Bronco's supernatural abilities are a blessing and a curse. Haunted by memories of World War II, he seeks to avenge the deaths of a family killed by the Klan, finding love and solace in the process. Bronco was once a Harlem gangster in the 1930s before becoming a skilled soldier with the all-Black 92nd Infantry Division, fighting the Germans in Italy in 1944. During a chaotic night, embroiled in an intense battle, Bronco fought like a one-man army and took down several German soldiers. However, he encountered a strange sight: a group of dead German soldiers wearing World War I uniforms. Bronco was the only one who could see these soldiers, as he was cursed with the ability to see the dead, along with his supernatural strength. A decade later, Bronco is suffering from PTSD and has turned to alcohol while working as a gravedigger. The bars and lounges of Harlem are his only reprieve from haunting memories. Serving as a conduit for the dead, he is soon haunted by the daughter of a Mississippi farmer killed by the KKK. Entangled in a strained war between gangsters in Harlem, Bronco reluctantly leaves the city for Mississippi to investigate the girl's death and uncovers more than he could have ever expected.

"This is not only a massively good book, it is absolutely necessary."--Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya, author of The Storyteller of Marrakesh and The Watch

A bold and compassionate novel about war's aftermath, The Soldier's House confronts the uneasy truths of rescue, redemption, and what it means to share a home and future with a former enemy.

In The Soldier's House, Helen Benedict tells the story of an Iraq War veteran who saves the lives of his assassinated Iraqi interpreter's widow, child, and mother by bringing them to his upstate New York home. For the soldier, this is a way of making amends, but the widow finds being rescued by the enemy both humiliating and compromising. This is a compassionate tale that examines whether redemption and forgiveness are even possible in the wake of war. In light of the increasing displacement of people all over the world, The Soldier's House is particularly timely and poignant.

From the legendary Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century, this is the story of how gold fever turned one small mining camp into a bustling boomtown--with a highly explosive mix of dreamers, schemers, and gun-crazy killers. . .

Cord Bennett staked his claim in the gold-rich Rio Oro Canyon in 1849 at the dawn of the California Gold Rush. That's when all hell broke loose. What started as a makeshift mining camp is now a full-blown boomtown--fueled by greed, plagued by grifters, and overrun by opportunists of every stripe. As town marshal, Cord has the unenviable job of keeping the peace. Which is easier said than done. Here in Rio Oro City, brawls can break out at any moment--whether it's a ruthless rivalry between competing saloons or an all-out turf war between miners and timberjacks. And when money's at stake, brawls can turn deadly real fast . . .

In other words, Cord Bennett has his work cut out for him. His new deputy, a massive Englishman named "Boom Boom" Blackstone, packs his punches with blasting powder. The new church pastor is as handy with his fists as he is with a Bible. And Kat Olmsted, the sister of Cord's sweetheart Glory, is fighting to save her saloon from a hostile takeover. But that's nothing compared to Cord's latest challenge. A mysterious cadre of gunmen have arrived in town--and they didn't come for the gold. They came for vengeance. Cold, calculating, and cutthroat, they were hired for one reason and one reason only: To kill Cord Bennett . . .

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS.

For as long as Cleveland can remember, Tim Misny's face has been everywhere. Billboards. Bus benches. Television screens during Browns games. He is the most recognized personal injury attorney in Ohio, and possibly the most recognized professional of any kind in the city's history.

Most people assume it's ego. Or money. Or some combination of both that produces a man willing to put his face on everything. Most people are wrong.

The Misny Method is the first book to decode the system behind the saturation. Cleveland entrepreneur Jim Kukral spent months inside Misny's inner circle, interviewing a dozen people in his orbit, analyzing forty-five years of advertising data, and identifying the four decisions that separate professionals who are known from professionals who are remembered.

What emerged is not a marketing playbook. It's the story of what happens when a kid from Euclid, Ohio decides that invisibility is not an option, and builds a brand so deeply embedded in a city's identity that it becomes part of the culture itself.

Readers will discover the Four Decisions framework (Clarity, Visibility, Repetition, and Outlast) that any professional can use to become the name their market cannot forget. Whether you are an attorney, dentist, financial advisor, contractor, or any professional who is tired of being the best-kept secret in your market, this book is the blueprint.

Every market has room for one name that nobody can ignore. The Misny Method is how you become that name.

In 1994, 16-year-old Emmanuel Taban walked out of war-torn Sudan with nothing and nowhere to go after he had been tortured at the hands of government forces, who falsely accused him of spying for the rebels. When he finally managed to escape, he literally took a wrong turn and, instead of being reunited with his family, ended up in neighbouring Eritrea as a refugee.

Over the months that followed, young Emmanuel went on a harrowing journey, often spending weeks on the streets and facing many dangers. Relying on the generosity of strangers, he made the long journey south to South Africa, via Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, travelling mostly by bus and on foot.

