SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Yulin Kuang\, in conversation with Candice Lim\, discusses How to End a Love Story
DESCRIPTION:Helen Zhang hasn’t seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever. \nNow a bestselling author\, Helen pours everything into her career. She’s even scored a coveted spot in the writers’ room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels\, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer’s block\, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too. LA is the fresh start she needs. After all\, no one knows her there. Except… \nGrant has done everything in his power to move on from the past\, including building a life across the country. And while the panic attacks have never quite gone away\, he’s well liked around town as a screenwriter. He knows he shouldn’t have taken the job on Helen’s show\, but it will open doors to developing his own projects that he just can’t pass up. \nGrant’s exactly as Helen remembers him–charming\, funny\, popular\, and lovable in ways that she’s never been. And Helen’s exactly as Grant remembers too–brilliant\, beautiful\, closed off. But working together is messy\, and electrifying\, and Helen’s parents\, who have never forgiven Grant\, have no idea he’s in the picture at all. \nWhen secrets come to light\, they must reckon with the fact that theirs was never meant to be any kind of love story. And yet… the key to making peace with their past–and themselves–might just lie in holding on to each other in the present. (Avon Books) \nCandice Lim is the co-host of ICYMI\, Slate’s podcast about internet culture. She comes to Slate from NPR\, where she was an assistant producer and occasional panelist on Pop Culture Happy Hour. She graduated from Boston University and hails from Orange County\, California.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Matt Strassler discusses Waves in an Impossible Sea
DESCRIPTION:In Waves in an Impossible Sea\, physicist Matt Strassler tells a startling tale of elementary particles\, human experience\, and empty space. He begins with a simple mystery of motion. When we drive at highway speeds with the windows down\, the wind beats against our faces. Yet our planet hurtles through the cosmos at 150 miles per second\, and we feel nothing of it. How can our voyage be so tranquil when\, as Einstein discovered\, matter warps space\, and space deflects matter? \nThe answer\, Strassler reveals\, is that empty space is a sea\, albeit a paradoxically strange one. Much like water and air\, it ripples in various ways\, and we ourselves\, made from its ripples\, can move through space as effortlessly as waves crossing an ocean. Deftly weaving together daily experience and fundamental physics–the musical universe\, the enigmatic quantum\, cosmic fields\, and the Higgs boson–Strassler shows us how all things\, familiar and unfamiliar\, emerge from what seems like nothing at all.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Darcie Little Badger discusses Sheine Lende
DESCRIPTION:Shane works with her mother and their ghost dogs\, tracking down missing persons even when their families can’t afford to pay. Their own family was displaced from their traditional home years ago following a devastating flood – and the loss of Shane’s father and her grandparents. They don’t think they’ll ever get their home back. \nThen Shane’s mother and a local boy go missing\, after a strange interaction with a fairy ring. Shane\, her brother\, her friends\, and her lone\, surviving grandparent – who isn’t to be trusted – set off on the road to find them. But they may not be anywhere in this world – or this place in time. \nNevertheless\, Shane is going to find them. \nDarcie Little Badger’s Elatsoe launched her career and in the years since has become a beloved favorite. This prequel to Elatsoe\, centered on Ellie’s grandmother\, deepens and expands Darcie’s one-of-a-kind world and introduces us to another cast of characters that will wend their way around readers’ hearts.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Simone Gorrindo discusses The Wives: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:When her new husband joins an elite Army unit\, Simone Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus\, Georgia–a town so foreign she might as well have landed on the moon. With her husband frequently deployed\, Simone is left to find her place in this new world\, alone–until she meets the wives. \nGorrindo gives us an intimate look into the inner lives of a remarkable group of women and a tender\, unflinching portrait of a marriage. A love story\, an unforgettable coming-of-age tale\, and a bracing tour of the intractable divisions that plague our country today\, The Wives offers a rare and powerful gift: a hopeful stitch in the fabric of a torn America.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Trish Lundy discusses The One That Got Away with Murder
