Now in paperback—the fiction debut of the 

New York Times bestselling author of My Fair Lazy. 

Told in the uproariously entertaining voice readers have come to expect 

from Jen Lancaster, If You Were Here follows Amish-zombie-teenromance 

author Mia and her husband Mac (and their pets) through the alternately 

frustrating, embarrassing, terrifying—but always funny—process of buying 

and renovating their first home in the Chicago suburbs that John Hughes’s 

movies made famous. Along their harrowing renovation journey, Mia and 

Mac get caught up in various wars with the homeowners’ association, 

meet some less-than-friendly neighbors, and are joined by a hilarious 

cast of supporting characters. As they struggle to adapt to their new 

surroundings, their very own money pit will force them to use the little 

they’ve learned watching home improvement shows—and all of their 

life savings. Is their marriage strong enough to survive months of DIY 

renovations?

SUGGESTED ORDER 

Jen Lancaster’s attempts to grow the hell up 

will have readers in heaven. 

In Such a Pretty Fat, Jen learned how to come to terms with her 

body. In My Fair Lazy, she expanded her mind. Now, the New York 

Times bestselling author gives herself—and her generation—a kick 

in the X, by facing her greatest challenge to date: acting her age. 

Jen is finally ready to put away childish things (except her Barbie 

Styling Head, of course) and embrace the investment-making, 

mortgage-carrying, life insurance-having adult she’s become. From 

getting her first mammogram to volunteering at a soup kitchen, she 

tackles the grown-up activities she’s resisted for years, and with 

each rite of passage she completes, she’ll uncover a valuable—and 

probably humiliating—life lesson that will ease her path to fullfledged, 

if reluctant, adult. 

Jen Lancaster is the New York Times bestselling author of six books. 

She is a regular columnist for Tribune Media Services. She resides in the 

suburbs of Chicago and blogs at jennsylvania.com.

bestselling 

memoirs, Jen Lancaster delivers a hysterical debut novel about a 

couple, their suburban dream—and a do-it-yourself nightmare. 

10” w x 48” h x 16” d 

Mia has no doubt that she and her husband, Mac, can win a war of spraypainted 

words with the young thug who keeps tagging their Chicago home. 

After all, they’re gainfully employed, college-educated urbanites. But as the 

situation comes to a head, they have to admit the charm of living in the city 

has worn off, and so they decide to move to the suburbs John Hughes’s 

movies made famous. 

With visions of inground pools and huge backyards, Mia and Mac embark 

wide-eyed on an odyssey of open houses and do what millions of others 

do in their situation—they settle. Their very own money pit will force them 

to use not only the little that they’ve learned watching home-improvement 

television shows, but their life savings. 

In the end, their xer-upper will test the very foundation of their marriage, 

which they can only hope is stronger than the foundation of their new home.

The sequel to the national bestseller 

Whistling in the Dark—now in trade 

paperback. 

“A gorgeous page turner.”* 

Whistling in the Dark captivated readers with the story of tenyear-old 

Sally O’Malley and her sister, Troo, during Milwaukee’s 

summer of 1959. Now it’s one year later, and Sally, who made a 

deathbed promise to her daddy to keep Troo safe, is having a hard 

time honoring her vow. Her sister is growing increasingly rebellious 

amid a string of home burglaries, a nemesis’ escape from reform 

school, and the mysterious disappearance of an orphan—events 

that have the entire neighborhood on edge. And in that tense, hot 

summer, Sally will have to ground her flights of imagination, and 

barter her waning innocence, in order to sort the truth from lies to 

protect her sister and herself. 

“Moving, funny, and full of unexpected delights...told in the 

sparkling voices of two extraordinary sisters.”

In this stunningly original debut, go beyond 

the legend of Queen Cleopatra and discover a 

passion steeped in the bloodlust of vampires. 

The year is 30 BC. A messenger delivers word to Queen Cleopatra that 

her beloved husband, Antony, has died at his own hand. Desperate 

to save her kingdom, Cleopatra strikes a mortal bargain in exchange 

for Antony’s soul, transforming her into an immortal—a vampire 

with superhuman strength and an insatiable hunger for blood. 

