13 September Reads That Will Fit Your Every Mood

After her husband of 55 years passes away, 78-year-old Harriet Chance impulsively embarks upon an Alaskan cruise that he had planned before his death. In Jonathan Evison's This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance!, a woman takes a journey to figure out her future but instead is confronted with her past. The novel, which is "part dysfunctional love story, part poignant exploration of the mother-daughter relationship," is ultimately a warmhearted tale of "acceptance, reexamination, and forgiveness."
