The Nature of Fragile Things
Vividly rendered in the chaos and mass destruction of the historic earthquake, Meissner’s latest (The Last Year of the War; As Bright as Heaven) is a testament to the strength and solidarity of women in crisis.

Meissner's prose maintains a balanced tone of sorrow throughout this novel. Fans of Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible and the television show Six Feet Under will enjoy. [See Prepub Alert, 8/28/17.]

Stars over Sunset Boulevard
After reading this book, readers will want to watch Gone with the Wind again, as tidbits about the production are scattered throughout the novel. Violet is a deeply unpleasant character, manipulating her world just as Scarlett O'Hara does but without the charm. Readers will want to shake Audrey to make her pay attention to what Violet is doing to her life. The Hollywood moments make the book enjoyable; the take on female friendships, however, drags the book down.

The Amish Clockmaker
The third series entry (after The Amish Groom and The Amish Blacksmith) is an inspiring story of the redemption that can be found in the truth. While Clayton is a quirky and memorable character, Matthew and his wife are a bit less engaging. Still, readers who follow the series as well as fans of Clark (The Amish Midwife) and Meissner (The Shape of Mercy) will want to pick up this title.

The Girl in the Glass
Meissner (A Sound Among the Trees) effectively weaves the stories of the three women together for a compelling tale that is both descriptive and emotional. Recommend it to fans of Melanie Dobson.
