  A road trip, a misguided girl with dangerous habits, and a target on the loose. One trip to Vegas can change it all for two people on opposite sides of the spectrum. 
  Aalyah "Lyah" Artisan is your typical wild child. Running away from home with no form of ambition or sense of direction, she tends to follow no rules but her own as a cunning petty thief. On her latest attempt, she finds herself in a bit of a jam when she’s left facing the barrel of a gun for robbing the wrong target. While on the run, Lyah faces tough decisions as she battles her emotions and the consequences of her actions. 
  Picture-perfect Keith Hayden has only one thing on his mind—stopping his ex-girlfriend Tally from getting married. The problem is he’s on a time limit, and he needs to get to her—fast. Way across the country, Keith decides to throw caution to the wind and embark on what was supposed to be a solo journey to show Tally that she is making the biggest mistake of her life in Vegas. But his plan doesn’t fall into place when forced to take Lyah on his expedition after their unfortunate meeting. 
  As they knock heads, the two must overcome their differences to get to the other side of the country in time before it’s too late for them both. And they can’t do it alone.

  Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help—but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably. 
   
   
   
  There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime—with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! 
   
   
   
  Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one—not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.

  An honest, humorous, and refreshing look back on the experiences of a unique generation and the challenges of growing older in the digital age.Musings of a Baby Boomer: Life Before X, Y, and Z is a collection of selected shorts from Hoflander’s weekly newspaper column “Full Circle,” featuring sometimes funny and sometimes philosophical stories with a continuous theme: the reluctant, but generally happy, aging of the Baby Boomer generation. In this collection, Hoflander tells stories about everything from yard flamingos and college move-in day to battling internet bots. She reflects on the simpler times of her childhood and addresses present-day changes to which, as a baby boomer, she adapts: memory loss, evolving technology, and politics. Through it all, she uses humor and wit to remind readers not to take life too seriously—and to focus on the things that really matter.“This book entails family, friends, and wisdom from the perspective of the baby boomer generation! A great read for all! Delightful.” —Teresa Parson, First Lady of Missouri“America needs healing, and instead of destroying our history, perhaps musings from those who have been part of history can provide a way forward. That is what Kay Hoflander's book offers.” —Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (US Army, Retired), Member, 112th U.S. Congress, Former Chairman, Republican Party of Texas“Hoflander has the magical skills to hit upon daily life with humor and understanding . . . For younger readers, this book just may help you better understand your parents or grandparents. It is a book for all generations to enjoy.” —Suzanne Skelly, University of Missouri Graduate Educator, Realtor, Genealogist and life-long Bibliophile
