The One I Left Behind by Jennifer McMahon - a woman's mother was presumed killed by a serial killer 20 years ago and is found to be alive. The book alternates between past and present. I didn't figure out who it was until about the same time as the heroine.

Lifesaving Lessons: Notes From an Accidental Mother by Linda Greenlaw - a true story of a single woman who finds herself the guardian of a 15 yo girl. Linda Greenlaw is a fishing captain who survived the Perfect Storm and has written a couple of other books. The first part of the book was too much about fishing but once it got past that was okay. I couldn't tell if the book was linear - she mentioned things a couple of different times and I couldn't tell when they actually happened.

The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian - fiction, but it covers actual events. The book takes place in the present and in 1915 during the genocide of Armenians by Turkey. Told from several different viewpoints.

I've been reading these. I decided to read only the ones that you mark with 4 stars. So this week I've got two! :)
