Our Strange Duet: Inspired by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera
A reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, spotlighting Christine Daaé as she rises to fame while torn between love, ambition, and the haunting secrets of the opera house from #1 New York Times bestselling author Erin A. Craig. This gorgeous hardcover edition of Our Strange Duet features stunning sprayed edges, custom character endpapers, a foil-stamped case, and a ribbon! She was never just the voice he shaped . . . A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus. One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the Opera House: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine's talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart. As Christine's star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls--and what she's willing to risk for the life she wants. Set against the sweeping, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take center stage to tell her own story: fierce, emotional, and unforgettable. -
One Scan Saved My Life: How One Woman's Story Will Change the Way We Detect Lung Cancer
A NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER A powerful call to reform how we screen for the deadliest cancer, proving that early detection can save lives long before symptoms begin. She was forty-four, the picture of health -- a devoted mother of four, a daily runner, a kale enthusiast who never smoked a day in her life. But when she signed up for a routine health scan "just to be safe," she discovered the unthinkable: fast-growing stage I lung cancer. In her searing and hopeful memoir, Shira Kupperman Boehler tells the story of how one moment upended everything -- and how it may have saved her life. As she navigates surgery, recovery, and the emotional aftershocks of a diagnosis that "shouldn't" have happened, she uncovers a staggering truth: by the time most lung cancers are found, it's too late -- not because we can't detect them earlier, but because our health system doesn't. Part personal journey, part urgent call to action, One Scan Saved My Life shines a light on the silent epidemic affecting millions of Americans -- including nonsmokers, women, and young adults -- who are excluded from current screening guidelines. With clarity and conviction and backed by the input of medical and policy experts, Shira makes a powerful case for expanding early-detection policies and rethinking how we define "risk." A story of resilience and the power of speaking up, One Scan Saved My Life asks one simple question that could change everything: What if prevention didn't come too late? -

Gods Will Sing Our Song
In this sweeping WWII historical romance threaded with magic and myth, two star-crossed Japanese American teenagers find a love more powerful than the gods--inspired by the author's true family history of internment and resilience. A divine favor can change everything. 1942. War rumbles across the world, gods stir in the wind, and two lives are set on a collision course that will change them forever. Seventeen-year-old Ren Hamada has always been defined by his troubled past, while Violet Aratani has only ever worried about keeping her straight-A grades and helping her parents run their beloved print shop. The two have little in common beyond the old magic that thrums in their worn family relics--and the fact that they're Japanese American in a country determined to cast them as the enemy. Forced out of their homes and into ramshackle wooden barracks in the California desert by the US government, Ren and Violet collide. In a barbed wire world where everything they thought they knew is upside-down, the magnetic pull between them is the only thing that makes sense. But there's more than just desert dust swirling in the air. A god walks among them, his mortal form tethered to the camp, and only Violet and Ren hold the key to freeing him--an act that would earn them an immeasurable reward. Yet with tensions rising and their lives on the line, is even a divine favor powerful enough to save them? -

Too Good to Get Hired: Go from Overqualified to a Perfect Fit
This isn't a book about job searching. It's a survival guide for a system that punishes overqualified job candidates.If you're a professional over 40 - especially over 50 or 60 - you know the job market that once rewarded your experience now penalizes you for it. You've been told you're too experienced, too senior, too educated, or not the right fit.
Translation: you're too good to get hired.
Today's hiring system is run by algorithms and overseen by young hiring managers who don't want to hire anyone who reminds them of their mom or dad. They don't want to be outshined. Instead, they want safe, compliant, and cheap.
But you're not done. You're not obsolete. You just need to understand the rules of how the modern employment system really works and how to win inside it.
Too Good to Get Hired decodes the AI filters, biases, and fears that keep the most qualified people unemployed and provides a clear roadmap for turning your experience into an asset and not a liability.
You don't need to work harder or dumb yourself down. You just need to reposition yourself.
Because it only takes one yes to get into the right job for you
