Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid is about a band in the 1970s. It's all about how the members of the band, especially Daisy and Billy, live their lives during their rise to freedom

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah is a historical fiction novel about a family living during the Great Depression. The story is centered on Elsa Martinelli, the mother of two children, who must figure out the best way to raise her children during times of hardship and discrimination.

Reconstructing Amelia is every parent's worst nightmare. Kate, a hard-working single mother, receives a phone call saying that her daughter, Amelia, was caught cheating. Rushing from her office, she arrives at the school only to find that Amelia is dead.

I think the author tried to be sensitive to the topic, but, the questions during the trial and at the end of the book were, to me, victim shaming. Also, Katie's father was always discussed as a type of hero, even by those that believed he did it.