DESCRIPTION:kRobbie and Trevor Cresmont have a body count–the killer kind. Handsome and privileged\, the Crestmont brothers have enough wealth to ensure they’ll never be found guilty of any wrongdoing\, even if all of Happy Valley believes they’re behind the deaths of their ex-girlfriends. First there was soccer star Victoria Moreno\, Robbie’s ex\, who mysteriously drowned at the family lake house. Then\, a year later\, Trevor’s girlfriend died of a suspicious overdose. \nBut the Crestmonts aren’t the only ones with secrets. Lauren O’Brian might be the new girl at school\, but she’s never been a good girl. With a dark past of her own\, she’s desperate for a fresh start. Except when she starts a no-strings-attached relationship with Robbie\, her chance is put in jeopardy. During what’s meant to be their last weekend together\, Lauren stumbles across shocking evidence that just might implicate Robbie. \nWith danger closing in\, Lauren doesn’t know who to trust. And after a third death rocks the town\, she must decide whether to end things with Robbie or risk becoming another cautionary tale.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mae Ngai discusses Corky Lee’s Asian America: Fifty Years of Photographic Justice
DESCRIPTION:Known throughout his lifetime as the “undisputed\, unofficial Asian American photographer laureate\,” the late photojournalist Corky Lee documented Asian American and Pacific Islander communities for fifty years\, breaking the stereotype of Asian Americans as docile\, passive\, and\, above all\, foreign to this country. Corky Lee’s Asian America is a stunning retrospective of his life’s work–a selection of the best photographs from his vast collection\, from his start in New York’s Chinatown in the 1970s to his coverage of diverse Asian American communities across the country until his untimely passing in 2021. \nCorky Lee’s Asian America traces Lee’s decades-long quest for photographic justice\, following Asian American social movements for recognition and rights alongside his artistic development as an activist social photographer. Iconic photographs feature protests against police brutality in New York in the 1970s\, a Sikh man draped in an American flag after 9/11\, and a reenactment of the completion of the transcontinental railroad of 1869 featuring descendants of Chinese railroad workers\, and his last photos of community life and struggle during the coronavirus pandemic. \nAsian American writers\, artists\, activists\, and friends of Lee reflect on his life and career and provide rich historical and cultural context to his photographs\, including a foreword from writer Hua Hsu and contributions from artist Ai Weiwei\, filmmaker Renée Tajima-Peña\, writer Helen Zia\, photographer Alan Chin\, historian Gordon Chang\, playwright David Henry Hwang\, and more. \nFeaturing never-before-seen photographs alongside his best-known images\, Corky Lee’s Asian America represents Lee’s mission to chronicle a history of inclusion\, resistance\, ethnic pride\, and patriotism. This is a remarkable documentation of vital moments in Asian American history and a timely reminder that it’s also a history that we continue to make.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Michael Ramos discusses The After: A Veteran's Notes on Coming Home
DESCRIPTION:When Michael Ramos enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to serve as a chaplain’s bodyguard thirteen days before 9/11\, he had no idea he would soon be sent to Iraq. But he embraced the posting\, combat service\, and career for a decade\, until\, at age thirty-four\, the military told him his skill set was no longer relevant. Through divorce and remarriage\, his son’s choice to enlist in the Marines\, the loss of friends to war and suicide\, and his inability to sleep or rest\, Michael struggled with the return to civilian life\, and particularly with civilian attitudes toward veterans. \nIn twenty-four concussive\, embodied\, and nonlinear essays\, Michael creates a challenging and complex portrait of what it means to be a warrior\, civilian\, veteran\, father\, husband\, and teacher–for he ultimately uses the skills he developed in the military to help others find meaning in their lives. While this may sound like a redemption story\, it is instead a brutally honest portrayal that refuses easy answers and seeks to help other war veterans realize they’re not alone as they search for their place in the world.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kaveh Akbar discusses Martyr!
