Book Description
"A loving testament to the work and reward of the best friendships, the kind where your arms can’t distinguish burden from embrace.” — People New York Times Bestselling author Ann Patchett’s first work of nonfiction chronicling her decades-long friendship with the critically acclaimed and recently deceased author, Lucy Grealy. Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Gealy's critically acclaimed and hugely successful memoir, Autobiography of a Face, she wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isn't Lucy's life or Ann's life, but the parts of their lives they shared together. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long cold winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined...and what happens when one is left behind. This is a tender, brutal book about loving the person we cannot save. It is about loyalty and being uplifted by the sheer effervescence of someone who knew how to live life to the fullest.

Book Description
From USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart: A touching new standalone romance in the Kasper Ridge series; I’ve got a plan to get out of this tiny town and off to the adventure I’ve been dreaming of. I’m just missing one tiny thing to pull this plan off… a boyfriend. I’ve been running the Kasper Ridge Guides and Gear shop since after high school. And for a long time, it’s been enough. But when I final in a contest to win the adventure of a lifetime, I’m ready to head out and see the world outside this tiny Colorado town. The only problem? My inside source says the contest organizers want to give the prize to a couple. And I’m decidedly single. Luckily, I’ve become good friends with Travis, a ridiculously handsome, intimidatingly large former fighter pilot. He’s unavailable in every sense of the word. Or at least that’s what I think…until we kiss in a moment of passion I never expected. And then suddenly, leaving town doesn’t seem like such a great plan. Pretending to be in love with Travis isn’t hard, and the cameras following us around for the week capture some footage that make it look it’s not too hard for him, either. But then an “unresolved issue” from Travis’s past shows up at the resort and reminds me exactly why I don’t date tall, gorgeous men in the first place.
