SUMMARY
A tale of an unexpected inheritance from a movie star that pulls a
young woman into a world of wealth, celebrity, and haunting secrets.
When Cassie Danvers gets a visit explaining that she’s the sole heir to legendary Hollywood
movie star Jack Montgomery’s fortune, she is stunned. He’s named her as his granddaughter
and cut his two famous daughters out of the will. Cassie doubts this could be possible:
her late grandmother, June, never mentioned him. But Cassie finds out that Montgomery
filmed a movie in June’s hometown of St. Jude, Ohio, in the summer of 1955—and he and
June fell in love. Meanwhile, the family home in St. Jude seems to come alive every time
Jack and June’s names are mentioned in the same breath. Cassie soon discovers that
June had good reasons to keep her secrets about what happened that summer, secrets
involving blackmail, murder, betrayal, and broken hearts. A suspenseful and atmospheric
summer novel, June tells the story of two young women, united across 60 years,
confronting similar, but extraordinary, circumstances.

SUMMARY
A mind-bending, relentlessly paced science-fiction thriller, in which an
ordinary man is kidnapped, knocked unconscious—and awakens in a world
inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew.
Jason Dessen is walking home through the chilly Chicago streets one night, looking
forward to a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with his wife, Daniela, and their son,
Charlie—when his reality shatters.
It starts with a man in a mask kidnapping him at gunpoint, for reasons Jason can’t begin
to fathom—what would anyone want with an ordinary physics professor?—and grows even
more terrifying from there, as Jason’s abductor injects him with some unknown drug and
watches while he loses consciousness.
When Jason awakes, he’s in a lab, strapped to a gurney—and a man he’s never seen
before is cheerily telling him “Welcome back!”
Jason soon learns that in this world he’s woken up to, his house is not his house.
His wife is not his wife. His son was never born.
And someone is hunting him.
Is the life Jason remembers just some crazed dream? And can he survive long enough
to discover the answers he needs?

Everything Elka knows of the world she learned from
the man she calls father, the solitary hunter who took
her under his wing when she was just seven years old.
He has taught her how to shoot, track, set snares,
and start fires—all the skills she needs to survive in
a frozen, lawless land where civilization has been
destroyed and men are at the mercy of the elements
and each other.
But the man Elka thought she knew is harboring
a terrible secret. He’s a killer. A monster. And now
that Elka knows the truth, she, too, is in danger.
Armed with nothing but her knife and the survival
skills he’s taught her, Elka escapes and sets out on a
journey to the frozen north in the hope of finding her
long-lost parents. But judging by the trail of blood and
bodies dogging her footsteps, daddy won’t be letting
his little girl go without a fight.

Political Science - Political Ideologies - Democracy
It’s been a bad few years for Democrats.
Congressional Republicans are holding bills hostage
and blocking judicial appointments. The Supreme
Court has eviscerated campaign finance laws.
Meanwhile, 22 states have passed laws making it
harder to cast a ballot—especially for young people,
poor people, and people of color—groups that, not
coincidentally, tend to vote liberal. Progressives have
tended to see these maneuvers as cynical attempts
to stymie their agenda. But reporter Zachary Roth
decided to dig deeper. What he found was disturbing:
A growing number of Republicans are afraid of popular
rule—and they’re doing everything they can to limit
it. A sharp, searing polemic in the tradition of Rachel
Maddow and Matt Taibbi, The Great Suppression is
an urgent wake-up call that shows us why we need
democracy now more than ever.

Vinegar Girl
A Novel
Anne Tyler
Publicist: Rachel Rokicki | 212-782-8455 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew retold as Vinegar Girl by
Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestseller.
Anne Tyler’s retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern,
independent woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. Its answer is as
individual, offbeat, and funny as Kate herself.
Kate Battista feels stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric
scientist father and her uppity, pretty younger sister, Bunny? Plus, she’s always in trouble
at work—her preschool charges adore her, but their parents don’t always appreciate her
unusual opinions and forthright manner.
Dr. Battista has his own problems. After years in the academic wilderness, he is on
the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There’s only one problem:
his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr,
Dr. Battista’s work may not ever be realized.
When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the
country, he’s relying—as usual—on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he’s really
asking too much. Will she be able to resist the two men’s touchingly ludicrous campaign
to bring her around?
AUTHOR BIO
ANNE TYLER was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1941 and grew up in Raleigh, North
Carolina. A Spool of Blue Thread, Anne Tyler’s New York Times bestselling twentieth novel,

