SUMMARY:Sigrid Carter
DESCRIPTION:Sigrid Carter’s life story\, contained in Amazing Women: 4 German Girls\, 25\,000+ of Miles\, 18 Months 0 Money\, is worthy of becoming a movie. This was true before she even turned thirty. As an adventurous girl in her twenties\, she and two girlfriends from Germany hitchhiked from Colorado to the Pacific coast of Mexico\, where the trio took a canoe into the ocean\, got lost\, and found themselves surrounded by sharks just as bad weather set in. Somehow\, they survived. The tide carried them to the shores of Peru\, where they spent time living with Indians in the Amazon and working for biologists researching the rainforests\, one of whom later became Carter’s husband. \nA Peruvian filmmaker did\, in fact\, turn the ordeal into a television movie\, but Carter professes not to know the title or release date. She has no time for such things—she’s too busy continuing to live a life most of us can only imagine. \nIt was her adventurous spirit that led Carter to set up her agency\, Envoyé Travel\, in 1971 in Lubbock\, Texas\, where her husband has established himself as an associate dean at Texas Tech University. Lest you think married life and operating a thirty-six-year-old business has tamed her\, Carter kayaks every morning\, and a few days after we spoke\, she was on her way to a polar bear expedition in Churchill\, Canada. \n“Whatever you do in life is a big commitment\, so it needs to be fun\,” says Carter\, who’s been to all seven continents. “I love this business. There is nothing more fun in life than talking about destinations.” \nAnd Carter has a lot of stories to tell—so much so that she landed the cover of Travel Agent in 1992 and in 1995 self-published a book\, Travel Like a Millionaire Without Being One\, which is being updated for a second printing. \nHer zest for life is infectious. She personally runs select small group trips\, leading people on a pilgrimage to Santiago\, Spain\, and taking others to the Arctic Circle to stay with Eskimos. Many of the local operators she uses have been discovered – and vetted – through her own travels. \n“Wherever I go\, I make friends\,” Carter says\, who also works with such suppliers as Abercrombie & Kent\, Butterfield & Robinson\, and Clipper Adventures. “I went to India\, and my goal was to experience yoga with the best teacher there. I checked the prices\, and it was $850 a night! I thought\, ‘I’m not going to spend that kind of money.'” \nShe left for India and\, on the way\, met a yoga teacher who invited her to dinner. “It turned out that the family is the number-one yoga family in India—even the Clintons have studied with them\,” Carter shares. “They live very\, very basic\, but the simplicity of their lifestyle.

SUMMARY:Alex George
DESCRIPTION:From the author of the “lyrical and compelling” (USA Today) novel A Good American comes Setting Free the Kites\, the powerful story of the unintended consequences that friendship\, hope\, and obsession impose on two families in crisis. \nHaverford\, Maine\, is a town that’s easily overlooked. So is Robert Carter\, an eighth-grader in 1976 who’s a ready target for the class bully. That is\, until the first day of school and a new kid appears: Nathan Tilly. Nathan is fearless\, impetuous\, and obsessed with kites and flying. As Robert and Nathan become friends\, they’re drawn into each other’s families\, where they witness unexpected tragedy and learn that all families can harbor secrets. When summer arrives\, both boys work at the local amusement park owned by Robert’s family\, and it’s there that Robert and Nathan begin to learn some harsh truths about family\, desire and revenge. Honest and heartfelt\, with echoes of novels by Wally Lamb and John Irving\, Setting Free the Kites is both a poignant coming-of-age story and a moving family drama that explores the terrible costs of misplaced hope. \nAlex George is an Englishman who lives\, works\, and writes in the middle of America. He studied law at Oxford University and worked for eight years as a corporate lawyer in London and Paris before moving to the United States. He lives in Missouri with his family.

SUMMARY:Deborah Crombie
DESCRIPTION:In Garden of Lamentations\, Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James are drawn into separate investigations that hold disturbing and deadly complications for their own lives in this powerful mystery in the bestselling series. \nOn a beautiful morning in mid-May\, the body of a young woman is found in one of Notting Hill’s private gardens. To passersby\, the pretty girl in the white dress looks as if she’s sleeping. But Reagan Keating has been murdered\, and the lead detective\, DI Kerry Boatman\, turns to Gemma James for help. She and Gemma worked together on a previous investigation\, and Gemma has a personal connection to the case: Reagan was the nanny of a child who attends the same dance studio as Toby\, Gemma and Kincaid’s son. \nGemma soon discovers that Reagan’s death is the second tragedy in this exclusive London park; a few months before\, a young boy died in a tragic accident. But when still another of the garden residents meets a violent end\, it becomes clear that there are more sinister forces at play. Boatman and Gemma must stop the killer before another innocent life is taken. \nWhile his wife is consumed with her new case\, Kincaid finds himself plagued by disturbing questions about several previous and seemingly unrelated cases involving members of the force. If his suspicions are correct and the crimes are linked\, are his family and friends in mortal danger as well? Kincaid’s hunch turns to certainty when a Metropolitan Police officer close to him is brutally attacked. There’s a traitor in the ranks\, and now Kincaid wonders if he can trust anyone. \nAs Gemma begins to see a solution to her case\, she realizes she holds a child’s fate in her hands. Can she do the right thing? And can Kincaid rely on his friends\, both inside and outside the Scotland Yard force\, to stand beside him as he faces the deadliest challenge of his career? \nDeborah Crombie’s fifth novel\, Dreaming of the Bones\, was a New York Times Notable Book in 1997\, was named by the Independent Mystery Booksellers as one of the 100 Best Crime Novels of the Century\, was an Edgar nominee for Best Novel\, and won the Macavity award for Best Novel. Subsequent novels have been published to critical acclaim and in a dozen languages.
