Reviews"Recalling her work as a volunteer in the Ozark Mountains, and acknowledging her roots in Virginia's pastoral Shenandoah Valley, Richards launches a trilogy of novels inspired by quilt makers, a series that will resonate with fans of family sagas. Richards pieces together each woman's story as artfully as a quilter creates a quilt, with equally satisfying results, and her characterizations are transcendent, endowed with warmth and compassion."--Booklist "This engrossing and suspenseful novel encompasses the trials of two different families who come together, demonstrating the meaning of family is not just determined by blood ties... This is a compelling page-turner one won't want to put down."--New York Journal of Books on The House Guests "Fans of suspenseful domestic drama will love Richards's tale of secrets, lies, and the ties that bind people."--Library Journal, starred review, on The House Guests "I love settling down with a book by Emilie Richards, knowing I can turn myself over to her for a story that's both infinitely readable and emotionally deep. In A Family of Strangers, Emilie seamlessly mixes intrigue, romance and emotional drama as she puts family ties to the test with a protagonist you won't soon forget. You'll root for Ryan Gracey to do the right thing, even as you struggle along with her to determine what that right thing might be. A page-turner to the end!"--Diane Chamberlain, New York Times bestselling author of The Dream Daughter "A Family of Strangers is an absolutely riveting, thrilling read. I could not put it down. The suspense starts with the first line and does not let up until the last sentence. Emilie Richards writes electrifying family drama. There are deep emotions and startling secrets on every page. This one will keep you up all night."--Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author "Richards deftly shifts from women's fiction into domestic suspense, but she doesn't sacrifice the emotional acuity that her fans expect. Ryan's relationships are at the heart of the story, and the few shocking reveals are sensitively handled and presented as part of the difficult process of coming to terms with longstanding family secrets. Readers of relationship-focused domestic-suspense authors such as Lisa Jewell will enjoy Richards' pivot into the genre."--Booklist on A Family of Strangers "I emerged at the last page as a better and more thoughtful person."--Catherine Anderson, New York Times bestselling author, on When We Were Sisters "Emilie Richards is at the top of her game in this richly rewarding tale of love and family and the ties that bind us all. One Mountain Away is everything I want in a novel and more. A must-buy!"--Barbara Bretton, New York Times bestselling author "Richards creates a heart-wrenching atmosphere that slowly builds to the final pages, and continues to echo after the book is finished."--Publishers Weekly on One Mountain Away "Emotional, suspenseful drama."--Library Journal on No River Too Wide
