BIOGRAPHY / MEMOIR
THE GEOGRAPHY OF LOVE
Chosen as one of The Ten Best Books of 2008 by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and a finalist for the 2008 Books for a Better Life Award, this tender and intimate memoir of a marriage will resonate with readers of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, and Susan Duncan's Salvation Creek.
FICTION
EXPOSURES
A drama that ranges from a photographer's life in the remote mountains of New Mexico to the audition hall of a talented young cello prodigy, Exposures is a sweeping tale of extraordinary talent and human destiny woven within the portals of music and twenty of history’s remarkable photographs.
LOOSE THREADS
Published for the first time in Britain as part of the "Great American First Novel" series, a story that explores the uncommon thread, the way not taken as we compose our lives. Engaging, fresh, and unforgettable, Loose Threads is about the journey to authenticity and the redemptive power of genuine passion.
REFERENCE / ACADEMIC
A SPECIAL COLLECTION THESAURUS: WOMEN STUDIES
