She must make a choice between following love and the easy way out or choose to do it her way and follow her dream to play football.

This week our Staff Reading Recommendation comes from Katy, a member of Ashburn Library's Circulation Team.
“As an avid mystery and thriller reader, I was excited to read 'The Last Thing He Told Me' by Laura Dave. When a father goes missing, it is up to his new wife and his daughter to seek answers and find the real truth behind his disappearance. Dave writes a novel that can easily be read in one or two sittings.The developing relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter leads to a surprising and heartfelt conclusion. This was a perfect book to read on vacation. I highly recommend you put it on your list.”