DESCRIPTION:Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother’s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father’s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk\, an addict\, and a poet\, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past–toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying\, and toward his mother\, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed. \nKaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning–in faith\, art\, ourselves\, others. (Knopf Publishing Group) \n“Kaveh Akbar is one of my favorite writers. Ever.” –Tommy Orange\, Pulitzer Prize-nominated author of There There \n“The best novel you’ll ever read about the joy of language\, addiction\, displacement\, martyrdom\, belonging\, homesickness.” –Lauren Groff\, best-selling author of Matrix and Fates and Furies

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: James Charles Darnborough discusses The Gambler’s Game
DESCRIPTION:In the twilight of the 19th century\, as the Old West collides with the opulence of the Gilded Age\, one man embarks on a journey that will redefine his life. The Gambler’s Game is a captivating historical fiction saga that follows the extraordinary life of a mid-western baseball player turned high-stakes gambler. His audacious spirit leads him from the dust chocked plains to the refined ambiance of English garden parties and the allure of Belle Epoque Monte Carlo. \nThis romantic and fast-paced tale will transport you to a time when anything was possible\, where dreams were chased\, and risks were taken. \nThis is a story of self-discovery in a rapidly changing world. The Gambler’s Game lures readers into a realm where the echoes of gunshots meet the clinking of champagne glasses\, and the magnificent network of railways and steamships takes the reader on grand adventures. \nBill ultimately finds himself torn between his love of gambling and a woman who might make him give it all up.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Shaina Steinberg discusses Under the Paper Moon
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1942\, and as far as her father knows\, Evelyn Bishop\, heiress to an aeronautics fortune\, is working as a translator in London. In truth\, Evelyn–daring\, beautiful\, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages–has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother\, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher\, growing ever close to him until the war’s end brings with it an act of deep betrayal. \nSix years later\, Evelyn is back home in Los Angeles\, working as a private investigator. The war was supposed to change everything\, yet Evelyn\, contemplating marriage to her childhood sweetheart\, feels stifled by convention. Then the suspected cheating husband she’s tailing is murdered\, and suddenly Evelyn is back in Nick’s orbit again. \nTeaming up for a final mission\, Evelyn and Nick begin to uncover the true nature of her case– and realize that the war has followed them home. For beyond the public horrors waged by nations there are countless secret\, desperate acts that still reverberate on both continents\, and threaten everything Evelyn holds dear.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Vroman’s presents Alua Arthur discusses Briefly Perfectly Human
DESCRIPTION:For her clients and everyone who has been inspired by her humanity\, Alua Arthur is a friend at the end of the world. As our country’s leading death doula\, she’s spreading a transformative message: thinking about your death–whether imminent or not–will breathe wild\, new potential into your life. \nWarm\, generous\, and funny AF\, Alua supports and helps manage end-of-life care on many levels. The business matters\, medical directives\, memorial planning; but also honoring the quiet moments\, when monitors are beeping and loved ones have stepped out to get some air–or maybe not shown up at all–and her clients become deeply contemplative and want to talk. Aching\, unfinished business often emerges. Alua has been present for thousands of these sacred moments–when regrets\, fears\, secret joys\, hidden affairs\, and dim realities are finally said aloud. When this happens\, Alua focuses her attention at the pulsing center of her clients’ anguish and creates space for them\, and sometimes their loved ones\, to find peace. \nThis has had a profound effect on Alua\, who was already no stranger to death’s periphery. Her family fled a murderous coup d’état in Ghana in the 1980s. She has suffered major\, debilitating depressions. And her dear friend and brother-in-law died of lymphoma. Advocating for him in his final months is what led Alua to her life’s calling. She knows firsthand the power of bearing witness and telling the truth about life’s painful complexities\, because they do not disappear when you look the other way. They wait for you. \nBriefly Perfectly Human is a life-changing\, soul-gathering debut\, by a writer whose empathy\, tenderness\, and wisdom shimmers on the page. Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving\, courageous end-of-life care–what she calls “death embrace.” Hers is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives\, by embracing the fact of our own mortality. “Hold that truth in your mind\,” Alua says\, “and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.” (Mariner Books) \nTembi Locke is a New York Times bestselling author\, TV producer\, actor\, and screenwriter with a passion for connecting with her audience both on the page and on the screen. In partnership with Hello Sunshine\, Tembi served as co-creator and executive producer for the adaptation of her memoir\, “From Scratch: A Memoir of Love\, Sicily\, and Finding Home\,” for Netflix. The series\, “From Scratch\,” became an instant global hit\, spending weeks on Netflix’s Top Ten List in over thirty countries around the world and earning six NAACP Image Award nominations and the prestigious Los Angeles Film Italy award. Her aforementioned memoir was also a Reese’s Book Club pick and an instant bestseller. Tembi and her sister\, Attica\, are currently under an overall development deal with Universal Television \nIn addition to her accomplishments as a writer and producer\, Tembi is an accomplished actor with over sixty film and television credits. She most recently held a recurring role on Netflix’s hit show\, “Never Have I Ever.” Offscreen\, she is a nationally recognized speaker\, delivering keynotes on resilience\, loss\, creativity and the power of storytelling.  Her TEDx talk has been viewed by individuals and nonprofits around the world. She launched her podcast\, “Lifted\,” which features dynamic women sharing their stories of what and who have lifted their lives. Through her work Tembi aims to inspire people to embrace resilience\, love\, and the power of community. \nThis ticketed event will take place in the Forum at All Saints Church located at 132 N Euclid Ave\, Pasadena. \nTickets include one copy of Briefly Perfectly Human which will be handed out at check-in.\nA book signing will follow the discussion.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Holly Gramazio discusses The Husbands