Leaving a trail of fiery retribution, Cleopatra journeys from the tombs of 

Egypt to the ancient underworld in order to meet her husband again. But 

to resurrect him, Cleopatra will need to challenge mythical beings with 

power beyond comprehension—risking the fate of both this world and 

the next for a love that will not die… 

“Epic…combines a great love story with a slew of witches, gods, ghosts, 

and classical monsters.” —Danielle Trussoni 

“Compelling…should appeal to those who like their historical fiction 

and those who crave dark magics and sharp teeth in the night.” 

—Neil Gaiman

“A full-throttle thriller” (New York Times)—now 

in paperback! 

A man wakes up naked and cold, half-drowned on an empty beach. The 

only sign of life for miles is an abandoned BMW. Inside the car, he finds 

clothes that fit perfectly and an auto registration in the name of Daniel 

Hayes, resident of Malibu, California. None of it is familiar. 

How did he get here? Who is he? While he searches for answers, the 

world searches for him—beginning with the cops who kick in the door of 

his dingy motel room with guns drawn. All he remembers is a woman’s 

face, so he leaves town in search of her in hopes of uncovering his true 

identity. But that raises the most chilling question of all: What will he find 

when he gets there? 

“The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes confirms Marcus Sakey’s place as one 

our best storytellers. This is a tight, intuitive and terrific read.”

A contemporary women’s novel with a fresh take 

on love, faith, and family that Emily Giffin calls 

“a fabulous debut.” 

Growing up, Ellen Carlisle was a Christian: she went to Jesus camp, 

downed stale Nilla wafers at Sunday school, and never, ever played 

with Ouija boards. Now, years later, when infertility prevents her from 

giving her ambitious attorney husband a family, she finds herself on the 

brink of divorce, unemployed, and living with her right-wing, Born Again 

Christian parents in her suburban New Jersey hometown. There, problems 

are public, the past is ever-present, and starting over isn’t easy. 

Then Ellen meets a man to whom she believes she can open her 

heart, and she begins to think that maybe it’s true what they say, that 

everything happens for a reason—until all that was going well starts 

going very badly, and Ellen is forced to finally dig down deep to find her 

own brand of faith. 

“An emotional and satisfying novel that’s as tender as it is funny— 

a fabulous debut that’s fresh, honest, and addictive. Don’t miss it!”

The continuation of the epic story of Thomas 

Cale—from the author of The Left Hand of God. 

To the warrior-monks known as the Redeemers, “the last four things” 

represent the culmination of a faithful life. Death. Judgment. Heaven. 

Hell. The last four things represent eternal bliss—or endless destruction. 

Perhaps nowhere are the competing ideas of heaven and hell exhibited 

more clearly than in the dark and tormented soul of Thomas Cale. Betrayed 

by the girl he loved but still marked by a child’s innocence, possessed of 

a remarkable aptitude for violence but capable of extreme tenderness, 

Cale will lead the Redeemers into a battle for nothing less than the fate 

of the human race.

A brand-new novel from an author who “weaves 

love, lust, tragedy and triumph into a rich 

historical tapestry” (Karen Harper). 

1348. Abandoned and raised in a convent, Alice Perrers rose from obscure 

beginnings to become the powerful, infamous mistress of Edward III. 

After she refuses to take the veil, a chance meeting with royalty changes 

everything: kindly Queen Philippa, deeply in love with her husband but 

gravely ill, chooses Alice as a lady-in-waiting. But Alice is torn when 

her vibrant spirit captures the king’s interest...and leads her to a betrayal 

she never intended. In Edward’s private chambers, Alice discovers the 

pleasures and paradoxes of her position. She is the queen’s confidante,

From the Boys of Summer to the miracle 

in Flushing. 

