Heather Drumm has dealt with loss for most of her 23 years. The death of her mother, the disappearance of her sister, and the loss of her father - emotionally - when she needed him most. Her confusing and anger-filled childhood leaves her with more questions than answers. Returning home, she faces almost insurmountable obstacles in her quest for answers.

Published in 1936, this novel presents in epic scope the conflicts in the settling of the American Southwest. Set in New Mexico in the late 19th century, The Sea of Grass concerns the often violent clashes between the pioneering ranchers, whose cattle range freely through the vast sea of grass, and the farmers, or "nesters," who build fences and turn the sod.

Richter casts the story in Homeric terms, with the children caught up in the conflicts o

Hailed by critics and readers alike as Günter Grass’s best book since The Tin Drum, Crabwalk is an engrossing account of the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff and a critical meditation on Germany’s struggle with its wartime memories. The Gustloff, a German cruise ship turned refugee carrier, was attacked by a Soviet submarine in January 1945. Some nine thousand people went down in the Baltic Sea, making it the deadliest maritime disaster of all time. Born to an unwed mother on a lifeboat the night of the attack, Paul Pokriefke is a middle-aged journalist trying to piece together t
