William Deresiewicz is an essayist, book critic,
and the author of the highly acclaimed A Jane
Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About
Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter
Mel Foster has narrated over 150 audiobooks and
has won several awards. Twice an Audie finalist
for 1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History by Charles
Bracelen Flood and Finding God in Unexpected
Places by Philip Yancey, he won for the latter title.
From William Deresiewicz, author of the highly acclaimed A Jane
Austen Education, comes a groundbreaking manifesto for people
searching for the kind of insight on leading, thinking, and living
that elite schools should be-but aren't-providing.
As a professor at Yale, William Deresiewicz saw something that
troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation's brightest
minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think
critically and creatively, and how to find a sense of purpose.
Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor
belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect
grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw
firsthand as a member of Yale's admissions committee. As schools
shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like
economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to
think in innovative ways. Deresiewicz explains how college should
be a time for self-discovery, when students can establish their own
values and measures of success, so they can forge their own path.
He addresses parents, students, educators, and anyone who's
interested in the direction of American society, featuring quotes
from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over
the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and
clearly presenting solutions.
Praise:
"An urgent summons to a long-overdue debate over what universities do and how they do it." -Booklist Starred Review

In the course of his fifty-five-year career with NBC
News, Jay Barbree is the only reporter to have
covered all 166 American astronaut flights and
moon landings. He received an Emmy Award for
his coverage of the first walk on the moon, broke
the cause of the Challenger accident, and still
covers space for NBC.
New York Times bestselling author and longtime space reporter Jay
Barbree presents the definitive biography of Neil Armstrong.
Much has been written about Neil Armstrong, America's modern
hero and history's most famous space traveler. Yet shy of fame
and never one to steal the spotlight, Armstrong was always
reluctant to discuss his personal side of events. Here for the first
time is the definitive story of Neil's life of flight he shared for five
decades with a trusted friend-Jay Barbree.
Barbree writes about Neil's three passions-flight, family, and
friends. This is the inside story of Neil Armstrong from the time he
flew combat missions in the Korean War, to when he saved his
Gemini 8 by flying the first emergency return from Earth orbit, to
when he flew Apollo 11 to the moon's Sea of Tranquility. Through
his friendship with Neil and his dedicated research, Barbree brings
us the most accurate account of his friend's life, the book he and
the famed astronaut planned together for twenty years.
Michael Prichard is a professional narrator and
stage and film actor who has played several
thousand characters during his career. An Audie
Award winner, he has recorded well over five
hundred books and has earned several AudioFile
Earphones Awards. Michael was also named a Top
Ten Golden Voice by SmartMoney magazine.
Praise:
"Michael Prichard is his usual solid self, not adding false emotion to a story that is filled with excitement. At the same

journalist, and award-winning author. Her first
book, The Sexual Paradox, won the American
Psychological Association's most prestigious
literary prize, the William James Book Award, and

uses her innate curiosity, talent, and decades of
experience on stage and in the recording studio
to bring books to life.
Praise:
Also by the author:
In her surprising, entertaining and persuasive new book, awardwinning author and psychologist Susan Pinker shows how face-toface contact is crucial for learning, happiness, resilience, and
longevity.
From birth to death, human beings are hard-wired to connect to
other human beings. Face to face contact matters: tight bonds of
friendship and love heal us, help children learn, extend our lives,
and make us happy. Looser in-person bonds matter, too,
combining with our close relationships to form a personal "village"
around us, one that exerts unique effects. And not just any social
networks will do: we need the real, face-to-face, in-the-flesh
encounters that tie human families, groups of friends and
communities together.
Marrying the findings of the new field of social neuroscience
together with gripping human stories, Susan Pinker explores the
impact of face-to-face contact from cradle to grave, from city to
Sardinian mountain village, from classroom to workplace, from love
to marriage to divorce. Her results are enlightening and enlivening,
and they challenge our assumptions. Most of us have left the literal
village behind, and don't want to give up our new technologies to
go back there. But, as Pinker writes so compellingly, we need close
social bonds and uninterrupted face-time with our friends and
families in order to thrive-even to survive. Creating our own "village
effect" can make us happier. It can also save our lives.

