#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 USA TODAY BESTSELLER #1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER #1 INDIE BESTSELLER "The Four Winds seems eerily prescient in 2021 . . . Its message is galvanizing and hopeful: We are a nation of scrappy survivors. We’ve been in dire straits before; we will be again. Hold your people close.”—The New York Times "A spectacular tour de force that shines a spotlight on the indispensable but often overlooked role of Greatest Generation women."—People "Through one woman’s survival during the harsh and haunting Dust Bowl, master storyteller, Kristin Hannah, reminds us that the human heart and our Earth are as tough, yet as fragile, as a change in the wind." —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them. “My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.” Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family. The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

Jane Cockram

Jane Cockram makes her thrilling debut with this page-turning tale of psychological suspense in which a young woman whose life is in tatters flees to the safety of a family estate in England, but instead of comfort finds chilling secrets and lies.



Miranda's life and career has been a roller-coaster ride. Her successful rise to the top of the booming lifestyle industry as a social media influencer led to a humiliating fall after a controversial product she endorsed flopped. Desperate to get away from the hate-spewing trolls shaming her on the internet, she receives a mysterious letter from a young cousin in England that plunges her into a dark family mystery.

Miranda's mother Tessa Summers, a famous author, died when Miranda was a child. The young woman's only connection to the Summers family is through Tessa's famous book The House of Brides--a chronicle of the generations of women who married into the infamous Summers family and made their home in the rambling Barnsley House, the family's estate. From Gertrude Summers, a famed crime novelist, to Miranda's grandmother Beatrice, who killed herself after setting fire to Barnsley while her children slept, each woman in The House of Brides is more notorious than the next. The house's current "bride" is the beautiful, effervescent Daphne, her Uncle Max's wife--a famed celebrity chef who saved Barnsley from ruin turning the estate into an exclusive culinary destination and hotel.

Curious about this legendary family she has never met, Miranda arrives at Barnsley posing as a prospective nanny answering an advertisement. She's greeted by the compelling yet cold housekeeper Mrs. Mins, and meets the children and her Uncle Max--none of whom know her true identity. But Barnsley is not what Miranda expected. The luxury destination and award-winning restaurant is gone, and Daphne is nowhere to be found. Most disturbing, one of the children is in a wheelchair after a mysterious accident. What happened in this house? Where is Daphne? What darkness lies hidden in Barnsley?

Colleen McCullough

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

A Novel of Caesar and Cleopatra

With her renowned storytelling gifts in full force, Colleen McCullough delivers a breathtaking novel that proves once again that she is the top historical novelist of our time. Grand in scope and vivid in detail, McCullough’s gripping narrative thrusts readers headlong into the complex and fascinating world of Rome in the tumultuous last days of the Republic. At the height of his power, Gaius Julius Caesar becomes embroiled in a civil war in Egypt, where he finds himself enraptured by Cleopatra, the nation's golden-eyed queen. To do his duty as a Roman, however, he must forsake his love and return to the capital to rule. Though Caesar’s grip on power seems unshakable, the political landscape is treacherous—the returning hero has no obvious successor, and his legacy seems to be the prize for any man with the courage and cunning to fell Rome’s laurelled leader. Caesar’s jealous enemies masquerade as friends and scheme to oust the autocrat from power and restore true republican government to Rome. But as the plot races to its dramatic conclusion, it becomes clear that with the stakes this high, no alliance is sacred and no motives are pure.

The Boyfriend Effect

989ab25d-e36c-47bc-9f1a-cf1b9c1bb2f0-1

Laura J. Blake McBride

Over fifty years ago, the notorious Zodiac Killer began terrorizing the Bay Area cities of Benicia, Vallejo, Napa and San Francisco. With little regard for human life, he attacked two couples in lover's lanes, one couple on a deserted beach and a taxi cab driver in an affluent neighborhood. From there, his reign of terror widened as he claimed a total of thirty-seven victims in Santa Rosa, Lake Tahoe and Modesto. Ruthlessly, he threatened to shoot school children saying; "School children make nice targets. I think I shall wipe out a school bus some morning. Just shoot out the front tire and then pick off the kiddies as they come bouncing out." The infamous killer's weapons of choice were a High Standard .22 pistol, a .9-millimeter semi-automatic and a double-edged bayonet. He also insinuated that he had a death machine being stored in his basement for future use. While eluding police, his getaway mobile was a classic, muscle car, a white Chevy Nova. He even saw it fitting to lurk in the shadows, wearing a mysterious, black, executioner's hood. Ironically, he had the gall to ask the people of San Francisco to wear some nice Zodiac buttons, saying that it would cheer him up considerably; while he terrorized their streets. Although few serial killers have left calling cards behind, the Zodiac made morbid phone calls to law enforcement, wrote an incriminating message on a victim's car door and used pieces of a victim's bloody shirt to prove his identity. The poster boy for egotism, he requested the world-renowned lawyer, F. Lee Bailey; although he settled for the no-less-acclaimed attorney, Melvin Beli. The definitive publicity hound, the Zodiac wrote haunting cryptograms to three, major, Bay Area newspapers, demanding that they display them on their front pages or he would go on a "killing rampage." Over the years, reams of newspaper articles have been penned about him. Mountains of books, some that appeared on the Best Sellers list, have been printed about him. And, although he has yet to make a personal appearance, reels of movies and documentaries have been aired about him. More recently, cyber space has been filled with webpages about him, including ZodiacKiller.com, which regularly got over a million hits a month during its inception. My suspect, although nearly seventy, is still alive and well and enjoying life in sunny California. Hiding in plain sight, he is a beloved son, brother, father and grandfather. Ever the chameleon, he made a living as an ordinary salesman, coming into contact with thousands of people throughout his career. In the past, he has played the role of church elder, worship leader and Sunday School teacher; all the while carrying a Bible for all to see. But, perhaps his biggest betrayal of all was pretending to be a caring husband and father where he used his own, unsuspecting family as the ultimate façade. Today, feeling no remorse for his crimes, he frequents restaurants, movie theaters, book stores and grocery stores. Yet, most individuals would never suspect this psychopath of being anything more than the average man next door. Worthy adversary, or just plain lucky, he has been roaming the streets, a free man, for over fifty years since committing his crimes. It is my sincere hope that this book will bring the attention of law enforcement to my suspect.

