Don’t you just hate it when someone destroys all your carefully made plans? I mean, I had goals: college to graduate in one semester, a future I was working hard to reach, and an image of myself I wanted the world to see. My life was stacked into these precisely placed blocks. But then Colton Gamble came along and knocked them all askew. I hated how he messed everything up, how he could hog all my attention whenever he was around, how he made my pulse quicken—but only because he ticked me off...not because I was attracted to him. Oh! And I hated how he knew how attractive he was too, the shallow, full of himself, doesn’t take no for an answer, too flirty, too cocky, extremely irritating jerk. The boy had all the qualities that turned me off. Or so I thought. One night he wasn’t quite the brainless, overconfident jerk I assumed he always was. One night, he took care of me when I was at my lowest. He opened up to me and made me open up to him. Now I’m learning maybe he’s not what I first thought he was. And maybe I’M not what I first thought I was. Maybe it’s okay to rearrange a couple of my perfectly set blocks. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll stop worrying about what I’m afraid everyone else will think and finally reach for something I really want. It’s possible some of my plans need to be destroyed, and Colton Gamble is exactly the kind of mess I need in my life. What do you think? Should I give him a try? Desperately seeking your advice, Julianna Radcliffe

From the bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet comes a powerful novel, inspired by a true story, about a boy whose life is transformed at Seattle’s epic 1909 World’s Fair. “An evocative, heartfelt, beautifully crafted story that shines a light on a fascinating, tragic bit of forgotten history.”—Kristin Hannah, author of The Nightingale For twelve-year-old Ernest Young, a charity student at a boarding school, the chance to go to the World’s Fair feels like a gift. But only once he’s there, amid the exotic exhibits, fireworks, and Ferris wheels, does he discover that he is the one who is actually the prize. The half-Chinese orphan is astounded to learn he will be raffled off—a healthy boy “to a good home.” The winning ticket belongs to the flamboyant madam of a high-class brothel, famous for educating her girls. There, Ernest becomes the new houseboy and befriends Maisie, the madam’s precocious daughter, and a bold scullery maid named Fahn. Their friendship and affection form the first real family Ernest has ever known—and against all odds, this new sporting life gives him the sense of home he’s always desired. But as the grande dame succumbs to an occupational hazard and their world of finery begins to crumble, all three must grapple with hope, ambition, and first love. Fifty years later, in the shadow of Seattle’s second World’s Fair, Ernest struggles to help his ailing wife reconcile who she once was with who she wanted to be, while trying to keep family secrets hidden from their grown-up daughters. Against a rich backdrop of post-Victorian vice, suffrage, and celebration, Love and Other Consolations is an enchanting tale about innocence and devotion—in a world where everything, and everyone, is for sale. Praise for Love and Other Consolation Prizes “Exciting . . . [Jamie] Ford captures the thrill of first kisses and the shock of revealing long-hidden affairs.”—Kirkus Reviews “Strong . . . A laudable effort that shines light on little known histories.”—Library Journal “Poignant . . . Vibrantly rendered.”—Booklist “Combining rich narrative and literary qualities, the book achieves a multi-faceted emotional resonance. It is by turns heart-rending, tragic, disturbing, sanguine, warm, and life-affirming. Perceptive themes that run throughout culminate at the end. A true story from the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition inspired this very absorbing and moving novel. Highly recommended.”—Historical Novel Society (Editors’ choice) “Ford is a master at shining light into dark, forgotten corners of history and revealing the most unexpected and relatable human threads. . . . A beautiful and enthralling story of resilience and the many permutations of love.”—Jessica Shattuck, author of The Women in the Castle “All the charm and heartbreak of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet . . . Based on a true story, Love and Other Consolation Prizes will warm your soul.”—Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls

Poetry. CONSOLATION PRIZE, a poetry collection by Laurie MacDiarmid, is the inaugural offering of the Georgetown Review Press. The press is an offshoot of the Georgetown Review, a literary magazine that has been publishing since 1993. CONSOLATION PRIZE explores a father's early death from cancer, charting the ripples and amendments his absence creates in the web of connected lives he leaves behind, disturbances that echo into past and future. Long after the father's death, the poet dangles in this web, spinning a life for herself from the threads he's left behind, hoping to capture his presence and, at the same time, transcend his loss. "CONSOLATION PRIZE builds in momentum, each poem well plotted, emotionally adept, energetic, and full of music." Denise Duhamel "MacDiarmid gives us the clear, frank, emotional truths never sentimental, never hysterical. Like the best poets she knows when to hold back and when to let go." Jim Daniels "CONSOLATION PRIZE depicts with unflinching accuracy the ways in which life goes wrong when love is replaced by bad choice after bad choice.... Readers will want to kneel down in front of children everywhere and beg forgiveness for us all." Claudia Keelan "CONSOLATION PRIZE brings us to an understanding of family life through a young woman's growth of consciousness in poems that sear us with their tension. This is honest writing, honed and crafted, sharpened to make its many points through poetry's slant approach." Patricia Clark"

A freak collision damages the hull of the sloop Consolation Prize. In danger of sinking, Wilson and his sailing companion, Rebecca, race for the Caribbean island nation of Malenula where they beach successfully on a sandy spot. Loud angry voices nearby make Rebecca fearful of any involvement but too intrigued to heed her warning, Wilson sets off to investigate, witnessing a murder in the course of a drug transfer. When he reports what he has seen to the corrupted local police, he unleashes a flood of terror and pain from which it appears he and Rebecca may never escape. Protected only by the Coast Guard's knowing their location, the two must bear their ordeal in silence. Inevitably, Wilson is faced with a choice between imminent death or a last minute desperate attempt to turn the tables on his tormentors. His plan, counting on unlikely allies and a great deal of luck, will decide their fate.