Judy Melinek, M. D., is a forensic pathologist and
an associate clinical professor at UCSF Medical
Center. She lives in San Francisco with her family.
T.J. Mitchell graduated with an English degree
from Harvard and worked in the film industry
before becoming a full-time stay-at-home dad in
2000.
The fearless memoir of a young forensic pathologist's "rookie
season" as a NYC medical examiner, and the cases-hair-raising and
heartbreaking and impossibly complex-that shaped her as both a
physician and a mother.
Just two months before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Dr. Judy
Melinek began her training as a New York City forensic pathologist.
With her husband T.J. and their toddler Daniel holding down the
home front, Judy threw herself into the fascinating world of death
investigation-performing autopsies, investigating death scenes, and
counseling grieving relatives.
Lively, action-packed, and loaded with mordant wit, Working Stiff
offers a firsthand account of daily life in one of America's most
arduous professions. The body never lies-and through the murders,
accidents, and suicides that land on her table, Dr. Melinek lays bare
the truth behind the glamorized depictions of autopsy work to
reveal the secret story of the real morgue.
Tanya Eby is an Audie-nominated narrator.
AudioFile magazine says, "Listening to Tanya Eby
is like listening to a full-cast recording." Besides
narrating, Tanya blogs and works on her own
novels. She has published four novels and is at
work on her fifth.

"Far from the magic we see on TV, Working Stiff describes forensic pathology in the real world. The book is a compelling
and absorbing read." -Kathy Reichs, author of the Temperance Brennan 'Bones' series
"Armchair detectives and would-be forensic pathologists will find Melinek's well-written account to be inspiring and
engaging." -Publishers Weekly

Pulitzer Prize finalist John Shiffman presents the rare and intimate
narrative of a daring national security sting designed to protect
U.S. soldiers, sailors, and pilots from the greatest danger they face
on the battlefield-an enemy equipped with American-made
weapons and technology.
In Operation Shakespeare, investigative journalist John Shiffman
traces a high-risk undercover operation launched by an elite
undercover Homeland Security unit created to stop the Iranians,
Russians, Chinese, Pakistanis, and North Koreans from acquiring
sophisticated American-made electronics capable of guiding
missiles, jamming radar, and triggering countless weapons-from
wireless IEDs to nuclear bombs. The U.S. agents must outwit not
only enemy brokers but also American manufacturers and global
bankers who are too willing to put profit over national security.
The three-year sting climaxes when the U.S. agents lure the Iranian
broker to a former Soviet republic with the promise of Americanmade radar, fighter-jet, and missile components, then secretly drag
him back to the United States, where he is held in secret for two
years. The laptop the Iranian carries into the sting provides the CIA
with a virtual road map to Tehran's clandestine effort to obtain U.S.
military technology.

The author of Reading the OED presents an eye-opening look at
language "mistakes" and how they came to be accepted as
correct-or not.
English is a glorious mess of a language, cobbled together from a
wide variety of sources and syntaxes, and changing over time with
popular usage. Many of the words and usages we embrace as
standard and correct today were at first considered slang, impolite,
or just plain wrong.
Whether you consider yourself a stickler, a nitpicker, or a rulebreaker in the know, Bad English is sure to enlighten, enrage, and
perhaps even inspire. Filled with historic and contemporary
examples, the book chronicles the long and entertaining history of
language mistakes, and features some of our most common words
and phrases, including decimate, hopefully, enormity, that/which,
enervate/energize, bemuse/amuse, literally/figuratively, ain't,
irregardless, socialist, OMG, and stupider.
Lively, funny, and surprising, this is a book that will settle
arguments among word lovers-and it's sure to start a few, too.

In this highly anticipated biography, historian Adrian Goldsworthy
captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private
struggles of Ceasar Augustus, whose epic life continues to
influence western history.
Caesar Augustus' story, one of the most riveting in western history,
is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and
unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only
claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark
Antony dubbed him "a boy who owes everything to a name," but in
the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more
experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC.
Over the next half century he reinvented himself as a servant of
the state who gave Rome peace and stability, and created a new
system of government-the Principate or rule of an emperor.
Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate
manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and
ruthless. Under Augustus' rule the empire prospered, yet his
success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with
exciting unpredictability.

