Help! Can't remember book title!

Ok, bear with me everyone. My thoughts are scrambled. I will try to give as much detail as possible, unfortunately I might be thinking about two different books. So i will just list the things i do remember and I sure hope someone has read it and know what I am talking about. I loved this (these) story.. have not read it for a long time, but I was discussing great books with a co-worker and told her about this one but the title eluded me...
Here goes:
The time period is not present day.. much earlier.
There is a woman, sister?, the everyone in town talks about, she was disfigured. left her legs messed up but she still walks, she actually teaches ballet to the towns girls, a handful 5 or 6. She holds this class in the third story of the mansion in a dance studio, plays the victrola... they say her dancing a slightly grotesque.. there ended up being a fire...
I wish i could remember more, but basically if you read it, you would have remembered her, she sticks with you ..
I am thinking that there was talk she had a child too, a closed off nursery.. ?
I would love any help, even something remotely close would be awesome!
Thanks Everyone.
Keeping my hope up and fingers crossed.

So I'm trying to find this book about this teenage girl who was sorta forced to move down to the south somewhere. I would like to say Louisiana. Well as she stays here over the course of two books she figures out she can go back in time or see ghost or something. The first book was about yellow fever in a plantation house and the second was about a actor or something who gave a lock of her hair to a solider for his pocket watch chain. All the while there is a love triangle brewing. Any help will be greatly appreciated (:
Trying to remember a book which I thought was written by Joy Fielding but can't find it in her repertoire. She's written on similar lines (The Other Women) and this is about a smart lawyer who lives in Florida with a dashingly handsome psychiatrist who also happens to be controlling. He seems to sabotage her career by making her late for meetings etc. He has a daughter by his first marriage who is a little so-and-so but comes good later. She also has a sister who married a much older man who has a heart attack and dies. Parents are totally screwed up.
If someone can help I'd be very greatful.

There is a great group on here called "Whats the Name of That Book?"

They are pretty good at finding books you can't remember titles or authors.
Just make sure you put something descriptive in the Title of the thread you'll get more people looking at your thread and therefore more people helping you look for the book.
Good Luck!

Hi I am looking for a novel I read as a young girl. I am not sure but I think it may have been written in the 50's or 60's. The authors last name begins with either an A, B or C, I believe, as it was on the first shelf of our small library. I dont recall a lot of the book except for the final chapter. It was about a pioneer woman and the tough times and tribualtions she faced with her husband trying to settle the land. And her family as her children grew, I remember she lost her husband I think from a farming accident. And she remained widowed util her final days. The final chapter was her as a very old woman reflecting on her life, She was cooking bacon on the stove when she suddenly felt tired laid down on her bed and saw her husband standing in the doorway I believe she asked him if he smelled bacon burning??? Forgive me Im going back 50 years. That's all I really remember except for the fact I checked it out 4 times the summer I was 10 and loved it everytime. Would love to more time. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate it.read it again one
Hi, I'm looking for a book which is part of a series. There were three or four sisters in the series. Their names were after the winds, i think. In the first book the sister is Mariah. The man she falls in love with is a priest. Eventually they marry and Mariah has a hard time adjusting on being a priest's wife and forsaking her wild streak. I read this in the 90s and it was a contemporary romance novel. Anyone familiar with this storyline?
Hello!
I'm looking for a book that I've read 3-4 years ago.
That's everything I can remember:
A girl has to come back to her old hometown because her mother, who is an alcoholic, ran away, and left her siblings alone. Her boyfriend cheated on her shortly before her departure.
She doesn't want to go home because she hates this town and the trailer she was living in.
After she comes back she has to find a job. And because she can't find anything else she becomes a stripper.
She meets her neighbour, who is a mechanic.
He also comes to the club and she dances for him.
Only later we get to know that he is blind.
And he lives alone although she thinks that his mother is still alive.
Sorry for my poor English!
I hope you can help me find this book.

I know this is going to seem really out there but I’ve gotta ask. Do you 90s baby’s remember a book about a girl who lives with her two aunts, she goes to a festival in town and falls in love with a handsome young man she meets there. They are quickly married and have a son. Shortly after her son is born she wakes up at her aunts house and is told that that was all just a dream by her aunts. She is treated with she is crazy. After three years She accepts that what happened was nothing more than a dream. She accepts a position as a nanny to the new kings children. She becomes close to the youngest of the kings (alleged)bastards. Although there is a rumor one of the children is legitimate the child’s identity is kept secret from everyone and the children are treated equally. (As the king is expected to marry a duchess soon and her children will be expected to sit on the throne) The future wife of the king is forced to spend time with the children but the king is not present because of matters of state and wedding prep. The future wife treats the nanny and the children poorly and when the future wife hits the youngest son of the king the nanny flat out smacks her. This causes a huge commotion that has the king entering the children’s wing. As she is explaining that the future wife hit the small child, both she and the king recognize one another. He was the man she married and had a son with four years ago. He embraces her and tells her they told him she died in child birth giving him a son. They wed after he sends the duchess packing.

I can't remember the title of this book. I think the Chapter book cover was a girl with a Pegasus next to a tree. About a girl whose parents were thought to be killed after being missing for years or months. She lived with a kinda mean relative, I believe it was her Aunt, where she has to sleep in a small space room which has a tree outside her window. Then she meets a Pegasus where it leads her inside the tree outside her window. Inside the tree she sees other Pegasus and books. The Pegasus know where her parents are and they kindly take her to her parents. She meets her parents that i think are stuck on an island or something and her parents been living there. Her parents, I think her parents don't leave because of a reason and are young. I checked out this book from the Camarena Memorial Library in Calexico, CA under YA Fiction.
This book is about this boy his not little I guess maybe a teen or preteen and he’s put inside this government I think Facility, because he’s extremely smart and good at solving problems, his sister visits him and there are other kids there too and they all are working to solve these puzzles and everything is super nice
I cant remember the title to this book its about a girl who is in high school and does a bunch of pranks on her teacher. She won a trip somewhere for vacation so she went, when she arrived there, her luggage never came through so she left to her hotel she was suppose to stay and when she entered it was anything but luxurious as they told her. So she went to go shopping for some clothes when she saw a group of girls walking in a gate and she thought it was a mall so she went to but then the fate closed and then gentlemen in suits told the ladies that they were to meet the prince but they would have to drug them and take them there and that's when the girl started to freak out because she didn't know what was going on and so she tried to escape but they drugged her and she fell. When she woke up she saw she was in a bed and as she looked at her surroundings it was a very luxurious place. In the meanwhile the prince was having a talk with I think his father saying he doesn't want to chose a princess to be his wife. And so the prince send escorts to each princess to escort them to the dining room and he ordered them to flirt with the princesses and if they flirt back they will be dismissed. And so when the escort cane to go get the girl and tried flirting with her she kicked his butt and explained to him that she doesn't belong here and she was mistaken as being a princess. And so they went to the dining room. She tried to be disgusting so the prince wouldn't choose her but instead he falls in love with her. That's all I can remember oh and the girl has 2 best friends 1 is a girl and the other is a guy who is gay
