Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away --- until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest.

Paperback releases for the week of July 10th include John Grisham's THE WHISTLER, a high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State; MY NOT SO PERFECT LIFE, Sophie Kinsella's novel that is part love story and part workplace drama, a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world; THE CHEMIST by Stephenie Meyer, in which an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life; and THE DOLLHOUSE, Fiona Davis' debut novel that pulls readers into the lush world of New York City's glamorous Barbizon Hotel for Women, where in the 1950s a generation of aspiring models, secretaries and editors lived side by side while attempting to claw their way to fairy-tale success, and where a present-day journalist becomes consumed with uncovering a dark secret buried deep within the Barbizon's glitzy past.