Adrian lives in South Wales.
Adrian Goldsworthy presents his most compelling and detailed
work to date: the life of Julius Caesar from his his early years in
politics to his untimely assassination.
Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor's
life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's
accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and
powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately,
Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and
shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate
some two thousand years later.
In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as a
military leader, as well as his other roles, and places his subject
firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C.

All God's Dangers, which won the National Book Award in 1975, still
rings true 40 years later.
Nate Shaw's father was born under slavery. Nate Shaw was born into
a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine, he was
picking cotton for thirty-five cents an hour. At the age of fortyseven, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to
confiscate a neighbor's crop. His defiance cost him twelve years in
prison.

College of Charleston, and currently resides in
South Carolina.
This triumphant autobiography, All God's Dangers, assembled from

changes in the lives of Southern black people-and whose
unassuming courage helped bring those changes about.

Bios:
Karen Le Billon, a professor at the University of
British Columbia, was named one of Canada's
Top 40 Under 40 in 2011. A Rhodes Scholar with
a PhD from Oxford University, she has published
five academic books and Getting to Yum, a guide
and cookbook on taste training for kids. She and
her family divide their time between Canada and
France.
An award-winning storyteller and a graduate of
Johns Hopkins University, Cris Dukehart has
narrated books in a plethora of genres, from
romance, science fiction, and young adult to
children's literature and autobiography. Her voice,
with an endearing mix of sweetness and pluck,
can be heard around the world and across the
Web in commercials, e-learning projects, and
corporate narrations.
At once a memoir, a cookbook, a how-to guide, and a delightful
exploration of how the French manage to feed children without
endless battles and struggles with pickiness, French Kids Eat
Everything features recipes, practical tips, and ten easy-to-follow
rules for raising happy and healthy young eaters.
When she moved her young family to her husband's hometown in
northern France, Karen Le Billon expected some cultural
adjustment. But she didn't expect to be lectured for slipping her
fussing toddler a snack, or to be forbidden from packing her older
daughter a school lunch. Karen is intrigued by the fact that French
children happily eat everything-from beets to broccoli, from salad to
spinach-while French obesity rates are a fraction of what they are in
North America.
Karen soon begins to see the wisdom in the "food rules" that the
French use to foster healthy eating habits and good manners in
babies and children. Some of the rules call into question both our
eating habits and our parenting styles. Other rules evoke
commonsense habits that we used to share but have somehow
forgotten.
Combining personal anecdotes with practical tips and appetizing
recipes, French Kids Eat Everything is a humorous, provocative look at
families, food, and children that is filled with inspiration and advice
that every parent can use.
Praise:
"This book is a must-read for teachers and parents." -Marion Nestle
"Part cultural study, memoir, and children's food guide, Le Billon's book is a breezy but practical volume for hurried
parents looking to keep their kids well-fed." -Publishers Weekly

Bios:
After a stint in the Marine Corps, Dan Emmett
joined the United States Secret Service, serving
on the elite Counter Assault Team before being
selected for the most coveted of all assignments
in the Secret Service, the Presidential Protective
Division. After 21 years as an agent, Emmett
retired from the Secret Service and joined the CIA

Government.
A rare inside look at the Secret Service from an agent who
provided protection worldwide for President George H. W. Bush,
President William Clinton, and President George W. Bush.
Dan Emmett was just eight years old when President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated. The events surrounding the President's
death shaped the course of young Emmett's life as he set a goal of
becoming a US Secret Service agent-one of a special group of
people willing to trade their lives for that of the President, if
necessary.
Within Arm's Length is a revealing and compelling inside look at the
Secret Service and the elite Presidential Protective Division (PPD).
With stories from some of the author's more high-profile
assignments in his twenty-one years of service, Emmett describes
the professional, physical and emotional challenges faced by Secret
Service agents. Included are never before discussed topics such as
the complicated relationship between presidents, first ladies and
their agents, the inner workings of Secret Service protective
operations as well as the seldom-mentioned challenges of the
complex Secret Service cultural issues faced by an agent's family.
Kevin Foley has over thirty years' experience in

misconception that to be successful, they must do everything
themselves. Not only are they the boss, but also the salesperson,
HR manager, copywriter, operations manager, online marketing
guru, and so much more. It's no wonder why so many people give
up the dream of starting a business-it's just too much for one
person to handle.
But outsourcing expert and "Virtual CEO," Chris Ducker knows how
you can get the help you need with resources you can afford. Virtual
Freedom: How to Work with Virtual Staff to Buy More Time, Become More
Productive, and Build Your Dream Business is the step-by-step guide

