’s more child than teenager. But his mother sees a boy with a heart as open and wide as the ocean. Laurel Lockwood lost her son once through neglect. She’s spent the rest of her life determined to make up for her mistakes, and she’s succeeded in becoming a committed, protective parent—maybe even overprotective. Still, she loosens her grip just enough to let Andy attend a local church social—a decision that terrifies her when the church is consumed by fire. But Andy survives . . . and remarkably, saves other children from the flames. Laurel watches as Andy basks in the role of unlikely hero and the world finally sees her Andy, the sweet boy she knows as well as her own heart. But when the suspicion of arson is cast upon Andy, Laurel must ask herself how well she really knows her son . . . and how far she’ll go to keep her promise to protect him forever. Praise for The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlin: “Powerful and thrilling This tautly paced and emotionally driven novel will engross Chamberlain’s many fans as well as those who read Sandra Brown and Carla Buckley.” ?Booklist “Hard to put down.” ?Better Homes and Gardens “A compulsively readable melodrama.” ?Kirkus Reviews “A page-turner to the very end. A must for all mystery lovers and those who like reading about family struggles.” ?Library Journal</div>

Before the Storm

<div>From a New York Times&ndash;bestselling author, &ldquo;a surprisingly thoughtful and compelling tale&rdquo; about the decision a single father makes to protect his child (Publishers Weekly). Four years ago, nineteen-year-old Travis Brown made a choice: to raise his newborn daughter on his own. While most of his friends were out partying and meeting girls, Travis was at home, changing diapers and worrying about keeping food on the table. But he&rsquo;s never regretted his decision. Bella is the light of his life. The reason behind every move he makes. And so far, she is fed. Cared for. Safe. But when Travis loses his construction job and his home, the security he&rsquo;s worked so hard to create for Bella begins to crumble. . . . Then a miracle. A job in Raleigh has the power to turn their fortunes around. It has to. But when Travis arrives in Raleigh, there is no job, only an offer to participate in a onetime criminal act that promises quick money and no repercussions. With nowhere else to turn, Travis must make another choice for his daughter&rsquo;s sake. Even if it means he might lose her. Praise for The Midwife&rsquo;s Confession by Diane Chamberlain: &ldquo;A complex, heart-wrenching tale . . . a Jodi Picoult&ndash;like story line yanked from the most shocking of headlines. . . . each scene and character should grab readers and keep them eagerly turning pages right up to the startling climax.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;A compelling tale of friendship and motherhood told with compassion and vivid honesty. Chamberlain takes the reader on a taut journey filled with secrets, heartbreak and the power of hope. Impossible to put down.&rdquo; &mdash;Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of The Overnight Guest</div>

The Good Father

Now she’s back home. But her release cannot free her from the burden of guilt she carries. She grew up with Keith Weston, played with him as a child . . . and recently learned they share the same father. Now the person Keith despises most is the closest thing he has to family—until Sara returns. If Sara returns. . . .</div>

Clay O&rsquo;Neill lives in the old light keeper&rsquo;s house, a home he shares with his sister, Lacey. When Lacey invites her to stay with them, Gina eagerly accepts.

And the lighthouse holds secrets that neither Clay nor Gina can anticipate . . . Praise for Kiss River &ldquo;Diane Chamberlain furbishes an intriguing novel that will send the audience seeking the debut story (Keeper of the Light).&rdquo; &mdash;The Best Reviews &ldquo;This book is filled with individuals struggling with their emotions and decisions, all of which make for a moving and touching reading experience.&rdquo; &mdash;RT Book Reviews &ldquo;Diane Chamberlain is a marvelously gifted author. Every book she writes is a gem.&rdquo; &mdash;Literary Times</div>

Kiss River

<div>From a New York Times&ndash;bestselling author, a saga of mothers, daughters, family secrets and a woman trying to find herself in a small Outer Banks community. Annie A loving mother and wife, Annie O&rsquo;Neill was the heart of the small community of Kiss River. But her generous nature hid a darker side that remained secret for years after her tragic death. Lacey When Lacey O&rsquo;Neill finally learns the shattering truth about the mother she&rsquo;s spent a decade emulating, the foundation of her life begins to crumble. Then her close childhood friend dies, leaving her teenage daughter, Mackenzie, in Lacey&rsquo;s care, and Lacey unwillingly finds herself in the role of mother. Mackenzie Uprooted by her mother&rsquo;s death, Mackenzie resents her new home of Kiss River. She wants nothing to do with the father who never knew she existed&mdash;and especially not her mother&rsquo;s oldest friend. But the person who could understand her best might be the one she resents most: Lacey. Praise for Her Mother&rsquo;s Shadow &ldquo;Chamberlain . . . bridges the gap between romance and relationship novels in another tale of lost family and found love on North Carolina&#39;s Outer Banks. . . . Bringing in characters from past novels and introducing folks sure to show up in future ones, Chamberlain adeptly unfolds layers of rage, guilt, longing, repression and rebellion while gently preaching a message of trust and forgiveness. Complex, credible characterization raises her saga so far above soap opera that even readers who are not already fans will sympathize with the flawed but caring people she compassionately evokes.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly</div>
