SUMMARY:Grant Jarrett: The Half-Life of Remorse
DESCRIPTION:In The Half-Life of Remorse\, three life-scarred people are brought together to confront each other thirty years after the brutal crime that shattered their lives. \nWhen two vagrants meet on the streets of Muncie\, Indiana\, they are both unaware that their paths crossed years before. Chic\, crude and uneducated\, is convinced that Sam is nothing more than a harmless lunatic\, and Sam\, emotionally scarred and psychologically traumatized by events long past\, regards Chic as just another denizen of the street. But Chic has spent his adult life trying to purge his soul of the brutal crime he committed as a teenager?the same botched burglary that resulted in the deaths of Sam’s wife and son. Meanwhile\, Sam’s daughter Claire is still unable to give up hope that her father might someday reappear. When these three lives converge\, the puzzle of the past gradually falls together\, but redemption commands a high price\, and what is revealed will test the limits of love and challenge the human capacity for forgiveness. \nGrant Jarrett lived in Manhattan for twenty years before moving to Marin County\, CA\, where he now works as a writer\, ghostwriter\, editor\, musician\, and occasional songwriter. His publishing credits include numerous magazine articles\, essays\, short stories\, and More Towels\, his coming-of-age memoir about life on the road. His debut novel\, Ways of Leaving\, won the Best New Fiction category in the 2014 International Book Awards. The House That Made Me\, his 2016 anthology about the meaning of home\, was chosen as an Elle “Trust Us” book. Jarrett is an avid cyclist\, skier\, and surf skier.

SUMMARY:Gabrielle Zevin: Young Jane Young
DESCRIPTION:Aviva Grossman\, an ambitious congressional intern in Florida\, makes the mistake of having an affair with her boss–and blogging about it. When the affair comes to light\, the beloved congressman doesn’t take the fall. But Aviva does\, and her life is over before it hardly begins: slut-shamed\, she becomes a late-night talk show punch line\, anathema to politics. \nShe sees no way out but to change her name and move to a remote town in Maine. This time\, she tries to be smarter about her life and strives to raise her daughter\, Ruby\, to be strong and confident. But when\, at the urging of others\, Aviva decides to run for public office herself\, that long-ago mistake trails her via the Internet and catches up–an inescapable scarlet A. In the digital age\, the past is never\, ever\, truly past. And it’s only a matter of time until Ruby finds out who her mother was and is forced to reconcile that person with the one she knows. \nYoung Jane Young is a smart\, funny\, and moving novel about what it means to be a woman of any age\, and captures not just the mood of our recent highly charged political season\, but also the double standards alive and well in every aspect of life for women. \nGabrielle Zevin is a New York Times bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than thirty languages. Her eighth novel\, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry\, spent more than four months on the New York Times Bestseller list\, reached #1 on the National Indie Bestseller list\, and has been a bestseller all around the world. She has also written books for children and young adults\, including the award-winning Elsewhere.
