At an elite private school nestled in the Colorado mountains, a tangled web of lies draws together three vastly different women. Natalie, a young office assistant, dreams of having a life like the school moms she deals with every day. Women like Brooke-a gorgeous heiress, ferociously loving mother and serial cheater-and Asha, an overachieving and overprotective mom who suspects her husband of having an affair.
Their fates are bound by their relationships with the handsome, charming assistant athletic director Nicholas, who Natalie loves, Brooke wants and Asha needs. But when two bodies are carried out of the school early one morning, it seems the jealousy between mothers and daughters, rival lovers and the haves and have-nots has shattered the surface of this isolated, affluent town-a town where people will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Set in a world of vast ranches, chalet-style apartments and mountain mansions, The Lying Club is a juicy thriller of revenge, murder and a shocking conspiracy-one in which the victims aren't who you might think.
A moving and joyous novel about an elderly woman ready to embrace death and the little girl who reminds her what it means to live.
Eudora Honeysett is done with this noisy, moronic world—all of it. She has witnessed the indignities and suffering of old age and has lived a full life. At eighty-five, she isn’t going to leave things to chance. Her end will be on her terms. With one call to a clinic in Switzerland, a plan is set in motion.
Then she meets ten-year-old Rose Trewidney, a whirling, pint-sized rainbow of sparkling cheer. All Eudora wants is to be left alone to set her affairs in order. Instead, she finds herself embarking on a series of adventures with the irrepressible Rose and their affable neighbor, the recently widowed Stanley—afternoon tea, shopping sprees, trips to the beach, birthday celebrations, pizza parties.
While the trio of unlikely BFFs grow closer and anxiously await the arrival of Rose’s new baby sister, Eudora is reminded of her own childhood—of losing her father during World War II and the devastating impact it had on her entire family. In reflecting on her past, Eudora realizes she must come to terms with what lies ahead.
But now that her joy for life has been rekindled, how can she possibly say goodbye?

There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. And one of the triggers for that war would be a nuclear missile inbound toward the United States.
Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have.
Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.

Anni Baker has created a fascinating exploration of life in the
armed forces, as it has been experienced by millions of men, women,
and children over the past six decades. Her book examines the
factors that shape military service and military culture, from
grueling training exercises to sexual relations with local women,
from overseas duty to the peculiar life of the military "brat." The
book begins with an examination of the enlistment process, follows
the military lifecycle through career decisions, promotions,
raising families, and retirement, explores the impact of war on
military society, and ends with a discussion of the place of the
armed forces in the United States. A wide variety of sources were
used in this study, including contemporary scholarship, government
and military records, public media, and, most important, interviews
and written materials from military personnel, retirees, family
members, and civilian employees. Using a lively and readable style,
Baker blends clear explanations of elements of military life,
information on the development of military society, and the voices
of those who serve into an insightful account of this fascinating
subculture. It is the author's view that not only is study of the
U.S. military a valuable undertaking in itself, but in addition it
will enrich our perspective on civilian life and culture in the
United States. The military is a distinct society based on a set of
common values that are sometimes, though not always, at odds with
those of civilian society. The extent to which active duty
personnel, family members and civilians internalize these values
dictates their comfort with military life and their choice of a
military career.Through a discussion of life in the military, Baker
examines how the values, traditions and norms of the armed forces
are articulated and shared, how they influence the individual and
the institution, and what their role is in American society as a
whole.
