Dorothea Benton Frank, author of The Hurricane Sisters

Dorothea Benton Frank once again takes us deep into the heart of her magical South Carolina Lowcountry. There we meet three generations of women buried in secrets. The determined matriarch, Maisie Pringle, will have the final word on everything, especially when she's dead wrong. Her daughter, Liz, has an emotionally demanding career that will eventually open all their eyes to a terrible truth. And Liz's daughter, Ashley, has dreamy ambitions of her unlikely future that keeps them all at odds.

Releases for the week of April 6th include Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel THE GOLDFINCH, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate; DAVID AND GOLIATH, in which Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to endure various apparent setbacks; THE KING'S CURSE by Philippa Gregory, the story of lady-in-waiting Margaret Pole and her unique view of King Henry VIII’s stratospheric rise to power in Tudor England; and EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING, Robin Roberts' memoir in which she recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so far, and the lessons she's learned along the way.