A part-time job at a video store, the intermittent
company of a few friends, and an unassuming daily
routine that more often than not concludes with a
pizza and movie in his one-room flat on Södermalm
in Stockholm. This is the life of our main character
and narrator—until he receives a mysterious invoice.
The invoice requires him to pay the astronomical
amount of 5.7 million kronor. This is the price he has
to pay for everything he has experienced throughout
his entire life, as well as for all the happiness he has
ever known. But how will our beloved movie buff,
who is content with so little and has no big dreams
or prospects, ever pay? Will it cause him to lose the
woman he’s beginning to fall in love with? All these
questions pull you through The Invoice, another
entertaining, original, thought-provoking hit from
Jonas Karlsson.

SUMMARY
From a New York Times bestselling author
come stories about familial sacrifice, war,
and the power of art.
PRAISE FOR THE TSAR OF LOVE
AND TECHNO
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces
a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect
in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s
Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending
photographs, deep underneath Leningrad. A chorus
of women recount their stories and those of their
grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled
their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share
a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former
USSR face violence at home and in the military. And
great sacrifices are made in the name of a painting,
unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly
peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich
character portraits and a sense of history reverberating
into the present, this is a captivating work from one of
our greatest new talents.

The Gap of Time
A Novel
Jeanette Winterson
Publicist: Dyana Messina | 212-572-2098
[email protected]
SUMMARY
Now in paperback, the debut title in the critically acclaimed Hogarth Shakespeare series.
The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s “late plays.”
It tells the story of a king whose jealousy results in the
banishment of his baby daughter and the death of his
beautiful wife. His daughter is found and brought up
by a shepherd on the Bohemian coast, but through a
series of extraordinary events, father and daughter,
and eventually mother too are reunited.
In The Gap of Time, Jeanette Winterson’s cover
version of The Winter’s Tale, we move from London,
a city reeling after the 2008 financial crisis, to a
storm-ravaged American city called New Bohemia.
Her story is one of childhood friendship, money,
status, technology, and the elliptical nature of time.
Written with energy and wit, this is a story of the
consuming power of jealousy on the one hand, and
redemption and the enduring love of a lost child on
the other.
PRAISE FOR JEANETTE WINTERSON
“Fierce, curious, brilliant.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
“At every turn . . . her fresh, vivid way of putting
things stops one dead in admiration.”

“The reader will be carried along by the
vitality of her style and her ever-present sense
of adventure.” —The Guardian
“Jeanette Winterson has always possessed an
extravagantly metaphorical imagination.”

A sprawling family house on the banks of the Nile
in Cairo lies at the heart of this subtle, ruminative
novel. Told across three summers, Chronicle of a
Last Summer charts the memories, dreams, questions,
and observations of a young girl in a repressive state.
Her days pass quietly, listening to a mother’s phone
conversations, watching the three state-sanctioned
TV stations, daydreaming about other lives. Underlying
this claustrophobic routine is mystery and loss.
Relatives mutter darkly about the newly appointed
President Mubarak. People disappear overnight.
Her own father has left too—why, or to where, no one
will say. Now, as an adult, she sits down to write and
consider that past. Chronicle of a Last Summer traces
the fine line between survival and complicity, exploring
the conscience of a generation raised in silence.

After a decade living in England, Jeremy O’Keefe,
a professor, returns to New York. Though comfortable
in his new life and happy to be near his daughter again,
Jeremy continues to feel pangs of loneliness. Walking
through the city at night, it’s as though he could
disappear and no one would even notice.
But soon, Jeremy’s life begins taking strange
turns: boxes containing records of his online activity
are delivered to his apartment, and a young man
seems to be following him. Why, he wonders, would
anyone want to watch him so closely, and why would
they alert him to the fact that he is being watched?
As he takes stock of the entanglements that
marked his years abroad, Jeremy is forced to ask
himself whether he is “no one,” as he believes,
or a traitor not just to his country but to everyone
around him.

