about linking the past to the present, a grandmothers secret past life, a familys love for
one another above all else, forgiveness, healing through cooking together, desserts,
the mountains and rivers of Montana, and daring to love a husband again
wo years ago, Olivia Martindale left behind her Montana hometown and her husband, Jace, certain it was the best decision for both of
them. Back temporarily to protect her almost-adopted daughters from their biological mother, she discovers an old, handwritten
cookbook in the attic. Its pages are stained and torn, their edges scorched by flame. Some have been smeared by water or tears. The
recipes are written in different hands and in different languages. In between the pages are intriguing mementos, including a feather, a
pressed rose, a charm, and unfamiliar photographs.
Hoping the recipes will offer a window into her grandmothers closely guarded past, Olivia decides to make each dish, along with their
favorite family cake recipes, and records her attempts. The result, like much of her life to date, involves a parade of near-disasters and
chaotic appearances by her doctor mother, her blunt grandma, her short-tempered sister, and Olivias two hilarious daughters. The project
is messy, realand an unintended hit with viewers.
Even more surprising is the family history Olivia is uncovering, and her own reemerging ties to Montana, and to Jace. Generations of women
have shared these recipes, offering strength and nourishment to each other and their loved ones. Now its Olivias turn to find healingand
determine where her home and her heart truly belong.

To help the local police find the actual killer, Cassie begins her own investigation. But no
one, from Georges housekeeper to his vindictive ex-wife, is giving up clues. Not until Cassie
is given permission to temporarily board Harpo does anyone show interest in the Persians

needs to tread lightly and remember she gets one life, not nine.

herself newly single and rebelling against everything she has known
in order to learn who she really is and mend her relationships.

skipped town with another mans wife. On the day Posy discovers her husbands betrayal,

accounts and taken money he shouldve been using to pay bills. To make matters worse, the

UNDER WATER
A DUCK DARLEY NOVEL
Casey Barrett
Olympic swimmer Casey Barrett writes what he knows in his debut

mystery about a former competitive swimmer turned investigator
searching for the missing sister of his former teammate. From the
expensive penthouses of the Upper East Side to the drug-addled
studios of the East Village, secrets and murder lurk just beneath
the surface of New York City and its inhabitants.
uck Darley should have been a winner. Once a competitive swimmer destined for
Olympic gold, he drank away his gilded youth and followed his fraudster fathers
footsteps into prison. Barely scraping by as an unlicensed private investigator, Duck now
chases down cheating spouses for the same Manhattan elite who once viewed him as an
equal, and drowning bitter memories with whatever fills his glass.
Ducks lost glory days resurface when hes tasked with finding the teenaged sister of a
former teammate turned Olympic champion. Privileged Madeline McKay vanished over
Labor Day weekend, leaving behind a too-perfect West Village apartment and a promising
athletic career of her own. Duck thinks hes hunting for a self-destructive runawayuntil
Madelines film student ex is savagely murdered, and the media spins her as the psycho
who killed him.
As Duck searches for Madeline, hes plunged back into the dark underbelly of Olympic
swimminga world rife with wild lies and terrible violence. And he soon learns that no
matter how hard he tries to escape his past, demons still lurk beneath every surface
KEY SELLING POINTS:
Darker, harder-edged mysteries with flawed protagonists have been gaining
in popularity since Gone Girl broke the mold. Duck Darley is an investigator
with a drinking problem, but his addiction is portrayed in such a realistic
manner that readers will sympathize with him.

Galbraith, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Ace Atkins, John Lutz, and
Robert Parker.
The author brings his experience and expertise to the world of competitive
swimming, exposing the underlying grit and deceit in the sports world.
Like Lehanes Boston, Barrett makes New York City as much of a character
as a setting.
First in a 3-book contract, publishing yearly.
Casey Barrett is a Canadian Olympian and the co-founder and co-CEO of Imagine
Swimming, New York Citys largest learn-to-swim school. He has won three Emmy awards
and one Peabody award for his work on NBCs broadcasts of the Olympic Games in 2000,

Kim Michele Richardson brings five decades of the South to vivid, haunting life, weaving an emotionally resonant tale of secrets, regret,
and absolution that held me spellbound. Her prose is simultaneously beautifully polished and emotionally raw, and so powerful I was
knocked to the mat by a single sentence again and again. I am evangelical about this bookyou simply have to read it.
Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Like Water for Elephants on The Sisters of Glass Ferry
Filled with the music of Appalachia, the wrath-of-God discipline of a sinner trying to keep a youngster on the straight and narrow, and the
bred-in-the-bone dignity of a downtrodden community so secluded that its barefoot children dont even realize theyre considered poor,
GodPretty in the Tobacco Field, a memorable story of secrets and scandal, reckoning and redemption, is fine Southern fiction.
Historical Novels Review
Youll hear echoes of To Kill A Mockingbird in this haunting coming-of-age story, in which old and more recent tragedies collide.
Beautifully written, atmospheric and intricately plotted.Susan Wiggs, # 1 New York Times bestselling author on Liars Bench
Liars Bench succeeds on many levels. As a coming-of-age story, it is splendidly realized and uplifting. As a portrait of a Southern community
painfully stumbling into the age of racial and gender equality, it is penetrating and convincing.The Southern Literary Review

SEVEN PERCENT
THE NINE SECRETS OF THE WORLDS HAPPIEST COUPLES
Gregory K. Popcak
Now updated and repackaged, The Exceptional Seven Percent

has been inspiring readers since its first publication in 2000 with
its advice and insights on what makes a relationship successful.
WHAT DO EXCEPTIONAL COUPLES KNOW THAT OTHERS DONT?

