A Bear Far from Home<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Susan Fletcher<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Long ago, when kings and queens ruled much of the world, the king of Norway gave the king of England a bear.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine a polar bear at ease in her natural arctic world, her only home–until trappers capture her and take her to the king of England.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine a polar bear in her lonely new world, stuck in a cage. This small, enclosed space is her only home–until King Henry III decrees that she be brought to the Thames River every day to swim and fish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine now this same polar bear dipping a curious paw in the river water, then leaping in with a joyful splash. And it is here, in this unfamiliar, faraway land, in one small way, that she finds home once again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abuela Don’t Forget About Me<\/a><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rex Ogle<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch<\/em>, Rex Ogle’s abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse, Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence a woman he could always count on–to give him warm hugs and ear kisses, to teach him precious words in Spanish, to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted, and to offer safety when darkness closed in. Throughout a coming of age marked by violence and dysfunction, Abuela’s red-brick house in Abilene, Texas, offered Rex the possibility of home, and Abuela herself the possibility for a better life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abuela, Don’t Forget Me<\/em> is a lyrical portrait of the transformative and towering woman who believed in Rex even when he didn’t yet know how to believe in himself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brother Sleep<\/a><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aldo Amparan<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dThis book is a beautiful haunting. Formally inventive and alive, Aldo Ampar\u00e1n\u2019s first collection Brother Sleep<\/em> is essential reading for anyone who\u2019s ever made it through the night. The poems again and again seek definition for what can never be defined, living in the liminal space between the poet and memory. Ampar\u00e1n gifts us with a clear and important voice in this queer reckoning with landscape, desire, illness, and touch.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Photo Finished<\/a><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lori Roberts Herbst<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As maid of honor (aka grande dame) in her best friend’s upcoming wedding, Callie wants to plan the perfect bridal shower. And what could be better than a girls’ trip with their posse of friends?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The women jump at the idea and suggest a destination\u2014Moonglow Ranch, a serenity retreat-slash-dude ranch owned by one friend’s aunt and uncle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When they arrive, Callie is less than enthusiastic. Serenity doesn’t come easily to a former investigative photojournalist. Plus, her horse is stubborn as…well, a mule. She’s warned to be on the lookout for snakes. Worst of all\u2014gasp!\u2014Moonglow only serves healthy food. Still, her friends are having a great time, and even Callie’s golden retriever Woody and tabby cat Carl seem right at home on the ranch. For their sake, she tries to tap into her inner Zen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then the conniving wife of the town’s most powerful man interrupts the party and threatens the ranch’s proprietors. Callie worries the trip is destined for disaster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Later, Callie finds the woman’s body in the stable, apparently trampled by a horse. Or did she die from a snakebite? Or\u2014as Callie suspects\u2014could something even more sinister be at work?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answers are as difficult to find as a needle in the haystack. And when the police chief accuses the ranch owners of murder, Callie realizes she’ll need to lasso the real outlaw\u2014before the wrong people end up in the pokey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sandra Cisneros<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame<\/em> is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory, desire, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame<\/em> is the culmination of her search for home\u2014in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
