Jack&rsquo;s father was a hitman, and his brother has the same shady associates, but Jack has always tried to stay on the straight-and-narrow. Now, however, his brother has summoned him to prison and told him, in no uncertain terms, that he needs to find a girl who has disappeared&mdash;a girl who has murdered one of his associates&mdash;and murder her&mdash;or else both Jack&rsquo;s brother and their mother may be in danger. Nicolette is the girl Jack is chasing. She is definitely running from something, although perhaps not what Jack thinks she is running from. Jack and Nicolette tell the stories in alternating chapters. Nicolette is desperate, changing her name, changing her appearance, working whenever she can, always on the lookout for her chasers. Jack is methodical, tracking Nicolette, and always trying to figure out how he can get rid of her without, you know, actually killing her. Inevitably, the two meet up, but things do not proceed as either of them expects.  This fast-paced novel is an amalgam of thriller, romance, mystery, and road-trip. The characters&mdash;including minor characters&mdash;are nicely drawn and the whole thing will keep readers turning the pages to find out what happens.

"The divisions that ripped the country apart during the Vietnam War were rekindled in the struggle to bring the Vietnam Memorial to life. But unlike the war itself, that second struggle resulted in a shared reconciliation this extraordinary book charts."&#151;Ken Burns"This book is just fantastic in its insights and quality of writing."&#8212;Jan Scruggs, founder and president emeritus of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund"Superb and unexpectedly affecting . . . [The] definitive history of the memorial."&#8212;New York Times Book Review"Reston retells the story dramatically, dredging up material that many of the players in this drama might wish to remain forgotten."&#8212;Washington Post &ldquo;Searing and sweeping, Reston&rsquo;s narrative captures the political, cultural, and social ferment of those heady days of Vietnam and its aftermath with great skill and erudition. A Rift in the Earth is an indispensable guide through the cultural wars at the heart of the memorial itself, and a powerful reminder why it was so important that we find a way to move forward from the division of war to begin a healing within our country and between the United States and Vietnam.&rdquo;&#8212;John F. Kerry, 68th US Secretary of State"This is a story that needs to be told, and James Reston, Jr., tells it very well. I believe that readers will soon find themselves taking and even changing sides as the Art War in his account heats up and then reaches its conclusion. For me, the Wall and the entranceway that resulted from the Art War controversy provide a place to find closure for those who fought the war, those whose loved ones did not return, and even those who violently opposed it."&#151;Lieutenant General Ron Christmas, USMC (Retired), Former President & CEO, Marine Corps Heritage Foundation&ldquo;In A Rift in the Earth, Army veteran James Reston details the controversy surrounding the creation of the Vietnam War Memorial -- an undertaking that reopened political, moral and cultural divisions about the war long after its end. Deeply personal, as moving as it is instructive, Reston&rsquo;s account captures the complicated struggle that ensued over how to honor our Vietnam War veterans, and reminds us that in the decades following that bloody and protracted conflict, a generation of Americans continue to find healing at the powerful memorial in our nation&rsquo;s capital.&rdquo;&#8212;Senator John McCain&ldquo;A Rift in the Earth is an absolutely fascinating account of the artistic, political, personal, and cultural tensions that arose from America's most divisive war, and that led to one the country's greatest works of public art. I followed the controversy over the Vietnam Veterans memorial when it was underway, but I learned from almost every page of this book. This is a great narrative and reportorial success."&#8212;James Fallows, The Atlantic&ldquo;James Reston's clear-eyed account of how the Vietnam Veterans Memorial came to be is fascinating, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting. He illuminates the war and its complicated aftermath with a dramatic narrative of the fierce battle behind the Memorial's creation. Told from a deeply affecting personal perspective, this is an important story about the significance of art to the nation.&rdquo;&#8212;Bobbie Ann Mason, author of In Country and The Girl in the Blue Beret"The Vietnam Memorial Wall would never have existed if a handful of angry Vietnam Veterans and their influential allies had won their fight to kill the project a generation ago. Reston's riveting history of the battle for Maya Lin's unconventional and moving monument brings to life the personalities on both sides as well as the emotions that galvanized such intense disagreement and mirrored the deep rift of the war itself. Equally powerful is Reston's final "Author's Reflection," about his journey to Vietnam today to recapture the last days of a friend killed in Hue whose name is on the Wall."&#151;Myra MacPherson, author of the bestselling Long Time Passing: Vietnam and the Haunted Generation and the award-winning All Governments Lie: The Life and Times of Rebel Journalist I. F. Stone"Powerful . . . Readers will find it nearly impossible not to have visceral reactions, taking sides in these events that, in light of fights over Civil War monuments today, still seem fresh."&#151;Kirkus, starred review"Moving . . . casts a wide net of interest and will appeal to Vietnam-era scholars, art historians, and general readers."&#151;Library Journal&ldquo;Historian and Vietnam veteran Reston shares the rocky, controversy-filled story behind the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (popularly known as the Wall) in this well-written examination of how the memorial was conceived and built. . . . A creditable account of this contentious affair.&rdquo;&#8212;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Reston offers a fascinating and multifaceted account of the memorial&rsquo;s history&#8212;and politics.&rdquo;&#8212;&ldquo;Revisiting the Vietnam War&rdquo; by Neil Wyatt, Library Journal&ldquo;Reston, who served in army intelligence during the Vietnam War, dramatically and incisively chronicles the &ldquo;art war&rdquo; over the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that raged from 1979 to 1984, reopening the wounds of that tragic conflict. . . . As current battles are waged over public statues honoring leaders of the Confederacy, Reston&rsquo;s account of an earlier struggle over the art of remembrance offers a clarifying and affecting perspective.&rdquo;&#8212;Booklist&ldquo;Reston&rsquo;s newest book is not only timely, it&rsquo;s also the perfect complement to Ken Burns&rsquo;s ten-part documentary on the Vietnam War, airing now on PBS.&rdquo;&#8212;Houston Press"For those readers who believe the study of history may contain meaning for the present generation, this book, especially when combined with David Halberstam&rsquo;s The Best and the Brightest and Ken Burns&rsquo;s recent Vietnam documentary, will illuminate a dark corner in America&rsquo;s past. . . . A fitting capstone to that critical period of our history."&#8212;Lincoln Journal Star

