W. Bruce Cameron
(Forge, $24.99)


Lucas Ray is shocked when an adorable puppy jumps out of an abandoned building and into his arms. Though the apartment he shares with his mother doesn't allow dogs, Lucas can't resist taking Bella home.  After Bella is picked up by Animal Control because pit bulls are banned in Denver, Lucas has no choice but to send her to a foster home until he can figure out what to do. But Bella, distraught at the separation, doesn't plan to wait. With four hundred miles of dangerous Colorado wilderness between her and her person, Bella sets off on a seemingly impossible and completely unforgettable adventure home. 


A classic story of unwavering loyalty and incredible devotion,  A Dog's Way Home is a beautifully told, charming tale that explores the unbreakable bond between us and our pets. This fantastic and exhilarating journey of the heart is in the same tradition as the beloved best-seller by W. Bruce Cameron,  A Dog's Purpose.

10% of proceeds will be donated to the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society.

Luncheon with 
Dorothea Benton Frank
Same Beach Next Year
(William Morrow, $27.99)


One enchanted summer, two couples begin a friendship that will last more than twenty years and transform their lives. A chance meeting on the Isle of Palms, one of Charleston's most stunning barrier islands, brings former sweethearts, Adam Stanley and Eve Landers together again. Their respective spouses, Eliza and Carl, fight sparks of jealousy flaring from their imagined rekindling of old flames. 

As Adam and Eve get caught up on their lives, their partners strike up a deep friendship-and flirt with an unexpected attraction-of their own. Bursting with the intoxicating richness of Dorothea Benton Frank's beloved Lowcountry--the sultry sunshine, cool ocean breezes, icy cocktails, and starry velvet skies-- Same Beach, Next Year is a dazzling celebration of the infrangible power of friendship, the enduring promise of summer, and the indelible bonds of love.

Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich
(Flatiron Books, $26.99)

  

Before Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job at a law firm in Louisiana, working on the retrial defense of death-row convicted murderer and child molester Ricky Langley, she thinks her position is clear. The child of two lawyers, she is staunchly anti-death penalty. But the moment she hears him speak of his crimes, she is overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked by her reaction, she digs deeper and deeper into the case, realizing that despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar.  As Alexandria pours over the facts of the murder, she finds herself thrust into the complicated narrative of Ricky's childhood. And by examining the details of Ricky's case, she is forced to face her own story, to unearth long-buried family secrets, to reckon with how her own past colors her view of Ricky's crime.

In the thrilling tradition of  In Cold Blood,   Midnight in the 
Garden of Good and Evil and recent runaway phenoms 
Making a Murderer and  SerialThe Fact of a Body is a groundbreaking, heart stopping investigation that shows how the law is comprised of individual stories and therefore more personal than we like to imagine, and serves as proof that arriving at truth is more complicated, and powerful, than we could ever imagine.
