Emotional Page Turners Your Mom Will Love

All it takes is one horrible decision to tear down the dream life Lily Webb built with the love of her life. That was years ago, but the heartbreak of that loss stayed with Lily. After all, she learned about loss when her mother died. 

She’s begun to move on, finding love and companionship with a new man. But when her first love comes back into her life, Lily is forced to finally face all the questions and doubts that have lingered since that night back in High School. 

Leaving her with the only question that matters: can she find that same wild excitement in the safety and comfort of her second love?

Tova Sullivan has been working nights at the Sowell Bay Aquarium ever since her husband died. It keeps her busy, a tactic that has worked for her ever since her son disappeared thirty years ago. 

It’s there that Tova meets Marcellus, a curmudgeonly giant Pacific octopus. Marcus is far more adept at understanding his human captors than they give him credit, something he keeps to himself. 

But when Marcellus figures out what actually happened to Tova’s son, he has to use every available trick he can think of to help her uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Ove is not liked by his neighbors. They think he’s bitter and angry. It’s not his fault that he has routines and standards. 

Just because he expects things to be done a certain way and doesn’t feel the need to have a smile plastered on his face doesn’t mean he has a temper. 

Having new neighbors is his worst nightmare. Especially when they smash his mailbox on their first day. Even more so when the entire family, including their two daughters, is overly chatty and friendly. 

But what no one expected was that the family would forge a friendship with their cranky neighbor—not even Ove.

Soline Roussel was once a master of happily-ever-afters. Her family’s bridal salon held the reputation of guaranteeing a bride a lifetime of joy if they wore a Roussel gown.

But when WWII devastated Soline’s world, she packed away her memories and was determined to forget. Decades later, Rory Grant leases the shop and stumbles on a box filled with letters and a vintage wedding gown that was never worn.

 When she returns the box to Soline, the two women begin a friendship neither was expecting. One that opens the door for them both to remember, heal, and perhaps, unlock a little magic along the way.

Life in 1932 wasn’t easy for children. Odie O’Banion and his brother Albert are two orphans living at the Lincoln Indian Training School, where Native American children are forced to be educated. 

They’re the only two white boys among hundreds, and Odie strives to rile the superintendent as much as possible. But when they commit an atrocious crime, they’re forced on the run, taking their best friend Mose and a brokenhearted girl named Emmy. 

Together, they steal a canoe and head for the Mississippi, searching for a place they can all call home. It’s a summer none of them will forget as they make their way across the American landscape, encountering displaced and lost souls all looking for healing, hope, and redemption.

After his partner Sydney dies, the only way Gavin can deal with his grief is by burning everything that reminds him of Sydney. Publicly. And when that doesn’t work, he flees across the country to stay with an old friend. 

There he meets Joan, his friend’s ten-year-old daughter. She was born with the rare ability to remember every detail of her life in vivid detail. Joan wants to win a songwriting contest, something Gavin can help her achieve, and she offers her memories of Sydney in exchange. 

But when her memories call into question the purity of Gavin’s memories, he’s forced to confront not just his idea of the past, but who he might be in the future.

We all have that one special someone that we can’t live without. For Ted Flash, that someone is Lily, his aging companion. So what if she happens to be a dog? 

Letting go is never easy. Especially when you love that fiercely. But fighting for the ones you love, whether that means pushing forward or saying goodbye, is the bravest, most worthwhile, and epic journey of them all.

What would you do if you could go back in time? Who would you see if you had one more chance? 

For four visitors, they each have an answer. The only question is, will it satisfy them as much as they hope?
