Mad Richard
A riveting story of talent and the price it exacts, set in a richly imagined Victorian England Called the most promising artist of his generation, handsome, modest, and affectionate, Richard Dadd rubbed shoulders with the great luminaries of the Victorian Age. He grew up along the Medway with Charles Dickens and studied at the Royal Academy Schools under the brilliant and eccentric J.M.W. Turner. Based on Dadd’s tragic true story, Mad Richard follows the young artist as he develops his craft, contemplates the nature of art and fame — as he watches Dickens navigate those tricky waters — and ultimately finds himself imprisoned in Bedlam for murder, committed as criminally insane.

Drink the Sky
In this compelling novel, a Canadian couple moves to Rio de Janeiro, each partner on a separate quest. Todd Austen is a committed environmentalist, fighting to save the lands of an Amazon tribe threatened by a sinister mining conglomerate. Holly Austen is a painter obsessed by the great voyage of Charles Darwin, who once lived only miles from her crumbling Rio house. She is also the caring mother of two young sons who finds herself constantly struggling for balance - that great ecological ideal - which also motivates her pre-occupied and increasingly endangered husband. Drink the Sky is a beautifully written, rich and evocative novel that asks some very modern questions about inheritance. What world will we bequeath our children? And what kind of childhood do we give them, as we struggle to attain our ideals?(1999)
Every Now and Then
Three young Wisconsin girls search for adventure during the summer of 1960 in this heartfelt novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark. “A memorable coming-of-age tale and suspenseful page-turner” for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing and This Tender Land (Pam Jenoff, New York Times–bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris) The summer of 1960 was the hottest ever for Summit, Wisconsin.

But for Frankie, Viv, and Biz, eleven-year-old best friends, it would forever be remembered as the summer that evil paid a visit t...

General Lesley J. McNair
George C. Marshall once called him "the brains of the army." And yet General Lesley J. McNair (1883-1944), a man so instrumental to America's military preparedness and Army modernization, remains little known today, his papers purportedly lost, destroyed by his wife in her grief at his death in Normandy. This book, the product of an abiding interest and painstaking research, restores the general Army Magazine calls one of "Marshall's forgotten men" to his rightful place in American military history. Because McNair contributed so substantially to America's war preparedness, this first complete account of his extensive and varied career also leads to a reevaluation of U.S. Army effectiveness d...

Please Pick Me
In a garden of a thousand other volumes, my little yellow book with its earnest plea and hopeful flowers on the cover sits waiting for you to pick it up. It's got a heart it wants to give away. These haikus, poems, and prose pieces are about the miracle of being wanted back by someone we want, the desperation of hoping they'll fight harder when they waver, the rawness of seeking reassurance that we are loved as we are, and the tenderness we feel when we're sending love out to others—all those moments when we are making our need to be accepted plain and praying, please pick me. This new, compact Philippine edition features the same four chapters of poetry as the original, with a little sneak peek into my in-progress collection of pandemic poems, some things don't survive. I hope you open it. I hope it invites you to be open too.
