New York Times–Bestselling Author: “Emotional depth is seared into every page along with wry banter, bringing readers to tears and smiles.” —Library Journal (starred review) Ainsley O’Leary is so ready to get married—she’s even found the engagement ring her boyfriend has stashed away. What she doesn’t anticipate, after eleven years together during which she nursed him through cancer, is being blindsided by a breakup that he chronicles in a blog . . . which (of course) goes viral. Devastated and humiliated, Ainsley moves in with her older half sister, Kate, who’s struggling with a sudden loss of her own in upstate New York. Kate’s always been the poised, self-assured sister, but becoming a newlywed—and a widow—in the space of four months overwhelms her. Though the sisters were never close, she starts to confide in Ainsley, especially when she learns her late husband was keeping a secret from her. Despite the murky blended-family dynamic that’s always separated them, Ainsley’s and Kate’s heartaches will bind their summer together as they come to terms with the inevitable imperfection of relationships and family—and the possibility of one day finding love again . . . . “Higgins’s page-turner highlights both the complexity of family relationships and the intense power of love.” —Publishers Weekly “A captivating read about two sisters dealing with love, loss and new beginnings. What sets this book apart is how one event changes both women’s lives. Kate is refreshingly frank in her inner monologue, and Ainsley is charmingly self-aware and wry.” —RT Book Reviews, 5 stars (Top Pick) “Higgins’ complex, witty characters will seem like close friends, and readers will savor each and every page . . . [Higgins is a] women’s-fiction star.” —Booklist (starred review)

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

American Leftovers is the story of Heidi, Eric, and Shaun, three children who follow their parents through eastern Europe on Bible-smuggling adventures in the early 1970s. When they return to the States, they face third-culture questions of home and identity. They also deal with sexual situations and abuse, while settling into an evangelical bubble with their parents who pastor a fast-growing church. Everything collapses when their father runs off with an eighteen-year-old girl, leaving behind his family and church. This forces Heidi, Eric, and Shaun to reconcile their own spiritual fervor with the lies and dysfunction so close to home.

Becoming Free Have you ever dreamed of just clearing your desk, packing up your life and heading across Europe into the sunset for an adventure, not knowing where it’s going to take you? Well, Kay did just that. She was maybe naïve, but she was determined to follow her dream of living free. After being made redundant from the fifth largest employer in the world, she made that jump into the unknown, knowing that she couldn’t stay on these shores any more. We join her in a real-time journey of adventure, self-discovery and awakening as she as she escapes to an old friend’s yoga retreat in rural Portugal. We meet the characters she encounters along the way, all leading an alternative lifestyle outside the normal social order. And for a while, she too is part of this. But what brought her back to the UK so soon, to re-enter the society she had fled on six months earlier, and from which she had been so desperate to escape? A week before Christmas, she finds herself back, in sub-zero temperatures, to a homecoming not fit for a fairytale. Back in the rat race she had left behind, stripped of all material possessions and with no home or job to fall back on. But with the compassion of friends and the kindness of strangers, she started to rebuild her life. Then God dealt her a blow that would change her life forever. And out of the fear came hope. The fairytale had to end happily ever after, now!

A few weeks ago, my brother and I found our mother, the criminal chaos witch, locked in a cage under the control of one of the most powerful supernaturals in the Greater Atlanta area. The rescue brought me and Nick closer, though not without consequence: by order of the Council, Mom now resides in the official custody of my almost boyfriend, the alpha of the Crossville werewolf pack. I'm still grappling with Mom's abandonment, let alone her unexpected reappearance...especially when she may be connected to the ritual zealots, a secretive group so ruthlessly dangerous, other supernaturals are terrified of discussing them. Now, a witch has been murdered just miles from the alpha's house, and my former partner at the Crossville PD wants to hire me as a consultant on the case. There's just one problem: another witch is the killer. And the best suspect may be someone I love.
