Salt Lake City, 1881: Brigid Reardon is again on the case when her new employer--a leader in the Church of Latter-day Saints--is murdered in his home

Still reeling from the violence she encountered in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Brigid Reardon presses on alone to Salt Lake City, where she decides to settle down in what she hopes is a safe community. Things look promising when she's hired to work at the Deseret Bookstore and offered a room in the home of her employer, Mr. Cutter, a high-ranking member of the Church of Latter-day Saints, and his five wives.

Despite Brigid's conflicting feelings about polygamy, she finds the Cutter wives warm and welcoming, and she thinks she may finally be happy here. As she settles in, Brigid learns that Mr. Cutter wants yet another wife, and he is set on Amelia, the daughter of one of his wives from a previous marriage. When Mr. Cutter is found apparently murdered in the women's sewing room, each of the wives (plus Amelia and Mr. Cutter's son) is a suspect, and Brigid knows it's up to her to figure out just who did it. As she continues to work in the bookstore and live with the grieving family, Brigid teams up with the local coroner to investigate--and with her undeniable knack for detection, it's not long before she discovers a telltale clue.

A Wasp in the Beehive continues Brigid's trek west in the United States after immigrating from Ireland with her brother, following her time in Deadwood, South Dakota, in The Streel and in Cheyenne in The Big Sugar. But with everything that has happened, will she stay in Salt Lake City, or will she move on again?

A poignant resource for helping children and families through the loss of a sibling

Salome was going to be a big sister. Her brother, Gerald, told her so. They watched Mama's tummy grow rounder and rounder, and their excitement grew, too. But then Mama went to the hospital, and she came home without a baby. The smiles stopped, and the house grew quiet except for Mama's tears.

"Where is my sister?" Salome asks. Mama gathers her and Gerald onto her lap and tells them that baby Toni is in the cemetery, but she'll always be their sister. Gerald says that she's in the spirit world. Salome looks for her all over. Is Toni's spirit in Mama's tears? Is she in the family's stories about her? Is she between Salome and her brother at the dinner table, or beside Salome's favorite tree in the backyard? As her family begins to find peace, Salome understands something important: "My sister is everywhere."

In Where Is My Sister? Shannon Gibney's poetic voice captures the heartbreak of losing an infant and the love that joins family members together. Huy Voun Lee's tender illustrations guide readers with quiet grace, honoring all those who passed from this world too soon. A resource for children and the parents, teachers, and community members who care for them, this book offers a powerful reflection for those who often feel alone during the painful and transformative experience of infant and sibling loss.

Since the late 1960s, Jane Fonda has identified as an activist first and an actor second, using her celebrity as a vehicle to convey her views and her advocacy. Few stars of her stature have been as simultaneously acclaimed and vilified as Fonda. Even as she won two Academy Awards and was a major box office draw of the 1970s and 1980s, she received reams of hate mail for her political activism and antiwar stances. This book explores Fonda's devotion to movement politics--sometimes at the expense of her career and her personal safety.

Digging deep into rare material from cinema archives and Fonda's own personal papers, journalist Marilyn Greenwald tells the story of how Fonda came to view acting as a "side gig" that gives her a worldwide platform to convey her personal and political views. Charting the evolution of her activism and the merging of her acting and producing with her advocacy, Greenwald focuses on the years from 1968--when she was jarred out of complacency by the Vietnam War--to 1980, after the release of The China Syndrome and the advent of the Three Mile Island nuclear crisis, which brought to light the possible dangers of nuclear energy. Greenwald details how three of her films--Klute (1971), Coming Home (1978), and The China Syndrome (1979)--were designed to further her personal beliefs. She also considers how Fonda has weathered changes in the entertainment industry and public tastes to produce and star in decades' worth of socially conscious projects. Charting Fonda's personal and professional growth while offering a candid account of her struggles, this book shows how Fonda viewed movies as an influential storytelling tool that can influence public opinion, change minds, and trigger social change.

A bold critique of conventional economics that reveals why the time and money we devote to care work is vital to our economic future.