Approval Junkie
Adventures in Caring Too Much
Faith Salie
Publicist: Tammy Blake | 212-572-2542 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
From comedian and journalist Faith Salie, of NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell
Me! and CBS News Sunday Morning, a collection of humorous essays
chronicling the author’s adventures during her lifelong quest for approval.
Faith Salie has done it all in the name of validation. Whether it’s trying to impress her
parents with a perfect GPA, embarking on a spiritual retreat to save her toxic marriage,
or maintaining the BMI of “a flapper with a touch of dysentery,” Salie is the ultimate
approval seeker.
In “Miss Aphrodite,” she recounts her strategy for winning the high school beauty
pageant (“No one stood a chance against my emaciated, spastic resolve”), and in
“What I Wore to My Divorce” Salie struggles to pick the perfect outfit to wear to divorce
her “wasband” (“I envisioned a look that said, ‘Yo, THIS is what you’ll be missing”), and in
“Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me About Batman’s Nipples,” she reveals the secret to her hilarious
jokes on NPR (“I study for this show like Tracy Flick on Adderall”).
Equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and poignant, Approval Junkie is one woman’s journey
to the realization that seeking approval from others is more than just getting them to like
you—it’s challenging yourself to achieve more than you ever thought you could.
AUTHOR BIO
FAITH SALIE is an Emmy-winning contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning and a panelist
on NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me! She also hosts the new PBS, Science Goes to the Movies.
Faith attended Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, where her fellow scholars went
on to become governors and mayors, while she landed on a Star Trek collectible trading
card worth hundreds of cents.

Party of One
A Memoir in 21 Songs
Dave Holmes
Publicist: Rebecca Marsh | 212-572-2544
[email protected]
SUMMARY
A former MTV VJ’s memoir about fumbling his way toward self-acceptance,
with ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s music as his soundtrack.
Dave Holmes has spent his life on the periphery, wanting just one thing: to get inside.
Growing up, he was the artsy son in the sporty family and the closeted gay kid at his
Catholic high school. And then, in his twenties, he became an MTV VJ overnight when
he finished second, naturally, in the Wanna Be a VJ contest, opening the door to fame,
fortune, and celebrity—well, almost.
In Party of One, Dave shares the hilarious tales of an outsider desperate to find his
people. Structured around a mix of songs—from Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart” to
En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind” to The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights”—and punctuated
with interludes like “So You’ve Had Your Heart Broken in the 1990s: A Playlist,” this book is
a funny, deeply nostalgic memoir about never fitting in, never giving up, and letting good
music guide the way.
AUTHOR BIO
DAVE HOLMES is a writer, comedian, and television personality based in Los Angeles.
After working for five years as an MTV VJ, Dave has hosted shows for CBS, Bravo, Comedy

Biography & Autobiography Composers & Musicians
When 12-year-old Jensen Karp rapped for his first
crowd at a bar mitzvah in 1991, little did he know that
he was starting on a crazy journey that would end with
a million-dollar deal with Interscope Records at 19.
This is the true story of his close brush with fame.
On Jensen’s wild ride, we’ll see his struggles with
his suburban LA classmates, who tell him that “rap
is for black people”; his record-breaking rap battling
streak; and his nights spent onstage and in studios.
We’ll also meet memorable characters, from his
supportive parents to stars like Kanye West, Mýa, and
will.i.am. Finally, we’ll learn why his album was shelved,
and what he found instead of rap glory.
Full of humor and heart, this fish-out-of-water
memoir is 30 Rock for the rap set; 8 Mile for the
suburbs; and quite the journey for a white kid from
the valley.

