  The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is a landmark novel of the 20th century that captures the disillusionment and aimlessness of the post–World War I generation, often referred to as the "Lost Generation." The story follows Jake Barnes, an American journalist living in Paris, and his circle of expatriate friends—including the charismatic and troubled Lady Brett Ashley—as they travel from the cafés of Montparnasse to the bullfighting arenas of Pamplona. With Hemingway's signature sparse prose and understated emotional depth, the novel explores themes of love, identity, masculinity, and the quest for meaning in a world forever changed by war. A poignant reflection on human resilience and vulnerability, this novel remains one of Hemingway’s most enduring and influential works.

  Fresh from her harrowing escape from the madhouse on Blackwell's Island, undercover reporter Nellie Bly receives a letter that launches her next crusading investigation—what becomes of unwanted children in Victorian New York?

  Based on real events, Bly's own reporting, and actual letters left with orphans, this heartrending story follows Nellie Bly as she struggles to answer a single, devastating question: "What becomes of babies?" 
  Praise for What Girls Are Good For: 
  "David Blixt pens a heroine for the ages! A pint-sized dynamo who refuses to stay in the kitchen, Nellie fights tooth and nail to make a name for herself as a journalist, battling complacent men, corrupt institutions, and her own demons along the way. This real-life Lois Lane had me cheering aloud as I turned the pages—simply a delight!" - Kate Quinn, The Alice Network
