THE GIRL WHO WAS TAKEN

Charlie Donlea
Charlie Donlea, one of the most original new voices in suspense, returns with a haunting
novel, laden with twists and high tension, about two abducted girlsone who returns, one
who doesntand the forensics expert searching for answers.
icole Cutty and Megan McDonald are both high school seniors in the small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. When they disappear
from a beach party one warm summer night, police launch a massive search. No clues are found, and hope is almost lost until Megan
miraculously surfaces after escaping from a bunker deep in the woods.
A year later, the bestselling account of her ordeal has turned Megan from local hero to national celebrity. Its a triumphant, inspiring story,
except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing. Nicoles older sister Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon
Nicoles body will be found, and it will be up to someone like Livia to analyze the evidence and finally determine her sisters fate. Instead, the
first clue to Nicoles disappearance comes from another body that shows up in Livias morguethat of a young man connected to Nicoles
past. Livia reaches out to Megan for help, hoping to learn more about the night the two were taken. Others girls have gone missing too, and
Livia is increasingly certain the cases are connected.
But Megan knows more than she revealed in her blockbuster book. Flashes of memory are coming together, pointing to something darker
and more monstrous than her chilling memoir describes. And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror
lies in finding exactly what youve been looking for.

UNDER A SARDINIAN SKY

Sara Alexander

a novel of historical womens fiction depicting a doomed romance
in beautiful, post-World War II Sardinia between a dashing, married
American lieutenant and an engaged-to-another farm girl with
big dreams.
et against the beautiful backdrop of post-World War II Sardinia, Sara Alexanders

evocative novel is a sweeping story of star-crossed romance between an American
lieutenant and a local girl.
Sometimes a familys deepest silences hide the most important secrets. For Mina, a
London-based travel writer, the enigmatic silence surrounding her aunt Carmela has
become a personal obsession. Carmela disappeared from her Italian hometown long ago
and is mentioned only in fragments and whispers. Mina has resisted prying, respectful
of her familys Sardinian reserve. But now, with her mother battling cancer, its time to
learn the truth.
In 1952, Simius is a busy Sardinian town surrounded by fertile farms and orchards. Carmela
Chirigoni, a farmers daughter and talented seamstress, is engaged to Franco, son of the
areas wealthiest family. Everyone agrees its a good match. But Carmelas growing doubts
about Francos possessiveness are magnified when she meets Captain Joe Kavanagh. Joe, an
American officer stationed at a local army base, is charismatic, intelligent, and married.
Hired as his interpreter, Carmela resolves to ignore her feelings, knowing that any future
together must bring upheaval and heartache to both families.
As Mina follows the threads of Carmelas life to uncover her fate, she will discover a past
still deeply alive in the present, revealing a story of hope, sacrifice, and extraordinary love.

BLUE BOY
Rakesh Satyal
In a narrative that is part Jhumpa Lahiri and part David Sedaris,

Rakesh Satyals Lambda Literary Award winning novel, Blue Boy, is at
once moving and laugh-out-loud funny as it challenges stereotypes
about sexuality and first generation Indian American families.
eet Kiran Sharma: lover of music, playing with dolls, choosing ballet over basketball;
son of immigrants, social outcast, spiritual seeker. A boy who doesnt quite understand
his lotuntil he realizes hes a god
As an only son, Kiran has obligationsto excel in his studies, to honor the deities, to find
a nice Indian girl, and, above all, to make his mother and father proudstandard stuff for a
boy of his background. If only Kiran had anything in common with the other Indian kids
besides the color of his skin. Cincinnati in the early 1990s isnt exactly a hotbed of cultural
diversity, and Kirans not-so-well-kept secrets don't endear him to any group. Surrounded by
examples of upstanding Indian Americansin his own home, in his temple, at the weekly
parties given by his parents friendsKiran nevertheless finds it impossible to get the knack
of normalcy. And then one fateful day, a revelation: perhaps his desires arent too earthly,
but too divine. Perhaps the solution to the mystery of his existence has been before him since
birth. For Kiran Sharma, a long, strange trip is about to begina journey so sublime, so
ridiculous, so painfully beautiful, that it can only lead to the truth

