The Great Gimmelmans

Middle child Aaron Gimmelman watches as his family goes from a mild-mannered reform Jewish clan to having over a million dollars of stolen money stuffed in their RV's cabinets while being pursued by the FBI and loan sharks. But it wasn't always like that. His father Barry made a killing as a stockbroker, his mother Judith loved her collection of expensive hats, his older sister Steph was obsessed with pop stars, and little sister Jenny loved her stuffed possum, Seymour. After losing all their money in the Crash of 1987, the family starts stealing from convenience stores, but when they hit a bank, they realize the talent they possess. The money starts rolling in and brings the family closer together, whereas back at home, no one had any time for bonding due to their busy schedules. But Barry's desire for more, more, more will take its toll on the Gimmelmans, and Aaron is forced into an impossible choice: turn against his father, or let his family fall apart. From Jersey, down to an Orthodox Jewish community in Florida where they hide out, and up to California, The Great Gimmelmans goes on a madcap ride through the 1980s. Filled with greed and love and the meaning of religion and tradition until the walls of the RV and the feds start closing in on the family, this thrilling literary tale mixes Michael Chabon and the Coen Brothers with equal parts humor and pathos. BUCKLE UP!

From the IPPY Award-winning author of The Almost Lovebirds comes a sweet enemies to lovers romantic comedy that will leave you swooning. In one week, two former college rivals will challenge everything they believe to be true about each other-and discover that being wrong might just be their greatest win. It's official: Sadie Harper's life is a dumpster fire. Last week she was living her best life as a beloved park ranger in a cozy woodland cabin. This week? She's lost both-and is stuck playing hostess at her parents' inn and feeling like a failure. She knows the pattern: whenever something good happens to her, something terrible follows. Things can't possibly get any worse... until they do, and the one person she never wanted to see again checks into the Jasmine Falls Inn. James Fielding: famous travel writer, charming TV host, internet darling. Mr. Annoyingly Perfect was once Sadie's biggest college rival and turned everything-from GPAs to charity bake sales-into a competition. Now he's shooting a new travel show that could mean a boon for Jasmine Falls' small business owners. Trouble is, they're all counting on Sadie to make sure he enjoys every minute of his time there-because nothing brings revenue like a glowing celebrity endorsement. Spending her days with James Fielding's big fat ego and sexy half-smile is agony for Sadie. Because beneath his witty banter and smoldering gaze, he's the perfect reminder of all her shortcomings. Worse, she can't ignore the way he makes her tongue-tied and weak-kneed-and something about his lingering stare tells her this isn't just part of his charming persona. When James asks for Sadie's help with filming, it gives her a new way to do the work she loves-if she's brave enough to take a leap. But Sadie can't help wondering why, of all the towns, did James choose this one? And why is he so interested in helping her get back on her feet? But most of all, why does all their pretend chemistry on set feel so much like the real thing? Author's note: Almost Definitely Never is a feel-good, closed-door romantic comedy and is a standalone novel in the Jasmine Falls Love Stories series. Perfect for readers who enjoy plucky heroines, sizzling chemistry with kissing only, small town shenanigans, laugh-out-loud comedy, and swoon-worthy second chances. For fans of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair.

If you had to endure a debilitating condition of body or mind, which would you choose? In this world, everyone suffers. --- In the far-future aftermath of a genetic plague that separated human society into two different groups – sickly yet super-intelligent Subterraneans and healthy but weak-minded Omniterraneans – a brilliant Subter girl is tasked with fixing the broken genetic code to reunite the two groups in the next generation. But when a newer plague turns fatal for the surface-dwelling Omnits, the only group able to reproduce (giving birth to both Subter and Omnit children), Zuzan must find a cure or humanity won’t simply remain divided, it will become extinct. But there's more conflict at hand than a broken genetic code. The fragile connection between Subters and Omnits has frayed to the point of breaking – to the point of war – and it will take more than genius to repair; it will take heart.

The Transformative History of Botox

In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval, which he achieved at a fraction of the billions big pharma usually spends to bring a drug to market. Eventually, the company Allergan bought him out, capitalizing on the possibilities for cosmetic uses. Scott's formula was renamed "Botox" and reached annual sales in the billions. After the sale, Scott received no further compensation from Botox sales and remained the same unassuming man. A fascinating walk through the intricate history of how the world's deadliest toxin starting as a treatment for crossed eyes became a routine tool for the cosmetic industry, Death to Beauty will make you rethink success, beauty, and deadly bacteria.
