The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits by Jennifer Weiner
Available for checkout at the library and in audiobook through Libby!
Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were once as dependent on each other as sisters could be, but it’s been two decades since they’ve spoken. As a pop sensation in their early twenties, the sisters experienced the ultimate highs of celebrity, until they were driven apart one terrible night. Now, in their early forties, Zoe is a suburban mom in New Jersey, and Cassie is living alone, off-grid in Alaska. In this story of estranged sisters, Zoe’s teenage daughter Cherry is desperate to bring the women back together—and unearth the truth behind their estrangement. As long-buried secrets surface, Cassie and Zoe are forced to confront their past choices and betrayals and decide whether they can be open to forgiveness and reclaiming the strength of their sisterhood.

City of Guymon Mourns the Passing of Former Mayor Jessie Nelson
Guymon, OK— June 8, 2026
The City of Guymon joins the Nelson family, friends, and the entire community in mourning the passing of former Mayor Jess Nelson, a dedicated public servant whose leadership and commitment helped shape the City of Guymon for generations.
Mr. Nelson devoted many years of service to the citizens of Guymon through his work on the City Council and as Mayor. Throughout his public service, he was known for his steady leadership, practical wisdom, and unwavering dedication to improving the quality of life for the residents of Guymon. His legacy can be seen throughout the community he loved and served so faithfully.
Current Mayor Kim Peterson reflected on Mr. Nelson's impact on the city and its citizens:
"Jessie Nelson represented the very best of public service. He cared deeply about Guymon and the people who call it home. His leadership helped guide our community through important periods of growth and change, and his commitment to serving others set an example for all who followed him. On behalf of the City Council and the citizens of Guymon, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Nelson family and all who were blessed to know him."
City Manager Micheal Shannon, who had the privilege of serving under Mr. Nelson's leadership, also shared his thoughts:
"Jessie Nelson was a mentor, a leader, and a true gentleman. During my time working with him, I witnessed firsthand his devotion to the City of Guymon and his sincere desire to do what was best for our community. He approached every challenge with integrity, common sense, and respect for others. I am personally grateful for the opportunity to have served under Mayor
Nelson and to have learned from his example. His influence on this community and on those who worked alongside him will not be forgotten."
The City of Guymon extends its deepest sympathy to the Nelson family during this time of loss. While we grieve his passing, we also celebrate a life dedicated to service, leadership, and community. May the memories of Jess Nelson's life and accomplishments continue to inspire future generations of public servants and community leaders.
Please keep the Nelson family in your thoughts and prayers as they honor and remember a man whose contributions to Guymon will endure for years to come.
