My Brilliant Friend begins in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets, Elena and Lila learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow—and as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge—they remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other. They are likewise the embodiments of a nation undergoing momentous change. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists. With My Brilliant Friend, the first in a trilogy, Ferrante has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations—a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her work.

Unbuttoning America A Biography of Peyton Place by Ardis Cameron Reader to be announced Based on extensive interviews, fan letters, and archival materials, Unbuttoning America explains how a real-life patricide in a small New England village circulated over time and became a bestselling novel, a film, and a television series. Peyton Place pushed to the surface the hidden talk and secret rebellions of a generation no longer willing to ignore the disparities and domestic constraints of Cold War America. Cameron argues that Peyton Place was an agent of change in the sexual and feminist revolutions we tend to locate in the 1960s. It was, she asserts, a story readers could literally get into and thereby helped to usher in a new normal in American life.
”Unbuttoning America is a wonderful book about a fascinating and historically significant topic…The energetic writing, with Ardis Cameron’s voice coming through on every page, makes the book lively.” —Jennifer Frost, author of Hedda Hopper’s Hollywood

SILENCE
The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise Many people embark on a seemingly futile search for happiness, running as if there is somewhere else to get to when the world they live in is full of wonder. Beauty calls to us every day, yet we rarely listen. To hear the call of beauty and respond to it, we need silence. Thich Nhat Hanh guides us on a path to cultivate calm even in the most chaotic places. Through careful breathing and mindfulness techniques, he teaches us how to become truly present in the moment and to recognize the beauty surrounding us. With mindfulness comes the silence we need to come back to ourselves and discover who we are and what we truly want—the keys to happiness and well-being. • From one of the world’s most revered and acclaimed Buddhist leaders and teachers • Author was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. • National print and online media campaign • Will appeal to fans of The Great Eight by Scott Hamilton and The Breathing Book by Donna Farhi

Madman or murderer? That was the question and it was Police Inspector Omar Collins who had come up with the answer. All he had to go on was: the victim— Earl Genneman, wealthy president of Genneman Labs; the murder weapon—a missing shotgun; the motive—unknown; the suspects—everyone!
The killer is an expert. He has climbed ten stories in the Manhattan blackout, found and dispatched his victim amidst the men and women trapped in the building. Anyone, including a beautiful secretary with a yen for eye-patched detective Tim Corrigan, could be the lurking killer.

LOSERS, WEEPERS
SHOOT THE SCENE
How could a man have been murdered when he was found alone in his study, a gun in his hand, and the door locked from the inside? It had to be suicide, the police figured. But to the man’s daughter, Ann, there were unanswered questions. Could she discover the truth before the killer silenced her, too?
Some men retire on a hundred grand … or fly to Rio for a good cup of coffee—but not Jim Morgan. Jim had a hundred thousand all right—neatly packed in stacks of fifties— only someone had made an expensive mistake. A mistake that put him on the run for his money—and his life.
Joe Maddox was one of moviedom’s most successful producers. But could he produce $200,000 in time to save his wife, his scriptwriter, and his leading lady? They didn’t know, all three were held at gunpoint in a deserted California beach house, but they’d find out, one way or another …
