Sold outVera Stein Is Fine
From #1 New York Times bestseller Julie Murphy comes a heartfelt and hilarious tale of a woman who thinks life and love have passed her by until she's thrown into her grandmother's quirky world of octogenarian free love and gets a second chance with the one man she never expected to see again. Perhaps it's never too late to play the opening credits...
Welcome to Starlight Palms, a favorite retirement facility among Hollywood actors and industry professionals tucked away just outside of sunny Palm Springs. Filled with forgotten scream queens, eccentric screenwriters, and heartthrobs of the past, it has a brand-new resident: Vera Stein, age forty.
Vera knows she's missed her chance at a life worthy of the silver screen, just like she missed her chance at ever finding true love. But Vera isn't one to take chances. She's spent most of her adult years caretaking for her dying mother and her movie star boss's ego. Now abruptly houseless and jobless, Vera has nowhere to land, so to grandmother's house we go!
The Starlight Palms Senior Living Center is midcentury Hollywood down to its pastel-painted bones. This desert gem isn't lacking in saucy plot twists (swinging seniors, anyone?) or a leading man: Elias Buckley, the on-site doctor and Vera's former ill-fated college fling and--for reasons that will stay in Vegas--legally her ex-husband according to the state of Nevada.
It's not long before Vera falls into a job as the activities coordinator and under the spell of a certain smart-mouthed doctor... Suddenly all those empty years in LA look less like mistakes and a lot more like backstory. With a fresh start at her fingertips, Vera begins to see that even with all the detours she's taken, there's still a Hollywood ending (and maybe even a happily ever after) in sight...

Painting Grace
After decades of near-solitude, terminally ill art professor Miriam Johnson discovers her final student may also be her most extraordinary.Dr. Miriam Johnson has spent years in self-imposed isolation, haunted by the tragic death of her husband Tom and consumed by guilt over choices that now seem unforgivable. A respected art history professor at LSU, she has built walls around her heart, convinced that her unwillingness to leave Louisiana and her blindness to Tom's despair sealed their fate.
But when a terminal cancer diagnosis forces her to hire a caregiver, nineteen-year-old Camille Caillouet arrives and quietly begins to crack those walls. Struggling through nursing school while honoring her late grandparents' dreams, Camille becomes more than an attendant-she becomes a student of Miriam's hard-won wisdom, and a reflection of the potential Miriam can no longer waste. What begins as a practical arrangement becomes something far deeper: a final chance for Miriam to nurture in Camille the life she feels she failed to nurture in Tom-and, in doing so, to discover that even grief can be turned toward grace.
Moving between the passionate early days of Miriam's marriage in 1979 and her final months in 2015, this deeply moving novel explores the weight of survivor's guilt, the complexity of love, and the transformative power of mentorship.
In the tradition of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, and Kent Haruf's Our Souls at Night, Painting Grace captures both the ache of profound loss and the surprising grace that can emerge when we open our hearts to unexpected connection.

See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse: Updated Edition
A completely updated edition of Jess Hill's groundbreaking investigation of domestic abuse.National bestseller and winner of the Stella Prize
Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question: why didn't she leave? We should be asking: why did he do it?
Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators - and the systems that enable them - in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience - abuse that is often reinforced by a justice system that is meant to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence - not in generations to come, but today.
Combining forensic research with riveting storytelling, Jess Hill's acclaimed bestseller radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes. This new and updated edition features revised statistics, forewords by Professor Clare Wright and domestic-violence educator Hannah Taylor-Civitarese, and a new preface by the author. This is required reading - not just for people affected by domestic abuse but for all Australians.
'A shattering book: clear-headed and meticulous, driving always at the truth'-Helen Garner
'One Australian a week is dying as a result of domestic abuse. If that was terrorism, we'd have armed guards on every corner.'-Jimmy Barnes
'The most important book of the last decade on one of the most critical issues in our time.'-Rick Morton
