Haunted by the last question their mother ever asked them, the Greyson brothers struggle to cope with their grief and adjust to life after tragedy. Semi-popular sixteen-year-old Liam spends his nights performing as the lead singer of his high school indie pop/rock band, Liam and the Landmarks. But something happened to Liam two years ago at his friend's house - a secret Liam will take to his grave. But in small towns like Summit, Colorado, secrets always seem to find their way out. Twenty-four-year-old Ezra thought that he could cure his grief when he left Summit behind for a prestigious art school in Chicago, but things only got worse. Now a college dropout working at a gas station mini mart, he turns to alcohol, prescription painkillers, and meaningless one-night stands. But Ezra can't run forever - life always catches up with you. With striking and abrasively honest dual-perspective narratives, Every Bright and Broken Thing illustrates the unbreakable bond between brothers and the power in coming home.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Let’s Take the Long Way Home comes a moving memoir about how the women’s movement revolutionized and saved her life, from the 1960s to the Me Too era. In a voice as candid as it is evocative, Gail Caldwell traces a path from her west Texas girlhood through her emergence as a young daredevil, then as a feminist—a journey that reflected seismic shifts in the culture itself. Caldwell’s travels took her to California and Mexico and dark country roads, and the dangers she encountered were rivaled only by the personal demons she faced. Bright Precious Thing is the captivating story of a woman’s odyssey, her search for adventure giving way to something more profound: the evolution of a writer and a woman, a struggle to embrace one’s life as a precious thing. Told against a contrasting backdrop of the present day, including the author’s friendship with a young neighborhood girl, Bright Precious Thing unfolds with the same heart and narrative grace of Caldwell’s Let’s Take the Long Way Home, called “a lovely gift to readers” by The Washington Post. Bright Precious Thing is a book about finding, then protecting, what we cherish most.

All the Broken Things Freed from captivity, but not from the haunting horror. A year ago, Abi Coltrane's life shattered when she was abducted from home. A psychopath on a killing spree seized Abi. The odds of survival stood against her. Tortured near death, her spirit broken. Abi fought for her life and the one within her. A team of local authorities led by FBI agents finally rescued her and the infant girl. Abi ached to be reunited with her family. After a recovery period in the hospital she was, but the horror followed her home. At home, tension grew between them; Abi had asked Jesse to be the legal father of her daughter. Jesse would do anything for Abi, but he didn't expect this. Could he love the baby of a serial killer, or was it more than he could manage? Abi began to suffer from a precarious state of a misunderstood emotional condition. Domestic trauma in the early '70s was a field that remained unexplored. Social norms laid a heavy burden of guilt upon the weaker of the sexes. Rape seldom discussed. Pregnancies that resulted were viewed as scandalous. Abi had a cloud of guilt hanging over her. Had she escaped one monster only to face another capable of inflicting even greater pain? Would Abi have to face this one alone, or would Jesse finally have a chance at redemption? A ruthless killer filled with rage on the loose. His sights were fixed on Abi and her family. An expert in stealth with a growing record of murders, that worried local chief of police, Reed Walters. Walters could not afford to let him slip away into the night. If he could just find him, or make sense out of what little he did have? It was a problem with no trail to follow or any sign of his whereabouts. Reed Walters didn't like someone jerking his strings, nor was he one to be fooled with. Things spiked when an assault on Jesse left him near death. That was followed shortly by an FBI agent forced into a violent auto crash. Reed knew he was running out of time, and there wasn't much to go on. The urgency of capturing this killer became a driving force. Pushing Walters into the mode of his former expertise as a Delta Force operative in Vietnam. He had his own set of finely honed skills. Reed had never failed on any mission and he wasn't about to start now.