Bios:
Andrew Newberg, MD, is the director of research at
the Jefferson Myrna Brind Center of Integrative
Medicine and a physician at Jefferson University
Hospital. He is the author or coauthor of several
books, including the bestselling Why God Won't Go
Away.
Mark Robert Waldman is one of the world's
leading experts on communication, spirituality,
and the brain. He is on the faculty at Loyola
Marymount University's College of Business and
the Holmes Institute.
James C. Lewis, an AudioFile Earphones Award
winner, is a voice actor in New York City. His voice
is often heard as a hard-boiled detective, but his
work for Tantor covers a wide range. He has also
worked as a TV weatherman and a political

Both a revelatory work of modern science and a practical guide for
listeners to enhance their physical and emotional health, How God
Changes Your Brain is a first-of-a-kind book about faith that is as
credible as it is inspiring.
God is great-for your mental, physical, and spiritual health. Based
on new evidence culled from brain-scan studies, a wide-reaching
survey of people's religious and spiritual experiences, and the
authors' analyses of adult drawings of God, neuroscientist Andrew
Newberg and therapist Mark Robert Waldman offer the following
breakthrough discoveries:
Not only do prayer and spiritual practice reduce stress, but
just twelve minutes of meditation per day may slow down the
aging process.
Contemplating a loving God rather than a punitive God
reduces anxiety and depression and increases feelings of
security, compassion, and love.
Fundamentalism, in and of itself, can be personally
beneficial, but the prejudice generated by extreme beliefs
can permanently damage your brain.
Intense prayer and meditation permanently change
numerous structures and functions in the brain, altering your
values and the way you perceive reality.

Praise:
"A substantial advance in the self-help/spirituality genre and an excellent choice for general collections." -Library

"How God Changes Your Brain is a highly practical, easy-to-read guide on the interface between spirituality and

Joanne Koenig Coste offers her practical approach to the
emotional well-being of both Alzheimer's patients and their
caregivers.
More than four million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, and as
many as twenty million have close relatives or friends with the
disease. Revolutionizing the way we perceive and live with
Alzheimer's, Joanne Koenig Coste offers a practical approach to the
emotional well-being of both patients and caregivers that
emphasizes relating to patients in their own reality. Her accessible
and comprehensive method, which she calls habilitation, works to
enhance communication between care partners and patients. By
meeting the patients in their own reality, rather than trying to force
them to comply with a world they may no longer inhabit, we are
able to respond in a way that brings satisfaction and even joy to
both patients and caregivers.
Pam Ward has performed in a variety of venues,

Barb Schmidt, the founder of Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life, presents
a daily routine designed to help you manage daily stresses and live
a calmer, more present existence.
We lead busy lives. Lost in a daily routine of to-do lists,
responsibilities, and unplanned emergencies is our happiness and
peace of mind. While we know that we should live in the present, our
minds often take us on a treadmill of regrets about the past and
worries about the future. Stressed and drained of energy, we focus
on outward things that are supposed to make us happy-and we
usually come up empty-handed.
In The Practice, you will learn that a wellspring of inner peace and
happiness exists inside each one of us and that it is easily
accessible with simple techniques that require only minutes a day.
Using timeless wisdom and truths from a variety of religions and
teachings, author Barb Schmidt has structured an easy-toimplement, three-part daily routine that will guide you to deep
happiness, security, and confidence. The Practice fits busy lives
because busy lives need it most.