When he reached Johannesburg, 18 months after fleeing Sudan, he was determined to resume his education. He managed to complete his schooling with the help of Catholic missionaries and entered medical school, qualifying as a doctor, and eventually specialising in pulmonology.

Emmanuel's skills and dedication as a physician, and his stubborn refusal to be discouraged by setbacks, led to an important discovery in the treatment of hypoxaemic COVID-19 patients. By never giving up, this son of South Sudan has risen above extreme poverty, racism and xenophobia to become a South African and African legend. This is his story.

"Evocative, rich, and simply bursting with rage and love. A gorgeous novel."-Lauren Groff, bestselling author of Fates and Furies

Talking to the Wolf is a poignant and haunting exploration of female friendship that unearths the past and the ghosts we carry into the present.
Four women. Thirty-five years. A lyrical and unsettling look at female friendship across time.
A failed rockstar, an awarded scientist, a work-obsessed misanthrope, and a ghost, whose untimely death ruptured the once-solid quartet, steel themselves for their thirty-fifth high school reunion dinner. Set during a surprise snowstorm in New York City the day of the reunion, Talking to the Wolf is a lyrical exploration of female friendship, friend breakups, and reconciliations across decades.

Like a Meg Wolitzer novel shot by filmmaker Nicole Holofcener and blessed by Virginia Woolf, Talking to the Wolf pole-vaults over the Bechdel Test.

New and selected sonnets from a treasured poet who "insists upon the rawness of experience and the metamorphosis of form with equal fervor and makes them both speak with the same voice" (W. S. Merwin).

Over the course of her celebrated fifty-year career, Marilyn Hacker has continuously proven to be a timely, fearless, and lauded poet highly skilled in a wide variety of forms--most famously, the sonnet. Transitions is her first volume consisting entirely of the beloved form.

Hacker is a poet of quiet mastery. In her hands, the sonnet, despite the stricture of meter and rhyme, blooms into a living, breathing thing, one that's contemporary, confessional, and subversive. Sentences effortlessly fall into formal constraint, and words that evoke the pleasure of everyday language become Petrarchan rhymes. As Jan Heller Levi wrote, "No one writes about lust and lunch like Marilyn Hacker. And certainly no one has done more to demonstrate that form has nothing to do with formula."

From her early sonnets to those written decades later, this book offers a portrait of the seasons of an extraordinary life, a life lived between New York, Paris, and Beirut as an activist, a polyglot, and a queer woman. We see Hacker's speaker grappling with young motherhood, the dissolution of her heterosexual marriage, middle age, relationships with women, chronic illness, care received from her adult child, and her old age, all while confronting geopolitical tension and global tragedies, from the AIDS epidemic to the war in Gaza.

Transitions is a remarkable celebration of a life lived in verse. Intelligent, contemplative, and justice-driven, this profound collection cements Marilyn Hacker's reputation of one of the indispensable poets of our time.

2025 DONNER PRIZE FINALIST

Is the Canadian government contributing to its own underperformance? An insider's guide to steering our nation toward greater efficiency

Canada is struggling. Our growth is anemic, our standard of living is stagnant, our housing is unaffordable, and our health care system is nearing a breaking point. To make matters worse, the government fails to deliver core services and avoid management fiascos like the ArriveCan and Phoenix scandals.

These failures are systemic and interconnected. What connects them is a fatal flaw in how the federal government operates, makes decisions, and takes action. Power has shifted from Cabinet to the Prime Minister and Prime Minister's Office with political staff taking on a larger role relative to the Public Service, and parliament has lost its ability to call the elected government to account.

With 50 years of combined experience in leadership positions in government, authors Lynch and Mitchell offer an expert's perspective on how to restore accountability and rebuild a culture of excellence by proposing a new blueprint for reshaping government. As Canadians face uncertainties at home and abroad, these practical and straightforward recommendations offer a path forward to ensure our nation's prosperity.

Thirty-five year old Cassandra (aka Cass, Cassie, Cassidy, and Cassiopeia) Trout is going nowhere fast. Stuck in her hometown of Philadelphia, she spends her lackluster days working retail and running, and then rinse, repeat. But a surprise wedding invitation from an estranged childhood friend is set to change all that.

Sally Sellers has made it big in London and is eager to flesh out her guest list. Cass and Sally were once inseparable, sharing everything from boys to beds. But secrets polluted their friendship--particularly Cass's illicit entanglement with Sally's father, Len, which began in adolescence, and ended with his untimely death. Will the wedding finally force Cass to reckon with her painful, hidden past? Can she heal well enough to truly grow into her own adulthood? And what does healing look like when the most damaging memories are also the ones that last?

Sara Lippmann's Hidden River is an unforgettable masterwork by a writer at the top of her game.

A fascinating blend of tragedy and dark comedy, a work of brutal emotional truths unearthed with lightness and grace, this exquisitely charged story, at once private and political, will linger in your mind--and earn a place in your heart.