Gil Hodges was a key player in the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers’ “Boys of 

Summer” era, leading the team to six National League Pennants and one of 

the most thrilling World Series victories of all time, in 1955. As a manager 

for the Mets, he turned the losing team into World Champions in 1969. 

When acclaimed authors Tom Clavin and Danny Peary delved into the life 

of this overlooked legend, they discovered that he was also a decorated 

Marine Corps hero in WWII. Here is the first in-depth biography of a man 

who was a legend on and off the diamond.

a jewel smuggler, she has to pose as the ship’s new stewardess, but 

between serving drinks to the snobs, scrubbing floors, and cleaning up 

after seasick passengers, she’s starting to miss dry land as much as she

Monk faces a killer nobody would want to mess 

with in the newest mystery based on the popular 

USA Network series. 

No one likes to come home to a mess—least of all Adrian Monk and 

Natalie. But when they return to San Francisco from an extended stay 

working as cops in New Jersey, Natalie discovers somebody has been 

sleeping in her bed. But this Goldilocks is not asleep. She’s dead. If that’s 

not bad enough, investigators find marked money from a Federal sting 

operation stuffed under Natalie’s mattress. Now her life is a real mess, 

and she needs Monk’s help to clean it up. 

Praise for the Monk novels: 

“A highly entertaining series.” —Mystery Scene 

“Hilariously funny and devilishly clever.”

The Blackbird sisters are back—and as witty and 

wonderful as ever! 

Word arrives that the Blackbird sisters’ larger-than-life great aunt 

Madeleine has died in a volcanic eruption on an Indonesian island and 

left her fabulous estate, worth millions, to the three of them. But when 

Nora, Libby, and Emma show up to claim their windfall, they find the 

house in a state of decay and all of Madeleine’s to-die-for treasures gone. 

Worse, the mansion has been hiding a grisly secret—the body of a woman 

who died there many years ago. Now it’s up to Nora, her irrepressible 

sisters, and her mobster boyfriend Mick to uncover the truth.

Experience grand master of science fiction 

Robert Silverberg’s classic bestselling saga. 

“An imaginative fusion of action, sorcery and science fiction.” 

—New York Times Book Review 

He is a man with no past—a wanderer without memory of his origins. He 

calls himself Valentine. As a member of a motley group of entertainers, he 

travels across the magical planet of Majipoor, always hoping he will meet 

someone who can give him back what he has lost. 

And then, he begins to dream—and to receive messages that tell him 

that he is far more than a common vagabond—he is a lord, a king turned 

out of his castle. Now his travels have a purpose—to return to his home, 

discover what enemy took his memory, and claim the destiny that awaits 

him… 

“A sure-fire page-turner…a brilliant concept of the imagination.”

“Taylor Anderson and his patched-up fourstackers 

have steamed to the forefront of 

alternative history. All aboard for a cracking great 

read!” —E. E. Knight 

War has engulfed the other earth. With every hard-won victory and 

painful defeat, Matt Reddy and the Allies encounter more friends—and 

more diabolical enemies. Even in the arms of the woman he loves, there 

is little peace for Reddy. The vast sea and scope of the conflict has trapped 

him too far away to help on either front, but that doesn’t mean he and 

the Walker can rest —and man and four-stacker must face a bigger ship. 

Elsewhere, the long-awaited invasion of Grik “Indiaa” has begun, and the 

Human-Lemurian Alliance is pushing back against the twisted might of 

the Dominion. The diplomatic waters seethe with treachery and a final, 

terrible plot explodes in the Empire of New Britain Isles. 

“Taylor Anderson has brought a fresh new perspective to the tale of a 

cross-time shipwreck. The action is gripping and riveting.” 

—New York Times bestselling author S. M. Stirling

Life on the frontier is full of deceit and danger, but bounty hunter Cedar 

Hunt is a man whose word is his bond. Cursed with becoming a beast 

every full moon, Cedar once believed his destiny was to be alone. But 

now, Cedar finds himself saddled with a group of refugees, including 

the brother he once thought lost. 

