"WHITEHOT TRUEBLUE The hyphenated title and a book cover displaying a volcano and birds fl ying together till the end of time to the ends of the earth signify that passionatetender heartlines stuff White Hot-True Blue. Its parables, narratives, and eyewitness stories mesh refl ective thought and the living heart. This book eschews mainstream behavioral-technological psychology, a natural scientifi c discipline so theory-driven and obsessed with method that it merely generates abstract, cold objectivities and detached statistical generalities. White Hot-True Blue offers instead a psychological psychology, one that includes the soul and the spirit, one radically individualized and deeply personal--a psychology wielding a caring human touch. The human heart is not reducible to a physiological pump. Our heart is the mind warmed."

The story of two sisters and the boy next door... The acclaimed author of Firefly Beach and other New York Times bestsellers, Luanne Rice explores the powerful bonds that connect old friends, and the joy of life’s unexpected second chances. Now, returning once more to the Connecticut beach town at the center of many of her most beloved novels, she touches our hearts with a spellbinding story of a love lost—and saved—by the power of what was always meant to be . . . Schoolteacher Rumer Larkin never felt the need to stray from Hubbard’s Point. Rich with legends of seafaring spirits and lost treasures, the rustic village still echoes with the memories of Rumer’s past—even after those she loved have left. But now, so many summers after Zeb Mayhew broke her heart, he has returned with his teenage son, and Rumer knows her quiet life will never be the same again. Zeb has come back to hoping to reconnect with his son, with the past and all its mistakes. Suddenly facing Rumer again, Zeb discovers where he belongs. He could never forget the girl who used to climb onto his roof with him to watch the stars. But neither Zeb nor Rumer knows if it’s too late to do more than regret the path not taken—or if every path leads us back to the one true love of our life . . .

All of my family and many friends are scattered in various states or countries. So when I die, they needn’t gather in California for my funeral, as I do not plan to have one. My goal is to have my lawyer, or a friend, send everyone I know, a copy of my memoir/advice book—NOW I ASK YOU—to save everyone the hassle of traveling on short notice. It is not worth their time, effort, and inconvenience, nor the money involved. Throughout my 84 years (so far), I have garnered tons of personal experiences—good, bad, and so-so. As such, I have chosen 120 subjects to share. Each section has three parts: It starts with NOW I ASK YOU questions and/or advice for the reader, then my personal story, followed by inspirational quotations, both old and new, from the famous, the not so famous, and the anonymous, pertaining to that particular experience. Few individuals have heard all of these tales, so many will be new to them. (I have actually heard friends become angry, when I would tell one of my stories to others, and they hadn’t heard it before. How weird is that?) Although I tried to place my memories in chronological order, the reader can dive in anywhere, as each story can stand alone. I hope readers will smile or laugh or cringe at some of my difficult, unpleasant, funny, or embarrassing experiences. This 24th book of mine is just my way of leaving a historical record, of sorts, for my family, as well as a roadmap for friends, neighbors, former students, and other readers, to learn from my failures and successes (always a teacher at heart!). Understand your life as a kaleidoscope of experiences that move and change. —L.D. Thompson We should learn from the mistakes of others. We don’t have time to make them all ourselves. —Groucho Marx

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • Pulitzer Prize winner John Cheever’s classic novel about one eccentric New England family, inspired by the author's own adolescence. The Wapshots have called the quintessential Massachusetts fishing village of St. Botolphs home for eons, but now it is time for the next generation—brothers Moses and Coverly—to go out and see the world. Moses heads to New York City and, eventually, a remote island in the South Pacific, while his brother travels south to Washington, D.C., and a job “so secret that it can’t be discussed here.” Meanwhile, back in St. Botolphs, their father, Captain Leander, clashes with his fearsome Cousin Honora, who controls the family purse strings. By turns tragic and deeply funny, The Wapshot Chronicle is a “richly inventive and vividly told” (The New York Times Magazine) work of fiction about one very odd family.

Welcome to Brighton Beach of the 1930s and early '40s as filtered through Simon Sloan, from youth to would-be artist-as-a-young-man at Brooklyn College to the eve of his induction into the army. Wallace Markfield perfectly captures this Jewish neighborhood--its speech, its people, its unique zaniness. But like any masterpiece--Joyce's "Dubliners" comes readily to mind--"Teitlebaum's Window "both survives and expands upon its time and place. While remaining rooted in the specifics of its own world, thirty-seven years after first being published it teems with Markfield's inventiveness, hilarity, and singular voice.
