Her warm heart breaks, her left ovary twinges, and she is smitten with sympathy. This is how she falls in love with Simon Mellinkoff, her charismatic, obviously troubled Latin professor. As the two embark on an unconventional romance, Simon introduces Margie to his small coterie of animal rights activists, and with this ragtag group she finds her apparent mission in life. But Margie&amp;rsquo;s increasingly reckless and dangerous actions force her to flee her California college town, say goodbye to her fragile dad, and seek shelter on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana. Here, against a backdrop of endless grass and sky, Margie meets a soap opera-loving grandmother, an intriguing, ink-splattered man, and an inscrutable eleven-year-old girl&amp;mdash;and makes unexpected discoveries about her heart. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Suffused with humor and compassion, &lt;i&gt;The Lovebird&lt;/i&gt; is a radiant novel about one young woman&amp;rsquo;s love of animals, yearning for connection, and search for her place in this world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

They settle in Brooklyn among immigrants of every stripe, yet Anna never quite feels that she belongs. But then, the summer she turns twelve, she is sent back to Poland to visit her grandmother, and suddenly she experiences the shock of recognition. In her family&amp;rsquo;s hometown of Kielce, Anna develops intense friendships with two local girls&amp;mdash;brash and beautiful Justyna and desperately awkward Kamila&amp;mdash;and their bond is renewed every summer when Anna returns. &lt;i&gt;The Lullaby of Polish Girls&lt;/i&gt; follows these three best friends from their early teenage years on the lookout for boys in Kielce&amp;mdash;a town so rough its citizens are called &amp;ldquo;the switchblades&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;to the loss of innocence that wrecks them, and the stunning murder that reaches across oceans to bring them back together after they&amp;rsquo;ve grown and long since left home.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Dagmara Dominczyk&amp;rsquo;s assured narrative flashes from the wild summers of the girls&amp;rsquo; youth to their years of self-discovery in New York and Europe. Her writing is full of grit and guts, and her descriptions of the emotional experiences of her characters resonate with honesty.&lt;i&gt; The Lullaby of Polish Girls&lt;/i&gt; captures the passion and drama of friendship, the immigrant&amp;rsquo;s yearning to be known, and the exquisite and wistful transformation of young women coming of age.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Praise for &lt;i&gt;The Lullaby of Polish Girls&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;The Lullaby of Polish Girls&lt;/i&gt; is a striking and vivid debut novel, absolutely buzzing with energy. Dagmara Dominczyk&amp;rsquo;s freshly observed story about the intertwined lives of three friends is both sexy and sensitive, with a raw, openhearted center. Dominczyk&amp;rsquo;s love for her complicated characters is apparent from the first page to the last, and by the novel&amp;rsquo;s end the reader cares for them just as deeply.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Emma Straub, author of &lt;i&gt;Laura Lamont&amp;rsquo;s Life in Pictures&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;The Lullaby of Polish Girls&lt;/i&gt; will make you swoon. Dagmara Dominczyk has written a glorious debut novel inspired by her own emigration from Poland to Brooklyn with depth, intensity, humor, and grace. Dagmara is a natural-born storyteller. I&amp;rsquo;m crazy about this book, and I know you will be too.&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;Adriana Trigiani, author of &lt;i&gt;The Shoemaker&amp;rsquo;s Wife&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

As threats close in on her&amp;mdash;a rebellious household, capricious gods and goddesses&amp;mdash;she will need every ounce of wit she possesses, and the courage to seek refuge where she least expects it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

There&amp;rsquo;s only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that&amp;rsquo;s her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finn&amp;rsquo;s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June&amp;rsquo;s world is turned upside down. But Finn&amp;rsquo;s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June&amp;rsquo;s life&amp;mdash;someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; At Finn&amp;rsquo;s funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail.

