I was a huge Ray Bradbury fan in elementary school, so this futuristic story set in 2050 took me back to places I didn’t think I’d ever return to. A feminist utopia amidst climate dystopia hooked me quickly after I fell for the initial lesbian subplot. This really needs to be a movie if it isn’t already in production!

I couldn’t help but fall in love with this story of a closeted cheerleader who falls for a female quarterback named Jack. Tension kept the plot moving as the two fight the misogyny and queerphobia of the football-crazy school and town.

An unexpected call from Riverton, Manitoba, in 2007 forced Janet Berg to confront her father Daniel’s life and death. He was found shot dead in a field with a shotgun, and the forty-year-old scientist needed to explain why. From her home in Seattle, half a continent away, she sifted through musty boxes and her own memories to piece together what happened to Daniel over his last twelve years of estrangement. Poring over scribbled notes, emails, police reports, and her father’s well-worn Bible, she uncovered a life that ended in one of two ways. The key to solving his murder lay in two crime scenes with the same suspects and victim. As she put the final pieces of the puzzle together, a call from Riverton confirmed her suspicions: the killer had taken her next victim, and a second family was helpless to stop her. Janet’s memoir chronicles her father’s life and death, from his youth in 1950s Saskatchewan to unraveling the mystery of his death ten years later.