Victuals
An Appalachian Journey, with Recipes
Ronni Lundy
Publicist: Anna Mintz | 212-572-6186 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
Victuals is an exploration of the cuisines, people, and places of Appalachia
as it guides us through the surprisingly diverse history—and vibrant
present—of food in the Mountain South.
Written by Ronni Lundy, widely regarded as one of the most engaging authorities on the
region, Victuals explores the new, old, and timeless foods of the Mountain South through
recipes, stories, traditions, and innovations. Each chapter explores a specific defining
food tradition of the region—such as salt, beans, corn (and corn liquor). They introduce
readers to their rich, sometimes dark, histories and to the farmers, curers, makers, and
chefs who define the contemporary landscape. Sitting at a diverse intersection of cultures,
Appalachia has much more to teach us than those of us “from off” might have ever assumed.
Through over 80 recipes and stories gathered on her travels in the region, Lundy shares
the world and flavors of her land and people.
AUTHOR BIO
RONNI LUNDY has long chronicled the people of the hillbilly diaspora as an award-winning
journalist and cookbook author. She is the former restaurant reviewer and music critic for

When Paul Graham was suddenly diagnosed with a
serious wheat allergy at the age of 36, he was forced
to say goodbye to traditional pasta, pizza, sandwiches,
and more. Gone, too, were many of his hobbies,
including brewing beer with a buddy and gorging
on his wife’s homemade breads. In writing that is
effortless and engaging, Paul explores why incidence
of the disease is on the rise and how modern wheat
has been altered from ancestral varieties, while also
grappling with an identity crisis—given that all his
favorite pastimes involved wheat in some form.
His honest, unflinching, and at times humorous
journey toward health and acceptance makes an
inspiring read.

Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki
Martin Cate with Rebecca Cate
Publicist: David Hawk | 510-285-2951 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
From the perennially popular and critically adored San Francisco bar
Smuggler’s Cove, an illustrated history of tiki and rum culture in America,
with 100 recipes for tiki and rum-based cocktails.
Tiki cocktails are drenched in lore and legend, harking back to their invention as escapist
fantasies for Depression-era Americans. This book is rich with stories of tiki history, how
drinks were invented and stolen, secret recipes and how they were decoded, Caribbean
journeys and South Pacific shipwrecks, Hollywood scandals, and midcentury-American
dreams. Martin Cate is considered one of the foremost experts in the world not only of
tiki, but also rum, and here he provides a complete primer to the various styles of rum—
their history, uses, and most delicious applications—to round out this utterly unique,
wickedly fun cocktail collection.
AUTHOR BIO
MARTIN CATE is one of the foremost scholars of tiki lore and history and is invited to speak
at tiki conferences and gatherings all over the world. He is also the owner of Whitechapel,

in 2009 and has been named one of the World’s 50 Best Bars by Drinks International for five
years in a row and was voted one of America’s best bars by Playboy and Esquire magazines.

Becoming Steve Jobs
The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a
Visionary Leader
Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli
Publicist: Owen Haney | 212-572-2076
[email protected]
SUMMARY
Now in paperback, the #1 New York Times
bestselling biography of how Steve Jobs
became the most visionary CEO in history.
With a new foreword by Marc Andreessen and a new
afterword by the authors, Becoming Steve Jobs is a
narrative on Jobs’s evolution as a manager and leader,
as an astute CEO, as a father, and as a visionary with
an unparalled sense of what consumers wanted—
before they knew what they wanted themselves. But
he didn’t start out with those skills. When he first left
Apple in 1985 and struck out to form his own company,
NeXT, he knew little about running a company, holding
to a budget, or developing successful products. It
was during his years in the wilderness, unsuccessfully
launching NeXT and helping to revitalize Pixar, that he
learned the skills that would make him so successful
upon his return to Apple in 1996.
PRAISE FOR BECOMING STEVE JOBS
“Will quicken the pulse of even obsessive Apple
watchers....Q layered portrait of the mercurial
Jobs, whose style and personality...were constantly
evolving.” —New York Times Book Review
“Highly recommended.”
—Philip Elmer-DeWitt, Fortune.com
“The book about Steve Jobs that the world
deserves. Smart, accurate, informative, insightful
and at times, utterly heartbreaking....Becoming
Steve Jobs is going to be an essential reference for
decades to come.” —John Gruber, Daring Fireball

Fox News star Michelle Fields profiles the

Barons of the Beltway exposes the hidden perks,
freebies, and ego stroking that define a political
class that is out of touch and out to lunch. Our public
servants are chauffeured in town cars to destinations
two blocks away, vacation in exotic locations for free,
send congressional funds into their families’ pockets,
and exempt themselves and their friends from the
laws they create. And while our Founding Fathers
fought against monarchy, America now has royal
families of its own: the Bush and Clinton dynasties.
Fields reveals how to overthrow them and return
to the principles our founders envisioned.