He's out with his mates, pint in hand, shots at the ready.&amp;nbsp; They're at the King's Arms and will soon be making their familiar descent: pub, bar, club. But this time it's different.&amp;nbsp; When the night ends and tomorrow begins, he'll graduate from Oxford and head reluctantly into adulthood. &amp;nbsp;As he stares into the foam of his first beer, he knows it won&amp;rsquo;t be easy.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;rsquo;ll have to confront his feelings for Ella, an Oxford classmate whose passion for literature matches his own, as well as Lucy, his first love, whose ominous phone calls and text messages are threatening to unravel him. And then there&amp;rsquo;s the tragic secret he's been hiding all this time, which is about to find its way out and send his night into serious turmoil. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ben Masters has written a thoroughly modern coming-of-age story full of style, heart, and humor. Eliot Lamb&amp;mdash;for all his mastery of literary theory, postmodern novels, and classic poetry&amp;mdash;is&amp;nbsp;about to be dragged into adult life, whether he likes it or not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now with Extra Libris material, including a&amp;nbsp;Q&amp;amp;A and bonus content&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

In much the same way that Kaye Gibbons burst upon the growing literary scene with her first novel about growing up, &lt;i&gt;Ellen Foster&lt;/i&gt;, so has Rebecca Stowe, who has already been compared to Carson McCullers and J. D. Salinger. She gives us a painful and hilarious first-personal novel of a bright, troubled girl that captures, as perhaps no other book does, the angst-ridden childhood of many a woman of the Baby Boom generation.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Living in affluent North Bay, Michigan, in the early 1960s, in a house with its own beach, Maggie Pittsfield (daughter of Robert &amp;ldquo;Sweet is My Middle Name&amp;rdquo; Pittsfield, owner of a local candy factory) is twelve years old. Unique for her corrosive perspicacity and weird precociousness, she is already deeply depressed and alienated . . . from the eccentricity of her family, the sexual perversity of her school, and the nightmarish banality of her mates. &amp;ldquo;&amp;lsquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a wonder you have any friends.&amp;rsquo; Mother used to say when I still had some. &amp;lsquo;You must become a different person when you leave the house.&amp;rsquo; Actually, I was six different people . . . Grandmother said I was possessed by the devil and unless we got him out by my thirteenth birthday, my soul would be lost forever, at least what was left of it. . . .&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Not the End of the World &lt;/i&gt;Rebecca Store render&amp;rsquo;s Maggie&amp;rsquo;s splintered personality and formidable aggression, which threatens to implode in tragedy, with painful precision and humor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

He lives on the thirty-third floor of a London housing project; while his peers pick fights, Des retreats to the public library. What&amp;rsquo;s more, Des&amp;rsquo;s uncle and guardian, Lionel Asbo, is one of the most notorious petty criminals in the city. Yet Lionel, full of inept devotion to his nephew, dutifully teaches Des the essentials of becoming a man (always carry a knife; pornography is easier than dating; pit bulls should be fed Tabasco sauce). To survive these lessons, Des seeks solace in a covert romantic union that would fill Lionel with rage. But just as Des begins to lead a healthier life, Lionel wins &amp;pound;140 million in the lottery. The money ushers in a public-relations firm for Lionel, along with a cannily ambitious topless model&amp;ndash;poet. Through it all, Lionel remains his vicious, oddly loyal self, and his problems, as well as Des&amp;rsquo;s, only seem to multiply. By turns outrageous and touching, &lt;i&gt;Lionel Asbo&lt;/i&gt; is an exuberant Dickensian satire of crime, celebrity, and modern culture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

It is the first time a novelist has ever described that distant world in words that open it up to Western readers in the clearest, most vivid terms.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Shanghai, 1949: we look through the eyes of Guan Ling-ling, a headstrong, idealistic seventeen-year-old. As her family departs for&amp;nbsp;Hong Kong, Ling-ling boldly chooses to stay, and joins a revolutionary theater group which soon leaves the city to carry out the new reforms in the Chinese countryside. After a scant few weeks&amp;rsquo; preparation, this city-bred schoolgirl suddenly finds herself in one of China&amp;rsquo;s most remote and impoverished areas, a world so far from her own experience that she can barely understand the lives she has been sent to change.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;On her very first night in Longxiang (&amp;ldquo;the Dragon&amp;rsquo;s Village&amp;rdquo;), a dusty hamlet far in the northwest, Ling-ling&amp;rsquo;s life is threatened by agents of a defiant landlord. From that moment on , an unrelenting flood of events engulfs her: plot and counterplot, acts of violence, midnight raids, dramatic personal revelations, even glimmers of first love, all set against a canvas of revolutionary upheaval.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Chen carries us on an incredible voyage against China at a critical moment in modern history. No novelist has focused so clearly or so closely on the faces of revolution, or on the physical and social landscapes in which it was played out, from the urbane circles of Shanghai to the parched fields and desolate families in tiny Longxiang. We are wholly involved in Ling-ling&amp;rsquo;s struggle to assume the unfamiliar garb of soldier and teacher, and can recognize in it an adolescent&amp;rsquo;s painful path to maturity.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Yuan-tsung Chen was born in Shanghai and educated in a missionary school for girls there. She has just graduated from high school in 1949, and soon went to work at the Film Bureau in Peking. In 1951, she joined she joined land reform workers in Gansu Province, the setting of this, her first book. It was the first of several agrarian campaigns in which she took part over the next twenty years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

