Facing the prospect of fatherhood, disillusioned by his fledgling teaching career, and mourning the loss of a fraught former relationship, 25-year-old Francis Mason is a prisoner of his past mistakes. But when his second-grade class discovers a dead body during a field trip to a San Francisco beach, Francis spirals into unbearable grief and all-consuming paranoia. As his behavior grows increasingly erratic, and tensions arise with the school principal and the parents of his students, he faces the familiar urge to flee — a choice that forces him to confront the character weaknesses that have shattered his life again and again — and to accept the wrenching truth about the past he’s never been able to move beyond.

The year is 1929. New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties. Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . . Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined—and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will. The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets. Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall—together and apart. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age.

'Bright Dead Things buoyed me in this dismal year. I'm thankful for this collection, for its wisdom and generosity, for its insistence on holding tight to beauty even as we face disintegration and destruction.' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You A book of bravado and introspection, of feminist swagger and harrowing loss, Bright Dead Things considers how we build our identities out of place and human contact - tracing in intimate detail the ways the speaker's sense of self both shifts and perseveres as she moves from New York City to rural Kentucky, loses a dear parent, ages past the capriciousness of youth and falls in love. In these extraordinary poems Ada Limón's heart becomes a 'huge beating genius machine' striving to embrace and understand the fullness of the present moment. 'I am beautiful. I am full of love. I am dying,' the poet writes. Building on the legacies of forebears such as Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds and Mark Doty, Limón's work is consistently generous, accessible, and 'effortlessly lyrical' (New York Times) - though every observed moment feels complexly thought, felt and lived.

Fiona OBranyll was subject to severe abuse in the most tender and vulnerable years of her young life. How did she survive? This engaging story gives a vivid and practical picture of how the power of faith in God, and hanging on to His words, becomes a sustaining and permanent refuge during and after the worst of times. On her journey through loss and into peace, Fiona's faith ignited miraculous optimism within her, sustaining her spirit and soul throughout her life. Written with survivors of abuse in mind, this book will encourage anyone with a traumatic past, but it will also bring hope to every person going through challenging circumstances. Mary Beth Griffis, MA, LMHC Fiona O'Branyll's recounting of a horrendously destructive childhood brings light to God's power to transform a life. Hers is a great example of God giving a crown of beauty instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. In reading her book, you will witness this supernatural transformation where God turns to good what man meant for harm. Fiona's transparency and honest recall reminds us of Abba Father's love for us. Barbara Beck, co-host, TV45's The Good Life Fiona O'Branyll has a story of unimaginable pain as well as the redemption and life-transforming power of Jesus Christ. She movingly describes the terrors of abuse, the resulting bitterness and struggle to forgive, and the persistent, healing love of Jesus Christ. Saturated with Scripture and punctuated with poems she penned as a young adult, Fiona offers great hope to abuse victims as well as wise insights for those of us who desire to care for those who have suffered.