From well-known UFO experts Kathleen Marden and Denise Stoner
comes a collection of alien encounters that make listeners
question everything they know.
Why would two women separated by thousands of miles share a
common thread involving alien abduction? Both cases are
supported by multiple witnesses and have substantial evidence.
Both women experienced missing time while driving with a
companion, and were later taken from their homes. Both have been
unwilling participants in ongoing experimental procedures that
appear to follow family genetic lines. Both witnesses have given
detailed descriptions of the crafts-interior, technology, medical
procedures, messages from the visitors, and the types of ET they
have encountered, including their society's hierarchical structure.
Even more startling, both have independently described finding
themselves on identical huge craft, within the same time frame.
Denise Stoner has an educational background in
business and psychology, and she is a certified
hypnotist specializing in regressive hypnosis. She
has appeared on many TV and radio shows.
Denise lives in Florida with her family.

Disposable Income is one of the most bizarre tales of sex, greed,
and gruesome murder you will ever hear-a crime classic in the
annals of Pennsylvania history.
In 1948, when elderly Anna Homeyer and her much younger
husband, Charles, decided to sell their home in the Bronx and
move to Pennsylvania, residents of the small town of Factoryville
couldn't understand why. With no family or friends in the area, the
isolated little village seemed an odd choice for strangers to relocate
to. But Factoryville warmly welcomed their new neighbors, who
seemed eager to fit in-at first. Soon, however, the Homeyers'
pleasant disposition began to change. Anna, once highly visible and
engaging, was rarely seen at all anymore, and Charles, who was
always kind and neighborly, became distant and withdrawn. Local
residents were baffled by their behavior.
But their curiosity soon turned to suspicion when Anna Homeyer
suddenly disappeared, leaving the town with a number of
unanswered questions: Why was Charles Homeyer, a married man,
receiving numerous lonely hearts magazines and scores of letters
from unattached women all over the country? Why was he burning
his wife's clothing and selling off her personal belongings? Why did
he leave Factoryville, only to return with his wife's most cherished
possession? Where was Anna? And what was that foul, putrid odor
billowing from the Homeyers' chimney?

a place of her own. Of course, normal in her new life involves a
dragon as a roommate, but she can handle that.
And it's not the only thing.

Praise:
"The concept of home plays a big role in Sagara's newest Chronicles of Elantra installment. Being a fish out of water is
the other theme explored, since a number of new secondary characters are from out of time. Sagara brilliantly weaves
these threads together, developing emotional resonance that intermingles with the unfolding danger." -RT Book

Ruth Downie brings Roman history to life once more in her latest
mystery novel featuring medicus Gaius Petreius Ruso.
Bios:
Then Ruso's recently arrived clerk, Candidus, goes missing. A
native boy thinks he sees a body being hidden inside the wall's
half-finished stonework, and a worrying rumor begins to spread.
When the soldiers ransack the nearby farms looking for Candidus,
Tilla's tentative friendship with a local family turns to anger and
disappointment. It's clear that the sacred rites to bless her
marriage to Ruso will have to wait. Tensions only increase when
Branan, the family's youngest son, also vanishes. He was last seen
in the company of a lone and unidentified soldier who claimed he
was taking the boy to see Tilla.
In 2004, Ruth Downie won the Fay Weldon
section of BBC3's End of Story competition. She is
the author of the highly acclaimed Roman Empire
series.
Simon Vance has recorded over four hundred
audiobooks and has earned over twenty AudioFile
Earphones Awards, including for his narration of
Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini. He is also the
recipient of five coveted Audie Awards, including
one for The King's Speech by Mark Logue and
Peter Conradi, and he was named an AudioFile
Best Voice of 2009.
The medicus Ruso and his wife Tilla are back in the borderlands of
Britannia, this time helping to tend the builders of Hadrian's Great
Wall. Having been forced to move off their land, the Britons are
distinctly on edge and are still smarting from the failure of a recent
rebellion that claimed many lives.
As Ruso and Tilla try to solve the mystery of the two
disappearances-while at the same time struggling to keep the
peace between the Britons and the Romans-an intricate scheme
involving slavery, changed identities, and fur trappers emerges,
and it becomes imperative that Ruso find Branan before it's too
late.
Praise:
"Like the other titles in the series, Downie's latest mixes an engaging story line, provocative characters, and a
satisfying evocation of time and place." -Library Journal

the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has
become an emotion that could destroy her-could destroy them all.
Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means
betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any

impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around

ensure the survival of their friends...and mankind.

