The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton (available from Libby ) 
Anthony Ray Hinton spent three decades on death row in Alabama for a crime he did not commit. Hinton spends his days running a death row book club, befriending his fellow inmates, and daydreaming in order to stay sane, all while fighting his wrongful conviction. His determination and resilience keep him going through the years as he fights for his freedom. This memoir is a truly astonishing tale of the human spirit.
Separation Anxiety by Laura Zigman (available from Hoopla )
Judy is going through a bit of a crisis: her marriage is failing, her son is struggling in school, her best friend has been diagnosed with cancer, and her career has tanked. That’s why she wears the dog. You heard me: she wears the dog across her chest in a sling, just like a baby. With a laugh-out-loud funny narrator who’s a little bit kooky in all the best ways, Separation Anxiety is a rare book that will have you laughing and crying on the same page.