Keeping his companions alive is no easy task, in part because of the 

promise he made to the unpredictable Madder brothers—three miners 

who know the secret mechanisms of the Strange. To fulfill his pledge, 

Cedar must hunt a powerful weapon known as the Holder—a search that 

takes him deep into the savage underbelly of the young country and high 

into the killing glim-field skies defended by desperate men and deadly

responsible for the disappearance of the Seawitch’s passengers and crew.

(Books with Bite).

Graciela “Ace” Jones is a sassy high school 

teacher, known in her small town of Bugtussle, 

Mississippi, for an outsize presence and a mouth to 

match. But this time that big mouth might 

get her into big trouble.... 

Ace knows that something bad is brewing when her best friend and coworker, 

Lilly, cancels their annual spring break trip to be with a man—a 

man she’s kept a secret for months. But the real trouble comes when Lilly is 

red by their horrible principal—under suspicion of sleeping with a student, 

of all things. 

Ace and their mutual friend Chloe know they have to prove Lilly’s innocence, 

a prospect as appealing to Ace as a side salad. Then Chloe lands in a crisis 

of her own when her aristocratic—and emotionally abusive—husband drives 

her toward the breaking point. At her wit’s end, Ace intends to ruin his reputation 

while saving Lilly’s. Meanwhile, a boyfriend from her past reappears, 

which gets her wondering if she’s prepared for affection from someone other 

than her dog, chiweenie Buster Loo. For these three women, matters are going 

south on a grand scale—and Ace doesn’t do well with scales. 

A revised and expanded print edition of the smash hit 

New York Times bestselling e-book!

tically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America’s 

t-known humorists—authors, comedians, actors—to offer biting commenon 

what it means to share a life, and a heart, with a dog. From battling for 

space to trying to transform a pampered NYC pup into a Texas rawhide, 

from helping a shelter rescue navigate through her new life to interpreting 

run dynamics (and politics), being a canine companion has challenges as 

gh as any agility course, but laughter is just a tail wag away. Being part of a 

’s life means experiencing selflessness, unmitigated joy, and boundless love 

a daily basis—and these contributors capture their dogs’ distinct personaliwith 

uncanny insight and witty prose. 

en you open your home to a dog, you open yourself up to the world 

und you. Dogs’ fearless devotion makes you less afraid. Dealing with their 

ks makes you more tolerant. And living in the moment with them gives 

memories that you’ll cherish forever. 

y life has been defined by dogs. I’ve had six dogs in my life, and each one 

was different from the other as brother is from sister. But all had a few 

ngs in common. They were all rescue dogs who loved me unconditionally, 

and taught me to love without limit.”—WADE ROUSE

An imaginative visual diary that encourages

scribbles, doodles, and writing. 

Lisa Currie’s website, The Scribble Diary, was born from a daydream about 

creating a page of open-ended doodled prompts and sharing it with a 

variety of artists; she was curious how the prompts would be interpreted 

and eager to see how people would respond. The beautiful spectrum of 

results went beyond what she could have hoped for. 

The Scribble Diary is based on the original doodle sheet, and provides 

a range of quirky and inspiring open-ended visual prompts, encouraging 

readers to respond in whatever manner they want—with words, pictures, 

doodles, and more—to create a unique visual record of their days.

A fascinating and accessible look at the world of 

recreational linguistics. 

In Tyrannosaurus Lex, Rod Evans takes readers down the rabbit hole into 

the bizarre and intriguing world of recreational linguistics (or logology)— 

the pursuit of word puzzles or puzzling words. Readers will learn about: 

• Anagrams, palindromes, and puns 

• Words with unusual nonsemantic features, such as only one vowel or 

all the vowels in alphabetical order 

• Paraprosdokians—sentences with surprise endings (“I’ve had a 

perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.” —Groucho Marx) 

• Kangaroo words, which contain letters in sequence that form 

synonyms of the original word (curtial/cut; regulate/rule) 

Praise for Evans’s Thingamajigs and Whatchamacallits: 

“In this entertaining dictionary, Evans enables you to impress your 

friends by proving to them that, yes, English has a word for that.” 

