The helpline [large print] / by Collette, Katherine,1981-author.(CARDINAL)805156;
Germaine Johnson doesn't need friends--she has her work and her Sudoku puzzles. Then an incident at her insurance company leaves her jobless. There are very few openings for senior mathematicians with zero people skills, but she finally secures a position at City Hall answering calls on the senior citizens helpline. As it turns out, the mayor also has a secret project for her involving the troublemakers at the senior citizens center and their feud with the neighboring golf club. The mayor wants the senior center closed down, but when Germaine actually gets to know the group of elderly rebels, they open her eyes to a life outside of numbers, and for the first time ever, she realizes she may have miscalculated.

The helpline : a novel / by Collette, Katherine,1981-author.(CARDINAL)805156;
"Germaine Johnson doesn't need friends. She has her work and her Sudoku puzzles. Until, that is, an incident at her insurance company leaves her jobless--and it turns out that there are very few openings these days for senior mathematicians with zero people skills. Soon enough though, Germaine manages to secure a position at City Hall answering calls on the Senior Citizens Helpline. But it turns out that the mayor has something else in mind for Germaine: a secret project involving the troublemakers at the senior citizens center and their feud with the neighboring golf club--which happens to be run by the dashing yet disgraced national Sudoku champion, Don Thomas, a celebrity of the highest order to Germaine. Don and the mayor want the senior center closed down and at first, Germaine is dedicated to helping them out--it makes sense mathematically, after all. But when Germaine actually gets to know the group of elderly rebels at the senior center, they open her eyes to a life outside of boxes and numbers and for the first time ever, Germaine realizes she may have miscalculated. Filled with an eccentric, totally unique, and (occasionally) cranky cast of characters you can't help but love, The Helpline is a feel-good page-turner that will make you reexamine what it means to lead a happy life--and is bound to capture your heart along the way"--

Where the missing go / by Rowley, Emma,author.(CARDINAL)429586;
The missing don't always want to be found. Kate Harlow recognizes this painful truth, even as she keeps searching for her daughter, Sophie, who disappeared two years ago. The police have stopped investigating-after all, Sophie has sent postcards home, insisting that she's fine. To fill the space in her increasingly empty days, Kate volunteers at Message in a Bottle, where runaways can leave messages for loved ones, no questions asked. Then one evening, a call comes in from a voice Kate instinctively recognizes, even through bursts of static and beyond the sudden dial tone that breaks their connection. Those closest to Kate worry she's cracking under her grief, imagining that it was Sophie. But Kate knows-that it was her daughter on the phone. And that a stranger has been inside her house. Watching her. Sophie is out there. And Kate has to find her, even if someone will try anything to stop her . . .