BENEATH THE APPLE LEAVES

Harmony Verna
From the author of Daughter of Australia comes a sweeping,

heartfelt historical novel that follows a family of German immigrants
who trade city living for the harsh realities of Pennsylvania farm life.
n 1914, Andrew Houghtons family is one of hundreds eking out an existence in the coal
mines of southwestern Pennsylvania. Though he longs to be a veterinarian, hes fated for
a life underground, picking rock alongside his father.
That destiny changes when his aunt, Eveline Kiser, arranges for her husband to secure
Andrew an apprenticeship on the railroad. Wilhelm Kiser, a German immigrant, has found
his American dream in Pittsburgh, with a well-paying job as a brakeman, and a secure
pension. But on Andrews first day, a hazing incident goes tragically wrong, leaving him
severely injured, his dreams shattered. Wracked with guilt, Wilhelm finally agrees to
his wifes pleas to leave Pittsburghs smog behind. With Andrew in tow, they swap their
three-story row house for a rough-and-tumble farm.
Life in rural Pennsylvania is not as idyllic as Eveline imagined. The soil is slow to yield and
their farmhouse is in disrepair. But there is one piece of beauty in this rugged land. Lily
Morton is quick-witted and tough on the outside, but bears her own secret scars inside.
Andrews bond with her will help steer them through all the challenges to come, even as
anti-German sentiment spreads across America with the outbreak of World War I.

relationship with Raven, the serial killer who collaborated with Phelps on Investigation
Discoverys Dark Minds. With meticulous reporting and intimate detail, true crime master

re-victimizing the families and friends of the eight females he murdered.
As the series aired and the relationship progressed, Phelps and the killer developed an unusual and unlikely friendship. The killer revealed
to Phelps secrets about a body he buried and a victim he was convicted of murdering but claims he did not kill. Woven throughout the main
narrative is an in-depth study of a serial killers mind, his crimes, and why he killed. The killer shares secrets hes held onto for twenty years
regarding the motivations and psychology driving his madness. The publication of this book will be the first time that the identity of Raven
will be made public.
Written in the first person from Phelps point of view, the book includes excerpts of interviews and correspondence between Phelps and
the killer and other documentary materials relating to their relationship. It will be Phelps most personal book to date as well as a unique
narrative of the intriguing and dangerous bond between a journalist and a killer.

THE LIFE SHE WAS GIVEN

Ellen Marie Wiseman
From acclaimed author Ellen Marie Wiseman comes a vivid, daring novel about the
devastating power of family secretsbeginning in the poignant, lurid world of a
Depression-era traveling circus and coming full circle in the transformative 1950s.
n a summer evening in 1931, Lilly Blackwood glimpses circus lights from the grimy window of her attic bedroom. Lilly isnt allowed to
explore the meadows around Blackwood Manor. Shes never even ventured beyond her narrow room. Momma insists its for Lillys
own protection, that people would be afraid if they saw her. But on this unforgettable night, Lilly is taken outside for the first timeand sold
to the circus sideshow.
More than two decades later, nineteen-year-old Julia Blackwood has inherited her parents estate and horse farm. For Julia, home was an
unhappy place full of strict rules and forbidden rooms, and she hopes that returning might erase those painful memories. Instead, she
becomes immersed in a mystery involving a hidden attic room and photos of circus scenes featuring a striking young girl.
At first, The Barlow Brothers Circus is just another prison for Lilly. But in this rag-tag, sometimes brutal world, Lilly discovers strength,
friendship, and a rare affinity for animals. Soon, thanks to elephants Pepper and JoJo and their handler, Cole, Lilly is no longer a sideshow
spectacle but the circus biggest attractionuntil tragedy and cruelty collide. It will fall to Julia to learn the truth about Lillys fate and her
familys shocking betrayal, and find a way to make Blackwood Manor into a place of healing at last.
Moving between Julia and Lillys stories, Ellen Marie Wiseman portrays two extraordinary, very different women in a novel that, while tender
and heartbreaking, offers moments of joy and indomitable hope.