—Tyler Hinman, five-time winner of the American Crossword 

Puzzle tournament 

“Positively bursting with linguistic gems.” —Chicago Tribune

Now in paperback: A top child psychologist 

revisits some of his most challenging former 

patients —and examines how Ritalin changed 

their lives. 

The author of the bestselling Running on Ritalin continues to question the 

efficacy of the widely prescribed drug. This provocative book asks: 

• Is ADHD legitimate or a social construct to excuse poor parenting or 

lack of attention to children? Is it over- or under-diagnosed? 

• Why does the United States have virtually all the world’s ADHD? 

• At the most personal level, has anxiety over childrens’ feelings about 

themselves paradoxically led us to become intolerant of even their 

smallest deficiencies? 

To bring these questions to life—and to answer them with candor and 

compassion—Dr. Diller has reconnected with former patients, now in 

their twenties. What he discovers provides insight into the process of 

child therapy, and the long-term effects of the most controversial treatment 

methods of our time. 

“Deserves close scrutiny by parents and healthcare professionals as well 

as some serious soul-searching about our collective dependence on 

pharmaceuticals.” —Booklist

A funny and fascinating investigation of food 

fears from a writer who’s been in the 

culinary trenches. 

As a child, Stephanie Lucianovic created an elaborate system for disposing 

of yucky food involving bookshelves, holiday centerpieces, and, later, 

boyfriends. As an adult, this picky eater found herself in the most 

unlikely of circumstances: a graduate of culinary school who became a 

cheesemonger and then a food writer. Along the way, she realized just 

how common her plight was. Picky eating is an issue for millions of kids; 

there are even support groups for adults who can’t kick it. 

With wit and charm, through visits to laboratories specializing in gene 

testing and support groups for parents of picky eaters, Stephanie explores 

her own food phobias and tries to discover the roots of picky eating. Even 

as she eggs fellow picky eaters on, offering plenty of clever ways to avoid 

hated foods in every social situation, she also shares tips to help readers 

overcome pickiness in themselves and their children.

Win the race before you even take the first step... 

Starting at the Finish Line introduces readers to the “rule book” 

of legendary track and cross-country Duke University coach 

Al Buehler. Along with his “pep talks” and coach-able quotes, the 

book comprises the timeless lessons with which he has inspired 

and motivated Olympic and national champion track and field 

stars, including Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Mary Decker 

Slaney, as well as countless other Olympians and professional 

athletes, and the thousands of Duke students who have attended 

his unique class, History and Issues of American Sports. 

Throughout the book, America’s top athletes, whom he has coached 

over the past five decades, share why Buehler has made such an 

indelible mark on their lives on and off the field and outside the 

classroom. In their words and by their actions, they show why the 

Coach’s “rules” work. 

“Coach Buehler is someone who left an indelible mark in my life. 

He’s simply a great person, a great human being.” 

—Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic Gold Medalist 

“There are a lot of great men and there are a lot of great coaches. 

And Coach Buehler was definitely one of those.” 

—Carl Lewis, 9-time Olympic gold medalist 

“To me, Al is the best example of a teacher-coach in 

intercollegiate sports.” 

—Mike (Coach K) Krzyzewski, Duke Men’s Basketball 

Amy E. Unell, a native of Kansas City, KS, was an Emmy ® -nominated 

producer for NBC’s Today Show based out of the NBC News Los Angeles 

bureau for more than six years. A graduate of Duke University, where

Fellow at Duke’s DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy at the

Highs, lows, and an ever-evolving brand —what 

makes Bob Dylan tick? 

Forget About Today does what bestselling self-help guides do well—distill 

the secrets of a winner to inspire and encourage readers in every aspect 

of their lives. Few celebrities have successfully maneuvered through 

landmines of their careers quite as relentlessly as Bob Dylan. At every 

turn he encountered strong resistance from naysayers when he dared to 

challenge the status quo. From going electric to appearing in a Victoria’s 

Secret commercial, Dylan trusted his instincts and defied the skeptics 

who predicted his demise every time. 

