And sometimes it makes her sad. One day when Mia visits her Grandpa, he gives her a little blue notebook saying, “When I write about Grandma, I am sad but I am happy too.

My notebook is a home for my heart.” Mia keeps her notebook wherever she goes, writing about happy and sad memories. And soon her notebook becomes a way to balance that missing feeling.

Growing up in a home without a mother and with a world-renowned surgeon for a father, wasn’t easy for Mila. And when she grows into a woman, it seems like her father never gives her her wings. What makes it worse is her litter of siblings are estranged, and the only real contact she has is with her father’s assistant and the maid. Until Dawson, a young, budding surgeon, comes along, and he sees Mila for the woman she is. Dawson idolizes Doctor Smirnova’s work, in fact, he writes his medical thesis on the surgical genius, and bases his whole medical practice on the man’s livelihood. So, when he receives an invitation to go to Russia to study Smirnova’s newest procedure, he packs his bags and peels out of the driveway faster than his legs can carry him. But strange things begin to occur upon his arrival. He is forcefully invited to stay in the man’s guest house, and a strange yet beautiful woman seems to appear everywhere, as if from nowhere, and Smirnova’s behavior raises brows to say the least. When Dawson is introduced to Mila, even weirder things happen, and Dawson inadvertently uncovers a secret that has been kept in the family for more than two decades. With a swift trip back to U.S. soil, and an extra passenger accompanying him, Dawson soon learns that things in his world have not always been as they have seemed…and someone will pay for it with their life.

Children of Men meets The Handmaid's Tale in this "smartly written" and "splendid" thriller about how far a mother will go to protect her son from a hostile world transformed by the absence of men (Stephen King). Most of the men are dead. Three years after the pandemic known as The Manfall, governments still hold and life continues—but a world run by women isn't always a better place. Twelve-year-old Miles is one of the last boys alive, and his mother, Cole, will protect him at all costs. On the run after a horrific act of violence-and pursued by Cole's own ruthless sister, Billie—all Cole wants is to raise her kid somewhere he won't be preyed on as a reproductive resource or a sex object or a stand-in son. Someplace like home. To get there, Cole and Miles must journey across a changed America in disguise as mother and daughter. From a military base in Seattle to a luxury bunker, from an anarchist commune in Salt Lake City to a roaming cult that's all too ready to see Miles as the answer to their prayers, the two race to stay ahead at every step . . . even as Billie and her sinister crew draw closer. A sharply feminist, high-stakes thriller from award-winning author Lauren Beukes, Afterland brilliantly blends psychological suspense, American noir, and science fiction into an adventure all its own—and perfect for our times.
