This week's pick is Promised to Keep by Jane Green. Due out on June 15, 2010.
From the New York Times bestselling author-a momentous new novel about a family suddenly thrown together
Callie Perry is a successful family photographer living in upstate New York. She adores her two daughters, has great friends, and actually doesn't mind that her workaholic husband gets home at 9 p.m. every night-that is, when he's not traveling six months out of the year. Callie's younger sister, Steff, on the other hand, has never grown up. She's a free spirit, living in downtown Manhattan and bouncing between jobs and boyfriends. Lately, she's been working as a vegan chef, even though she can't cook. Lila Grossman is Callie's best friend and has finally met the man of her dreams. Eddie has two wonderful children, but also a drama queen ex-wife who hates Lila. And then there are Callie and Steff's parents, Walter Cutler and Honor Pitman. Divorced for thirty years, they rarely speak to each other. The lives of these colorful characters intersect when they each receive a shocking note that summons them together for one extraordinary summer in Maine and changes their lives forever. This novel is about the hard choices we have to face, about having to be your parents' child long after you've grown up, and about the enduring nature of love.

Love plots that bring together a mixture of characters. This one sound very intriguing.
I really enjoy her books, so this one's on my list, too. Great pick!
Haven't read any of this authory, but this sounds really good. Great pick. Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
This is one of those authors whose books I've always meant to read but just haven't been able to yet. I love books that tell the story of a bunch of characters at once, so maybe this will be my first Green read! Nice pick!
