  When Irene Ostendorf fires her rifle, the shot sends an out-of-town cyclist tumbling and her new pastor, J.W. "Dent" Denton, into the thorniest dilemma of his already complicated ministerial career. How can he earn the goodwill of the townsfolk, support the eccentric old shooter, and offer help to the injured young man, all at the same time? The more Dent tries to do the right thing, the further he stumbles into a minefield of small-town secrets that everyone—especially the president of the local Last Man Club—seems hell-bent on preserving. 
  While Dent digs deeper into the town's past and his own failed marriage, Ashley, a young college student with a curious tattoo, wrestles with a secret that threatens to expose her and tear her loved ones apart. But when a teenaged waitress named Maya disappears into a winter storm, Dent and Ashley find themselves on a collision course with their pasts—one that will end in an inescapable choice. 
  Keep their secrets, or save Maya.

  Escape to the seaside village of Little Pondale with Parts One and Two of this heart-warming and romantic, four-part serial. Mia Ward is amazed to learn she has inherited her great-aunt Matilda's thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale – especially as Mia didn't know she had a great-aunt. She's even more astonished to discover she'll only inherit the place if she actually lives there for one year. Mia's a city girl at heart, not to mention she's afraid of water, so the fact the cottage backs onto a sandy beach, is not a bonus. When her best friend, Ella and Ella's brother, Garrick offer to help her move and settle in, Mia decides to see this as a new beginning. It may also be the start of an exciting adventure because now Mia wants to know just who, exactly, was great-aunt Matilda. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to make sure Mia doesn't stay in Little Pondale….“The kind of book that will capture your heart, make you laugh and just imagine how life in that village is…” JESS BOOKISH LIFE

  A new collection of hilarious, intergenerational anecdotes full of absurd detail about everyday experiences of racism from the New York Times bestselling authors of You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey, comedian Amber Ruffin and her sister Lacey.Families may not always see eye to eye; we get on each other’s nerves, have different perspectives and lives—especially when we consider how we've grown up in different generations. But for the Ruffin family and many others, there has been one constant that connects them: racism hasn’t gone anywhere.From her raucous musical numbers to turning upsetting news into laughs as the host of The Amber Ruffin Show or in her Late Night with Seth Meyers segments, Amber is no stranger to finding the funny wherever she looks. With equal parts heart and humor, she and her sister Lacey Lamar shared some of the eye-opening and outrageous experiences Lacey had faced in Nebraska in their first book. Now, the dynamic duo makes it clear—Lacey isn’t the only one in the family with ridiculous encounters to share! Amber and Lacey have many more uproarious stories, both from their own lives and the entire Ruffin family.Recounting the wildest tales of racism from their parents, their siblings, and Amber’s nieces and nephews, this intergenerational look at ludicrous (but all too believable) everyday racism as experienced across age, gender, and appearance will have you gasping with shock and laughter in turn. Validating for anyone who has first-hand experience, and revealing for anyone who doesn’t, Amber and Lacey’s next book helps us all find the absurdity in the pervasive frustrations of racism. Illuminating and packed with love and laughter, this is a must-read for just about everyone.