Our economy is much bigger than the dollar value of things we buy and sell. It depends on us--our health, our creativity, and our moral commitments. These capabilities don't have price tags but are crucial to a sustainable future. We need to acknowledge and reward the value of caring for ourselves and others, especially our children, our elderly, and those experiencing illness or disability.

From leading feminist economist Nancy Folbre, Making Care Work provides a compelling historical and economic account of care provision in the United States. Folbre traces the long and colorful history of resistance to bogus claims that only paid work "counts" and that employees in care services are always paid what they deserve. Explaining why care providers remain economically vulnerable today, she argues that more attention to the public benefits of care provision could help build the political coalitions needed to implement policies that put people first.

In this comprehensive and bold book, Folbre upends conventional economic thinking and maps a hopeful path toward a more equitable and sustainable economy.

In a treehouse by the sea, a grandfather shares the story of how he kept his dreams alive with thoughts of his future grandchild--who is his most precious dream of all.

Hope takes flight in this tender picture book by author Karina Iceberg (Aleut-Alutiiq), and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Kalapuya/Chinook), who share a story of Native resilience with a conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that soars into a message of love that spans generations--both those past and to come.

Peter Ackroyd's compelling portrait of W. H. Auden, poet of a restless century.

Of all the English poets born in the twentieth century, Wystan Hugh Auden is by far the most significant. This critical biography explores the evolution of his poetic voice in tandem with his shifting beliefs--existentialism, Marxism, Freudianism, and Anglo-Catholicism--reflecting the intellectual climate of the century. Rooted in English traditions, Auden's work reveals both public and personal histories, from the Depression and Spanish Civil War to his experiences as a gay man navigating repression and later liberation. The book traces his journeys from Oxford to Berlin, China, and America, bringing to life his turbulent era and the inner conflicts of his long relationship with Chester Kallman. This insightful and compelling account by acclaimed historian Peter Ackroyd captures Auden's genius as both a historical witness and an enduring poetic voice.

A personal account by a war historian and adoptee who discovers his biological father was a famous Marine combat photographer in Vietnam.

Robert K. Brigham has had a substantial career as a historian of the Vietnam War, with a hand in nine books, a documentary, public history projects, and more. While many a historian has felt compelled at some point to write about a subject close to them personally, Brigham did not think he was doing that. But, at age fifty-eight, Brigham, who had long known he was adopted, discovered that he'd improbably and unknowingly been studying and talking about his biological father for decades. That man, Bruce Atwell, was a Marine Corps photographer who took some of that war's most indelible and widely reproduced pictures. Brigham had used those images over and over again in decades' worth of classes and public lectures, never knowing the truth.

Both Brigham and Atwell were products of the American foster care and adoption system, and both were defined professionally by Vietnam. In a story shot through with echoes and shadows, Brigham not only reveals his own history as an adoptee but opens a startlingly fresh vantage on the fragility of American families; the power of social norms and taboos to shape lives; and the forces that inequitably disrupt families, not least of them war. The result is an accessible and moving book that is at once both a powerful personal story and an illuminating social critique.

"A gentle, visually inventive book that understands exactly what small objects mean to small people." --Kirkus Reviews

A blue horse was all he asked for. What he loved most was the green otter.

In The Green Otter, a father sets out with a simple mission: to bring home a blue horse for his young son. But when he returns, nestled beside the horse is a tiny green otter--an unexpected gift that captures his son's heart in ways no one could have foreseen.

Told with tender prose and a whimsical visual narrative, this beautifully illustrated picture book explores the magic of childhood attachment, the unpredictability of love, and the quiet dramas of parenting. The illustrations vividly portray a child's emotional world--where toys are companions, adventures await around every corner, and even the smallest creature can hold the biggest place in the heart.

The Green Otter is a gentle, timeless story about unexpected love, childhood devotion, and the quiet magic of everyday moments. Perfect for bedtime reading or classroom discussion, it's a celebration of the small things that become everything.

This picture book, inspired by the tender short story "The Green Otter" by Guatemalan author Eduardo Halfon, is brought to life through the whimsical visuals of Argentinian illustrator María José de Tellería. Available in both English and Spanish editions.
