SUMMARY:Jamie Saul reads from The First Warm Evening of the Year
DESCRIPTION:“The first time I saw Marian Ballantine she looked like a burst of bittersweet among the winter branches . . .” \nAnd so begins a tale of love lost and found\, the rekindling of a passion for life that two people discover with each other\, and the complex dynamics of family and friendship. \nGeoffrey Tremont is untroubled by his neat\, contented bachelor life in bustling New York City\, filled with sophisticated friends\, an undemanding lover devoted to her own career\, and his wise brother\, a psychiatrist who is the only one who sees and understands him completely—just the way Geoffrey wants it. On an ordinary day\, Geoffrey arrives home to find a letter awaiting him with a postmark from an unfamiliar town: Shady Grove\, New York. An old friend has named him the executor of her estate. Twenty years ago\, in college\, Geoffrey and Laura Welles had been each other’s confidant; as their lives diverged\, they went their separate ways. Now\, she’s reached out of the past to ask him a final favor. Laura’s death has also brought her brother\, Simon\, to Geoffrey’s doorstep. With his sister gone\, Simon has no one but her old friend Geoffrey with whom to settle past grievances. \nWith Simon in tow\, Geoffrey travels up to Laura’s hometown—the place she chose to live her final years—where he meets Marian Ballantine. A widow living in the shadow of an idyllic marriage\, and now grieving the loss of her best friend\, Marian knows a lot about Geoffrey. Laura often spoke of him\, she tells him\, and though he’s flattered\, he’s also thrown off balance. From the moment he first sees her\, Geoffrey instinctively knows this attractive\, plainspoken woman has the power to upend his cool\, compartmentalized life. What Marian knows is that life comes with no guarantees\, no promises of lasting happiness\, and although she finds herself unsettled by this persistent\, compelling man\, she’s unwilling to trade her hard-won\, quotidian existence for an indefinite future. Faced with the decision to embrace the unknown or retreat to the safety of the familiar\, they will both have to discover the courage it takes to tumble into the abyss of love. \nThe First Warm Evening of the Year is a gripping and evocative novel that resonates on every page with the joys and pains of being alive. It is a novel that more than satisfies the promise of the author’s debut\, Light of Day\, about which the Indianapolis Star said\, “Saul’s ability to create deep and interesting characters is a strength that no doubt will surface time and again in future works\,” and prompted Bookreporter.com to praise Saul’s “sensitivity and rare understanding of the human psyche.” \n

SUMMARY:Rebecca Land Soodak reads from Henny on the Couch
DESCRIPTION:Kara Caine Lawson has worked hard to become the woman she is-wife\, mother and successful shop owner. Having survived a turbulent childhood\, Kara understands that life could’ve just as easily gone another way . . . and even if she isn’t gliding through the trials of lost library books\, entitled customers and routine date nights\, at least she’s not sipping a Dewar’s all day like her mother did. \nBut then Kara unexpectedly encounters paintings by her now-famous college boyfriend just as she’s beginning to suspect that her daughter Henny’s difficulties may be the sign of something serious\, and all of her past decisions are thrown into dramatic relief.

SUMMARY:Paul Grossman reads from Children of Wrath
DESCRIPTION:Willi Kraus\, the celebrated WWI detective\, returns in this prequel story about how he became the most famous Jewish Detective in Germany in the days of the Weimar Republic. \nIn Children of Wrath Willi Kraus tackles the case of the Kinderfresser\, the vicious Child-Eater of Berlin.  Turning the clock back two years from The Sleepwalkers\, the story starts out in the fall of 1929\, the last days of prosperity.  Berlin is deep in the throes of a giddy rush to forget its troubled past.  But the same day the stock market crashes in New York\, the dark underside of the German capital flushes to the surface in the form of a burlap sack spewed by floodwaters from the city sewer system.  When Willi is called to investigate and discovers the sack is full of children’s bones with teeth marks on them–and a bible with a single phrase circled in red: children of wrath–he fears he’s run into “something darker than he’s ever known.” \n

