Inspiring Moments

The people in the house two doors away from us have a small dog who personifies mischief. Though they have one of those doggie-safe electronic fences, Sugar (she is all white) ducks out and wanders around, showing up in the most unlikely places. See the deer racing alongside the house? What are they running from? Sugar, who is racing behind them like she’s a mountain lion. Wonder what the rustling is in the woods? Yep, it’s Sugar prancing among the leaves. Tonight, driving home after dark, she was walking in the middle of the street --- not crossing the street, mind you --- but walking right down the middle like she was a dotted white line in motion. She makes me want to write a picture book called “Adventures of Sugar” with punchy copy every preschooler would love. And more than that, she makes me smile at her crazy adventures so much that I can almost forgive her incessant barking. She has been known to yip yap for hours.

I am happy to report that the most recent Word of Mouth comments (from the two weeks before the re-launch) as well as the archives back to early 2011 are now live. You know that hue and cry of “I want my MTV” from the '80s? Well “I want my Word of Mouth” was something we heard over and over this week. While you were able to add new entries last week, we were delayed posting your comments as we needed to pull these replies by hand from the old site as the two systems are not compatible. We will get the past years moved over in the weeks to come, as well. Want to participate in what we in the office affectionately call WOM? Then click here before August 26th to comment away, tell us about the books you’ve read and rate them from 1-5 to be entered to win one of five sets of copies of THE ACCIDENT by Linwood Barclay, THE KEEPER OF LOST CAUSES by Jussi Adler-Olsen, and THE MOST DANGEROUS THING by Laura Lippman.

Last week, in the midst of all the craziness of the Bookreporter.com launch, I found myself stealing time to read each morning and evening. My escape was not into my usual choice, which is fiction, but rather to the pages of one of the most inspiring memoirs I have read --- Lauren Manning’s UNMEASURED STRENGTH, which will be in stores on August 30th.

I thought Lauren Manning was a name that everyone knew, but over the past weeks I have found myself telling her story to people who have no recognition of her. For me, since I heard about her shortly after 9/11, she has become the person with whom I most connected when I think about the events of those tragic days. Maybe I related to her as a mother of a small child, or as a woman who left the house a few minutes late as I am wont to do and as a result was lucky that she was not killed at her desk at Cantor Fitzgerald, or because I admired her as someone who was robbed of the life she knew --- and, instead of cowering and giving up, found a new inner resolve to create an equally wonderful life for herself.

On that fateful morning in 2001, 82 percent of Lauren’s body was burned (which translates to an 18 percent chance of living) as a fireball erupted from the elevator at the first tower. The initial story of her recovery was chronicled in 2002 in a book that her husband wrote called LOVE, GREG & LAUREN, which was compiled from the emails that he began to write friends each evening in the dark days when she was in a medically induced coma that went on to last two months. In UNMEASURED STRENGTH, Lauren shares her story of these past 10 years, a story that reminds us that an accident that happens in an instant can take years to overcome and to get there requires courage and a huge inner strength. Lauren attacked her recovery the same way she had her corporate job. Five days a week, there was therapy instead of meetings. Beauty routines were replaced by pressure garments and a plastic facial mask.

What she tells here is a wonderfully honest, inspiring tale of digging deep and fighting hard to become not the person she was, but someone stronger and even wiser. She’s unflinching when she describes what she's been through and the moments when she looks back now on events in the mid-2000s --- when she thought she had come so far without seeing how much of a journey stood before her --- will have you thinking about what you were doing all those years as she was taking small steps to regain a normal life. And there are lots of lovely surprises, too. I venture to say that reading this, there will be at least one anecdote that will stay with you --- and inspire you --- for a long time after you are finished reading. We will have our review next week.

Patti Callahan Henry’s COMING UP FOR AIR is one of our One to Watch Author Spotlight titles. Patti is a Southern girl and really brings the people, places and culture of the South to life in her books, and her latest is no different. In COMING UP FOR AIR, an Alabama woman on the verge of a midlife crisis returns home for the funeral of her mother only to rekindle a relationship with a first love, as well as learning some secrets about her family. Bronwyn Miller has our review and says, “COMING UP FOR AIR by Patti Callahan Henry is a transcendent read that will whisk readers away to another place and time. Through these two women’s entwined lives, we are treated to a story that is relatable, entertaining and surprising. Fans of THE HELP, THE NOTEBOOK and THE DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD will devour this chronicle of mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, old friends and old loves.” Bronwyn also interviewed Patti, which you can read here.

Patti is in the middle of a book tour through the South. Check out her website, www.PattiCallahanHenry.com, to see if she’s visiting near you! Her events are always terrific. Also, here you can find out more about the trip she took to Montgomery to explore the background for COMING UP FOR AIR. And here she has written a great piece about "How to Make a Writer" that we all loved. Such great photos with her through the years, and it really tells a story of how she became a writer.

We have two new features starting this week. THE BALLAD OF TOM DOOLEY: A Ballad Novel by Sharyn McCrumb is our latest Historical Fiction Author Spotlight. Sharyn mixes fact and fiction as she recounts a murder trial in western North Carolina that captivated the nation following the Civil War. A man is wrongfully found guilty of murdering his lover and executed, but not before evidence and accusations from the governor’s mansion to death row play a significant role. It’s a story of betrayal and justice set in the newly-settled Appalachian region that will really appeal to historical fiction lovers. We have 20 copies of THE BALLAD OF TOM DOOLEY to give away to readers who enter here by Friday, August 26th at noon ET. The book will be in stores on September 13th.

