<p>&ldquo;Giffin excels at creating complex characters and stories that ask us to explore what we really want from our lives.&rdquo;--<em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em>Tessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon.  Despite her own mother&rsquo;s warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life. Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie--a boy who has never known his father.  After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance--and even to some degree, friendships--believing that it is always safer not to expect too much.Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children.  But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined.  In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. Each being tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovering what truly matters most.</p>

INFINITE DAYS
by Rebecca Maizel

(9780312649913, 10.99 bb )

9780312649913

The first in a sizzling new YA series! When Lenah Beaudonte, a 500-year-old vampire queen, wakes up human teenager at an ultra-cliquey prep school, she must choose between embracing the humanity she’s always craved and saving her new friends from her vicious coven.

After centuries of terrorizing Europe, Lenah is able to realize the dream all vampires have—to be human again. After performing a dangerous ritual to restore her humanity, Lenah entered a century-long hibernation, leaving behind the wicked coven she ruled over and the eternal love who helped her grant her deep-seated wish. When Lenah draws her first natural breath in centuries, she discovers a human life that bears little resemblance to the one she had known.

Can an ex-vampire survive in an alien time and place? What can Lenah do to protect her new friends from the bloodthirsty menace about to descend upon them? And how is she ever going to pass her biology midterm?

Last week, 4tnz.com featured Infinite Days as their book of the week! http://www.4tnz.com/content/book-week-infinite-days

The official Twilight Saga Facebook Fan Page calls Infinite Days “A must read for the summer!” This was blasted to over 10 million fans, and within one hour over 3,000 people commented and/or “liked” the post.

Infinite Days is a deliciously engaging mix of vampires and romance, peppered with humour and layered with a lush, grippingly dark back-story. Rebecca Maizel’s first novel is a real treat!”—A.M. Jenkins, author of Damage

IN A HEARTBEAT
by Leigh Anne Tuohy, Sean Tuohy

(9780805093384, 27 bb )

9780805093384

For the first time, the remarkable couple depicted in The Blind Side tells their own story. First came the bestselling book, then the Oscar-nominated movie—the story of Michael Oher and the family who adopted him has become one of the most talked-about true stories of our time. But until now, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy have never told this astonishing tale in their own words. In this compelling, funny, and profoundly inspiring book, the Tuohy’s take us on an extraordinary journey of faith and love—and teach us unforgettable lessons about the power of giving.

“In The Blind Side I did my best to describe the full force of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, but there is only so much one writer can do. In a Heartbeat picks up where I left off, and gives the reader a much fuller portrait of these extraordinary people.”—Michael Lewis

“All I can say is, if there were more Leigh Anne Tuohys, the world would be a better-run, more harmonious, and more productive place...she’s such an amazing person.”—Sandra Bullock

A Reuters piece on the Tuohy’s and In a Heartbeat recently ran in the Ottawa Citizen, and will likely be picked up by many other Canadian media outlets. Read the article at: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/movieguide/Blind+Side+family+story+inspires+others/3308487/story.html

Previous US media includes People magazine, Good Morning America, Good Morning America Weekend, Fox & Friends, and CNN’s American Morning.

SEARCH
by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens

(9780312377441, 31 bb )

9780312377441

A nine-thousand-year-old conspiracy. Three families. One secret. The race to uncover history’s greatest mystery has begun. Acclaimed bestselling novelists Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens once again bring their unique blend of relentless suspense and cutting-edge science to a page-turning story of adventure that spans the globe and millennia of human history, racing from long-buried ruins in Cornwall and the casinos of Atlantic City to the forgotten caves that protect a shocking revelation that will tear the veil off the true history of humankind.

Search is an action-packed thriller that goes beyond wild theories of ancient astronauts and sunken empires to suggest a startling new vision of the birth of human civilization.

“This fine archeological quest novel from the Reeves-Stevens duo (Icefire) smoothly blends a fast-moving fantasy plot with a solid scientific backdrop…Smart, suspenseful writing and a clever concept add up to a compelling read.”—Publishers Weekly

The authors have recently moved to Canada and will be actively promoting the book!
