Book Description
Doug Crandell is a maestro in multiple genres: the author of critically-acclaimed true crime books, devilishly charming memoirs, and tragicomic works of fiction about small-town life that are leavened in equal measure with poignancy and humor. Enter They're Calling You Home, Crandell's latest novel. This is the story of Gabriel Burke, a writer who is alienated from everyone he loves for exposing a discomforting family secret in a bestselling memoir. Divorced from his wife, estranged from his daughter, and loathed by his alcoholic brother, Burke must confront all of them when he returns to his hometown in Smallwood, Indiana to chronicle the story of a gruesome mass murder there. Thus begins this intricately woven tale of redemption and forgiveness, of men paying the wages of masculinity, of sons coming to grips with the sins of their fathers, and of one writer grappling with the burdens of journalistic integrity. Throughout this deftly crafted work, secrets present a hall of mirrors through which Burke must constantly navigate: the secret of his father's sex crimes, the furtive steps his family takes to deny them, and the surreptitious efforts of State and local officials as they try and cover up the murder case he's investigating. Part road trip, part who-dunnit, part voyage of self discovery, Crandell's moving novel is ultimately the story of a journey in which the only possible destination is its starting point—home.

Winner of the 2021 Rachel Carson Environmental Book Award Winner of the 2021 Maine Literary Award for Nonfiction Finalist for the 2020 National Book Critics John Leonard Prize for Best First Book Finalist for the 2021 New England Society Book Award Finalist for the 2021 New England Independent Booksellers Association Award A New York Times Editors’ Choice and Chicago Tribune top book for 2020 “Mill Town is the book of a lifetime; a deep-drilling, quick-moving, heartbreaking story. Scathing and tender, it lifts often into poetry, but comes down hard when it must. Through it all runs the river: sluggish, ancient, dangerous, freighted with America’s sins.” —Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland Kerri Arsenault grew up in the small, rural town of Mexico, Maine, where for over 100 years the community orbited around a paper mill that provided jobs for nearly everyone in town, including three generations of her family. Kerri had a happy childhood, but years after she moved away, she realized the price she paid for that childhood. The price everyone paid. The mill, while providing the social and economic cohesion for the community, also contributed to its demise. Mill Town is a book of narrative nonfiction, investigative memoir, and cultural criticism that illuminates the rise and collapse of the working-class, the hazards of loving and leaving home, and the ambiguous nature of toxics and disease with the central question; Who or what are we willing to sacrifice for our own survival?

A 3-part Box Set Collection - Limited Edition! USA Today Bestselling Author, Lexy Timms, brings you a new contemporary billionaire romance with the perfect mix of steam, romantic comedy, a dash or romantic suspense and a whole lot of billionaire troubles... We're not here to take part, we're here to take over… Prequel - The Takeover Brad Miller has carved up dozens of companies in his meteoric rise to the top. Retro is just another company headed by a stubborn owner who doesn't want to let go. But Brad has him by the balls, and he knows it. The only play he has left is his daughter, the beautiful and talented Alyssa Pierce. Her father adds a stipulation at the last minute that Brad must keep Alyssa on as COO. What Mr. Pierce didn't foresee was the magnetic attraction between the two and how neither Brad nor Alyssa can keep their hands to themselves. Brad storms down the hallway to have a word with his new partner, only to find her waiting for him. When he shuts the door, the heat begins to rise. All his negotiating skills go out the window, leaving Brad with a decision to make. Will he allow Alyssa into his heart or force her back to the bargaining table? Book 1 - Love Notes I stood in the elevator, all my things in a cardboard box. Surrounding me, nearly every other employee clutched their own belongings, all of us let go on the same day. The nerve of that man! After taking over as CEO, Brad Miller kicked us all out. I would never forgive him for that. Just three months later, there was a job posting for his assistant, and I seized the chance to win my way back into the company. I was going to make him sorry he ever bought the tech design firm. Behind the scenes, I would do whatever it took to right his horrific wrong and welcome all my friends back to their old jobs. However, I wasn't counting on his alarming good looks, or the way he made me feel whenever he walked by. When he had me book a luxury business trip to Paris, I nearly forgot all about sabotaging him. That is until he made it very clear that he was looking for more than just an assistant. Book 2 - Fine Print Nothing in fine print is ever good news… The question of the missing money haunted me. Brad Miller, CEO and owner of the Retro art design and technology company, had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from his former employees. Or had he? I didn't know, and the lingering doubts made it difficult to work alongside him. Sexy and intelligent, he was as dedicated in the bedroom as he was in the boardroom. I should know; I gave into temptation one night on a business trip. I found myself falling for him, trusting him with all my heart even though my rational mind warned me to stop. What if he really did steal all that money? Did I even want to know, or was that something best kept secret?

Who's the New Guy… Katie Walters and Adam Miller have one mission: Find the person stealing millions of dollars from Adam's company, and get them behind bars. They've gone to the Houston branch of his company and donned personas as regular employees, hoping to get a breakthrough, but when their first suspect doesn't pan out, it looks like they'd failed. Now they have a list of three more suspects, all of them equally guilty. The problem is, one of them is Katie's new best friend.
