Teach the hot, brainy doctor how to flirt and please a man? Easy. Walk away unchanged at the end of it? That’s another story… I’ve lived my whole life in my older brother’s shadow, happy to play the part of the carefree good ol’ boy—drinking, carousing, and living life with no strings attached. Now it’s time for something real; something I can build and be proud of. I want to expand our ranch and take on the management of a new division. But no one is ready to take me seriously and give me the chance I need. When I run into Dr. Caroline Cressley at the local bar, she’s gorgeous and confident—nothing like the meek little bookworm she was in high school. She’s blossomed in other ways too, and don’t think I didn’t notice. Except she’s not as experienced in some areas as she’d like. And apparently I’m the perfect tutor to get her all caught up. When she asks me for help learning about the, ah, finer ways of seduction, I can’t believe my luck. Not only do I get to play around with this gorgeous woman for a few weeks, but it’s the perfect arrangement to get my brother off my back. With the well-respected town doctor on my arm, he’ll finally realize I’m settling down and ready to take life more seriously. I just never expected to develop feelings. Real ones. Because as different as we are, Caroline’s body and soul fit next to me like a missing puzzle piece. And the more time we spend together, the harder it will be to say goodbye…

With this Dickensian tale from America’s heartland, New York Times writer and columnist Dan Barry tells the harrowing yet uplifting story of the exploitation and abuse of a resilient group of men with intellectual disability, and the heroic efforts of those who helped them to find justice and reclaim their lives. In the tiny Iowa farm town of Atalissa, dozens of men, all with intellectual disability and all from Texas, lived in an old schoolhouse. Before dawn each morning, they were bussed to a nearby processing plant, where they eviscerated turkeys in return for food, lodging, and $65 a month. They lived in near servitude for more than thirty years, enduring increasing neglect, exploitation, and physical and emotional abuse—until state social workers, local journalists, and one tenacious labor lawyer helped these men achieve freedom. Drawing on exhaustive interviews, Dan Barry dives deeply into the lives of the men, recording their memories of suffering, loneliness and fleeting joy, as well as the undying hope they maintained despite their traumatic circumstances. Barry explores how a small Iowa town remained oblivious to the plight of these men, analyzes the many causes for such profound and chronic negligence, and lays out the impact of the men’s dramatic court case, which has spurred advocates—including President Obama—to push for just pay and improved working conditions for people living with disabilities. A luminous work of social justice, told with compassion and compelling detail, The Boys in the Bunkhouse is more than just inspired storytelling. It is a clarion call for a vigilance that ensures inclusion and dignity for all.

Saving the king was Lara’s first mistake. Her second? Looking up from her book and getting stuck as a spy. Lara reads to escape her dead-end life as a scullery grunt. Before boredom can finish killing her slowly, she discovers (and foils) a secret plot to murder the king. Recognizing talent when they see it, the monarchs express their gratitude by plopping Lara into spy training. Spying, however, is not as fun as one might expect, even with her trainer’s sense of humor and fascinating eyes as a distraction. There are hours of lessons in stealth combat, code-breaking, and dragon care. Then there’s all that nonsense about learning how to operate as part of a team. Especially aggravating are the physical aspects that all seem to require sweating. Lara’s used to being the smartest one in the room, and should be the best. But being the best means putting down her book and risking the potential of real danger. Or worse, failure. Can Lara master her fears to become a spy, or should she return to her lair under a pile of books and ignore the danger threatening the kingdom? Over the Edge is a new adult fantasy with a clean romantic subplot and mild cliffhanger. It is the first book of the Magpie Network Series.
