Katarina Bivald, author of The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend

Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara, who traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal. When she arrives, however, she finds Amy's funeral guests just leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor --- not much else to do in a small town that's almost beyond repair. They just never imagined that she'd start a bookstore. Or that books could bring them together --- and change everything.

Week of January 18, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of January 18th include RADIANT ANGEL, a John Corey novel from Nelson DeMille that takes readers into the heart of a new Cold War with a clock-ticking plot that has Manhattan in its crosshairs; James Hannaham's DELICIOUS FOODS, in which a widow, held captive by her employers --- and by her own demons --- on a mysterious farm, struggles to reunite with her young son; and GATEWAY TO FREEDOM by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Eric Foner, the dramatic story of fugitive slaves and the antislavery activists who defied the law to help them reach freedom.
