In the Heart of the Canyon by Elisabeth Hyde

On a hot July morning, twelve individuals set off on a guided raft trip down the Colorado River. From the outset, we wonder if the guides will be able to pull this disparate group together and complete a successful 12 day journey. Add to the mix, a stray dog found along the way and troubles multiply. The challenges found along the river reveal rifts and bonds among the travelers. Some show surprising reserves of courage and others learn humility, the hard way. Full of the beauty and excitement of a wild ride through the Grand Canyon, the story quickly involves the reader in the journey.

Meet Elisabeth Hyde at the Highlands Ranch Library on July 15 at 7 p.m.

The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

Iris, the postmistress in a small Massachusetts town, and Frankie, an ambitious journalist working for Edward R Murrow in London, experience World War II very differently. As fate weaves their stories together both are touched by their experiences in ways both harrowing and enriching.

This novel brings to life rich characters and illustrates the struggles faced by civilians in this country and in Europe during a crucial time in our shared history.
