A successful quilter worries about a new rival—and a newly independent son—in a novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of Between Heaven and Texas. Mary Dell Templeton prefers the quiet, quirky charms of Too Much, Texas to the bright lights of Dallas any day. She's relieved to be moving back to her hometown--and bringing her cable TV show, Quintessential Quilting, with her. There are just a couple of wrinkles in her plan. Her son, Howard, who is her talented co-host and color consultant, and happens to have Down syndrome, wants to stay in Dallas and become more independent. Meanwhile, Mary Dell's new boss hopes to attract a different demographic--by bringing in a younger co-host. What Holly Silva knows about quilting wouldn't fill a thimble, but she's smart and ambitious. Her career hinges on outshining the formidable Mary Dell in order to earn her own show. Yet as Holly adapts to small-town living and begins a new romance, and Mary Dell considers rekindling an old one, the two find unlikely kinship. For as Mary Dell knows, the women of Too Much have a knack for untangling the knottiest problems when they work together. And sometimes the pattern for happiness is as simple and surprising as it is beautiful… "Marie Bostwick is my go-to author…always powerful, inspiring, and uplifting." –Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A brilliant storyteller." --Las Vegas Review-Journal

Wang Gungwu is one of Asia’s most important public intellectuals. He is best-known for his explorations of Chinese history in the long view, and for his writings on the Chinese diaspora. With Home is Not Here, the historian of grand themes turns to a single life history: his own. In this volume, Wang talks about his multicultural upbringing and life under British rule. He was born in Surabaya, Java, but his parents’ orientation was always to China. Wang grew up in the plural, multi-ethnic town of Ipoh, Malaya (now Malaysia). He learned English in colonial schools and was taught the Confucian classics at home. After the end of WWII and Japanese occupation, he left for the National Central University in Nanjing to study alongside some of the finest of his generation of Chinese undergraduates. The victory of Mao Zedong’s Communist Party interrupted his education, and he ends this volume with his return to Malaya. Wise and moving, this is a fascinating reflection on family, identity, and belonging, and on the ability of the individual to find a place amid the historical currents that have shaped Asia and the world.

An NPR Best Book of the Year: “With humor and insight, [the author] writes of relocating his family from Washington, DC, to rural Minnesota.” —Publishers Weekly This is the hilarious, charming, and candid story of writer Christopher Ingraham’s decision to uproot his life and move his family to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, population 1,400—the community he made famous as “the worst place to live in America.” Like many young couples, Chris and his wife, Briana, were having a hard time making ends meet as they raised their twin boys in the East Coast suburbs. One day, Chris—in his role as a “data guy” reporter at the Washington Post—stumbled on a study that would change his life. It was a ranking of America’s 3,000+ counties from ugliest to most scenic. He quickly scrolled to the bottom of the list and gleefully wrote the words “The absolute worst place to live in America is (drumroll please) . . . Red Lake County, Minn.” The story went viral, to put it mildly. Among the reactions were many from residents of Red Lake County. While they were unflappably polite—it’s not called “Minnesota Nice” for nothing—they challenged him to look beyond the spreadsheet and actually visit their community. Ingraham, with slight trepidation, accepted. Impressed by the locals’ warmth, humor, and hospitality (and ever more aware of their financial situation and his torturous commute), Chris and Briana eventually decided to relocate to the town he’d just dragged through the dirt on the Internet. If You Lived Here You’d Be Home by Now is the story of making a decision that turns all your preconceptions—good and bad—on their heads. In Red Lake County, Ingraham experiences the power of small-town gossip, struggles to find a decent cup of coffee, suffers through winters with temperatures dropping to forty below, and unearths some truths about rural life that the coastal media usually miss. It’s a wry and charming tale—with data!—of what happened to one family brave enough to move waaaay beyond its comfort zone. “Ingraham deals with a number of fundamental issues: health care, schools, social life, and, of course, the extreme cold of northern Minnesota . . . Throughout, Ingraham writes with the conviction of one who has found—as least for him—tranquility and truth.” —Kirkus Reviews

Bronwyn and Paul are a couple stranded at a "temporary" stop on their inevitable way to Hollywood glamour--in a house that is so ugly, so frayed, so...brown that it's almost cool. But just as the Bohemian life is wearing painfully thin, their fortunes change, catapulting them out of the world of practical problems and into the world of ethical ones.

Context is profoundly significant for shaping our understanding of God and what it means to be human. In this volume three scholars from South Australia explore the gifts of and challenges to theologies shaped by their locations. In 'Reimagining God and the Church in Australia through an Adnyamathanha Lens', Rev Dr Aunty Denise Champion from the Flinders Ranges argues for attending to ancient wisdom gifted by ancestors in Country as our primary resource for understanding the 'new thing' that is Christ. She explores some of her peoples' experiences of, and the ongoing implications therefore for, church and Christology in this place. 'Jesus Walking on Aboriginal Countries,' by Dr Labhaoise Upton, a Catholic woman, charts the surprising wisdom she encountered listening to Elders along the Dingo Songline as she took up Pope John Paul II's 1986 charge to joyfully receive the contribution to the Church of Aboriginal peoples. And in 'Locational Challenges for Second Generation Asian Australian Theology', Rev Cyrus Kung, a second- generation Hong Kong Chinese Australian, presses by way of autobiographical theology into the locational challenges he perceives exist for him and others like him to theologise in Australia.

No Home for You Here is a memoir of a life lived in the shadow of Ronald Reagan. Raised in rural Ohio, Adam Theron-Lee Rensch tells the story of a millennial trying—and failing—to leave behind the shame of growing up poor in the middle of nowhere. Interweaving personal narrative and political criticism with recent social and political history, No Home for You Here shows how the interrelationship of class, culture, and identity stifles working-class solidarity by constructing an imagined cultural divide that those in power use to maintain the status quo. With one foot on each side of this division, Rensch moves between the flat horizon of the Midwest and the densely populated streets of the city, bearing witness to the tragic effects of a precarious free-market economy on family and friends. Rather than wallowing in despair, however, No Home for You Here is a timely, passionate call for class consciousness in an era of economic crisis and staggering inequality.