Featuring exclusive interviews with key players in Dylan’s life and career, 

including his oldest son Jesse, his manager, and musicians such as 

Paul Simon and Suzanne Vega, Forget About Today provides valuable 

insights from a revolutionary artist and entrepreneur. This is not an 

“insider” book for obsessive music fans only—everyone can take away 

hard-earned lessons from Dylan about how to follow their dream, tune 

out critics, and embrace life to its fullest potential.

A rising literary star debuts with twelve 

wry, poignant stories of love, hope, and 

transformation. 

In this vibrant debut collection, Emma Straub creates characters as 

recognizable as a best friend, and follows them through moments of 

triumph and transformation with hilarity, vulnerability, and quietly 

dazzling insight. 

In “Some People Must Really Fall In Love,” an assistant professor takes 

halting steps into the awkward, adult world of office politics and blind 

dates while harboring feelings for one of her freshman students. Two grown 

sisters struggle with old assumptions about each other as they stumble to 

build a new relationship in “A Map of Modern Palm Springs.” Rome is the 

setting of “Puttanesca,” as two young widows move tentatively forward, 

still surrounded by ghosts and disappointments from the past. 

These twelve stories, filled with the sharp humor, emotional acuity, and 

joyful language that are sure to become Straub’s hallmarks, announce the 

arrival of a major new talent. 

“Emma Straub is a wry, witty, incisively observant writer.” 

—Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply 

“Other People We Married is a revelation.” 

—Lorrie Moore, author of Birds of America and A Gate at the Stairs

the PsychOPath test 

A Journey through the Madness Industry 

Jon Ronson 

SUggESTEd ORdER 

The New York Times bestseller that touched a 

cultural nerve—a madcap investigation into 

the world of psychopaths and the industry 

that studies them. 

The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds 

of madness. When Jon Ronson looks into a potential hoax being 

played on the world’s top neurologists, he’s unexpectedly taken 

into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist 

who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, 

in fact, psychopaths, teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying 

individuals by looking out for telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. 

And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, 

enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad 

leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; 

a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in 

the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who 

insists he’s sane and certainly not a psychopath. 

Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers 

that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry 

are as mad in their own way as those they study, and that relatively 

ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.

friendship, and charity teach a young woman 

to live a bigger life. 

When Madeline Stone walks away from Chicago and moves five 

hundred miles north to the coast of Lake Superior, she isn’t prepared 

for how much her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging 

family friend, Madeline finds herself in the middle of beautiful 

nowhere with Gladys and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters. As 

Madeline begins to experience the ways of the small, tight-knit 

town, she is drawn into the lives and dramas of its residents. As the 

story hurtles along, Gladys, Arbutus, and the rest of the town teach 

Madeline more about life, love, and goodwill than she’s learned in 

a lifetime.

An extraordinary new memoir of growing up, 

and breaking tradition. 

Raised under the rules of her parents’ traditional Indian upbringing, 

Rupinder Gill would be busy babysitting while her friends were having 

slumber parties. She was prevented from leaving the house out of fear 

that the outside world would corrupt her. At age 30, tired of listening 

to others reminisce about the fun they had as kids, Rupinder decided 

to finally have some childhood fun of her own. On the Outside Looking 

Indian tells the story of Rupinder’s trip down non-memory lane, and 

her discovery that the most important lessons are learned when we are 

at play. 

“Voracious readers, beware...Gill’s memoir is not a book to be read in 

large gulps...it’s too funny to consume in one bite.” 

—Winnipeg Free Press 

“[A] charming, witty chronicle of the trials and tribulations of one 

woman’s belated attempt at a second childhood.” —Toronto Star

From the international bestselling author of 

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places, a 

shapeshifting literary mystery. 

