Shahan Mufti The Faithful Scribe
Shahan Mufti's family history, which he can trace back 1,400 years to the inner circle of the prophet Muhammad, offers an engrossing perspective on the frequently mystifying history of Pakistan
Elaine Neil Orr
A Different Sun Emma Davis, a plantation owner's daughter who longs for adventure, is smitten by Henry Bowman, the handsome and passionate preacher visiting her backwoods Georgia community in 1840.
Rebecca Walker
AdéKnown for her brilliant, frank memoirs, Rebecca Walker returns with Adé, a poetic, lushly written debut exploring the themes of memory, longing, passion, and loss- the story of a free-spirited American woman and a Swahili Muslim man who fall in love on the exquisite island of Lamu, off the coast of Kenya.
Peter Swanson
The Girl with a Clock for a HeartOn an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss's comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, the same woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago. Liana Dector isn't just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn't forget.
Rhonda Riley
The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope
The story of Adam Hope begins as WWII ends. Evelyn Roe finds what she thinks is a badly injured soldier on her family's farm in rural North Carolina and literally unearths him. But she quickly discovers he is a very unique stranger, not a man, and not one of us.
