When fate stranded them together, Anne Parker fought her attraction for roguish Brad Irving. She couldn't possibly want this scoundrel-her father's sworn enemy, breaker of hearts. Until...uh-oh! She'd just made love with the one man in the world she shouldn't have. Yet never in her life had she felt such fierce desire as she felt now for Brad. And soon a baby was on the way... Would their child be raised a Parker or an Irving? Or was this finally the truce they were looking for?

Book excerpt: “[An] exhilarating, intimate study of fate, chance and the wildly meaningful intersections of disparate lives.” —Robert Kolker, New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read Book for May 2023 The multigenerational tale of three families whose paths collide one summer night in 1960 with the murder of a police officer. Independence Day weekend, 1960: a young cop is murdered, shocking his close-knit community in Stamford, Connecticut. The killer remains at large, his identity still unknown. But on a beach not far away, a young Army doctor, on vacation from his post at a research lab in a maximum-security prison, faces a chilling realization. He knows who the shooter is. In fact, the man—a prisoner out on parole—had called him only days before. By helping his former charge and trainee, the doctor, a believer in second chances, may have inadvertently helped set the murder into motion. And with that one phone call, may have sealed a policeman’s fate. Alvin Tarlov, David Troy, and Joseph DeSalvo were all born of the Great Depression, all with grandparents who’d left different homelands for the same American Dream. How did one become a doctor, one a cop, and one a convict? In Genealogy of a Murder, journalist Lisa Belkin traces the paths of each of these three men—one of them her stepfather. Her canvas is large, spanning the first half of the 20th century: immigration, the struggles of the working class, prison reform, medical experiments, politics and war, the nature/nurture debate, epigenetics, the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, and the history of motorcycle racing. It is also intimate: a look into the workings of the mind and heart. Following these threads to their tragic outcome in July 1960, and beyond, Belkin examines the coincidences and choices that led to one fateful night. The result is a brilliantly researched, narratively ingenious story, which illuminates how we shape history even as we are shaped by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour yourself a drink and walk the gangplank into the adventures of George Jackson, a retired naval officer and master mariner. Engrossing, irreverent, and full of life, I Didn’t Make Admiral is a collection of stories told with love, self-awareness, honesty, and a great sense of humour. George comes of age on the West Coast of Canada in the 1940s, finds his English rose while serving with the British Navy, introduces their children to the freedom of the ocean and islands, and does another 27,000 nautical miles under sail in his later years. With light, lively prose, this memoir gives you a taste of the navy and family life during the twentieth century set against the backdrop of privilege, poverty, and social position. Whether he was sailing over the waves in a ship or beneath them in a submarine, George’s lifelong affair with the sea and deep appreciation of family, friends and country come through on every page. George never did make Admiral—but along the journey he learned that was never really the point.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a style the Los Angeles Times calls as "vivid and fast-moving as the music he loves," Ned Sublette's powerful new book drives the reader through the potholed, sinking streets of the United States's least-typical city. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The World That Made New Orleans, Sublette's award-winning history of the Crescent City's colonial years, he traces an arc of his own experience, from the white supremacy of segregated 1950s Louisiana through the funky year of 2004–2005--the last year New Orleans was whole. By turns irreverent, joyous, darkly comic, passionate, and polemical, The Year Before the Flood juxtaposes the city's crowded calendar of parties, festivals, and parades with the murderousness of its poverty and its legacy of racism. Along the way, Sublette opens up windows of American history that illuminate the present: the trajectory of Mardi Gras from pre–Civil War days, the falsification of Southern history in movies, the city's importance to early rock and roll, the complicated story of its housing projects, the uniqueness of its hip-hop scene, and the celebratory magnificence of the participatory parades known as second lines. With a grand, unforgettable cast of musicians and barkeeps, scholars and thugs, vibrating with the sheer excitement of New Orleans, The Year Before the Flood is an affirmation of the power of the city's culture and a heartbreaking tale of loss that definitively establishes Ned Sublette as a great American writer for the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molar pregnancies are so rare that many doctors go their entire careers without treating a single case. A woman who receives this diagnosis is set upon a roller coaster of shock, grief, and fear. In most cases she not only has miscarried or must end a pregnancy and must mourn the loss of a baby, but now she also faces an entirely unexpected fear: cancer. After her own molar pregnancy in 2001, Jennifer Wood created MyMolarPregnancy.com as a resource and support group for women with molar pregnancies and choriocarcinoma. Since then, countless women have found help and shared their own stories to help others. This book contains nearly three dozen such stories as well as information about the condition and additional resources. It is the first collection to focus entirely on the experience-the grief, the confusion, the fear, and the process of recovery-from the patients' perspectives and lets other women with this condition know that they are not alone.

Book excerpt: Can a retired naval commander and the love he left behind overcome a 34-year-old secret to find their way to a second chance? Captain Mitchell Greyson is a man who believes in duty. A bigger purpose and a thirst to prove himself took him away from his tiny Tennessee hometown--and the girl he loved--more than thirty years ago. After a distinguished career in the Navy, Grey's headed home, searching for new purpose and a glimpse at the road not traveled. At the tender age of eighteen, Rebecca Ferguson made a choice that changed her life. Since then, she's had joy, regrets, and an ugly divorce, but she never forgot the love who walked away. She definitely never expected him to move back to town more than thirty years later, or for all the sparks to still be alive. One look and Grey's all in, determined to earn a second chance at the love he left behind. The duty that took him away is over, but Rebecca doesn't know how to trust that he's home to stay, especially when the secret she's held onto all these years is closer than he thinks...and it has the potential to destroy their fragile new beginning.
