Book Description
Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby. Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint. Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise. Mr. and Mrs. Quimby sometimes forget who is to do what, as when the Crock-Pot is not plugged in and dinner remains uncooked. Beezus acquires a ludicrous teased hairdo at the student body shop while Ramona gets a becoming pixie haircut. Ramona, who feels unloved, takes to twitching her nose like a rabbit in a cozy picture book until her teacher becomes concerned that something is making her nervous. Yet Ramona is wrong. She is loved, and readers will rejoice with her when she discovers the wonderful truth. Few writers today are as skilled as Mrs. Cleary at showing families in the round, and here she is at the peak of her powers.

What the Hell Did I Just Read? You’ll ask yourself this question at least thirteen times throughout this book. Each story is uniquely crafted to throw you off your game, to introduce you to a different style of writing, or an entirely different story. Each told by one of two masters of the craft. Kristen Lamb and Troy Lambert team up for the first time officially to bring you this collection of short stories, many of which have never been published anywhere else before. From tales from the dead to killer card games, you won’t be able to catch your breath until you turn the very last page. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll scream out loud. Crossroads: The dead sometimes do tell tales… Jesus Saves: The truth does not always set you free… A Dog Named Lucifer: Brotherly love and a man’s best friend… Weather: Or Not: What if the weather truly matched your mood? Dandelion: Jane is good. Isn’t she? Bone Frog: Some friends truly are friends forever. The End of Dreams: What if all your dreams come true? Victoria’s Secret: Victoria has a secret. So do we all… Meeting on the Moon Bridge: You can always count on family, can’t you? Uncle: Sometimes, the best things come to those who wait. Jimmy: Is this your card? King of Hearts: Even if you think you’re in love, you could be wrong… Write in Peace: We've only got one life, but our writing lives on beyond our death...

Book Description
Set against the wild beauty of Montana as a woman attempts to heal from a devastating accident, this generational saga from the award-winning author of The Widow Nash is a heartfelt examination of how the deep bonds of family echo throughout our lives. For Polly, the small town of Livingston, Montana, is a land charmed by raw, natural beauty and a close network of family that extends back generations. But the summer of 2002 finds Polly at a crossroads: a recent head injury has scattered her perception of the present, bringing to the surface long-forgotten events. As Polly's many relatives arrive for a family reunion during the Fourth of July holiday, a beloved friend goes missing on the Yellowstone River. Search parties comb the river as carefully as Polly combs her mind, and over the course of one fateful week, Polly arrives at a deeper understanding of herself and her larger-than-life relatives. Weaving together the past and the present, from the shores of Long Island Sound to the landscape of Montana, The Center of Everything examines with profound insight the memories and touchstones that make up a life and what we must endure along the way.
