Book excerpt: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three candid, affecting memoirs by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Group, including a National Book Award finalist. In Memories of a Catholic Girlhood, Mary McCarthy begins with her recollections of a happy childhood cut tragically short by the death of her parents during the influenza epidemic of 1918. Tempering memory with invention, McCarthy describes how, orphaned at six, she spent much of her childhood shuttled between two sets of grandparents and three religions—Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. Early on, McCarthy lets the reader in on her secret: The chapter you just read may not be wholly reliable—facts have been distilled through the hazy lens of time and distance. How I Grew is McCarthy’s intensely personal autobiography of her life from age thirteen to twenty-one. With detail driven by an almost astonishing memory recall, the author gives us a masterful account of these formative years. From her wild adolescence—including losing her virginity at fourteen—through her eventual escape to Vassar, the bestselling novelist, essayist, and critic chronicles her relationships with family, friends, lovers, and the teachers who would influence her writing career. And Intellectual Memoirs opens with McCarthy as a married twenty-four-year-old Communist and critic. She’s disciplined, dedicated, and sexually experimental: At one point she realizes that in twenty-four hours she “had slept with three different men.” Over the course of three years, she will have had two husbands, the second being the esteemed, much older critic Edmund Wilson. It is Wilson who becomes McCarthy’s mentor and muse, urging her to try her hand at fiction. Intellectual Memoirs is a vivid snapshot of a distinctive place and time—New York in the late 1930s—and the forces that shaped Mary McCarthy’s life as a woman and a writer.

Book excerpt: The alumni of a senior high school class are invited to their first reunion-the 25th. Each is asked to write a biography of their life along with memories, good and bad. The 12 students attended all 12 grades together in the small rural town of Mozart, North Dakota, with 6 of the students from in town and 6 from a nearby Hutterite colony. The difference in traditions and culture posed some problems for both students and teachers. The class reunion is to be held in the converted Mozart Grade School Bed and Breakfast, is scheduled for the middle of December, and with bad weather always a risk. An unexpected 2-day blizzard snow bounds almost everyone. In the process everyone and everything comes out safe with many unresolved situations from the past being dealt with, as are unresolved romances and broken marriages. The reunion ends with several surprises. Roger Quam lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He enjoys gardening, writing, classical music, and church work. In 1963 he met Martha on a Greyhound bus and they have been happily married for forty-seven years. They have four children, two grandchildren and attend Prairie Hills Covenant Church in Sioux Falls.

In 2003 he was one of twenty navy dads invited to spend four days with their sons on the USS Michigan Trident Submarine on a Tiger Cruise. Roger has authored three novels The Road To Gambela, and The Tiger Cruise, all published by Xulon Press.

Book excerpt: Gifted biologist Mary Clare Ryan's car has plunged into the Potomac River. Nicole Ryan suspects that her sister's death was no accident but when she tries to find out what research Mary was pursuing, Mary's colleagues are evasive, even hostile. Nicole is left with nothing except Mary's plane ticket to Los Angeles and a notebook she'd given Nicole … in case anything happened to her. Fleeing Georgetown's rain-slicked cobblestones and her own stagnant life as a professor, Nicole infiltrates the West Coast medical conference where her sister was slated to speak. She learns that just before Mary died she made a major scientific breakthrough, which she had gone to great lengths to conceal. Furthermore, those who stand to profit from her discovery have now targeted Nicole as the one most likely to have been in Mary's confidence. As she seeks out the truth about her sister's death, it becomes increasingly apparent that someone is stalking Nicole, tracking her movements in the sultry shadowy California night.…
