"Group" by Christie Tate ($14)
- What it's about: This memoir follows an ambitious young lawyer who privately struggles with depression and loneliness. When she begins group therapy, she finds herself forced to show other people who she really is, and eventually she finds redemption through the process.
- What Witherspoon says: "Christie's story of being a young professional woman who is struggling with deep insecurity and loneliness made me remember so many times in my life where I wished I had a group of friends to carry me through the hard days. And that's what Christie finds in her therapy group. This book is a testament to the power of human connection."