SUMMARY
The 2016 election is conservatives’ last, best
chance to win back the country. What will it
take for them to win?
The answer, Morrissey says, depends on seven battleground counties in swing states that Republicans won
in 2004 but lost to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
After eight years of misadventures under the Obama
administration, the door is open for Republicans to
win them—and the presidency—once again, making a
decisive mandate against liberalism.
In Going Red, Morrissey weaves together data
and the stories of people and leaders in these
communities to answer the most pressing questions
in this election:

The Spirit Contemporary Life
Unleashing the Miraculous in Your Everyday World
Leon Fontaine
Publicist: Brett Benson | 719-264-5661 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
How to have a relationship with God that is captivating...energizing...
purposeful...rewarding...life changing.
Before Leon Fontaine became a pastor, he was an EMT first responder who wanted
desperately to offer both medical and spiritual care and healing to broken people.
But how could he bring the miraculous, healing power of God from inside church walls
to his “real world”? As he administered medical aid Leon began to silently and naturally
pray for God to intervene—and miracles began to occur! Leon later described this living
out of simple faith as The Spirit Contemporary Life. Later, as a pastor, this approach to
God and faith became the central theme of his ministry. Now, decades later, the Spirit
ContemporaryTM way of living, which promotes a supernatural connection with God that
is both natural and relevant to everyday life, is practiced by people the world over.
In The Spirit Contemporary Life, the author draws on biblical truth and many personal
experiences to reveal how a dynamic, first-century-type faith is possible for anyone in
any setting—today.
AUTHOR BIO

Reset
Jesus Changes Everything
Nick Hall
SUMMARY
The founder of the fastest growing evangelistic movement in America
presents a passionate invitation to encounter Jesus in a way that will
change readers’ lives, churches, communities, and the world.
About a dozen years ago, as a college junior, Nick Hall had a prayer and a dream for culture
to be awakened to the reality of Jesus. Now the founder of what has become the fastest
growing evangelistic movement in America, Hall provides a modern retelling of biblical
stories and shows how Jesus is the ultimate reset back to the life we are created for.
He reaches out to those who are unfamiliar with Jesus, showing them that the world
offers empty promises and only Jesus can make us fully alive and fully satisfied. Reset also
challenges Christians to refocus on Jesus if they have been distracted by other messages
in the culture. Whether the reader’s heart cry is for Jesus to reset their faith, habits,
purity, self-image, family or finances, this book will minister to readers of all ages.
It’s time for renewal and it’s time for a reset in this generation.
AUTHOR BIO
NICK HALL’s passion is to “awaken culture to the reality of Jesus,” and as a voice for the
next generation, he focuses his energy on evangelism, discipleship, leadership training,
and student-led prayer. Nick has shared the gospel at hundreds of events to millions of
students and has received hands-on training from some of the most influential Christian
leaders of our day.

How to Move from Activity for God to Intimacy with God
Greg L. Hawkins; Foreword by Max Lucado
SUMMARY
“Isn’t there more to life than this?” Author Greg Hawkins answers this
commonly heard question with a resounding “Yes!” and offers a clear
vision and strategy for a life of intimacy with God and others.
The Bible teaches that “the good life” is one lived in close relationship with God and
those around us. Tragically, most of us settle for far less, unaware of what is possible or
how to change. The result is a pervasive sense of questioning, asking “Isn’t there more to
life than what I’m living?” With a blend of statistics, stories, Bible teaching, and biography,
More presents a clear path to the way life is supposed to be, and the steps to get there.
Two things compelled author Greg Hawkins to write this book. First, in surveys and
interviews he heard the longing for “more” from over half a million church attendees in
over a thousand congregations. And second, he wanted to have an answer for his three
growing children as to what this life, and specifically what a relationship with God, is
supposed to look like. This book is personal, born from a desire to tell those he loves
and serves: “Yes, there’s more! In fact, everything is waiting for you.”
AUTHOR BIO
GREG L. HAWKINS is the former executive pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, where
he served alongside Bill Hybels for over 20 years. He currently serves with Max Lucado and
Randy Frazee on the leadership team at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. Greg and
his wife, Lynn, live in the Texas hill country with their three children.
