The Opening, a heart tugging story of long lasting friendships, high flying dreams, and perilous loves, reads like a weekend with your best friends. Lucy discovers a prediction that she wrote over thirty years ago about herself and five high school girl friends. Her decision to find these friends and bring them together again opens both a treasure-trove of good memories and a Pandora’s box of troubles, self-doubts, and recriminations. In spite of being told as young women that they could have it all, these friends had to struggle with difficult decisions that still haunt them. Like them, you may have had to choose between your job and your sense of what is right. By making these choices, women—like Lucy and her friends—have made their destinies. They have had not just one coming-of-age but several. The Opening will open windows on your life and memories and will redefine the heroine. She is probably you.
Love Affair in the Garden of Milton interweaves the private story of a marriage coming apart with readings of John Milton’s poetry and prose. Connected essays chart the chaos of loss and the discovery of how a writer can inhabit our emotional as well as our intellectual selves. Inflected by the principles of mindfulness, Susannah B. Mintz’s memoir explores how we reconstruct ourselves and find our way back to meaning in the aftermath of trauma. Formally inventive and engaging dynamic philosophical ideas, Love Affair in the Garden of Milton raises questions of forgiveness, desire, identity, grief, and the counterintuitive relevance of literary tradition. This lyric memoir offers readers a sense of partnership, with the author and Milton as companionable guides through the wilds of love and loss.

When a bomb explodes inside a Houston high-rise and the governor of Texas goes missing in the ensuing melee, former army ranger Jack "Kell" Kellison and the Omega Force counterterrorism team are called into action. Their mission: infiltrate the activist group suspected of masterminding the bombing, neutralize the threat, and recover the hostage. Yet within moments of meeting his prime suspect, beautiful environmentalist Mori Chastaine, Kell knows she's innocent of the bombing--but definitely guilty of something. Mori has a secret, one she is desperate to hide from Kell and the rest of the world--a secret that binds her to a primal power hungry to assure its future, even at the cost of thousands of innocent human lives. If Mori dares to reveal her true identity, will Kell join her fight? Or will she become his next target?
