During the day they work as cleaners, pool attendants and bartenders; at night they take lots of drugs and have sex. The house becomes the centre of their world, and, for a while, Bronny is happier than she ever thought possible. Then the banging noises begin. And what Bronny doesn't realise is that the basement isn't empty." --Book Jacket.

*Now featured as a top 'Winter Read' in Girls' Life Magazine* It's 2135, and no human alive has seen the sun, or the stars, or even the sky. In the radioactive aftermath of WWIII, Kelsey Keslin is one of only 50,000 people left on the planet. Sealed inside the Republic of the Continuation, a subterranean city housing the last of humanity, the laws are strict, punishments brutal, and space and resources severely limited. The best form of population control has become the Gamble, a lottery based system which sentences thousands to death each year. Kelsey lives a privileged life. Of anyone, she has the least to worry about with the Gamble, but that doesn't stop her fear and anxiety as her first official day of potential selection draws closer. When someone she loves is chosen for execution, a part of her dies too. No longer willing to struggle alone, buried alive in a world made of nothing but grey concrete and cold metal, Kelsey collapses into a self-destructive depression. But then she meets the stunning, yet abrasively arrogant Jaxon Cole. Despite his aloof exterior, there's a connection between them that Kelsey can't quite explain. He sets out to prove the world holds more secrets than Kelsey ever realized, and some she never wanted to know. Accused of being a spy, kidnapped and tortured by a radical fringe group, and faced with death more than once, the biggest problems Kelsey battles, are the lies and betrayals of those she loves most. The Gamble is the first in a teen/ Young Adult dystopian trilogy. READER REVIEWS "One of the best books I've read in a long time." "I didn't want to stop reading. I finished in 3 days." "Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, the 100, and Divergent." "Kathryn shows mastery of the cliffhanger ending."

What do you do when life as you know it ends? Eden Ross is trying to figure that out. She starts by packing up the remains of her life and moving to a small town in Colorado to run a bar alongside her best friend. But the work still doesn't provide a sufficient distraction from the demons nipping at her heels. Estranged from the family she loves, she tries to focus on her new, tight-knit group of surprisingly accepting neighbors. That includes Chase Taylor, a charismatic outdoorsman she fails to keep at a distance despite her best intentions. But letting anyone get too close carries the possibility of them finding out her ugly truth, and that's a risk Eden's not willing to take. When a revelation from an unexpected source rocks her to her core, she's forced to make a decision that will change the course of her life. Faced with this impossible choice between her family and her well-being, she knows she needs help, and the only way to get it is to tell the truth about what has happened, so she can finally leave the past behind once and for all. In her debut novel, Hannah Bird deftly explores what it truly means to be a family and whether those ties that bind us all can- or should- ever be broken. Follow Eden on her journey to discover the goodness of life and love after tragedy, and the importance of those that support us along the way.

A Novel

From the author of A Little Hope--a Read with Jenna Bonus Pick--comes an enormously powerful and life-affirming novel about three individuals whose lives intersect in unforeseen ways.

Set in a close-knit Pennsylvania suburb in the grip of winter, A Quiet Life follows three people grappling with loss and finding a tender wisdom in their grief.

Chuck Ayers used to look forward to nothing so much as his annual trip to Hilton Head with his wife, Cat--that yearly taste of relaxation they'd become accustomed to in retirement, after a lifetime of working and raising two children. Now, just months after Cat's death, Chuck finds that he can't let go of her things--her favorite towel, the sketchbooks in her desk drawer--as he struggles to pack for a trip he can't imagine taking without her.

Ella Burke delivers morning newspapers and works at a bridal shop to fill her days while she anxiously awaits news--any piece of information--about her missing daughter. Ella adjusts to life in a new apartment and answers every call on her phone, hoping her daughter will reach out one day.

After the sudden death of her father, Kirsten Bonato set aside her veterinary school aspirations, finding comfort in the steady routine of working at an animal shelter. But as time passes, old dreams and new romantic interests begin to surface--and Kirsten finds herself at another crossroads.

In this beautifully crafted and profoundly moving novel, three parallel narratives converge in poignant and unexpected ways, as each character bravely presses onward, trying to recover something they have lost. Emotionally riveting and infused with hope, A Quiet Life celebrates humanity in the midst of uncertainty.
