Fern Michaels
The New York Times bestselling author and publishing icon Fern Michaels weaves one of
her most spellbinding stories yet in this brand-new, original hardcover—a deeply moving
tale of love, family, and second chances …
tlanta homicide detective Patrick “Tick” Kelly was devoted to his career, until the day his wife and children were murdered. For years,
he nursed his grief with Jack Daniels; now sober, he’s a bestselling author living in his isolated stilt house in Mango Key, Florida.
A
Kate Rush has resigned from her job with the DEA, but she’s been persuaded to take an unofficial assignment—keeping tabs on a mysterious
compound in Mango Key. The fortress-like mansion, close to Tick’s home, is believed to be the base for a human trafficking ring. At first, Kate
suspects Tick is involved. But as their mutual mistrust dissolves, Kate and Tick make it their goal to uncover the truth. And as Tick slowly
emerges from his shell, he starts to glimpse a second chance at happiness …

LESSONS FROM
THE MOUNTAIN
Mary McDonough
In this fascinating memoir, Mary McDonough—forever known as Erin Walton—gives
readers an intimate look behind-the-scenes of one of the most-watched television shows of
all-time, and reveals an inspiring story of challenges and personal triumph.
ary McDonough was ten years old when she was cast as the pretty, wholesome Erin on The Waltons. She grew into adulthood in front
of millions of fans, alternately embracing and rebelling against her good-girl screen persona.
M
In Lessons from the Mountain, McDonough recounts her transformation from a working-class kid to a Hollywood child star. She shares
fascinating memories of growing up Walton—sneaking off to steal candy from Ike Godsey’s store; developing crushes on guest stars; and
becoming part of a tight-knit second family who played, worked, hugged, and squabbled together.
With wit and insight, McDonough recounts her struggle to shed her squeaky-clean image in the years that followed. Battling depression,
insecurity, and body issues, she learned to stand up not just for herself but for others as well. Lessons from the Mountain is the funny,
heartbreaking, and illuminating story of everything McDonough learned on her journey over that famous mountain, and an irresistible window into television history.

“She’s a radiant woman whose truth comes from within … if I had to pick one word that described Mary Beth, it would be resilience.”
—Earl Hamner, Creator of The Waltons
“Mary has had the courage to face her fears and pain, and consequently is living a richer, fuller life. That’s Mary; full of life!”
—Michael Learned
“An inspiring story of a young woman who has chosen to take the high road and turn struggles into triumph. Mary’s spirit shines through in
all she does; Waltons fans will treasure an opportunity to see the woman behind the pretty face of one of their favorite family members, and
even non-Waltons watchers will cheer her perseverance.” —Judy Norton
“Mary's story is compelling for many different reasons; I like the ‘child-stars-gone-good’ story that so many of us are, and Mary is one of my
oldest and dearest friends.” —Eric Scott

Mary Monroe
The New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe returns to the turbulent 1940s she
painted with “verve and humor and passion*” in her acclaimed novel The Upper Room to
bring you the early years of one of the most indomitable heroines in contemporary literature.
rowing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, Ruby Jean Upshaw is the kind of girl who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. By the time
she’s 15, Ruby has developed a taste for fast men and cheap liquor, and not even her preacher daddy can set her straight. Most everyone
in the neighborhood knows you don’t cross Ruby. Only Othella Mae Cartier, daughter of the town tramp, understands what makes Ruby tick.

shocking revelation, convinces Ruby to run off with her to New Orleans.
But nothing can erase Ruby’s memories of the child she lost—or quell her simmering rage at Othella for persuading her to let her precious
baby go. If there’s a fine line between best friend and worst nightmare, Ruby is surely treading it. Because someday, there will be a reckoning. And when it comes, Othella will learn the hard way that no one knows how to exact revenge quite like Ruby Jean Upshaw …
