kindle daily deal
Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum
F or fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American soldier and went to live with him in Minnesota. Trudy’s sole evidence of the past is an old photograph: a family portrait showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer, the Obersturmfuhrer of Buchenwald.
Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother’s life.
Combining a passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life during the war, and a poignant mother/daughter drama, Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.

Bargain Kindle Book – Beautiful Disaster
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
T he new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs–and wants–to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’ apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
Reviews
“Six words, three sentences: Buy it. Devour it. Love it.
And you will absolutely love it. I give you my word.
Beautiful Disaster is heartwarming and heartbreaking, beautifully written, wonderfully told, passionate and often witty love story, that doesn’t just explore the warm, sweet side of love, but also the complicated and messy side.
It was an amazing ride, full of great characters, exciting and sigh-worthy moments, drama, laughter, and countless emotions.” -Amazon review Sabina Dezman
“This was a complete surprise for me because I’m annoyingly particular about contemporary romance. But Beautiful Disaster drew me in like a drug. Jamie McGuire is a seriously addictive writer. I don’t know what it is she has, but it’s the kind of magic that compels you to read on after every chapter.” – Amazon reviewer S. Young (UK)
“Jamie McGuire is the “next big thing” in literature. She is an amazing writer that knows how to keep the reader on the edge of their seat wanting to know what is going to happen next.” – Amazon reviewer AvidReader
“This book’s been getting a lot of buzz….and believe me, there is a reason for this. Beautiful Disaster is an unbelievable read.
Although some categorize this one as a young adult read….please don’t let that deter you. This book reads like an adult contemporary romance. The characters are in their first year of college and this book will definitely bring you back to those days!” – Amazon reviewer Krista Lyn

Daughters for a Time by Jennifer Handford
W hen Helen Francis was a child, her mother died and her father walked out, leaving her to be raised by her older sister. Now thirty-five, married, and trying to start a family of her own, Helen has moved on but never really healed from her traumatic childhood. She has always believed that a new baby would help fill the loss of what was taken from her at such a young age. After four years of trying to become pregnant, however, she is resigned to the fact that she will never be able to bear children. Halfheartedly accepting adoption as an alternative, Helen gradually embraces and grows excited over the prospect. And when her new baby is finally in her arms, true happiness washes over her. But her unimaginable bliss is dashed when she learns that Claire, the sister who raised and loved her throughout her childhood and adult life, has been diagnosed with cancer.
For Helen, the pain of her childhood returns and the old wounds of abandonment are once again torn open. Balancing the joy of her new daughter with the painful experience of watching her sister, the physical embodiment of unconditional love in her life, slowly die, Helen must reconcile her inner feelings and heal her broken spirit. A heart-wrenching exploration of the ties that bind us and the lasting pain of childhood loss,Daughters for a Time is about longing for a family to heal a broken heart, experiencing unconditional love as a parent, and finding solid ground to stand on when suffering and elation have equally powerful holds on our life.
Reviews
“A wrenching, resonant debut about infertility, cancer and adoption. Grab your hankies.”
–People magazine
“Equally heartfelt and hopeful, Daughters for a Time is a powerful exploration of what it means to be a mother, a sister, a daughter. Tender and poignant, Handford weaves a captivatingly honest story that will have you smiling and weeping throughout — often within the same paragraph.” –Heather Gudenkauf – New York Times Best-selling Author of The Weight of Silence and These Things Hidden
“Daughters for a Time is a brutally honest but captivating peek at the powerful hold human connections and the pursuit of motherhood can have on the human spirit….A story filled with the truths of compassion, dedication and losses many of us must face in life… [It] will draw you in and have you rooting for [protagonist] Helen Francis.” –Kay Bratt, Author of Silent Tears: A Journey of Hope in a Chinese Orphanage

J ane Austen meets Pretty Little Liars in this fresh, new young-adult series!
* * *
The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. Please. They need to stay focused on something that lasts much longer: an acceptance letter from an Ivy.
But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it’s about to turn the Academy–and the lives of its students–totally upside down…

