One Hundred Names/Cecelia Ahern/471 pages

Katherine (Kitty) Logan's career as a journalist is pretty much over after a scandal that lands both her and her bosses in court. When the judgement comes down that costs the television news program a bundle, Kitty is suspended, another word for fired. Kitty's mentor from her first job, Constance, is dying of breast cancer, but she is still happy to talk about a comeback story for Kitty at the magazine that she and her husband run and where Kitty got her start. Constance tells her to get the file from from her house, and then they will discuss what Constance has in mind for the story. Kitty jumps at the chance for redemption, but before she can get back to the hospital, Constance has slipped into a coma. She dies the next day without regaining consciousness. The magazine will be publishing a tribute issue for her, and Kitty boldly asks to write the story that Constance would have written. The problem is the file is just a list of one hundred names and nothing more. Kitty has less than two weeks to figure out the story or her career will be over for good.

This is a charming story of redemption, forgiveness and love.