"Although the word "concrete" doesn't generally conjure images of whimsy, the projects in Concrete Crafts are just that: delightful, creative additions to a house or garden, and best of all, surprisingly easy. Authors Zacke and Hendengren introduce the reader to the concepts of casting concrete: mixing, molding, reinforcing, insetting decorations, and treating. Thirty-two step-by-step projects follow, including a precious brood of tiny duckies molded from an ice cube tray and a stunning set of modern kitchen shelves. The beauty of this book is that after the short introduction, the reader is well-equipped and encouraged to create concrete projects of their own design."&#8212;Katie Jackson, author of Hand-Built Outdoor Furniture: 20 Step-By-Step Projects Anyone Can Build

"This unusual combination of medical and travel memoir offers candid testimony to human resilience. It also manages to be funny, relatable, and inspiring at the same time. Readers will be motivated to update their passports or, at the very least, try something new. Liebermann hits the mark with his engrossing literary debut.&rdquo; &#8212;Booklist "The Insulin Express is a very special, exciting book . . . Oren Liebermann becomes a friend as he takes his readers on a remarkable journey.&rdquo; &#8212;Eleanor Bobrow, Host, Take Charge of Your Life (WDIY/NPR) &ldquo;A must-read for anyone who loves travel, cares about their health, or just likes to have coffee with a good friend. That&rsquo;s the way The Insulin Express feels&#8212;like a long overdue chat with a buddy who&rsquo;s had some pretty amazing adventures . . . [and who] teaches us all a lot about life and love." &#8212;Elizabeth Cohen, CNN Senior Medical Correspondent &ldquo;The Insulin Express is part Casablanca-like travelogue and part suspenseful thriller. Oren and Cassie's adventure will inspire you, not only with his rich, detailed descriptions of places most of us will never visit, but also with his determination to continue on after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It's a tale of inspiration, in the truest sense of the word. . . . I cannot wait for the sequel." &#8212;Jeff Hitchcock, founder and president of Children with Diabetes "A spirited tale of a trip around the world that is only slightly interrupted by a new diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Liebermann is the rare travel writer who mixes well the wide-eyed wonder of travel with the comedic mistakes of the traveler. He doesn't let much faze him, including being suddenly thrust into life with a serious chronic condition, and his positive attitude is infectious." &#8212;Craig Idlebrook, managing editor of Insulin Nation "I often say, 'I live my life and diabetes just comes along for the ride.' In Liebermann's yearlong journey around the world, that's never been more true. At 31, Liebermann&rsquo;s body breaks down while hiking the Himalayas with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. A horrendous hospital stay in Nepal sends him home to the US to recover. Weeks later he&rsquo;s back in Southeast Asia with his wife, and his diabetes, determined to finish the trip. Upbeat, Liebermann pulls you into the sights and smells of five continents and finding your way through a life-changing illness." &#8212;Riva Greenberg, founder of Diabetes Stories