Aurelie Levy

Hardcover (1 to 2 lbs)

A historical graphic novel inspired by the life of Harlem's legendary mobster, Stephanie Saint-Clair

Queenie follows the life of Stephanie Saint-Clair--the infamous criminal who made herself a legend in Harlem in the 1930s. Born on a plantation in the French colony of Martinique, Saint-Clair left the island in 1912 and headed for the United States, eager to make a new life for herself. In New York she found success, rising up through poverty and battling extreme racism to become the ruthless queen of Harlem's mafia and a fierce defender of the Black community.

   

A racketeer and a bootlegger, Saint-Clair dedicated her wealth and compassion to the struggling masses of Harlem, giving loans and paying debts to those around her. But with Prohibition ending, and under threat by Italian mobsters seeking to take control of her operation, she launched a merciless war to save her territory and her skin. In an America still swollen by depression and segregation, Saint-Clair understood that her image was a tool she could use to establish her power and wield as a weapon against her opponents.

   

Authors Elizabeth Colomba and Aurelie Levy's meticulous details--in both story and art--bring Saint-Clair's story to life in a tense narrative, against a sometimes bloody backdrop of jazz and voodoo. The story tackles the themes of colonization, corruption, police violence, and racial identity, but above all, Queenie celebrates the genius of a woman forgotten by history.

(I'll Be There in a Minute)

"Gary Janetti is bothered. By a lot of things. And thank God hes here to tell us. Hes bothered that he has to play football in high school gym when hed rather be in the guidance counselors office, faking sick and dishing about the latest dramas on his beloved soap operas. Hes annoyed when, as a kid growing up in Queens, New York, theres a serial killer loose in his neighborhood, but Carole Burnett is on tv and he really doesnt want to miss it. And dont get him started on how a perfectly planned vacation can be ruined by a bad hotel room. Start Without Me is for anyone who has ever felt like they dont quite fit in. For all of us that have thought, just maybe, those small, petty slights that life flings at us, over and over, are worth getting our feathers ruffled over. A book for any of us that have felt the joy in holding a lifelong grudge. Which is to really say, Start Without Me is for all of us. Janetti turns his acid tongue, and secretly beating heart, to the moments and times that defined him, when, as he writes, "most everything was wonderful. It was only tiny, little things," that stuck like a sharp pebble in a shoe. Deeply poignant, savagely funny, and slyly tender, Start Without Me will have readers wishing it would never end"--

Essays

Birth control. Body hair removal cream. Boobs. It's all weird, but also pretty normal. Navigating racial identity, gender roles, workplace dynamics, and beauty standards, Mia Mercado's hilarious essay collection explores the contradictions of being a millennial woman, which usually means being kind of a weirdo. Whether it's spending $30 on a candle that smells like an ocean that doesn't exist, offering advice on how to ask about someone's race (spoiler: just don't, please?), quitting a job that makes you need shots of whiskey on your lunch break, or finding a more religious experience in the skincare aisle at Target than your hometown Catholic church, Mia brilliantly unpacks what it means to be a professional, absurdly beautiful, horny, cute, gross human. Essays include: * Depression Isn't a Competition but Why Aren't I Winning? * My Dog Explains My Weekly Schedule * Mustache Lady * White Friend Confessional * Treating Objects Like Women With sharp humor and wit, Mia shares the awkward, uncomfortable, surprisingly ordinary parts of life, and shows us why it's strange to feel fine and fine to feel strange.

Audrina Patridge

To the Hills and Back Again

From the star of MTV's The Hills and The Hills: New Beginnings, a candid and insightful reflection on aughts tabloid fame, the powerlessness and loss of self in toxic situations, and the life-changing power of even our smallest choices.

If you know Audrina Patridge from one of the most successful reality shows ever, MTV's The Hills, you know that she doesn't pull punches. For years, she hid the challenges she faced, but now, she's finally sharing her full story for the first time--and it's not a neat little story, tied with a bow. This is the unvarnished truth about being young and carefree in Los Angeles, filming The Hills, and getting access to the most exclusive parties, decadent restaurants, and VIP clubs. It's also the unvarnished truth about darker days, when she lost her confidence, her voice, and even her self-worth as she was pushed to the brink of losing almost everything.

Just like The Hills, Audrina is back and better than ever. In Choices, she's baring it all: the nearly soul-crushing struggles, the beauty of finally reclaiming her power, and the incredible experiences and behind-the-scenes details of The Hills. This is the story of an eighteen-year-old girl who took a chance and had the experience of a lifetime on a reality TV phenomenon that made her a household name and tabloid regular. But it's also the story of a thirty-six-year-old woman and mother who regained her voice after years in a series of unfulfilling and even toxic relationships. Deeply insightful and wonderfully entertaining, Choices is a story of redemption, renewed strength, and reckoning with the choices we make.
