From #1 New York
Times bestselling author and radio host Mark R. Levin comes a searing
plea for a return to America’s most sacred values.
In Rediscovering Americanism, Mark R. Levin revisits the founders’ warnings about the perils of overreach by the federal government and concludes that the men who created our country would be outraged and disappointed to see where we've ended up. Levin returns to the impassioned question he's explored in each of his bestselling books: How do we save our exceptional country? Because our values are in such a precarious state, he argues that a restoration to the essential truths on which our country was founded has never been more urgent. Understanding these principles, in Levin’s words, can “serve as the antidote to tyrannical regimes and governments.” Rediscovering Americanism is not an exercise in nostalgia, but an appeal to his fellow citizens to reverse course. This essential book brings Levin’s celebrated, sophisticated analysis to the troubling question of America's future, and reminds us what we must restore for the sake of our children and our children's children. |

#1 NEW YORK
TIMES BESTSELLER, NAMED BY THE TIMES AS ONE OF "6 BOOKS
TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRUMP'S WIN" AND SOON TO BE A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE
DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD
From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America’s white working class
Hillbilly Elegy is
a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white
working-class Americans.
The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country. |

Paperback – March 16, 1998
by Margaret Atwood
 |
From the bestselling
author of the MaddAddam trilogy, here is the #1 New York Timesbestseller
and seminal work of speculative fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author.
Now a Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss, Samira Wiley, and Joseph Fiennes. Includes a new introduction by Margaret Atwood. Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now…. Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and literary tour de force. |

New York
Times Bestseller
In this
generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the
crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so
that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been
told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k
positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and
we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson
doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw,
refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of
Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good
mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation,
rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the
argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that
improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade,
but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and
limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and
losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson
advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace
our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and
start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage,
perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many
things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really
matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do
with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A
much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of
real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless
humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for
a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

“Much like The Boy
In the Striped Pajamas or The Book Thief,” this remarkable memoir
from Leon Leyson, one of the youngest children to survive the Holocaust on
Oskar Schindler’s list, “brings to readers a story of bravery and the fight
for a chance to live” (VOYA).
This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler’s list child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance, and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson’s life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory—a list that became world renowned: Schindler’s list. Told with an abundance of dignity and a remarkable lack of rancor and venom, The Boy on the Wooden Box is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you’ve ever read. |

Are you ready to hope
again? Are you ready to let go of doubt and sorrow? Just listen carefully.
God is whispering your name.
Somewhere, between the
pages of this book and the pages of your heart, God is speaking. And He is
calling you by name.
Maybe that's hard to
believe. Maybe you just can't imagine that the One who made it all thinks of
you that personally -- that He keeps your name on His heart and lips.
But it's true. In the
Bible and in the circumstances of your life, He whispers your name lovingly.
Tenderly. Patiently but persistently. Let these stories remind you of the God
who knows your name.
Some of the stories are
from the Bible. Some are drawn from everyday life. Most are about people who
are lost ... or weary ... or discouraged -- just like you may be. If you let
them, they will tell the story of your life. And the story of a God who
speaks into your situation.
So listen closely as you
turn these pages. Listen for the Father's gentle whisper that can erase your
doubt, your sorrow, your weariness, your despair.
It really is your name
that you hear, and the Voice that calls is more loving that your ever dared
dream. Listen. And learn to hope again.

Read the New York
Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm!
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations. A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review). |

From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . .
In the turbulent summer
of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the
eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest
girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her
friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the
surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever
uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped
in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a
pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've
become TullyandKate. Inseparable.
So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend. |

“That was it. That was all of it. A grace so ordinary there was no reason at all to remember it. Yet I have never across the forty years since it was spoken forgotten a single word.” New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson’s Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder. Frank begins the season preoccupied with the concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his family—which includes his Methodist minister father; his passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and wise-beyond-his-years kid brother—he finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years. Told from Frank’s perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God. |