DESCRIPTION:When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night\, she is greeted at the door by her husband\, Michael. There’s only one problem–she’s not married. She’s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends\, her much-improved decor\, and the photos on her phone\, they’ve been together for years. \nAs Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting\, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place\, a new man emerges\, and a new\, slightly altered life re-forms around her. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands\, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb\, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Joanne Leedom-Ackerman and Adam Sikes present their latest releases\, The Far Side of the Desert and The Underhanded
DESCRIPTION:The Far Side of the Desert: A terrorist attack–a Kidnapping–the ultimate vacation gone Wrong \nSisters Samantha and Monte Waters are vacationing together in Santiago de Compostela\, Spain\, enjoying a festival and planning to meet with their brother\, Cal–but the idyllic plans are short-lived. When terrorists’ attacks rock the city around them\, Monte\, a U.S. foreign service officer\, and Samantha\, an international television correspondent\, are separated\, and one of them is whisked away in the frenzy. \nThe family mobilizes\, using all their contacts to try to find their missing sister\, but to no avail. She has vanished. As time presses on\, the outlook darkens. Can she be found\, or is she a lost cause? And\, even if she returns\, will the damage to her and those around her be irreparable? \nMoving from Spain to Washington to Morocco to Gibraltar to the Sahara Desert\, The Far Side of the Desert is a family drama and political thriller that explores links of terrorism\, crime\, and financial manipulation\, revealing the grace that ultimately foils destruction. (Oceanview Publishing) \n  \nThe Underhanded: Europe’s last line of defense against neofascism–a history professor? \nProfessor William Dresden has found solitude in the south of France to grapple with his troubled past–a neglected upbringing failed romances\, the recent demolition of his life’s work in academia\, and even witnessing genocide\, among other secrets. But he soon learns that he has much larger problems when an adrift MI6 officer\, Adeline Parker\, calls and insists on a meeting\, revealing shocking information about his family. Then a bomb explodes. \nWilliam and Adeline narrowly escape the attempt on their lives and find themselves battling a group of neofascists and extreme nationalists who are inciting violent divisions across Europe. They are pulled into a shadowy war against a cabal called the Strasbourg Executive and pushed to the brink by family betrayals\, corrupt institutions\, and the Executive’s subversive plots against the fabric of Western society.\nTo survive\, William must make tough decisions and act in ways he could’ve never previously imagined–but even that might not be enough.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Wendy Chen\, in conversation with Alexandra Chang\, discusses Their Divine Fires
DESCRIPTION:In 1917\, at the dawn of the Chinese Revolution\, Yunhong grew up in the southern China countryside and fell deeply in love with the son of a wealthy landlord despite her brother’s objections. On the night of her wedding\, her brother destroys the marriage before it has even lasted a day and irrevocably changes the shape of Yunhong’s family; her daughter Yuexin will never know her father. Haunted by a history that she will never fully understand\, Yuexin passes those memories onto her daughters Hongxing and Yonghong\, who come of age in the years following Mao’s death\, battling the push and pull of political forces as they forge their own paths. Each generation guards its secrets\, leaving Emily\, great-granddaughter of Yunhong and living in contemporary America\, to piece together what actually happened between her mother\, her sister\, and the weight of their shared ancestry. \nDrawing on the lives of her great-grandmother and her great-uncles–both of whom fought on the side of the Communists–as well as her mother’s experiences during the Cultural Revolution\, Wendy Chen infuses Their Divine Fires with a passion that will transport the reader back to powerful moments in history while bringing us close to the women who persisted despite the forces all around them. Both brilliant and haunting\, it’s a story about what our ancestors will\, and won’t\, tell us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Marcelo Verdad discusses The Dream Catcher
DESCRIPTION:For fans of Last Stop on Market Street\, an uplifting story about a boy who stays true to his biggest dream while finding the magic in every moment. \nSome people dream of perfect waves\, fancy castles\, or piloting a plane. Others dream of someone to laugh and play with all day long. Some just dream of having a meal for the next day. \nAnd little Miguel? As he and Abuelito work in the hot Oaxacan sun\, selling cold coconuts and macrame dream catchers to earn a few coins\, Miguel has only one simple wish–to have his parents by his side. But how can he keep the faith when the truth is that dreams don’t always come to pass? \nMarcelo Verdad’s poignant tale of hope and resilience shows how living in the here and now can be a journey every bit as beautiful as a dream.