Wild West Boys series, and the Wild Ride stories.
Scarlet Chase is a much sought-after narrator,
having narrated over three hundred books in
every genre. An AudioFile Earphones Awards
winner, she has also been nominated for the
prestigious Audie Award.
In the sixth installment of the Blacktop Cowboys series, Liberty
serves as country star Devin's bodyguard and a passionate
romance ignites. But when the tour is over, will their love survive?
Country music star Devin McClain understands there's a downside to
life in the public eye, but the laid-back Wyoming cowboy has never
imagined he'd attract crazed fans who would do anything to garner
his attention. When veiled threats become real, he agrees to hire a
discreet security detail. But Devin is shocked when that bodyguard
is a hard-bodied woman. He's even more stunned to be attracted to
the steely-eyed stunner.
Former soldier Liberty Masterson's return to civilian life has been
wrought with challenges until she lands a job with a prestigious
security firm. But when she agrees to provide personal protection
during a cross-country tour, she doesn't realize she has signed up
to masquerade as the playboy star's girlfriend. Though she's more
comfortable in combat boots than high heels, she has no choice but
to appear to be the sexy groupie Devin prefers.
Living in close quarters causes the chemistry between them to
ignite, and Devin realizes he wants to turn their charade of a
romance into reality. Although Liberty surrenders to his every whim
behind closed doors, she fears the sexy country star doesn't see
the real her. Devin can't help but worry when the tour ends that
there might not be enough between them to build something that
won't fade away...

As King Robert the Bruce of Scotland plots to retake his English

the Highland Guard. Fearless and indomitable, no men are more
loyal to their king, or cherished by the women they love.
The talents of legendary marksman Gregor "Arrow" MacGregor are
crucial now, as Bruce moves to reclaim his Scottish holdings. Gregor
is considered the most handsome man in Scotland, and his fame
as an archer is rivaled only by his reputation with the lasses as a
heartbreaker. But when his infamous face is exposed during a
covert mission, Gregor is forced to lay low. He returns home only to
find a new battle waiting: a daring game of seduction involving his
now very grown-up and very desirable ward, Cate of Lochmaben.
A born fighter, Cate was clinging to life when Gregor rescued her
after a vicious English raid on her village left her mother dead. But
five years later, the once scrappy orphan Gregor took under his
protection has become a woman. Brave, strong, and skilled in
warfare, Cate is determined to lay claim to the warrior who refuses
to be trapped. The heat in his eyes tells her she has his
attention...and his desire. But will Gregor allow his heart to
surrender before danger finds them, and the truth of Cate's identity
is revealed?

he walked out on twenty years ago. But with the bank pounding on
her door and Jack's presence reminding her of the passion they
once shared, Caroline's resolve begins to crumble. As Daisy's

Elizabeth Gaffney is the author of the critically
acclaimed novel Metropolis. Her stories have
appeared in literary magazines such as the
Virginia Quarterly Review and the North American
Review, and she has been a resident artist at
Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, and the Blue
Mountain Center. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Caitlin Davies is a New York City-based actress
and voice artist. As a narrator, she is best known
for the popular House of Night series by P. C.
Cast and Kristin Cast and the Penryn & the End of
Days series by Susan Ee.
From Elizabeth Gaffney, the acclaimed author of Metropolis, comes
an immersive, beautifully realized novel about the truths that
divide and the love that keeps us together.
Wally Baker is no ordinary girl. Living in her grandparents' Brooklyn
Heights brownstone, she doesn't like dresses, needlepoint, or
manners. Her love of Wonder Woman comics and ants makes her
feel like a misfit-especially in the shadow of her dazzling but
unstable mother, Stella.
Acclaimed author Elizabeth Gaffney's irresistible novel captures
postwar Brooklyn through Wally's eyes, opening on V-J day, as she
grows up with the rest of America. Reeling from her own unexpected
wartime tragedy and navigating an increasingly fraught landscape,
Wally is forced to confront painful truths about the world-its sorrows,
its prejudices, its conflicts, its limitations. But Wally also finds hope
and strength in the unlikeliest places.
With an unforgettable cast of characters, including the increasingly
distant and distracted Stella; Loretta, the family's black maid and
Wally's second mother; Ham, Loretta's son, who shares Wally's
enthusiasm for ants and exploration; Rudy, Wally's father, a naval
officer, away serving in the Pacific; and Mr. Niederman, the family's
boarder, who never seems to answer Wally's questions-and who she
suspects may have something to hide-Elizabeth Gaffney crafts an
immersive, beautifully realized novel about the truths that divide
and the love that keeps us together.

