INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A People Best Book of the Month • An Apple Best Book of the Month “This novel’s grounded human story is just as engrossing as the mysteries swirling in outer space.”—The New York Times Book Review In the wake of First Contact, one mother upends her life and her children’s futures, as humanity reckons with its place in the universe. It’s March 1980, and Carol Girard and her husband are living an ordinary life in a small town in the Adirondacks. They have just had their first child, and though Carol is struggling with the challenges of new motherhood, her future seems clear. Until something extraordinary happens: an inexplicable flickering of light in the sky, which is ultimately determined to be communication from intelligent life on another planet. But these beings are eleven light-years away, and nothing is known about them other than the fact that they seem to know we exist, too. Arrival meets Wild Dark Shore in this epic of one family navigating a fifty-year exchange of messages with a mysterious, faraway civilization. As humanity reels from a shifting understanding of its place in the universe, we follow the stories of the Girard family: Carol, whose fascination with this other life sparks a desperate search for spiritual meaning; Michael, her loyal son, who finds solace not in the stars above his head but in the ground beneath his feet; and Ro, Carol’s bright and ambitious daughter, whose childhood goal to work in interstellar communication will evolve into something far grander. Tracing five decades of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, The Radiant Dark is "Daring and expansive, soul-stirring, and precise, this is a novel about love and belonging.” (Eliana Ramage, author of To the Moon and Back).

A BRAND NEW opposites attract billionaire romance from VH Nicolson For fans of Sadie Kincaid, Naomi West and T. L. Swan. Praise for VH Nicolson: 'VH Nicolson's characters will touch your heart and her storytelling will always leave you wanting more.' Sadie Kincaid 'A fan-yourself billionaire romance you'll think about long after the last page.' Elle Nicoll Elijah: she's an obsession I can't control. I thrive on order. Precision. Control. Organising Hart Law's staff event this year is a disruption I do not need. Especially if it means working closely with Sapphire Feelgood. Event organiser and sunshine in human form. She's bright, bubbly, and allergic to the word no. We clash instantly-her enthusiasm grates, her ideas overwhelm, and her smile... distracts far more than it should. I don't do chaos. Or temptation. But Sapphire is both and she knows just how to push my polished buttons and dismantle my boundaries... Sapphire: I want to know every part of him. Eli Hart may be beautiful, but he's also the grumpiest man I've ever met. He challenges everything-my ideas, my optimism, my patience. But somewhere between the tension and the teasing, I start seeing the real man beneath the perfect suits, but I know he's still hiding secrets. He pushes me away. I push right back. It becomes our game. Every moment together sparks hotter than the last. And the more he tries to hold the line, the more I want to be the one who finally makes him cross it... Tropes: Billionaire romance Workplace / working together Opposites attract (he's strict, she's wild) Grumpy sunshine Forced proximity Hurt / comfort Spicy

Every community needs entrepreneurs if a strong economy is to develop.Entrepreneur Discovery is a six-weekend training program that discovers who has the natural aptitude to be an entrepreneur and then educates and arms men and women around the world with the tools necessary to end poverty in their neighborhoods. It is entrepreneurs who see business opportunities where others do not. They have the drive to put the idea into practice and make a profit. It is not easy to make a profit, but entrepreneurs find a way to make enterprises profitable. When a business is profitable, others share in the benefits too. Employees get hired, merchants have new products and services to sell, the banks have more deposits and can expand their investments, salaries are spent at local stores, and on and on the chain goes. Every economy needs entrepreneurs if a strong economy is to develop. Entrepreneur Discovery Program, while teaching skills for all who attend a class, is designed to discover the ones who are entrepreneurs by nature. This is a practical program for discovering entrepreneurs. After they are discovered they can be encouraged, coached, and funded to create micro and small businesses. Beyond that it is difficult to predict with certainty. But the future looks bright for a society regularly identifying and then supporting young entrepreneurs. If you are ever on a elevator with Dr. Epps, he will probably smile at you, and say "I'm with RECIPE for HOPE. I'm Dr. Jerry Epps. We eradicate poverty in the developing world! We have a really effective method! We sponsor the ENTREPRENEUR DISCOVERY PROGRAM. We work with folks without the means to change their income level. We select ones with potential-that special "spark"-for starting business. We train them, we invest in them. They start businesses & make profits-lives improve!"

From the acclaimed author of Marlena comes a vivid, uncompromising novel about a young woman looking for a father and finding herself . “Julie Buntin understands the complexity of morality, declining easy answers to difficult questions about art and ethics as well as sex and desire. I tore through it.”—Rumaan Alam, author of Entitlement and Leave the World Behind “Haunting and knife-bright . . . Famous Men renders womanhood with unsettling clarity.”—Kiley Reid, author of Come and Get It and Such a Fun Age The right book at the right time can change your life. Will Miles is trapped. Trapped in tiny Greening, Michigan, where a toxic high school rumor has turned her into a social exile. Trapped in the predictable routines of her mother, and under the unrelenting gaze of her mother’s increasingly sinister boyfriend. But when Will stumbles across the early poems of Nathaniel Fellow, a famous writer forty years her senior who also grew up in Greening, she feels she’s found a kindred spirit. A passing comment from her mother only adds to Will’s fascination: Is Nathaniel the father she's never known? Will orchestrates a plan to track Nathaniel down, following in his footsteps to New York City, where she learns he's not the answer to her past, not the way she imagined. But their meeting sparks a complicated, consuming relationship that gives Will sidelong access to a world she’s only ever imagined: of writers and intellectuals, a financial safety net, and, most intoxicatingly, a glimpse into her own potential. But who is Nathaniel Fellow, off the page? And what will shaping her life to suit his cost her? When a torrent of information about his past threatens not just her life with Nathaniel, but the story she tells herself about him, Will is faced with a choice that will change everything. A gripping novel about ambition, parents and children, and all the ways women still pay for men’s mistakes, Famous Men traces one woman’s journey to the truth of where she comes from, what she’s capable of, and how she might start again.

Dream On is the perfect gift for young readers, especially fans of graphic novels, friendship stories, and hopeful, inspiring reads. "If you have Raina-obsessed readers in your life who have read the "Smile" books, as well as her two stand-alone graphic novels, "Drama" and "Ghosts," here are some other recommendations." - Colby Sharp, The New York Times, 'My Kids Love Raina Telgemeier Books. What Should They Read Next?' Shannon Hale, author of the bestselling Real Friends, returns with her first book in her latest graphic novel series, the bestselling Dream On (Good Housekeeping's Best Book of the Year). It's a wholesome and sensitive story of hope, friendship, and heartfelt wishes, perfect for fans of Allergic and Click. Something is missing from Cassie's life. Her parents don't have much money, she has to share her bedroom (and bed!) with her sisters, and her family never seem to have time for her. To make matters worse, her best friend Vali is always busy with a new friend. When Cassie gets a letter from a magazine sweepstakes with the words "YOU'RE THE WINNER" stamped on the front, she thinks it's the answer to all her problems. She could buy new furniture to replace their shabby old sofa. Or maybe a car so her family doesn't have to take two trips to go places. Or maybe she can make Vali her best friend forever by taking her on a fabulous vacation. The possibilities are endless, like an all-you-can-eat buffet! But will prizes really solve Cassie's problems? And what will she lose if she doesn't win anything at all? With bright and charming illustrations by Marcela Cespedes and coloring by Lark Pien, Dream On is a joyful story filled with imagination, big dreams, and wonder.
