NEW BOOKS

Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray.Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances Perkins arrives in New York City at the turn of the century, armed with her trusty parasol and an unyielding determination to make a difference. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down the Great Depression as FDR’s most trusted lieutenant-even as she struggles to balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood.

Good Half Gone by Tarryn Fisher.Iris Walsh saw her twin sister, Piper, get kidnapped–so why does no one believe her? Iris narrowly escaped her pretty, popular twin sister’s fate as a teen: kidnapped, trafficked and long gone before the cops agreed to investigate. With no evidence to go on but a few scattered memories, the case quickly goes cold. Now an adult, Iris wants one thing–proof.

Hopefully Ever After by Beth Wiseman. To become who they’re meant to be, Eden and Samuel must find the courage to defy expectations.

A Love Discovered by Tracie Peterson. Invited by a friend to help establish the newly formed town of Cheyenne, Edward Vogel is prepared to leave the haunting memories of his wife and son’s deaths behind him. The only problem is the corrupt new railroad town wants family men who can establish law and order, and desperation leads Edward to his friend Marybeth with a proposition of marriage. 

The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger.Rosie and Chad Lowan are barely making ends meet in New York City when they receive life-changing news: Chad’s late uncle has left them his luxury apartment at the historic Windermere in glamorous Murray Hill. At first, the building and its eclectic tenants couldn’t feel more welcoming. But as the Lowans settle into their new home, Rosie starts to suspect that there’s more to the Windermere than meets the eye. Why is the doorman ever-present? Why are there cameras everywhere? And why have so many gruesome crimes occurred there throughout the years? 

Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warningby Liz Cheney. In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican officials to take a stand against these efforts, witnessed the attack first-hand, and then helped lead the Congressional Select Committee investigation into how it happened. 

Sharing Too Much: Musings from an Unlikely Life by Richard Paul Evans. In this collection of personal essays, Evans shares his moving journey from childhood to beloved author.

Three-Inch Teeth by C.J. Box.A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage—killing, among others, the potential fiancé of Joe’s daughter. At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up years ago, is released from prison with a special list tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the six people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property. Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates sets out to methodically check off his list. The problem is, both Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett are on it.
