An orphaned boy raised by a survivalist wends his way into the real
world in an emotional novel about hope, fears, and found family by
New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde. Out there is
chaos, the collapse of society, and so much to be afraid of. All
that matters is freedom. That’s what Remy Blake has been taught
by his survivalist father. Raised off the grid in the middle of
nowhere, his own survival skills not yet honed, Remy is days shy of
his eighth birthday when his father unexpectedly dies. As seasons
pass, supplies run out, and fending for himself grows more
desperate, Remy sets out on foot, unprepared for the great unknown
of civilization. He is found—near feral, silent, and
terrified—in the small rural town of Blaire. To Anne, a nurturing
mother of two adopted teenagers who’s still dealing with her own
childhood rejections, Remy is not a lost cause. Just a challenging
one. As Remy cautiously adapts to his new foster home, his family
wants nothing more than to reassure him that he can trust the
world. But to do so, they must first reexamine how much they trust
the world themselves, and how much they should. As Remy’s journey
into the real world begins, figuring out how to navigate it becomes
a path they will have to learn to walk together.
The truth behind a teenage girl’s disappearance becomes something
to conceal in a gripping novel about justice, lies, and impossible
choices by New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde.
When nineteen-year-old Jill Moss goes missing near the Utah-Arizona
border, everyone has an opinion. Only Norma Gallagher, a search and
rescue volunteer, knows the real story. Norma’s already found
Jill, huddled in a cave and terrified that her abusive boyfriend,
Jake, will kill her. If he ever sees her again. To protect Jill
from a dangerous man, Norma quietly delivers the girl to her
grateful parents in California, even though she’s conflicted.
Keeping Jill safe and hidden from Jake, the press, and the public
will be their secret. But secrets can’t last forever. Five years
later, the disappearance stirs a new media frenzy when Jake is
arrested for the murder of Jill Moss—and Norma knows he didn’t
kill her. As Jake is about to stand trial, lust for retribution
inflames public opinion and Jill’s family refuses to come
forward, forcing Norma to make a life-changing decision. What are
the consequences if she stays silent? And what are the risks if she
dares to finally tell the truth?

unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes
life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. One day Abby witnesses

reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her
survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other
people-one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits
become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship
grows. That's when Stewie discovers how much more there is to
Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing
each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns

unforgettable story of courage and finding forgiveness in an
unforgiving wilderness. Seventeen-year-old Ethan Underwood is
totally unprepared to search for his father in the Blythe River
National Wilderness. Not only is he small, scrawny, and skittish

abandon the rescue mission, suddenly it's up to Ethan to keep
looking. Angry or not, he's his father's only hope. With the help
of three locals-a fearless seventy-year-old widow, a pack guide,
and a former actor with limited outdoor skills-he heads into the
wild. The days that follow transform Ethan's world. Hail, punishing
sun, swollen rapids, and exhausting pain leave him wondering if
he's been fooled yet again: Is his father out here at all? As the
situation grows increasingly dire, Ethan realizes this quest has
become about more than finding his dad. From the bestselling author
of Pay It Forward comes a story of nature revealing human
nature-the trickiest terrain. Navigating an unforgiving landscape,
Ethan searches himself for the ability to forgive his father-if he
finds him alive.

bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde brings heartwarming
authenticity to the story of two strangers who find that kindness
is a powerful antidote to fear. Raymond Jaffe feels like he doesn't
belong. Not with his mother's new family. Not as a weekend guest
with his father and his father's wife. Not at school, where he's an
outcast. After his best friend moves away, Raymond has only two
real connections: to the feral cat he's tamed and to a blind
ninety-two-year-old woman in his building who's introduced herself
with a curious question: Have you seen Luis Velez? Mildred
Gutermann, a German Jew who narrowly escaped the Holocaust, has
been alone since her caretaker disappeared. She turns to Raymond
for help, and as he tries to track Luis down, a deep and unexpected
friendship blossoms between the two. Despondent at the loss of
Luis, Mildred isolates herself further from a neighborhood
devolving into bigotry and fear. Determined not to let her give up,
Raymond helps her see that for every terrible act the world
delivers, there is a mirror image of deep kindness, and Mildred
helps Raymond see that there's hope if you have someone to hold on
to.

From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a
feel-good story of four outcasts who learn that some bonds are
stronger than blood. On an isolated Texas ranch, Dr. Lucy cares for
abandoned animals. The solitude allows her to avoid the people and
places that remind her of the past. Not that any of the townsfolk
care. In 1959, no one is interested in a woman doctor. Nor are they
welcoming Calvin and Justin Bell, a newly arrived African American
father and son. When Pete Solomon, a neglected twelve-year-old boy,
and Justin bring a wounded wolf-dog hybrid to Dr. Lucy, the
outcasts soon find refuge in one another. Lucy never thought she'd
make connections again, never mind fall in love. Pete never
imagined he'd find friends as loyal as Justin and the dog. But
these four people aren't allowed to be friends, much less a family,
when the whole town turns violently against them. With heavy
hearts, Dr. Lucy and Pete say goodbye to Calvin and Justin. But
through the years they keep hope alive...waiting for the world to
catch up with them.

From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a
stunning, emotional story of a young soldier's unthinkable
act...and the unbreakable bonds between a sister and brother. Ruth
and her little brother, Aubrey, are just teenagers when their older
brother ships off to Iraq. When Joseph returns, uninjured, only
three and a half months later, Ruth is happy he is safe but also
deeply worried. How can it be that her courageous big brother has
been dishonorably discharged for refusing to go out on duty? Aubrey
can't believe that his hero doesn't have very good reasons. Yet as
the horrifying details of the incident emerge, Joseph disappears.

past far darker than either of them could imagine. But even as they
learn more about their brother, important questions remain
unanswered-why did he betray his unit, his country, and now his
family? Joseph's refusal to speak ignites a fire in young Aubrey
that results in a disastrous, and public, act of rebellion. The
impact of Joseph's fateful decision one night in Baghdad will echo
for years to come, with his siblings caught between their love for
him and the media's engulfing frenzy of judgment. Will their family
ever make their way back to each other and find a way to forgive?