From the opening chapter and its story of the doomed quarterback, Frank McSweeney, aka The Minotaur, for whom prayers prove not enough, to the end, wherein the school's former headmaster is betrayed by his peers in the worst way possible, we see people and their oddness and ambitions laid out bare before us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

My football coach blames me for our season-ending losses. So does the rest of the team. I wasted two whole months drowning in my own despair, like a complete loser. And I lost my girlfriend&amp;mdash;Fable Maguire, the only girl who ever mattered&amp;mdash;because I was afraid that being with me would only hurt her.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; But now I realize that I&amp;rsquo;m the one who&amp;rsquo;s truly lost without her. And even though she acts like she&amp;rsquo;s moved on and everything&amp;rsquo;s fine, I know she still thinks about me just as much as I think about her. I know her too well. She&amp;rsquo;s so damn vulnerable, all I want to do is be there to help her . . . to hold her . . . to love her.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; I just need her to give me one more chance. We may be lost without each other, but together, we&amp;rsquo;re destined to find a love that lasts forever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Smart but unworldly, Woods creates a new world for the contemporary misfit where circus performers, Catholic workers, fire jugglers, and power wives sit at the same table. A &amp;ldquo;gooble gobble&amp;rdquo; successor, Woods&amp;rsquo;s edgy sensuality doesn&amp;rsquo;t second-guess. Her language is clear, her home somewhere and nowhere.&quot; &amp;mdash; &lt;b&gt;2013 &lt;i&gt;Library Journal&lt;/i&gt; Spring Pick&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;This book will grab you by the throat and not let up for 550 pages and when you&amp;rsquo;re finished you&amp;rsquo;ll wish you were back in its jaws.&quot;&amp;mdash;&lt;i&gt;Lambda Literary&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Emerging author Chavisa Woods has been noted for capturing a &quot;strange, troubling vision of domestic life in the rural U.S.&quot; (&lt;i&gt;Go Magazine&lt;/i&gt;). Here she presents a technicolored vision of rural adolescence, the story of a girl with an unpronounceable name&amp;mdash;a fiery, unhinged, growling, big-hearted country girl in a dirty black tutu and combat boots who travels along all the bizarre yet familiar byways of human desire from the cornfields of Louisiana and the big brass sound of Mardi Gras to the heights of the Empire State Building. Turning the tradition of the southern gothic novel on its head, Woods presents a new land of contemporary misfits including fire-dancers, pseudo-Nazis who breed albino animals, Catholic workers, horse thieves, and the archangel Gabrielle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Boyle calls &quot;powerful and deeply moving&quot; that follows two young Mormon missionaries in Brazil and their tense, peculiar friendship.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Elder McLeod&amp;mdash;outspoken, surly, a brash American&amp;mdash;is nearing the end of his mission in Brazil. For nearly two years he has spent his days studying the Bible and the Book of Mormon, knocking on doors, teaching missionary lessons&amp;mdash;&amp;ldquo;experimenting on the word.&amp;rdquo; His new partner is Elder Passos, a devout, ambitious Brazilian who found salvation and solace in the church after his mother&amp;rsquo;s early death. The two men are at first suspicious of each other, and their work together is frustrating, fruitless.&amp;nbsp;That changes when a beautiful woman and her husband offer the missionaries a chance to be heard, to put all of their practice to good use, to test the mettle of their faith.&amp;nbsp; But before they can bring the couple to baptism, they must confront their own long-held beliefs and doubts, and the simmering tensions at the heart of their friendship. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A novel of unsparing honesty and beauty, &lt;i&gt;Elders&lt;/i&gt; announces Ryan McIlvain as a writer of enormous talent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>
