It's 1969, and for the Levin family, the times they are a-changing. Every year the children have looked forward to spending the summer at their grandmother's historic home in downtown Nantucket. But like so much else in America, nothing is the same. Blair, the oldest sister, is marooned in Boston, pregnant with twins and unable to travel. Middle sister Kirby, caught up in the thrilling vortex of civil rights protests and determined to be independent, takes a summer job on Martha's Vineyard. Only-son Tiger is an infantry soldier, recently deployed to Vietnam.
Paperback releases for the week of February 10th include NEON PREY, another nail-biting installment in John Sandford's Prey series, which finds Lucas Davenport tracking a prolific serial killer who has been operating for years without notice; SUMMER OF '69, Elin Hilderbrand's first historical novel, in which four siblings experience the drama, intrigue and upheaval of a summer when everything changed; THE STATIONERY SHOP by Marjan Kamali, a beautiful and timely exploration of devastating loss, unbreakable family bonds and the overwhelming power of love; and PARKLAND, Dave Cullen's intimate, deeply moving account of the extraordinary teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting who became activists and pushed back against the NRA and feckless Congressional leaders --- inspiring millions of Americans to join their grassroots #neveragain movement.
