SUMMARY:Samuel G. Freedman reads from his latest Breaking the Line
DESCRIPTION:1967. TWO RIVAL FOOTBALL TEAMS. TWO LEGENDARY COACHES. TWO STAR QUARTERBACKS. TOGETHER THEY BROKE THE COLOR L INE\, REVOLUTIONIZED COLLEGE SPORTS\, AND TRANSFORMED THE NFL. \nIn September 1967\, after three years of landmark civil rights laws and three months of devastating urban riots\, the football season began at Louisiana’s Grambling College and Florida A&M. The teams were led by two extraordinary coaches\, Eddie Robinson and Jake Gaither\, and they featured the best quarterbacks ever at each school\, James Harris and Ken Riley. \nBreaking the Line brings to life the historic saga of the battle for the 1967 black college championship\, culminating in a riveting\, excruciatingly close contest. Samuel G. Freedman traces the rise of these four leaders and their teammates as they storm through the season. Together they helped compel the segre­gated colleges of the South to integrate their teams and redefined who could play quarterback in the NFL\, who could be a head coach\, and who could run a franchise as general manager. \nIn Breaking the Line\, Freedman brilliantly tells this suspenseful story of character and talent as he takes us from locker room to state capitol\, from embattled campus to packed stadium. He captures a pivotal time in American sport and society\, filling a missing and crucial chapter in the movement for civil rights.

SUMMARY:Dr. Brendan Reilly reads from his debut One Doctor
DESCRIPTION:An epic story told by a unique voice in American medicine\, One Doctor describes life-changing experiences in the career of a distinguished physician. \nIn riveting first-person prose\, Dr. Brendan Reilly takes us to the front lines of medicine today. Whipsawed by daily crises and frustrations\, Reilly must deal with several daunting challenges simultaneously: the extraordinary patients under his care on the teeming wards of a renowned teaching hospital; the life-threatening illnesses of both of his ninety-year-old parents; and the tragic memory of a cold case from long ago that haunts him still. As Reilly’s patients and their families survive close calls\, struggle with heartrending decisions\, and confront the limits of medicine’s power to cure\, One Doctor lays bare a fragmented\, depersonalized\, business-driven health-care system where real caring is hard to find. Every day\, Reilly sees patients who fall through the cracks and suffer harm because they lack one doctor who knows them well and relentlessly advocates for their best interests. \nFilled with fascinating characters in New York City and rural New England—people with dark secrets\, mysterious illnesses\, impossible dreams\, and many kinds of courage—One Doctor tells their stories with sensitivity and empathy\, reminding us of professional values once held dear by all physicians. But medicine has changed enormously during Reilly’s career\, for both better and worse\, and One Doctor is a cautionary tale about those changes. It is also a hopeful\, inspiring account of medicine’s potential to improve people’s lives\, Reilly’s quest to understand the “truth” about doctoring\, and a moving testament to the difference one doctor can make.

SUMMARY:Kate Manning reads from her new novel My Notorious Life
DESCRIPTION:This sweeping\, evocative\, and absolutely unforgettable novel about the charismatic and passionate Axie Muldoon who changed the lives of countless women was inspired by a real midwife who became one of the most controversial figures in Victorian New York City. \nSet in gritty New York City in the last half of the nineteenth century\, My Notorious Life is a vibrant portrait of Axie Muldoon\, a plucky orphan who becomes one of the most successful—and controversial—midwives of her time. Told in a magnetic voice\, pulsing and vivid\, Axie recounts how she is separated from her mother and siblings\, apprenticed to a doctor and midwife\, and how she later parlays the sale of a few bottles of “lunar tonic for female complaints” into a thriving midwifery practice with her husband and fellow orphan friend\, Charles G. Jones. But Axie is on a collision course with one of the most zealous\, censorious characters of her era: Anthony Comstock\, founder of the Society for the Suppression of Vice\, and it will take all of Axie’s power to outwit him and save both herself and her family from ruin. \nA love story\, a family saga\, and a brilliant rendering of a historical time\, this is also a moving and nuanced commentary on an important topic: women’s control of their bodies. But ultimately\, it is the story of one woman making her indomitable way in a difficult world; with her fierce and vibrant spirit\, Axie Muldoon is an indelible heroine for the ages.