The latest title to be featured in our Paperback Spotlight is FAITHFUL PLACE by Tana French, who has steadily built a strong following with her bestsellers IN THE WOODS and THE LIKENESS. Tana knows how to develop characters and give them a voice, which she does so well in FAITHFUL PLACE, which is about a Dublin detective who stumbles upon the suitcase of a lover with whom he lost contact 22 years before. FAITHFUL PLACE was an Edgar Award finalist and would be a great mystery to tuck away in your bag for a late-summer trip or to just escape with wherever your favorite summer reading takes you. It’s in stores now.

We’re entering the second week of our Sneak Peek: An Early Look at an Upcoming Book feature for BOND GIRL by Erin Duffy. It’s about a recent graduate who lands her dream job on the bond trading floor for one of Wall Street’s elite firms. But her new job is a lot different from what she envisioned, especially when she strikes up a relationship with a co-worker while desperately avoiding another with a high-powered client. This is a great depiction of the Street for those interested in the finance lifestyle, and it also has some good doses of humor. We have 100 advance copies to give away to readers who answer some questions here by Friday, August 26th at noon ET. Please only enter if you think you will be able to read the book and answer some further questions by the end of September.

Two other reviews to note this week. The first is Celia Rivenbark’s YOU DON’T SWEAT MUCH FOR A FAT GIRL: Observations on Life from the Shallow End of the Pool. She writes great humor; I had the pleasure of meeting her back in 2006, and talking to her was like being with a standup comic. Our reviewer, Kathleen M. Purcell, agrees: "I’m sure I looked like a nut laughing poolside while reading this book. What makes Rivenbark’s writing so entertaining is that it’s a lot like seeing a stand-up comedy act: she does an uncanny job of keeping the flow of comedy fresh." Also, David Levien, who is known for CITY OF THE SUN, is back with THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLAR POP: A Frank Behr Novel, about which Joe Hartlaub has this to say: "Behr is an extremely complex character who, at times, seems to be comprised on a gigantic rough edge and is not always sympathetic. Nevertheless, he is consistently interesting and ultimately falls on the side of the angels. Levien has been on my must-read list since the first page of CITY OF THE SUN, and THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLAR POP solidifies that position in concrete."

A quiet weekend ahead, which is great as we leave for the beach next Friday. This will give me time to make a pile of books to take with me and line up some knitting projects --- in other words, plan my over-packing! I scratched my cornea last week and thus am sporting my new glasses full-time these days, perching them on the edge of my nose to read. Hand-of-God moment that I actually bought new ones with the right prescription a few weeks ago! Who knew? Last Sunday, the pain was so great that I was trying to just relax…realized I always do that with a book, and since reading was painful, I instead napped. A whole lot less fun!

Here’s to more fun discovering new books on the NEW Bookreporter.com…and a great week of reading.

Bookreporter.com Talks to Patti Callahan Henry, Author of COMING UP FOR AIR

Patti Callahan Henry is not only a married mother of three, but also a New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, including BETWEEN THE TIDES and DRIFTWOOD SUMMER. Hailed as a fresh new voice in southern fiction (though she is originally from Philadelphia), her latest book, COMING UP FOR AIR, is about a house on the coast of Alabama --- a place that reveals the truth and changes the lives of Ellie Calvin and her loved ones. Bookreporter.com’s Bronwyn Miller spoke with Patti about the generation gaps between her characters and how she balanced several storylines in different time periods, such as the early days of the Civil Rights movement. She divulges her organic writing style, how motherhood has influenced her work and also kept her grounded in the “metaphorical dirt of real life,” and why her books appeal to so many avid readers of southern fiction.

COMING UP FOR AIR by Patti Callahan Henry (Fiction)
After the sudden loss of her formidable mother, Lillian, Ellie discovers the late woman’s diary, which opens up a whole side to her mother she never knew. She decides to return to the summer house in coastal Alabama where Lillian spent the summer of 1961, in the hopes of learning more about her mother and, perhaps, find some closure for herself.

More about THE BALLAD OF TOM DOOLEY:
What began as a fictional re-telling of the historical account of one of the most famous mountain ballads of all time became an astonishing revelation of the real culprit responsible for the murder of Laura Foster.

"Hang down your head, Tom Dooley…" The folk song, made famous by the Kingston Trio, recounts a tragedy in the North Carolina mountains after the Civil War. Laura Foster, a simple country girl, was murdered and her lover, Tom Dula, was hanged for the crime. The sensational elements in the case attracted national attention: a man and his beautiful, married lover accused of murdering the other-woman; the former governor of North Carolina spearheading the defense; and a noble gesture from the prisoner on the eve of his execution, saving the woman he really loved.

New Paperback Spotlight: FAITHFUL PLACE by Tana French

With FAITHFUL PLACE, the highly praised third novel about the Dublin Murder squad, French takes readers into the mind of Frank Mackey, the hotheaded mastermind of THE LIKENESS, as he wrestles with his own past and the family, the lover and the neighborhood he thought he'd left behind for good.

More about THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS:
The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it's been more useful in communicating grief, mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings.

Now 18 and emancipated from the system, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them.
