Winter Reading Incentive Program: Ran from Feb. 1-28. Program

to beat last year’s record! A dragon scale with the name of the reader
and the book title was added to the library dragon for each book read.

Book review: “The Obsession” by Nora Roberts.
Naomi Bowes had her world changed forever the night she followed her
father into the woods. Naomi uncovers the horrific crimes her father has
committed when she rescues a trapped girl from a root cellar.
Naomi has finally found a place to call home. She’s made new friends,
has a fresh romance blooming and success as a photographer.
Naomi is thinking she has finally overcome her past, but she soon
learns that no matter how far she goes, she can’t escape the evil sins of
her father.
Roberts creates Naomi’s character with heart and a strong will. You will
root for her to triumph and succeed throughout her hard times. Roberts
surrounds Naomi with supportive characters to add in friendship, love
and lightheartedness. Roberts keeps the mystery flowing throughout the
novel, making you want to keep turning pages to find out how the story
will end. – Reviewed by Library Aide Crystal Bigelow