If roughly fifty percent of marriages fail, what about the other fifty percentthe ones that
succeed? Are those couples who stay together necessarily happy?
No, not necessarily. In fact, many marriages that remain intact are far less than ideal. A mere
seven percent are really goodin fact, exceptional. These couples have much greater
than the average passion, happiness, longevity, and fulfillment. And the good news is, luck
has nothing to do with it. But what are the secrets of exceptional couplesand what can they
teach us?
Marriage therapist Gregory K. Popcak believes that ways of relating employed by exceptional
couples can benefit all marriages. In The Exceptional Seven Percent, he looks at the most
successful couples and exposes their secrets.
Through anecdotes, analyses, exercises, quizzes, and guidance that is consistently supported
by marriage research, youll learn what your weaknesses are and how you can begin to make
positive changes. You have the power to turn your marriage into the most precious thing in
your life. Why settle for anything less?

ICED IN
TEN DAYS TRAPPED ON THE EDGE OF ANTARCTICA
Chris Turney
The true story of a scientist, who set out on an Antarctic exploration

with his wife and adolescent children to study the effects of climate
change on the polar ice caps. It turned into a fight for survival and a
worldwide media sensation that would change all of their lives.
n Christmas Eve 2013, off the coast of East Antarctica, an abrupt weather change
trapped the ship carrying earth scientist Chris Turney and seventy-one others involved
in the Australasian Antarctic Expedition in a densely packed armada of sea ice, 1400 miles
from civilization. With the ships hull breached and steerage lost, the wind threatened to
drive the vessel into the frozen continent, smashing it to pieces. If nearby floating icebergs
picked up speed, they could cause a devastating collision. The forecast offered no reliefa
blizzard was headed their way.
As Turney chronicles his modern-day ordeal, he revisits famed polar explorer Ernest
Shackletons harrowing Antarctic expedition almost a century prior. His ship, Endurance,
was trapped and ultimately lost to the ice, forcing Shackleton and his men to fight for survival
on a vast and treacherous icescape for two years. But for Turney the stakes were even
higherfor unlike Shackleton, he had his wife and children with him.

A taut 21st-century survival story, Iced In is also a homage to Shackleton, Mawson, and
other scientific explorers who embody the human spirit of adventure, joy in discovery, and
will to live.

SAVING SADIE
HOW A DOG THAT NO ONE WANTED INSPIRED THE WORLD
Joal Derse Dauer with Elizabeth Ridley
Saving Sadie is an inspirational true story of one dogs triumph

over terrible odds that will appeal to readers of Marley & Me by
John Grogan and Oogy by Larry Levin.
oal Derse Dauer was just donating blankets at a local no-kill shelter when a disaled and despondent dog caught her eye. With three
fur babies already at home, Joal wasnt looking to adopt another dog. But there was something special about Sadie, a shepherd mix
who had been shot in the head and in the back and left for dead in the hills of Kentucky after giving birth. One gaze into those sorrowful
eyes and Joal vowed to do everything possible to get the pitiful creature walking again.
The first three vets offered little hope for Sadie and two even recommended euthanasia. But with patience, hope, and plenty of love, Joal
noticed a change in her canine companion. And somewhere along the difficult journey, she discovered that sweet Sadie had transformed
her life in ways she never could have imagined.
Now, media darlings Joal and Sadie are spreading their message of compassion, acceptance, and kindness around the world. Joyous and
inspiring, Saving Sadie is a triumphant story about the power of unconditional love and second chancesfor humans and animals alike.
PRAISE FOR SAVING SADIE AND JOAL DERSE DAUER
As an animal lover, and the owner of four fur babies of my own, plus one stray cat who found her way to my home to become a part of my
family, I understood Joal Derse Dauers love for Sadie, who she rescued from a no-kill shelter. I immediately fell in love with Sadie as you all
will, too. This book didnt just tug at my heart strings, it ripped at them. Please, I urge all you animal lovers out there, dont walk, run to your
bookstore to buy this wonderful, inspiring book. And then I urge you to do what you can for all the animals who dont have a Joal Derse
Dauer to count on to give them a better life, because thats what Im going to do as soon as I send of this testimonial.
Fern Michaels, New York Times bestselling author
Animals are the ultimate teachers of unconditional loveSaving Sadie will not only lift your spirits, open your heart, and deepen your
humannessit will make you want to tell everyone in your life to adopt, adopt, adopt! We think when we adopt a pet that we are saving
thembut the truth is, it is they, those perfect, lovable, guardian angels in fur, who truly save us. This book is not only a must-readit
is a moving, undeniable, and compassionate call to action.
Jodee Blanco, bullying survivor, activist and New York Times bestselling author of Please Stop Laughing At Me
