March 2009
March’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes HOLD TIGHT, Harlan Coben’s 15th thriller that poses a provocative and terrifying question: How much do parents really want to know about their kids?; NOTHING TO LOSE, the 12th installment in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series that introduces readers to Hope and Despair, two lonely towns in Colorado; GUILTY by Karen Robards, in which a feisty female attorney's life is threatened when her hidden past resurfaces in an unexpected way; THE CURE FOR MODERN LIFE, Lisa Tucker’s wise, thought-provoking and morally compelling novel that raises questions about major social issues and the unpredictability of human relationships; THE EX-DEBUTANTE by Linda Francis Lee, a funny and poignant story of one ex-debutante who must decide if she’ll risk everything for love; and MUDBOUND, debut novelist Hillary Jordan’s award-winning portrait of two families caught up in the blind hatred of a small Southern town.
Among our nonfiction highlights are A WOLF AT THE TABLE, the prequel to the bestseller RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, in which Augusten Burroughs recreates the unspeakably terrifying relationship between a sociopathic father and a son yearning for unconditional love; LADIES OF LIBERTY by Cokie Roberts, a colorful blend of biographical portraits and behind-the-scenes vignettes chronicling women's public roles and private responsibilities; and THE WARRIOR, a heart-rending memoir written in 28 poems that Frances Richey dedicates to her son, Ben, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a Green Beret who served two tours of duty in Iraq.
