About the Book
An evocative drama about a woman caught leading a double life after one husband murders the other, and the true-crime writer who becomes obsessed with telling her story --- this masterful work of literary suspense marks the debut of an extraordinary new writer.
The dance becomes an affair, which becomes a marriage, which becomes a murder...
In 1985, Lore Rivera marries Andres Russo in Mexico City, even though she is already married to Fabian Rivera in Laredo, Texas, and they share twin sons. Through her career as an international banker, Lore splits her time between two countries and two families --- until the truth is revealed and one husband is arrested for murdering the other.
In 2017, while trawling the internet for the latest, most sensational news reports, struggling true-crime writer Cassie Bowman encounters an article detailing that tragic final act. Cassie is immediately enticed by what is not explored: Why would a woman --- a mother --- risk everything for a secret double marriage? Cassie sees an opportunity --- she’ll track Lore down and capture the full picture, the choices, the deceptions that led to disaster. But the more time she spends with Lore, the more Cassie questions the facts surrounding the murder itself. Soon, her determination to uncover the truth could threaten to derail Lore’s now quiet life --- and expose the many secrets both women are hiding.
Told through alternating timelines, MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW is both a gripping mystery and a wrenching family drama. Presenting a window into the hearts of two very different women, it explores the many conflicting demands of marriage and motherhood, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone --- especially those we love.

About the Book
A dazzling novel about a young Black woman who walks the streets of Oakland and stumbles headlong into the failure of its justice system --- the debut of a blazingly original voice that “bursts at the seams of every page and swallows you whole” (Tommy Orange, bestselling author of THERE THERE).
Kiara and her brother, Marcus, are scraping by in an East Oakland apartment complex optimistically called the Regal-Hi. Both have dropped out of high school, their family fractured by death and prison. But while Marcus clings to his dream of rap stardom, Kiara hunts for work to pay their rent --- which has more than doubled --- and to keep the nine-year-old boy next door, abandoned by his mother, safe and fed.
One night, what begins as a drunken misunderstanding with a stranger turns into the job Kiara never imagined wanting but now desperately needs: nightcrawling. Her world breaks open even further when her name surfaces in an investigation that exposes her as a key witness in a massive scandal within the Oakland Police Department.
Rich with raw beauty, electrifying intensity and piercing vulnerability, NIGHTCRAWLING marks the stunning arrival of a voice unlike any we have heard before.

My book group is reading A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN by Betty Smith for this month...or we were reading it for this month. Every night I would see the book on the coffee table in the family room. I had bought it instead of hunting down a copy that I KNOW I have in the attic. Each night it would be staring at me like it had high beams flashing, saying, “Read me,” but there was a lot of “Bookreporter Assigned Reading” on my plate. But, ah, the guilt every time I saw the book sitting there with no pages read.