THE HIGH STAKES SERIES
Simona Ahrnstedt
A gripping, glittering novel of scandal and suspense that ranges from Sweden to New York
City to Africa, from the bestselling author of All In
lexander de la Grip is known in the tabloids and gossip blogs as a rich, decadent, jet-setting playboy who spends most of his days
recovering from the night before. With a string of beautiful conquests, he seems to care about nothing and no one.
Isobel Srensen has treated patients in refugee camps and war zones, and is about to depart Sweden for a pediatric hospital in Chad. Devoted
to her humanitarian work, she cares almost too deeply. Especially when she learns that Alexander is withholding desperately needed funds
from her aid foundation.
Is it because shes the only woman who ever told him to go to hell?
As the two push each others boundaries to the breaking point, the truth turns out to be much more complicated. Pain, love, trust, betrayal.
Which will triumph when safety is nothing but an empty word?

eight miles run every day, without fail, for more than forty yearsThis is the true story of a
real-life Forrest Gump and the lives he has touched. People from 50 states and 85
countries have joined his runs, which have been featured on ESPN, in The Wall Street
Journal, on NPR, and in other media.
n 1975 Robert Raven Kraft, a high school dropout and aspiring songwriter, made a New Years Resolution to run eight miles on Miamis
South Beach each evening. Over 125,000 miles later, he has not missed one sunset.
Along the way, Raven has changed the lives of thousands who have run with himmany of them hundreds of times. From all fifty states and
dozens of countries, across all age groups and backgrounds, they come to run with Raven, and in the process find friendship, inspiration
and a nickname.
Among them is author Laura Lee White Lightning Huttenbach, who has logged over a thousand miles of Raven Runs. Here she explores
the stories of dozens of others about why they started running with Ravenand why they keep coming back. Taxman, an accountant in his
mid-60s, has done 1800+ runs. Dizzy, a middle school principal from Cuba, met his wife and his best friend on Raven Runs. Butcher, an
ex-convict, credits Raven with saving his life. In an uncertain world Raven shows up, no matter what.
Quirky and appealing, tenacious and magnetic, Raven is a legend of the running world. As he says, I may be the only thing that hasnt
changed around here in the last forty years. Laura Lee Huttenbach reveals how one mans daily ritual has blossomed into an uncanny gift
for weaving people togetherand an invaluable reminder that the journey means little without the connections forged along the way.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR RUNNING WITH RAVEN
A powerful and endearing story. I have met many runners over the years, but Raven left an indelible impression upon me, as he has countless
others. Never has eight miles a day had such a profound and far-reaching impact upon so many people, myself included. Raven, long may you
run.Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner and New York Times bestselling author
In Huttenbachs page-turning style, Ravenand the city and the characters that frame his decades of runningbecome a fascinating tale.
Running With Raven is ultimately an inspiring tale of unbreakable discipline and one-of-a-kind endurance.
Gerald Posner, author of Miami Babylon: Crime, Wealth, and Powera Dispatch from the Beach (Simon and Schuster, 2009)
Laura Lee Huttenbach, a graduate of the University of Virginia, has been a serious athlete since her older brothers taught her how to slide

Timothy Leary was one of the most famous countercultural icons of the 1960s. In 1957,
the Harvard psychologist experienced a profound transcendent experience while taking
hallucinogens in Mexico. No longer content with his work in personality assessment, Leary
began advocating the psychotherapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD.
Ralph Metzner is a professor of psychology at the California Institute for Integral Studies
and president of the Green Earth Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
reconnecting humans and the environment. He is also well known for his decades of
research and writing on the subjects of consciousness, psychedelics, the practice of yoga,
meditation and shamanism.
Richard Alpert, also known as Ram Dass, is a former professor who conducted
controversial LSD experiments with Timothy Leary at Harvard and Millbrook. He eventually
made a philosophical split from Leary and traveled to India to study Hinduism and yoga.
This transformational experience led him to write the classic spiritual text Be Here Now,
which is currently in its 37th printing and has sold over one million copies. Having founded
a number of spiritual organizations that promote personal growth, the importance of serving
others, and unity among different religious traditions, Ram Dass is considered one of the
most important spiritual teachers of the 20th century.