SUMMARY:Growing up Patton: Reflections on Heroes\, History\, and Family Wisdom by Benjamin Patton
DESCRIPTION:This unique memoir by the grandson of General George S. Patton Jr. offers a rare and intimate look into the life of the legendary man and the legacy he passed down from one generation to the next. It includes never before published letters between General George S. Patton and his son during WWII\, as well as never before published family photographs. \nThe grandson of the iconic World War II general George S. Patton Jr.\, documentary filmmaker Benjamin Patton explores his family legacy and shares the inspirational wit and wisdom that his grandfather bestowed upon his only son and namesake. \nIn revealing personal correspondence written between 1939 and 1945\, General Patton Jr. espoused his ideals to Benjamin’s father\, then a cadet at West Point. Dispensing advice on duty\, heroism and honor with the same candor he used ordering the Third Army across Europe\, the letters show Patton to be as dynamic a parent as a military commander. \nFollowing in those famous footsteps\, Benjamin’s father became a respected and decorated hero of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Ironically\, as he rose to Major General\, he also proved himself just as brave\, flamboyant\, flawed and inspiring as his father had been. \nA study of a great American original\, Growing Up Patton features some of the pivotal figures in Benjamin’s father’s life\, including Creighton Abrams\, the WWII hero who became his greatest mentor; Charley Watkins\, a daredevil helicopter pilot in Vietnam; Manfred Rommel\, the son of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel; Joanne Patton\, the author’s mother and a resourceful fighter in her own right; and Benjamin’s mentally challenged brother\, George. Growing Up Patton explores how the Patton cultural legacy lives on\, and in the end\, reveals how knowing the history of our heritage-famous or not-can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

SUMMARY:Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman
DESCRIPTION:In the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape\, Unorthodox is a captivating story about a young woman determined to live her own life at any cost. \nThe Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism is as mysterious as it is intriguing to outsiders. In this arresting memoir\, Deborah Feldman reveals what life is like trapped within a religious tradition that values silence and suffering over individual freedoms. \nThe child of a mentally disabled father and a mother who abandoned the community while her daughter was still a toddler\, Deborah was raised by her strictly religious grandparents\, Bubby and Zeidy. Along with a rotating cast of aunts and uncles\, they enforced customs with a relentless emphasis on rules that governed everything from what Deborah could wear and to whom she could speak\, to what she was allowed to read. As she grew from an inquisitive little girl to an independent-minded young woman\, stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life. She had no idea how to seize this dream that seemed to beckon to her from the skyscrapers of Manhattan\, but she was determined to find a way. The tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until\, at the age of seventeen\, she found herself trapped in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she had met for only thirty minutes before they became engaged. As a result\, she experienced debilitating anxiety that was exacerbated by the public shame of having failed to immediately consummate her marriage and thus serve her husband. But it wasn’t until she had a child at nineteen that Deborah realized more than just her own future was at stake\, and that\, regardless of the obstacles\, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.

SUMMARY:A reading by Diane Williams\, author of Vicky Swanky is a Beauty
DESCRIPTION:“Let’s hear it for the magnificent Diane Williams\, one the wittiest and most exacting writers of our time. Her fictions are fervid endorsements of terrible\, joyous life. But that’s not quite right\, because like all great literature\, they are life. Well\, you figure it out. All I know is that this book is an amazement\, composed with a stricture that guarantees splendor.” ~Sam Lipsyte

SUMMARY:A reading by David Hanna\, author of Knights of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:In Knights of the Sea\, David Hanna brings to vivid life a lost era-a time when sailing vessels exchanged broadsides and naval officers considered it the highest honor to harness the wind to meet their foes. This history pays tribute to the young commanders on either side\, a vanishing breed who would come to be standard bearers of courage and fortitude\, and would be immortalized in words by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
