Hard To Kill

Attorney Jane Smith is mounting an impossible criminal defense. 

Her client, Rob Jacobson, is the unluckiest of the unlucky. No sooner is he accused of killing a family of three in the Hamptons than a second family is gunned down. 

Itโ€™s not double jeopardy. Itโ€™s not double murder. Itโ€™s double triple homicide. 

Janeโ€™s career has spanned from NYPD beat cop to Hamptons courtroom. Sheโ€™s tough to beat. Sheโ€™s even tougher to kill. 

The defense may never rest.  

The Women

When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances โ€œFrankieโ€ McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.

As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harmโ€™s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.

Slow Dance

Back in high school, everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together . . . everybody but Shiloh and Cary. 

They were just friends. Best friends. Allies. They spent entire summers sitting on Shilohโ€™s porch steps, dreaming about the future. They were both going to get out of north Omaha โ€“ Shiloh would go to go to college and become an actress, and Cary would join the Navy. They promised each other that their friendship would never change.

Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.

Now Shilohโ€™s 33, and itโ€™s been fourteen years since she talked to Cary. Sheโ€™s been married and divorced. She has two kids. And sheโ€™s back living in the same house she grew up in. Her life is nothing like she planned.

When sheโ€™s invited to an old friendโ€™s wedding, all Shiloh can think about is whether Cary will be there โ€“ and whether she hopes he will be. Would Cary even want to talk to her? After everything?

The answer is yes. And yes. And yes.

Tales of the Library

The State of Michigan is no longer enforcing a mask mandate, so all patrons are welcome inside the library without a mask regardless of vaccinated status. We ask everyone remain respectful of other's decisions on mask usage preferences.

We are confident everyone is navigating these times in a way that is best for them and their family, and we are respectful of your choices.

Please do not come into the library if you are feeling sick.

During the peak of the pandemic, the Fraser Public Library had to close its door in the interest of public health. Since then, staff has explored so many new ways to serve the community on an uncertain future. Five of our staff members sat down to reflect on the last year of their lives at the library and what it was like behind the scenes and behind the decisions the library had to figure out along the way. Take a listen at what they had to say and remember to visit us soon!