To say Lizzie and Dante are polar opposites is the understatement of the century. He’s a snooty Exeter transfer with more money than Google. She’s a driven study-a-holic barely keeping up with tuition. It’s obvious that Dante thinks he’s way too good for Lizzie. And Lizzie knows Dante is a snob with a gift for pushing her buttons.
But things are changing fast this year at the Academy. And when Lizzie’s quest to stop those changes blows up in her face, taking her oldest friendship with it, she has nowhere else to turn but to Dante, with his killer blue eyes, his crazy-sexy smile, and his secrets… Secrets Lizzie can’t seem to leave alone, no matter how hard she tries…

Kindle Daily Deal – Desperate Passage: The Donner Party’s Perilous Journey West
kindle daily deal
Desperate Passage: The Donner Party’s Perilous Journey West by Ethan Rarick
I n late October 1846, the last wagon train of that year’s westward migration stopped overnight before resuming its arduous climb over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, unaware that a fearsome storm was gathering force. After months of grueling travel, the 81 men, women and children would be trapped for a brutal winter with little food and only primitive shelter. The conclusion is known: by spring of the next year, the Donner Party was synonymous with the most harrowing extremes of human survival. But until now, the full story of what happened–and what it tells us about human nature and about America’s westward expansion–remained shrouded in myth.
Drawing on fresh archeological evidence, recent research on topics ranging from survival rates to snowfall totals, and heartbreaking letters and diaries made public by descendants a century-and-a-half after the tragedy, Ethan Rarick offers an intimate portrait of the Donner party and their unimaginable ordeal: a mother who must divide her family, a little girl who shines with courage, a devoted wife who refuses to abandon her husband, a man who risks his life merely to keep his word. Rarick resists both the gruesomely sensationalist accounts of the Donner party as well as later attempts to turn the survivors into archetypal pioneer heroes. “The Donner Party,” Rarick writes, “is a story of hard decisions that were neither heroic nor villainous. Often, the emigrants displayed a more realistic and typically human mixture of generosity and selfishness, an alloy born of necessity.”
A fast-paced, heart-wrenching, clear-eyed narrative history, Desperate Passage casts new light on one of America’s most horrific encounters between the dream of a better life and the harsh realities such dreams so often must confront.
Reviews
“His is the first significant book, written, like Stewart’s, in a novelistic mode and likely to gain popular readership, to incorporate this new data…. Rarick’s account is not really about science; it’s about humanity…. Rarick has done his homework.”–New York Times Book Review
“This sober, unflinching look at one of the great tragedies of America’s pioneering past tells us a great deal that is new about the Donner Party’s trials. Rarick scythes away the myths of one of the nation’s better-known sagas, and offers up this horrific but ennobling tale in all its freshly researched detail. Readers take heed: this is a tough book, but a gripping one.”–Simon Winchester, author of Krakatoa
“Rarick takes an evenhanded and thorough approach to the story of the Donners’ covered-wagon migration across the country and their winter entrapment in the Sierras. His telling is evocative and easy to read.”–Seattle Times
“Desperate Passage is the most up-to-date narrative history of the Donner Party available today and as such is a welcome addition to the literature. General readers, especially those who know of the Donner party only as the cannibal wagon train, will undoubtedly find it a fascinating read.”–Overland Journal
“Many books tell the Donner story, but none digs as deep for the truth as Ethan Rarick’s Desperate Passage: The Donner Party’s Perilous Journey West…. With personal details…bringing a human touch to the story, Desperate Passage succeeds in rescuing the Donner Party from 162 years of infamy.”–Tacoma News Tribune
“A history of the first rank – precise, restrained and compelling…. Desperate Passage makes a gripping tale, and Rarick makes a scrupulous guide.”–Cleveland Plain Dealer
“With a reporter’s doggedness and a scholar’s thoroughness, Rarick has clarified the historical details. … Rarick makes this compelling frontier drama all the more so.”–National Geographic Adventure Magazine
“A clean, chilling cautionary story of misjudgment and perseverance…. Rarick deals with this most extreme of issues [cannibalism] with the evenhandedness and lack of melodrama that characterize the book throughout.” –Houston Chronicle
“A well-written, copiously documented account.”–Deseret Morning News
“Reads like a novel, and for those who are drawn to American history…coupled with one of the most grisly survival tales in history, then this is the absolute book for you.”–Monsters and Critics website
“Desperate Passage is a wise book, not only a horror or an adventure story but a universal and timeless tale about acts of desperation performed by average people under extreme conditions – a situation that can befall coal miners in Utah, soccer teams in the Andes, occupants of the World Trade Center, or readers of the book.”–Philip L. Fradkin, author of Wallace Stegner and the American West
“Rarick illuminates this classic America stage through a deftly told drama of courage and cowardice…with a fascinating cast ranging from the iconic American Everyman to the astonishing scoundrels.”–Van Gordon Sauter, former President, CBSNews
“Like the foreboding passages in an operatic overture, the ordeal of the Donner Party warned Americans that tragedy could not be banished from this newly acquired province. In this meticulously detailed narrative, Ethan Rarick presents the full horror and bravery of a dystopian episode that would forever qualify the California experience.”–Kevin Starr, University of Southern California, author of Americans and the California Dream
“The story of the ill-fated Donner Party’s trek across the country is the reverse image of Lewis and Clark’s: seemingly everything that could go wrong, did go wrong — from bad leadership to disastrous choices, from fatal accidents to murderous fights, and finally a ghastly ordeal in the Sierra snows. It’s a remarkable story for all generations, and with the advantage of updated research and a keen eye for detail, Ethan Rarick builds a quick-moving narrative.”–Dayton Duncan, author of Out West: An American Journey Along the Lewis and Clark Trail