In this gorgeously wrought and imagined novel, an investigative 

journalist interviews those who knew—or thought they knew—Alejandro 

Bevilacqua, a brilliant South American writer and author of the masterpiece 

In Praise of Lying. Through the diverse voices of those close to Bevilacqua 

and their divergent portraits of the man at the center of this literary 

examination of truth, the reader holds the power of final judgment. In 

All Men Are Liars, Alberto Manguel pays homage to literature’s revolving 

inventions, in which our own ideas of the world and the people around 

us are given agency and projected onto these virtuoso pages. 

“Clever, witty and entertaining.” —The Times (UK) 

“If Paul Auster...wore a friendly beard and had more of a Latin 

temperament, he might produce something like this richly hued, 

melancholy and funny puzzle of a novel.” —The Guardian (UK) 

“Richly textured, ingeniously constructed.” —The Spectator (UK) 

“This playful,ingenious, but finally tragic novel invites us, in the finest 

Manguel manner, into a labyrinth of rival narratives with an all-too-real 

monster at its heart.” —The Independent (UK)

From a former female diplomat comes a 

debut novel of modern Afghanistan. 

Twenty-one years ago, diplomat Angela Morgan witnessed the death 

of her husband during the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. 

Devastated by her loss, she fled back to America, where she hid in the 

backwaters of the State Department and avoided the high-profile postings 

that would advance her career. Now, with that career about to deadend, 

she must take the one assignment available—at a remote British 

army outpost in northern Afghanistan. Unwelcome among the soldiers 

and unaccepted by the locals, Angela has to fight to earn the respect of 

her colleagues, especially the enigmatic Mark Davies, a British major 

who is by turns her staunchest ally and her fiercest critic. Frustrated at 

her inability to contribute to the nation’s reconstruction, Angela slips 

out of camp disguised in a burka to provide aid to the refugees in the 

war-torn region. She becomes their farishta, or “angel,” in the local Dari 

language—and discovers a new purpose for her life, a way to finally put 

her grief behind her. 

Drawing on the author’s experiences as a diplomat in Afghanistan, 

Farishta is a deeply moving and fast-paced story of a woman struggling to 

move beyond a past trauma, and finding a new community, a new love, 

and a new sense of self in the process. 

“Compelling...more than a book about one woman and her desire to 

help Afghans find their own way.” —The Huffington Post 

“McArdle writes insightfully about the quagmire in that country and the 

human cost of war.” —Publishers Weekly

A chilling coming-of-age story hailed by O, the 

Oprah Magazine, as “a grown-up girl’s Flowers 

in the Attic.” 

Theo and Raquel Motherwell are the only newcomers to the sleepy town 

of Wick in fifteen-year-old Ginger Pritt’s memory. Hampered by a lingering 

innocence while her best friend, Cherry, grows more and more embroiled 

with boys, Ginger is instantly attracted to the worldliness of this dashing 

couple. But as Ginger’s keen imagination takes up the seductive mystery 

of their past, she is only left with more questions. Who—or what—exactly, 

are the Motherwells? And what is it they want with her?

Fascinating, amusing, and troubling insights into 

the undisputed capital of the 21st century. 

In this engrossing, irreverent account of contemporary Beijing, author Tom 

Scocca explains the defining city of the now and foreseeable future. When 

he arrived in 2004 as a curious American, he found a city rebuilding itself 

to house the 2008 Olympics, a city with avant-garde towers in crumbling 

neighborhoods, bedecked with friendly cartoon mascots and monitored 

by a wary public security force—a city bold enough to attempt to control 

the weather, but still insecure enough to arrest old ladies who protested 

the government. And when Scocca’s son is born, the city becomes more 

daunting yet more intimate. Beijing Welcomes You is a record of a place 

we don’t comprehend and of the superpower it is essential we get to 

know better. 

“Don’t skim this book, savor it.” —Gene Weingarten 

“A spirited portrayal of an old metropolis being turned inside out.”

—Time 

“[Scocca] has a keen eye for the oddities with which Beijing is

A glittering, energetic novel set in the eccentric 

and decadent city of Buenos Aires, where three 

women discover their own kinds of awakenings. 