both her heart and her future at risk.
Catherine Blade's uncommon beauty and daring have taken her far
in the world, but she still doesn't have the freedom to live life as
she chooses. Finally given the chance to earn her independence,
who should be standing in her way but the only man she's ever
loved-the only person to ever betray her.
Despite the scars Catherine left him, Captain Leighton Atwood has
never been able to forget the mysterious girl who once so
thoroughly captivated him. When she unexpectedly reappears in his
life, he refuses to get close to her. But he cannot deny the yearning
she reignites in his heart.
Their reunion, however, plunges them into a web of espionage,
treachery, and deadly foes. With everything at stake, Leighton and
Catherine are forced to work together to find a way out. If they are
ever to find safety and happiness, they must first forgive and learn
to trust each other again.

Three best friends are the most eligible ladies in London. But Lady
Aimee Wentworth only has eyes for the handsome sailor who
captured her heart long ago...
Lady Aimee Wentworth is desperate and willing to do anything to
recapture the stormy and passionate moment she and Reece
Hamilton shared. For years, she has loved her brother's best friend,
but now that Reece has noticed her, she has a new hurdle to
overcome-her dreaded status as a lady. Aimee refuses to accept
Reece's decree for her to find a nobleman fitting her rank and is
willing to do anything-including accepting the consequences of
tricking her best friends, stowing away on Reece's ship, and facing
his rage-to make him her very own.
As the untitled second son of a lord, Reece Hamilton had long ago
accepted his station and believed his love for the sea would provide
everything he desired out of life. That was until one Christmas he
came home and met his best friend's baby sister-all grown up. Now,
a sensuous blonde green-eyed beauty, she inflamed his baser
desires with just a mere look.
When he discovers Aimee on board, mayhem ensues as he is now
compelled to marry the arresting beauty who suddenly refuses to
accept his proposal! Whisked into a thickening plot of mystery,
Reece and Aimee learn that their love is like the sea-stormy,
untamed, and destined to be theirs.

In this family comedy by Liane Moriarty, we follow the three Kettle
sisters through their tumultuous thirty-third year as they deal with
sibling rivalry and secrets, revelations and relationships, unfaithful
husbands and unthinkable decisions, and the fabulous, frustrating
life of forever being part of a trio.
Lyn, Cat, and Gemma Kettle, beautiful thirty-three-year-old triplets,
seem to attract attention everywhere they go. Whenever they're
together, laughter, drama, and mayhem seem to follow. But apart,
each is very much her own woman, dealing with her own share of
ups and downs.
Lyn has organized her life into one big checklist, juggling the many
balls of work, marriage, and motherhood with expert precision, but
is she as together as her datebook would have her seem? Cat has
just learned a startling secret about her marriage-can she bring
another life into her very precarious world? And can free-spirited
Gemma, who bolts every time a relationship hits the six-month
mark, ever hope to find lasting love?
In this wise, witty, hilarious new novel, we follow the Kettle sisters
through their thirty-third-year, as they struggle to survive their
divorced parents' dating each other, their technologically savvy
grandmother, a cheating husband, champagne hangovers, and the
fabulous, frustrating life of forever being part of a threesome.

Daisy McCrae's life is in tatters. She's lost her job, broken up with
her boyfriend, and has been reduced to living in the attic above her
family's store, the Union Street Bakery, while learning the business.
Making things worse is the constant feeling of not being a "real"
McCrae since she was adopted as a child and has a less-thanperfect relationship with her two sisters.
Then a long-standing elderly customer passes away, and for some
reason bequeaths Daisy a journal dating back to the 1850s, written
by a slave girl named Susie. As she reads, Daisy learns more about
her family-and her own heritage-than she ever dreamed. Haunted
by dreams of the young Susie, she is compelled to look further into
the past of the town and her family.

