 stock image, actual book may vary From a gifted new storyteller comes a warm, funny and endearing tale of life and love off the beaten track. Pat Lloyd has spent her entire life in Kilgore - a small town off the Interstate set amidst the subtle beauty of the rolling hills and sagebrush-covered plains of the West. Known by all the townspeople as intelligent, likeable, and a bit odd, Pat works at her Pop's mercantile and fills the rest of her hours with mail order books and the solitude of day dreams. But just when Pat's existence seems settled, Alma Rose, a charming and vivacious trucker with elaborately tooled cowboy boots and a mouth that gallops ahead of her mind, rumbles off the highway and into Pat's life, changing it forever. Inspired by her passion for Alma Rose and the unforeseen intensity of desire, Pat transforms her life into a startling - and monumental - testament to the power of love. A brilliant debut novel filled with memorable characters and the vibrant spirit of the West, Alma Rose will strike a chord in the heart of every reader.

 stock image, actual book may vary On New York's Long Island, in the unpredictable decade of the 1960s, a young boy spends much of his free time in the basement of his family's modest home, where he and his brother, Jim, have created Botch Town, a detailed cardboard replica of their community, complete with figurines representing friends and neighbors. Their little sister, Mary, smokes cigarettes, speaks in other voices, inhabits alternate personas . . . and, unbeknownst to her siblings, moves around the inanimate clay residents. There is a strangeness in the air as disappearances, deaths, spectral sightings, and the arrival of a sinister man in a long white car mark this unforgettable shadow year. But strangest of all is the inescapable fact that all these troubling occurrences directly cor-respond to the changes little Mary has made to the miniature town in their basement.

 stock image, actual book may vary "Before I moved to New York from Albany, I wrote out a careful, step-by-step plan: 1 Rock out; 2 No more data entry." Gary Benchley, recent college grad and aspiring rock star, left his dead-end life in Albany to seek his fortune in that hotbed of hipsters Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Earnestly optimistic and completely confident in his fate, Gary writes of his trials and tribulations securing a roommate, a girlfriend, and even a band the "world s most inclusive band" complete with a gay synth player, a hot chick drummer, and a cool black bassist. Calling their not- quite-musical sound "indie prog," they combine the most pretentious music of the 1970s with the most pretentious music of today. But after a dozen shows and even an album, the band begins to fall apart, and Gary finds himself increasingly disillusioned with his rock star fantasies. In Gary s world, though, the glass is always half full. Gary Benchley , Rock Star is a hilarious, satirical debut that grew out of Ford s popular column on TheMorningNews.org.

 stock image, actual book may vary With The Sportswriter, in 1986, Richard Ford commenced a cycle of novels that ten years later after Independence Day won both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN Faulkner Award was hailed by The Times of London as an extraordinary epic that is nothing less than the story of the twentieth century itself. Now, a decade later, Frank Bascombe returns, with a new lease on life and real estate , more acutely in thrall to life s endless complexities than ever before. His story resumes in the autumn of 2000, when his trade as a realtor on the Jersey Shore is thriving, permitting him to revel in the acceptance of that long, stretching-out time when my dreams would have mystery like any ordinary person s; when whatever I do or say, who I marry, how my kids turn out, becomes what the world if it makes note at all knows of me, how I m seen, understood, even how I think of myself before whatever there is that s wild and unassuagable rises and cheerlessly hauls me off to oblivion. But as a Presidential election hangs in the balance, and a postnuclear-family Thanksgiving looms before him along with crises both marital and medical, Frank discovers that what he terms the Permanent Period is fraught with unforeseen perils: All the ways that life feels like life at age fifty-five were strewn around me like poppies. A holiday, and a novel, no reader will ever forget at once hilarious, harrowing, surprising, and profound. The Lay of the Land is astonishing in its own right and a magnificent expansion of one of the most celebrated chronicles of our time.

 stock image, actual book may vary Richard Ford's Independence Day --his sequel to The Sportswriter, and an international bestseller--is the only novel ever to have received both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN Faulkner Award. Now, two years later, he reaffirms his mastery of shorter fiction with his first collection since the widely acclaimed Rock Springs, published a decade ago. The landscape of Women with Men ranges from the northern plains of Montana to the streets of Paris and the suburbs of Chicago, where Mr. Ford's various characters experience the consolations and complications that prevail in matters of passion, romance and love. A seventeen-year-old boy starting adulthood in the shadow of his parents' estrangement, a survivor of three marriages now struggling with cancer, an ostensibly devoted salesman in early middle age, an aspiring writer, a woman scandalously betrayed by her husband--they each of them contend with the vast distances that exist between those who are closest together. Whether alone, long married or newly met, they confront the obscure difference between privacy and intimacy, the fine distinction of pleasing another as opposed to oneself, and a need for reliance that is tempered by fearful vulnerability. In three long stories, Richard Ford captures men and women at this complex and essential moment of truth--in the course of everyday life, or during a bleak Thanksgiving journey, seismic arguments, Christmas abroad, the sudden disappearance of a child, even a barroom shooting. And with peerless emotional nuance and authority he once again demonstrates, as Elizabeth Hardwick has written, "a talent as strong and varied as American fiction has to offer."

 stock image, actual book may vary The compelling companion title to the much-lauded Just One Day follows Willem's transformative journey toward self-discovery and true love, by the author of If I Stay . Picking up where Just One Day ended, Just One Year tells Willem's side of the story. After spending an amazing day and night with Allyson in Paris that ends in separation, Willem and Allyson are both searching for one another. His story of their year of quiet longing and near misses is a perfect counterpoint to Allyson s own as Willem undergoes a transformative journey, questioning his path, finding love, and ultimately, redefining himself. The complexity of Willem s character, the twisting plot, and far-flung settings including the Netherlands, Mexico, and India create an alluring story that pushes beyond the realm of star-crossed romance. Publishers Weekly starred review As much a travelogue as it is a romance, this novel will appeal to fans of the movie Before Sunrise or Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes HarperCollins, 2005 . School Library Journal As Willem becomes engaged personally and professionally, readers will find their interest quickening, right up to the satisfying denouement. Kirkus Reviews

A harried working mother who s so busy taking care of her husband and twins, she doesn t even realize she s had a heart attack. Surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable: she packs a bag and leaves. But, as is often the case, once we get where we re going we see our lives from a different perspective. Far from the demands of family and career and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is able to own up to secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves. With bighearted characters--husbands, wives, friends, and lovers--who stumble and trip, grow and forgive, Leave Me is about facing the fears we re all running from. Gayle Forman is a dazzling observer of human nature. She has written an irresistible novel that confronts the ambivalence of modern motherhood head on and asks, what happens when a grown woman runs away from home?