SUMMARY:Emily Liebert reads from her debut novel You Knew Me When
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Hill left her small New England hometown in pursuit of a dream. Now\, twelve years later\, she’s a high-powered cosmetics executive in Manhattan and a much glossier version of her former self\, unrecognizable to her family and old friends. Not that she would know—she hasn’t been home in over a decade. \nLaney Marten always swore she’d never get “stuck” in Manchester\, Vermont. No\, she was destined to live out her glamorous big-city dreams. Instead\, she wound up a young wife and mother. That was when her best friend ran out. \nWhen Katherine receives word of an inheritance from former neighbor Luella Hancock\, she reluctantly returns home to the people and places she left behind. Hoping for a second chance\, she’s met by an unforgiving Laney\, her former best friend. And there’s someone else who’s moved on without her—someone she once loved. \nTethered to their shared inheritance of Luella’s sprawling Victorian mansion\, Katherine and Laney are forced to address their long-standing grudges. Through this\, they come to understand that while life has taken them in different directions\, ultimately the bonds of friendship and sisterhood still bind them together. But are some wounds too old and deep to mend?

SUMMARY:Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus read from their latest The First Affair
DESCRIPTION:Jamie McAlister has resigned herself to the fact that in this job market\, her painfully expensive degree might only get her a position at Starbucks\, when she suddenly lands a prestigious internship at the White House. Although she doesn’t hit it off with the other interns—lockjaws who come from so much money that ten weeks without a paycheck doesn’t faze them—she is eager to work hard and make the best of the opportunity while it lasts. An unexpected encounter late one evening with the charismatic President Gregory Rutland seems like just a fleeting flirtation\, but when he orchestrates clandestine meetings and late-night phone calls\, their relationship quickly escalates. Jamie knows what she is doing is wrong: he’s married\, he has kids\, he’s the President. Yet each time she tries to extricate herself\, Greg pulls her back in. With the conflicted desires of the most powerful man in the world driving her to her breaking point\, Jamie can’t help but divulge intimate details to those closest to her. But she must have confided in the wrong person\, because she soon finds herself\, and everyone she cares about\, facing calculated public destruction at the hands of Greg’s political enemies\, and—perhaps no matter how much he cares about her—at the hands of Greg himself. \nEmma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus arethe New York Times bestselling authors of The Nanny Diaries\, Citizen Girl\, Dedication\, Nanny Returns\, and their young adult novels\, The Real Real and Over You. They work together in New York City. For more information visit EmmaAndNicola.com.

SUMMARY:Ann Fensterstock reads from her debut Art on the Block
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating tour of the last five decades of contemporary art in New York City\, showing how artists are catalysts of gentrification and how neighborhoods in turn shape their art—with special insights into the work of artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Cindy Sherman\, and Jeff Koons \nStories of New York City’s fabled art scene conjure up artists’ lofts in SoHo\, studios in Brooklyn\, and block after block of galleries in Chelsea. But today\, no artist can afford a SoHo loft\, Brooklyn has long gentrified\, and even the galleries of Chelsea are beginning to move on. Art on the Block takes the reader on a journey through the neighborhoods that shape\, and are shaped by\, New York’s ever-evolving art world. Based on interviews with over 150 gallery directors\, as well as the artists themselves\, art historian and cultural commentator Ann Fensterstock explores the genesis\, expansion\, maturation and ultimate restless migration of the New York art world from one initially undiscovered neighborhood to the next. \nOpening with the colonization of the desolate South Houston Industrial District in the late 1960s\, the book follows the art world’s subsequent elopements to the East Village in the ‘80s\, Brooklyn in the mid-90s\, Chelsea at the beginning of the new millennium and\, most recently\, to the Lower East Side. With a look to the newest neighborhoods that artists are just now beginning to occupy\, this is a must-read for both art enthusiasts as well as anyone with a passion for New York City.