Gunnar Rutledge will stop at nothing to claim what he is due...
Bios:
For Gunnar, vengeance is all that matters. He seeks the ultimate
price from his enemy's beautiful young daughter, but the proud
beauty defies him at every turn, tempting him like no other. Setting
out to break Raina's glorious spirit, Gunnar instead finds himself
bewitched by her goodness, her strength. Can he seize the justice
he is due without losing Raina forever?
Lara Adrian is the author of the New York Times
bestselling Midnight Breed series of vampire
romance novels.
Taken captive by Gunnar Rutledge, a dark knight sworn to destroy
her father, Raina d'Bussy must teach forgiveness to a man who

time in Gunnar's keep stirs an unwanted passion in Raina, and
something far more perilous, when she finds herself falling in love
with the one man she should never desire.

Julia Foster, the governess of Highland Hall, may find that the
class divide between her and master of the estate William Ramsey
is too wide for their love to survive, in this first book of Carrie
Turansky's Edwardian Brides series.
Missionary Julia Foster loves working alongside her parents, but
when the family must return to England due to illness, she readily
accepts the burden for her parents' financial support. Taking on a
job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly finds that teaching
her four ill-mannered charges at a grand estate is more challenging
than expected.
Widowed and left to care for his two young children and his
deceased cousin's two teenage girls, William Ramsey is consumed
with saving the estate from the financial ruin. The last thing he
needs is any distraction coming from the kindhearted-yetdetermined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his
household with her persuasive personality.
Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their
families-common ground that proves fertile for unexpected
feelings. But will William choose Julia's steadfast heart and faith
over the wealth and power he needs to secure Highland Hall's
future?

When Viveca, an African-American doctor, arrives in Grayson
Grove as the town's new doctor, she and handsome mayor Nate
immediately develop a connection neither was expecting.
It's 1876 and Dr. Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed
upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to
set up a practice in the small all Black community of Grayson Grove,
Michigan she leaves her California home and heads east. The very
determined Viveca is one of the few nineteenth century Black
women to graduate from the prestigious Woman's Medical College
of Pennsylvania, so she knows all about fighting for her rights. But
she may need more than determination to face down the
distractingly handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed
mayor.
Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to
be a man. Of course he does. But when the lovely dark-skinned
Viveca introduces herself, he is at first speechless...then full of
some very loud and very choice words, ordering her back on the
train and out of his town! It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to
be doctors, men are. Nate Grayson is prepared to fight for that
belief.
However, he isn't prepared for this extraordinary beauty's
stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals, then steals
his heart.

After earning a degree in journalism from Ohio

inside her head were more interesting than what
was going on in the world around her. Yet it
wasn't until years later that she decided to pursue
her dream of writing romance. Since then, she
has published romantic suspense, paranormal
romance, and contemporary romance.
From rising romance star Sharon Cullen comes a tale of the fiery
passion between a noble naval officer and a female pirate that's as
tempestuous and as unpredictable as the sea.
Nicholas Addison, celebrated captain of the Blackwell Shipping Fleet,
has agreed to take Mrs. Emmaline Sutherland aboard the Pride and
ferry the raven-haired beauty across the Atlantic on what he
imagines will be a routine trip. But when the ship is attacked by
pirates, the seemingly innocent passenger is revealed to be none
other than the infamous marauder Lady Anne, whose name strikes
fear in the hearts of sailors everywhere-and whose seductive wiles
commandeer Nicholas's affections.
Lady Anne, a legend of the high seas, has spent the last eleven
years plotting revenge against her father, the owner of Blackwell
Shipping. She's targeted the Pride in hopes of plundering its
captain's company secrets. But beneath her fierce courage and
bitter determination, Anne has the delicate heart of a woman-a
heart that cannot help falling for Nicholas. Now Anne must make a
difficult choice: bring down Blackwell or surrender to love.

Windsor Forbes only takes calculated risks in her profession and in

She knew she shouldn't take the chance, especially a second time,

much more to lose. A man like Maverick can't have it all without
