Haunted by the last question their mother ever asked them, the Greyson brothers struggle to cope with their grief and adjust to life after tragedy. Semi-popular sixteen-year-old Liam spends his nights performing as the lead singer of his high school indie pop/rock band, Liam and the Landmarks. But something happened to Liam two years ago at his friend's house - a secret Liam will take to his grave. But in small towns like Summit, Colorado, secrets always seem to find their way out. Twenty-four-year-old Ezra thought that he could cure his grief when he left Summit behind for a prestigious art school in Chicago, but things only got worse. Now a college dropout working at a gas station mini mart, he turns to alcohol, prescription painkillers, and meaningless one-night stands. But Ezra can't run forever - life always catches up with you. With striking and abrasively honest dual-perspective narratives, Every Bright and Broken Thing illustrates the unbreakable bond between brothers and the power in coming home.

A novel about one family wading through the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010, from the acclaimed author who has been compared to Toni Morrison “at the height of her power” (Harper’s Bazaar)—a haunting and astonishing story of restoration and disaster, motherhood, and the bonds that carry through generations. Genevieve, a single mother, flies from New York to Port-au-Prince with her teenage son, Miles. The trip is meant to be an education for fifteen-year-old Miles—a chance to learn about his family’s roots while coming to terms with his father’s departure—but it’s also an excuse for Genevieve to escape the city, where her life is dominated by her failed marriage and the daily pressures of raising Black children in America. For Genevieve, the journey is also a homecoming of sorts: An opportunity to visit the island she remembers from childhood and reconnect with family. But when the country is rocked by a massive earthquake—decimating the city and putting their lives at risk—their visit becomes a nightmare of survival. Written before the horrific earthquake that struck Haiti in 2021, The Garden of Broken Things delivers readers beyond the headlines and into the shattered world of a distant family—coming together, forced apart—suddenly brought to the brink.

The odds of survival stood against her. Tortured near death, her spirit broken. Abi fought for her life and the one within her. A team of local authorities led by FBI agents finally rescued her and the infant girl. Abi ached to be reunited with her family. After a recovery period in the hospital she was, but the horror followed her home. At home, tension grew between them; Abi had asked Jesse to be the legal father of her daughter. Jesse would do anything for Abi, but he didn't expect this. Could he love the baby of a serial killer, or was it more than he could manage? Abi began to suffer from a precarious state of a misunderstood emotional condition. Domestic trauma in the early '70s was a field that remained unexplored.

A ruthless killer filled with rage on the loose. His sights were fixed on Abi and her family. An expert in stealth with a growing record of murders, that worried local chief of police, Reed Walters. Walters could not afford to let him slip away into the night. If he could just find him, or make sense out of what little he did have? It was a problem with no trail to follow or any sign of his whereabouts. Reed Walters didn't like someone jerking his strings, nor was he one to be fooled with. Things spiked when an assault on Jesse left him near death. That was followed shortly by an FBI agent forced into a violent auto crash. Reed knew he was running out of time, and there wasn't much to go on. The urgency of capturing this killer became a driving force. Pushing Walters into the mode of his former expertise as a Delta Force operative in Vietnam. He had his own set of finely honed skills. Reed had never failed on any mission and he wasn't about to start now.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This inspiring guide to healing and growth illuminates the richness and potential of every life, even in the face of loss and adversity—now updated with additional toolbox materials and a new preface by the author In the more than twenty-five years since she co-founded Omega Institute—now the world’s largest center for spiritual retreat and personal growth—Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed? Lesser shares tales of ordinary people who have risen from the ashes of illness, divorce, loss of a job or a loved one—stronger, wiser, and more in touch with their purpose and passion. And she draws on the world’s great spiritual and psychological traditions to support us as we too learn to break open and blossom into who we were meant to be.
