She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love. Funny, kind, and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances—to others and to yourself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2v2chg0tzz5pnhcjvccnyt.jpg?v=4f6431c20b","LzMaIqso_NWr%Mj@Rja#%MkCRjae",384,[460],{"id":461,"slug":462,"name":463},"01km1chc8mgfv2dzv5kq9yzgy8","sarah-beth-durst-s9fa","Sarah Beth Durst",[465,469,473,477],{"id":466,"name":467,"slug":468,"is_fiction":20},200,"Cozy Fantasy","cozy-fantasy",{"id":470,"name":471,"slug":472,"is_fiction":20},23,"Romantasy","romantasy",{"id":474,"name":475,"slug":476,"is_fiction":20},2,"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":130,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":480,"themes":483,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[481,482,171],"whimsical","lighthearted",[83,177],{"id":485,"slug":486,"title":487,"description":488,"primary_cover_url":489,"cover_blurhash":490,"first_publish_year":222,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":491,"authors":492,"genres":497,"series":500,"enrichment":501},"01kx287nxvs3qjk77h4wqwg67d","the-time-of-my-life-vmsw","The Time of My Life","The stunning and magical new novel from the Number One bestselling author of PS, I Love You","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx287ny91g5qqvt9t4cfnxet.jpg?v=4807e2d40b","L9L}239O00%LXna_MzxV00-.~m.6",403,[493],{"id":494,"slug":495,"name":496},"01kkvp569504jdsnhdwcmmcdpq","cecelia-ahern-orhc","Cecelia Ahern",[498,499],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":367,"name":368,"slug":369,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":76,"complexity":7,"audience":78,"mood":502,"themes":503,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[171,133],[137,83],{"id":505,"slug":506,"title":507,"description":508,"primary_cover_url":509,"cover_blurhash":510,"first_publish_year":186,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":511,"authors":512,"genres":517,"series":520,"enrichment":521},"01kx2fj57rp4ptqcj75cysj8eq","dinner-list-zqra","Dinner List","\"We've been waiting for an hour.\" That's what Audrey says.

As the appetizers are served, wine poured, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there's a reason these six people have been gathered together.

The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a \"lady\" on the crew—even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. But she can't think about that. Because love is girly, and it’s not her thing. And don’t forget the advice her old captain gave her: Never date firefighters.

The inside jacket said that after tragedy strikes Jordan, Sarah a widow and mother of 2, takes him into her home to help him heal (that's a really condensed version).  So, I thought that this \"tragedy\" was going to be a sudden death of his parents, like a car accident.  Wow, was I way off.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Sarah is a widow with two sons, Nate and Danny.  Nate is an active teeenager, who has been suspended from school for truancy, namely skipping class to sit by his father's grave.  Danny is a \"straight to the point\" child in elementary school who is struggling through his remedial classes and trying to figure out why his best friend hates him.  Sarah is a caterer who has managed to keep her family together in the aftermath of her husband's death.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>One day, while running errands, Sarah comes upon her young neighbor, and Danny's former best friend, Jordan.  He is leaving for school late so she offers him a ride.  This ride to school puts the wheels in motion for a very disturbing story.  In short: Jordan attempts suicide, Sarah takes him to the hospital, police become involved and it comes out that Jordan is the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of his father and \"business associates\".  The big question everyone has \"did Courtney (Jordan's mother) also abuse him or was she completely unaware of the atrocities her husband and 'associates' inflicted upon the young boy?\".  The answer comes out over halfway through the book.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Child molestation is a topic that is at once horrifying, disgusting, saddening, sickening, heartbreaking and angering.  We, as adults (and those who are parents) spend a lot of time telling kids about \"Stranger Danger\" and the difference between good touch and bad touch.  My parents drilled all of that into me when I was a child, and thankfully I never experienced stranger danger or bad touch by an adult.  This book takes the horror of pedophilia and puts it into the home of a prominent family in a close-knit neighborhood.  The parents in the community are shocked and horrified that these neighbors, Courtney and Mark, would do something so terrible as abuse their son and allow \"associates\" to also abuse their son and VIDEOTAPE it!  This book does a very good job of showing the aftermath of molestation for the victim (Jordan), concerned\u002Fconfused neighbor (Sarah) and her protective, yet guilt ridden son (Nate).\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Katrina Kittle has written a book that is at once engaging and sad.  I immediately liked Sarah, and felt for her every time she wished her husband was still around to help her address her sons' various issues, then she opens her home and her heart to this young boy who is badly damaged.  Jordan is a good example of an abused child, he fears his father but loves and wants to protect his mother, although both of his parents are guilty of sexual abuse.  Nate reminds me quite a bit of my cousins when they were teenagers: parents were a drag, a lot of peer pressure and testing of the boundaries that exist between being a child and being a man.  When Nate finds out about the abuse Jordan suffered through he is immediately filled with guilt as Courtney, on several occassions, made passes at him as well as kissed him.  He now feels a deep need and desire to protect Jordan from the parents who abused him, as well as work to earn his own mother's trust in him and prove that he will no longer be a disciplinary problem.  Danny is a child who is not able to completely comprehend what has happened to Jordan, until he sees photos of the abuse inflicted on Jordan, then all he wants to do is protect Jordan and rebuild their friendship.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>As part of my job, I sat in a trial on a child sexual assault case, and was deeply bothered by it.  \"Bothered\" isn't even the right word, I cannot begin to express how it affected me, listening to the victim (a 13 year old girl) tell of the events of her assault as well as the testimony of a co-defendant.  I didn't know this young victim, but I kept thinking \"if only I could have saved her\" and \"I hope I can save the next child from experiencing this kind of nightmare\" during the trial.  Sarah did just that, she rescued Jordan and gave him a home and showed him what parent\u002Fchild love is (respect, appreciation, discipline, concern...) and what it is not (sex).  How do you save a child whose parents do to him\u002Fher what only two CONSENTING adults should do, but you don't even know and those parents live right next door to you?  It's never too late to rescue just such a child, that's what the books shows.","none","rv-01kx2kmj81a1qd0c8r4adtmzvz",[],"2026-07-09T04:54:35.000000Z"]
