September's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes THE WIDOW OF THE SOUTH, the gripping New York Times bestseller from Robert Hicks based on one of the great forgotten Civil War stories; THE CAMEL CLUB by David Baldacci, in which one man's belief that the planet's time is running out sets in motion an audacious plot against the U.S. president; AT FIRST SIGHT, the follow-up to Nicholas Sparks's TRUE BELIEVER that asks the question: Is love at first sight truly possible?; and ANANSI BOYS, a compelling work from Neil Gaiman that marks a return to the territory he explored in his 2001 novel, AMERICAN GODS.
Among our nonfiction offerings are TEAM OF RIVALS, Doris Kearns Goodwin's multiple biography that chronicles not only the life of Abraham Lincoln but also those of his rivals for the Republican nomination for President in 1860; TEACHER MAN, Pulitzer Prize winner Frank McCourt's memoir about his years in the public high schools of New York City; ONE BULLET AWAY, an unflinching account by Nathaniel Fick of his recruitment, advancement and service on the fronts of Afghanistan and Iraq; and Marian Fontana's A WIDOW'S WALK, a deeply personal and poignant memoir from a September 11th widow that recounts the events of that tragic day and its aftereffects.