Reviews
Smith has a keen eye for material details, but her prose is lucid and uncluttered by heavy description. Imagine a satire on Cool Britannia made by the Coen Brothers. –Times Literary Supplement
A screwball comedy that really works. –The Independent
This is a novel in which the ordinary and the unusual are constantly juxtaposed in various idiosyncratic characters… Its airy quirkiness is a delight. –The Times
Smith’s world is as wacky as Nicola Barker’s, but much funnier, less disquieting. Perhaps the Evelyn Waugh of Decline and Fall comes closer… She is a great snapper-up of unconsidered trifles… Wicked! –Time Out

Bargain Kindle Book – The Hand That First Held Mine
The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O’Farrell
L exie Sinclair is plotting an extraordinary life for herself.
Hedged in by her parents’ genteel country life, she plans her escape to London. There, she takes up with Innes Kent, a magazine editor who wears duck-egg blue ties and introduces her to the thrilling, underground world of bohemian, post-war Soho. She learns to be a reporter, to know art and artists, to embrace her life fully and with a deep love at the center of it. She creates many lives–all of them unconventional. And when she finds herself pregnant, she doesn’t hesitate to have the baby on her own.
Later, in present-day London, a young painter named Elina dizzily navigates the first weeks of motherhood. She doesn’t recognize herself: she finds herself walking outside with no shoes; she goes to the restaurant for lunch at nine in the morning; she can’t recall the small matter of giving birth. But for her boyfriend, Ted, fatherhood is calling up lost memories, with images he cannot place.
As Ted’s memories become more disconcerting and more frequent, it seems that something might connect these two stories– these two women– something that becomes all the more heartbreaking and beautiful as they all hurtle toward its revelation.
Here Maggie O’Farrell brings us a spellbinding novel of two women connected across fifty years by art, love, betrayals, secrets, and motherhood. Like her acclaimed The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, it is a “breathtaking, heart-breaking creation.”*And it is a gorgeous inquiry into the ways we make and unmake our lives, who we know ourselves to be, and how even our most accidental legacies connect us.
*The Washington Post Book World

“Maggie O’Farrell knows how to weave a bewitching tale, both thrilling and poetic. The Hand That First Held Mine will no doubt enrapture you, just as it has me.” —Tatiana de Rosnay, author of Sarah’s Key
“An exquisitely sensual tale of love, motherhood, and other forms of madness, The Hand That First Held Mine will unsettle, move, and haunt you.” —Emma Donoghue, author of Slammerkin
