Branigan's New York City upbringing by middle class, immigrant parents starkly contrasts with Arsalan Fattal's Lebanese childhood. The son of an Israeli mother and Irish father, Branigan was raised to honor and protect American freedom and security; raised in Lebanon by his radicalized Muslim uncle who became his adoptive father, Arsalan's mission threatened everything Branigan revered. Enter A'dab Alam a-Din. Her life was horrifically altered when she lost her twin brother during an Israeli attack on her Lebanese village.

USA TODAY bestselling author Olivia Gates introduces the first marriage-of-convenience novel in her Married by Royal Decree series. Only one thing stands between Aram Nazaryan and the high-powered position he craves: the proper wife. Although this billionaire would do anything to return to Zohayd, the desert kingdom he considers home, marrying Princess Kanza Aal Ajmaan is too high a price to pay.

In the brew are an Historic Museum Village (a Tasmanian Disneyland under an enormous glass dome), a verdant horizontal forest, the mysterious disappearance of midget child Lovelygod, anorexic teenager and later famous writer Virginia O'Day who pens letters to long-deceased Charles Dickens, a Japanese student's research paper, recipes for Heavenly Tart and Cherry Ripe Slices, information about aborigines and thylacenes.

Equally it is a celebration of the hope that continues to burn in human hearts, of delight and wonder that still abound.
