Bo is running out of time. Yet time is one of the few things he has left. These days, his quiet existence is broken up only by daily visits from his home care team.

Ben Markovits, author of The Rest of Our Lives

When Tom Layward’s wife had an affair 12 years ago, he resolved to leave her as soon as his youngest child left the nest. Now, while driving his college-bound daughter to Pittsburgh, he remembers his promise to himself. He is also on the run from his own health issues and a forced leave from work. So, rather than returning to his wife in Westchester, Tom keeps driving west, with the vague plan of visiting people from his past --- an old college friend, his ex-girlfriend, his brother, his son --- en route, maybe, to California. He’s moving towards a future he hasn’t even envisioned yet while he considers his past and the choices he’s made that have brought him to this particular present.

Allen Levi, author of Theo of Golden

One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why. His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where 92 pencil portraits hang on the walls --- portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.

Belle Burden, author of Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage

In March 2020, Belle Burden was safe and secure with her family at their house on Martha’s Vineyard, navigating the early days of the pandemic together --- building fires in the late afternoons, drinking whiskey sours, making roast chicken. Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband of 20 years announced that he was leaving her. Overnight, her caring, steady partner became a man she hardly recognized. He exited his life with her like an actor shrugging off a costume. In STRANGERS, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for clues that her husband was not who she always thought he was. As she examines her relationship through a new lens, she reckons with her own family history and the lessons she intuited about how a woman is expected to behave in the face of betrayal.

About the Book

An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, BEST OFFER WINS, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success --- and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams?

Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband, Ian --- and, in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track --- Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).

A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged --- but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You’ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.

About the Book

A masterful debut novel following a spirited young woman’s explorations of faith, agency and love in 13th-century Bruges.

Aleys is 16 years old and prone to religious visions. She and her only friend, Finn, have been learning Latin together in secret. But just as she thinks their connection might become something more, everything unravels. When her father promises her in marriage to a merchant she doesn’t love, she runs away from home, finding shelter among the beguines, a fiercely independent community of religious women who refuse to answer to the Church.

Among these hardworking and strong-willed women, Aleys glimpses for the first time the joys of belonging: a life of song, meaning and friendship in the markets and along the canals of Bruges. But forces both mystical and political are at work. Illegal translations of scripture, the women’s independence, and a sudden rash of miracles all draw the attention of an ambitious bishop --- and bring Aleys and those around her into ever-increasing danger, a danger that will push Aleys to a new understanding of love and sacrifice.

Grounded in the little-told stories of medieval women --- mystics, saints, anchoresses and beguines --- and introducing a major new talent, CANTICLE is a luminous work of historical fiction, vividly evoking a world on the verge of transformation.

About the Book

A profound journey through faith, reason and the mysteries of existence.

Born and raised in the heart of America's Bible Belt, Aeternus Costin's upbringing among devout Southern Baptists set the stage for a lifetime of spiritual exploration and philosophical inquiry.

From beginning to question his faith as a youth, to staunch atheism catalyzed by a deepening fascination with science and technology, Costin's voracious appetite for knowledge led him down the rabbit hole of scientific discovery.

Until one day, in a transformative moment during an ordinary drive, everything changed.

A chance encounter with a podcast on philosophy sparked an epiphany that shattered the author’s atheistic convictions. This revelation transcended conventional beliefs and ignited a quest for understanding that would define the next chapter of his life.

THE EYE OF GOD is not just a memoir but a profound treatise on metaphysics and the nature of divinity itself. Through meticulous research and introspection, Costin unveils a startling hypothesis --- that the key to comprehending the universe lies not in religious scripture but in the fundamental laws of nature. Drawing from the wisdom of philosophers ancient and modern, from Aristotle to Stephen Hawking, Costin weaves a compelling narrative that challenges the dichotomy between faith and science.

This book is a testament to the power of intellectual curiosity and the courage to challenge ingrained beliefs. It invites readers on a journey that spans centuries of human thought, offering a fresh perspective on the age-old question: What is the nature of God?

THE EYE OF GOD is a Literary Titan Book Award winner, and a must-read for anyone grappling with questions of faith, science and the ultimate meaning of existence. It promises to provoke, inspire and leave a lasting impression on all who dare to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos.

About the Book

An irresistible modern fairy tale about a British princess who must decide between her duty to her family --- or to her own heart.

It’s New Year’s Day in Australia, and the life Lexi Villiers has carefully built is working out nicely. She’s in the second year of her medical residency, she lives on a beautiful farm with her two best friends, Finn and Jack, and she’s about to finally become more than friendly with Jack --- when a helicopter abruptly lands.

Out steps her grandmother’s right-hand man, with the tragic news that her father and older brother have been killed in a skiing accident. Lexi’s grandmother happens to be the Queen of England, and Lexi must now accept the reality that she is suddenly next in line for the throne --- a role she has publicly disavowed.

Returning to London as the heir apparent Princess Alexandrina, Lexi is greeted by a skeptical public not ready to forgive her defection, a grieving sister-in-law harboring an explosive secret, and a scheming uncle determined to claim the throne himself.

Her recent life --- and Jack --- grow ever more distant as she feels the tug of tradition, of love for her grandmother, and of obligation. When her grandmother grants her one year to decide, Lexi must choose her own destiny: will it be determined by an accident of birth --- or by love?
