Women’s Work : Kari Aguila
Women’s Work
“So when most of the men were dead, women saw their chance to take over?” Kate searches her son’s eyes as he asks this. “Not take over,” she says. “Fix things.”
It wasn’t hard to justify what the women had done since the end of the Last War. They rebuilt their bombed-out neighborhoods as best they could and tried to establish peace and gender equality. But small groups of men roam the country, viciously indicating that the pendulum may have swung too far. When a bedraggled man shows up on Kate’s doorstep one night, will she risk everything to help him? Does he deserve her help?
Women’s Work follows Kate on her journey from fear and anger to forgiveness and hope. It is a compelling story that challenges us to question traditional gender roles and the fragility of love.

A Prayer For The Devil : Dale Allan
A Prayer For The Devil
When a Priest determines to avenge his brother’s murder, he must make a journey into the underworld of radical Islam that shakes the very foundation of his faith.
Twin brothers Luke and Aaron Miller could not lead more different lives. Aaron, a rising political star who manages the campaign of a man many believe will be the nation’s next president. Luke, on the other hand, entered the Catholic priesthood.
When Aaron and the candidate he supports are killed in a bombing at a presidential stump speech, the Miller family’s core is destroyed. Fear of a terrorist threat grips the nation, but the FBI and the press seem more focused on the death of a presidential candidate than on the other innocent victims like Aaron.
Suddenly, Luke begins to feel the lure of a vengeance that is stronger than the bond of faith.
As he falls deeper into the abyss of political intrigue that surrounded his brother’s mysterious professional life, Luke is tempted to break his promise to God and reassess his own sense of right and wrong. What sort of priest carries a concealed weapon? How can he judge others when he himself has strayed so far from his own flock?
Luke’s comfortable life in Boston collides with the faraway world of the Middle East as he sets out on a journey to unravel the truth behind Aaron’s murder. Will he take an eye for an eye?
In A Prayer for the Devil, Dale Allan weaves a fast-paced murder mystery wrapped in a thoughtful meditation on the intersection of faith and justice. Luke’s journey through his own darkness propels him to a shocking ending that will leave readers breathless.

Camping with the Communists : Karen Gilden
Camping with the Communists: The Adventures of an American Family in the Soviet Union
If you’ve forgotten—or never knew—what it was like to live with MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) or if you suddenly find yourself missing the Iron Curtain, it’s time to join the Gildens as they drive 3,800 miles through the Soviet Union in a VW camper. Stand beside them as they struggle with the Soviet bureaucracy, join the lines to buy food, come face to face with the KGB, smuggle a diamond ring out of the country, steal toilet paper, and more.
During the 1970s about 20,000 Americans visited the USSR on guided tours each year, but almost no U.S. tourists camped for six weeks in the country commonly called “our enemy.”
This smart, personal, compelling, and funny memoir will bring the USSR back to life in a way you won’t soon forget.
