Yet her discovery is only the latest chapter in a dramatic tale that follows the anti-Jewish cantata’s journey through two hundred years of history, from the eighteenth century through the Holocaust and into today, and to the startling truth about her own past. “Brilliant and mesmerizing. . . . Since reading And After the Fire, I’ve been trumpeting it as the best novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading in years.” — Elinor Lipman, author of Then She Found Me. Elizabeth J. Church The Atomic Weight of Love Algonquin Books This debut spans from World War II through the Vietnam War to tell the story of a woman whose ambition is caught up in her relationships with two very different men. Meridian Wallace is determined to get her PhD. But she didn’t expect to fall in love with her brilliant physics professor. What began as an exciting, intellectual partnership devolves into a traditional marriage. Years later, when Meridian meets a Vietnam veteran, she realizes just how much she has given up. “Church follows one extraordinary woman who is brave enough to challenge the times, take defiant wing, and chart her own extraordinary flight path.” — Caroline Leavitt, author of Is This Tomorrow. 2 Ellen Feldman Terrible Virtue Harper Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a woman who shaped the sexual landscape we inhabit today. She fought for social justice, eventually channeling her energy to one single cause: legalizing contraception. From opening the first illegal birth control clinic in America in 1916 through the founding of Planned Parenthood, Sanger sacrificed two husbands, three children, and scores of lovers in her fight for sexual equality and freedom. “Terrible Virtue is captivating, powerful, headlong and inventive, just like its subject. A beautifully wrought, compulsively readable novel.” — Stacy Schiff, author of The Witches: Salem, 1692. Laurie R. King The Murder of Mary Russell Bantam Mary Russell is used to secrets — her own, and those of her famous partner and husband, Sherlock Holmes. Trust is a thing slowly given, but the two have forged an indissoluble bond. In a devastating instant, everything changes. And the most shocking revelation of all is that the clues point directly to their beloved housekeeper, Clara Hudson. A frantic Sherlock Holmes must put aside his anguish and push deep into Clara’s secrets. “King has managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes’ss character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart.” — The Washington Post Book World 3 Nina Sadowsky Just Fall Ballantine Books On her wedding night, Ellie’s perfect world suddenly collapses. Her suave and charming husband is not the man she believed him to be. Could he really be a killer? Ellie is swept into a lethal vortex of betrayal, lies, and uncertainty. Who is the man she married, really? And how far will she go to protect him? Ellie’s decision propels her into a whiplash-paced adventure, filled with twists and a startling sense of unease. “Character-rich and compulsively readable, Just Fall takes the reader on a wild ride through the psyches of two damaged people who hope to find redemption in each other. The writing is lush, the insights sharp. This novel is a winner.” — Diane Keaton, Actor Book & Author Committee Event Co-Chairs ....................................................Paige Paige Button, Deborah Maar Author Selection .....................................................

Angela Ostrowski Katrina Anne Willis Parting Gifts She Writes Press Sisters Catherine, Anne, and Jessica search for love, acceptance, and worth. Catherine is a professor battling breast cancer with Cytoxan, red wine, and profanity. Anne is a wife and stay-at-home mother struggling in an existence that both suffocates and confounds her. Jessica is an exotic dancer who feels safer on stage than in a relationship. But when the sisters are faced with loss, they are forced to reevaluate themselves, their damaged bonds, and their fragile future. “Willis transports me into a moment so I . . . . feel it as if I am there. And when I am lost in one of her stories, I don’t want to come back.” — Rachel Macy Stafford, author of Hands Free Mama. 4 A full set of books may be purchased for $150 prior to the event.
