From the fan-favorite author of Underneath the Sycamore Tree comes the next installment in a raw, real romance series following the lives of the Lindon U football players and the complicated girls who change their lives forever. When Skylar Allen decided to move across the country for college, she thought it'd be the perfect chance to reinvent herself. But then one party changed the course of her entire freshman year. Just when she thinks she's about to drown in the foggy memories of her night spent partying at the football house, Daniel Bridges walks into her life. Lindon University's wide receiver. A total flirt. And a total threat. Because he can help her take away the memories she does remember from that night. What Skylar doesn't anticipate is the friendship she forms with the witty football player as months go on. And how easy it is to fall for him as he teaches her how to trust again...and so much more.

"In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned -- from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren -- an enigmatic artist and single mother -- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town -- and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides."--Provided by Publisher

From the fan-favorite author of Underneath the Sycamore Tree comes the first in a raw, real romance series following the lives of the Lindon U football players and the complicated girls who change their lives forever. When Ivy asked her best friend to run away with her at sixteen, she knew he'd say no. He had football, an amazing family, and a happy home to go back to every day. So the night Ivy snuck out of his bedroom window after hugging him goodbye, she accepted she'd probably never see him again. Then they both wound up at Lindon University four years later. Ivy is barely picking up the pieces of her life when the boy whose initials she used to doodle hearts around approaches her at work. Aiden Griffith. Lindon U's star tight end. Still as attractive. Still as dedicated. With rumors of him being drafted to the NFL coming to fruition, Ivy knows it's only a matter of time before they have to say goodbye again. But he can't seem to let her go, no matter what she says, and she doesn't think she wants him to.

Serial na podstawie książki z Reese Witherspoon i Kerry Washington w 2019 roku! Przeczytałam Małe ogniska jednym tchem Jodi Picoult Niedopowiedzeniem byłoby stwierdzenie, że kocham tę książkę. Daje nam ona głęboki psychologiczny wgląd w potęgę macierzyństwa, siłę nastoletniej miłości i pułapki czyhające na ludzi dążących do perfekcji. Poruszyła mnie do łez Reese Witherspoon Uwielbiam Małe ogniska. W tym roku chyba nie czytałem lepszej powieści John Green Dowcipna, mądra i wrażliwa. Po prostu cudowna Paula Hawkins Bezbłędnie celuje w martwe punkty amerykańskiej wyższej klasy średniej Pełne niuansów studium relacji między matkami i córkami oraz brzemienia, jakim jest brak poczucia przynależności do naszych rodzin czy naszych społeczności Vogue W Shaker Heights, spokojnym, postępowym miasteczku na obrzeżach Cleveland, wszystko zostało zaplanowane począwszy od rozkładu krętych dróg, przez kolory domów, na pełnych sukcesów życiach jego mieszkańców kończąc. A nikt nie uosabia lepiej ducha tego miejsca niż Elena Richardson, która kieruje się zasadą, że najważniejsze jest trzymanie się zasad. Na scenę wkracza Mia Warren enigmatyczna artystka i samotna matka która wchodzi w ten zamknięty, idylliczny świat wraz ze swoją nastoletnią córką Pearl i wynajmuje od Richardsonów dom. Wkrótce Mia i Pearl staną się kimś więcej niż tylko najemcami: ta para przyciąga do siebie całą czwórkę dzieci Richardsonów. Lecz Mia ma za sobą tajemniczą przeszłość, zaś w duszy pogardę dla zastanego stanu rzeczy, która grozi wywróceniem tej starannie ułożonej społeczności do góry nogami. Gdy starzy przyjaciele Richardsonów chcą zaadoptować dziecko o chińskich korzeniach, wybucha wojna o prawa do opieki, która dzieli całe miasteczko i stawia Mię i Elenę po dwóch różnych stronach barykady. Nieufna wobec Mii i jej motywów, Elena jest zdeterminowana, by odkryć sekrety z jej przeszłości. Lecz za swoją obsesję przyjdzie jej zapłacić nieoczekiwaną i druzgocącą cenę. Małe ogniska to powieść, która zgłębia wagę tajemnic, naturę sztuki i tożsamości oraz niemal zwierzęcą siłę matczynej miłości, jak również niebezpieczeństwa czyhające za przekonaniem, że trzymanie się zasad może nas obronić przed katastrofą.
