Jordan by Anna Reynolds with Moira Buffini

The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret by Catherine Johnson
The alternating stories of two women (played by the same actress), both of whom 'lose' their sons - one murdered, the other a runaway.
Unsuspecting Susan by Stewart Permutt

Also available: Singular Male Voices.
