Lily and the Octopus
Summary
Named to the American Library Association’s Reference & User Services (RUSA) Listen List! Combining the emotional depth of The Art of Racing in the Rain with the magical spirit of The Life of Pi, Lily and the Octopus is an epic adventure of the heart. When you listen to Lily and the Octopus, you will be taken on an unforgettable ride. The magic of this novel is in the listening, and we don't want to spoil it by giving away too many details. We can tell you that this is a story about that special someone: the one you trust, the one you can't live without. For Ted Flask, that someone special is his aging companion, Lily, who happens to be a dog. Lily and the Octopus reminds us how it feels to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go, and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. Remember the last book you told someone they had to listen to? Lily and the Octopus is the next one.

The Dogs of Venice
Summary
From the best-selling author of Lily and the Octopus, a heartwarming and bittersweet story about finding love and courage in one of the most romantic cities on Earth. New Yorkers Paul and Darren have planned a winter holiday in Venice. But when their five-year marriage suddenly unravels, Paul endeavors to make the trip alone, despite his heartbreak and anxiety. Far outside his comfort zone, Paul has a mission: to see if he can be adventurous, fearless, free. In short, to become someone new. Soon after arriving in Italy, he notices a small, scruffy, self-assured dog trotting alongside a canal with the confidence he so desperately wants for himself. This street dog and his instincts for survival lend Paul’s trip a singular purpose - to determine how his new four-legged friend thrives on his own. A string of additional sightings culminate in a seemingly magical encounter that leads Paul to feel real connection - to a dog, to a foreign city, and, most important, to himself.

The Editor
Summary
From the best-selling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a novel about a struggling writer who gets his big break, with a little help from the most famous woman in America. After years of trying to make it as a writer in 1990s New York City, James Smale finally sells his novel to an editor at a major publishing house: none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

But when the book's forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can't bring himself to finish the manuscript. Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother. Then a long-held family secret is revealed, and he realizes his editor may have had a larger plan that goes beyond the page.... From the best-selling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a funny, poignant, and highly original novel about an author whose relationship with his very famous book editor will change him forever - as both a writer and a son.

Woman on Fire (German edition)
Summary
Kaum eine Frau sieht den Wechseljahren gelassen entgegen. Hitzewallungen, Gewichtszunahme, Stimmungsschwankungen - das klingt wahrlich nicht verlockend. Doch muss das so sein? Sheila de Liz sagt: Nein. Unser Bild von der Perimenopause ist hoffnungslos veraltet. Viele Frauen leiden unnötig, und keine muss da heute mehr "durch". Denn sind die Beschwerden erst mal richtig identifiziert, kann jede Frau viel für ihr Wohlbefinden tun. Sheila de Liz beschäftigt sich als Ärztin seit langem intensiv mit dem Thema Wechseljahre und weiß auch aus eigener Erfahrung als Frau "im besten Alter" (ja!), was hilft und was nicht. Und dass es möglich ist, sich auch mit Ende vierzig stark und sexy zu fühlen.
