Week of October 20, 2014

Releases for the week of October 20th include THE FIRST PHONE CALL FROM HEAVEN by Mitch Albom, which tells the story of a small town on Lake Michigan that gets worldwide attention when its citizens start receiving phone calls from the afterlife; ANDREW'S BRAIN, in which E.L. Doctorowtakes readers on a radical trip into the mind of a man who, more than once, has been the inadvertent agent of disaster; and NEWTOWN: An American Tragedy, Matthew Lysiak's examination of the facts surrounding Newtown --- not only of that horrific day, but the perfect storm of mental instability and obsession that preceded it and, in the aftermath of unspeakable heartbreak, the controversy that continues to play out on the national stage.