Buenos Aires is a city of Parisian affectations and national anxiety, 

of amorous young lovers, seedy ports, flooded slums, and a dazzling 

social elite. And in this heady maze of contradiction and possibility 

are three women: Daisy, an American divorcée; Isolde, a beautiful, lonely 

Austrian; and Leonarda, a chameleonic Argentine with radical dreams 

of rebellion. 

Against the throbbing backdrop of this shimmering city—almost a 

character in itself—Maxine Swann has created a stunning narrative 

of reawakened sensuality and compulsive desire that simultaneously 

explores with remarkable acuity themes of foreignness, displacement, 

and the trembling metamorphoses that arise from such states. 

“The city of Buenos Aires dazzles in this novel about three women who 

find sex, adventure, and more sex in the Paris of South America.” 

—O, the Oprah Magazine 

“With lyricism and observational skill that recalls early Joan Didion, 

Swann brings Buenos Aires to life.” 

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

For the faithful and the skeptical—a 

profound new understanding of human rights 

from the New York Times bestselling author 

and minister. 

In his thoughtful, considered, and wide-ranging analysis, Keller 

explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace—a 

generous, gracious justice. He calls upon Christians to deepen their 

faith by understanding that justice for the poor and marginalized 

is central to the Scriptures’ message, and he challenges skeptics 

to recognize that the Bible is actually the basis for the modern 

understanding of justice. Provocative and illuminating, lively and 

thoughtful, Generous Justice is a classic exploration of faith. 

Timothy Keller started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 

1989 with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. Today, Redeemer has 

more than five thousand regular Sunday attendees, plus the members of 

more than one hundred new churches around the world. Keller lives in 

New York with his family. Author website: timothykeller.com

Now in paperback—a bold, historical novel from 

“one of the most original new voices of Latin 

American literature” (Mario Vargas Llosa). 

From the acclaimed author of The Informers comes an “exceptional” 

(The Wall Street Journal) novel about reclaiming the past—of both 

a country and a man. On the day of Joseph Conrad’s death in 1924, 

Colombian-born writer José Altamirano begins to write and cannot stop. 

Many years before, he had confessed to Conrad his life’s every delicious 

detail—from his country’s heroic revolutions to his own darkest solitary 

moment. Those stolen reflections became Nostromo, a novel that 

solidified Conrad’s fame and created the fictional Costaguana. Now that 

Conrad is dead, Altamirano must write himself back into existence. 

Tragic and despairing, comic and insightful, The Secret History of 

Costaguana is a masterpiece of historical invention and secures Vásquez’s 

place as one of the most exuberantly talented novelists working today. 

“[A] cunning tribute to a classic, but it also stands on its own merits as 

a dense and involving story about men who are either manipulating 

history or finding themselves at the barrel-end of it.” 

—The Wall Street Journal 

“Intricately detailed, audacious...[a] potent mixture of history, fiction, 

and literary gamesmanship.” —The Los Angeles Times

“A masterpiece of contemporary spiritual 

literature” (Caroline Myss). 

In 1965, David Spangler left college to follow an inner spiritual calling. 

Soon after, he encountered an extraordinary presence he began to call 

“John,” who over the next two decades served as his colleague and 

mentor, helping him to explore the inner worlds of the spirit. 

Apprenticed to Spirit is the absorbing memoir of one man’s journey to 

understanding how we can learn to lead lives of greater blessing and to 

be sources of blessing and service for the world as a whole. 

“It provides readers with a serious, grounded, and authentic story of 

how one man earned and sustained his relationship with his nonphysical 

side.” —Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit 

“A beautiful modern soul odyssey. Read this book to learn how to 

navigate inner worlds, how to build a spirited community and grow 

your group angel, and how to discern a true teacher on the inner and 

outer planes. Highly recommended.” 

—Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming 

MARKETING 




SALES POINTS 

• A surprising and unusual story about how one man listened to his inner voice 

and discovered a perception that opened his eyes to new spiritual realms
