Handpicked by Meghan September 2019 Hello, I am the Adult Programming Librarian at the River Forest Public Library. My favorite hobbies include reading, travel, spending time with family, and going to see musicals. My reading tastes are all over the map, but the genres I tend to enjoy most often include nonfiction (especially Irish or American history), psychological thrillers, humor, memoirs, and fantasy. I love to get to know the amazing patrons of RFPL and help people discover books, movies, or tv shows. Let's chat about books and media!

The Cactus
by Sarah Haywood
For Susan Green, messy emotions don't fit into the equation of her perfectly ordered life. She has a flat that is ideal for one, a job that suits her passion for logic and an 'interpersonal arrangement' that provides cultural and other, more intimate, benefits. But suddenly confronted with the loss of her mother and the news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan's greatest fear is realized. She is losing control. When she learns that her mother's will inexplicably favors her indolent brother, Edward, Susan's already dismantled world is sent flying into a tailspin. As Susan's due date draws near and her family problems become increasingly difficult to ignore, Susan finds help and self-discovery in the most unlikely of places.
