In this masterful and often surprising sequel to the acclaimed Duane's Depressed, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lonesome Dove has written a haunting, elegiac, and occasionally erotic novel about one of his most beloved characters. Back from a two-week trip to Egypt, Duane finds he cannot readjust to life in Thalia, the small, dusty West Texas hometown in which he has spent all of his life. In the short time he was away, it seems that everything has changed alarmingly. His office barely has a reason to exist now that his son Dickie is running the company from Wichita Falls, his lifelong friends seem to have suddenly grown old, his familiar hangout—once a good old-fashioned convenience store—has been transformed into an "Asian Wonder Deli," his daughters seem to have taken leave of their senses and moved on to new and strange lives, and his own health is at serious risk. It's as if Duane cannot find any solace or familiarity in Thalia and cannot even bring himself to revisit the house he shared for decades with his late wife, Karla, and their children and grandchildren. He spends his days aimlessly riding his bicycle (already a sign of serious eccentricity in West Texas) and living in his cabin outside town. The more he tries to get back to the rhythm of his old life, the more he realizes that he should have left Thalia long ago—indeed everybody he cared for seems to have moved on without him, to new lives or to death. The only consolation is meeting the young, attractive geologist, Annie Cameron, whom Dickie has hired to work out of the Thalia office. Annie is brazenly seductive, yet oddly cold, young enough to be Duane's daughter, or worse, and Duane hasn't a clue how to handle her. He's also in love with his psychiatrist, Honor Carmichael, who after years of rebuffing him, has decided to undertake what she feels is Duane's very necessary sex reeducation, opening him up to some major, life-changing surprises. When the Light Goes reminds everyone that where there's life, there is indeed hope. At once realistic and life-loving, often hilariously funny, and always moving, Larry McMurtry has written one of his finest and most compelling novels to date, doing for Duane what he did so triumphantly for Aurora in Terms of Endearment.

The final work from one of the most beloved voices in American education explores stories and lessons of transformative experiences in education For more than a generation, American education has been structured as though it was built of and for concepts, not people. This has transformed education into a vast assessment, scoring, and ranking enterprise; a sales platform for high-tech entrepreneurs; and a fiercely competitive arena of advantage and status that grinds the poor and propels the middle class into debt. In When the Light Goes On, educator Mike Rose features the stories of people of all ages and backgrounds to illuminate how education has added meaning to their lives. The inspiring stories include: A supermarket checker whose job wore away his soul takes a remedial math class that starts him on a path to architecture school A young man badly injured in a motorcycle accident finds both rehabilitation and a career in a welding program A transgender youth’s odyssey to self-definition extends though courses in social sciences and campus advocacy groups A Native American athlete finds graduate study as a way to use her celebrity to articulate the needs of her people When the Light Goes On helps us dig through the discord and fragmentation of school politics and policy to reclaim the mind and heart of education. Through various students’ stories and his own, Rose provides an urgent reminder of the core purpose of education: to learn about ourselves and the world around us, to spark new interests, and to experience with guidance both the fulfillment and the uncertainty of exploring our limits—all in the service of creating a meaningful life.

Darkness is always with us, just behind the brightness of day. It’s beyond the sun in the sky, beyond the overhead lights in our houses ... beyond the night-lights that keep darkness at bay when all the other lights go out. Does that scare you? Inspired by dreams, as well as the fear of darkness and the unknown, Where the Light Doesn't Go is a dark and whimsically unconventional book, with illustrations that show the dramatic contrast between the darkness and the light. This adventure captures that instinctive fear we all experience when the light goes out, and counsels us to find the strength and focus to overcome it, together.

When the Light Goes Out by Alma Lazar is a novel based on a true story which most of it takes place in San Diego, CA. Jorge Cantú spends his childhood suffering physical abuse from his mother whose goal in life was to make her four children pay an outrageous price for her previous mistakes. Jorge and his three brothers create an alliance not only to survive the brutal punishments and beatings of their mother but to find a way to even be content with their lives, as long as they can all remain together. As a teenager, he starts working at a catering company which opens up a new world of opportunities. He meets influential politicians and important business and show business people. He discovers a different world and takes advantage of it to continue advancing in different government jobs. As hard as he tries to make the best of his life, the unfaithful destiny that has chased him since his childhood occasionally forces him all the way to the bottom. Each time he must start all over again. In his late 30's in the city of Tijuana, he meets Alicia, a divorcee with two children. It is love at first sight for both of them and after several years of being together, they finally decide to unite their lives in matrimony. Jorge then, not only has a family that he adores but he also becomes a successful entrepreneur when he opens a skylight business which does great almost from the first week he opened. Life is good to him until the darkness of his destiny strikes once again. But this time he didn't see it coming and becomes deeply depressed. He even starts to develop suicidal thoughts, when the iron spirit that has kept him going since his childhood helps him reemerge stronger than ever to achieve what seems to be impossible. He realizes that there are no limitations when we firmly hold a goal in our mind. It is an inspirational book, as we learn that no barrier can keep us from achieving our goals. It is a touchy and motivational story based on true facts, loaded with human content. It portrays the gentleness and dignity of a human being. It is a perfect example of courage, love, strength, and forgiveness, but most of all, it teaches us that there is nothing in this world that can stop us from reaching our dreams.

Excerpt from Light Come, Light Go: The passion for speculation which, throughout all ages, has captivated the great bulk of humanity, would seem to be an innate characteristic of mankind. It assumes various forms and guises which often deceive those over whom it exercises its sway, and becomes in numberless cases a veritable obsession, causing its victims to devote the whole of their time, thoughts, and money—sometimes even their lives—to its service. Devotees of the simpler forms of gambling, such as are to be procured at the card-table and on the race-course, are often looked down upon by people who are themselves under the sway of other insidious, if more reputable, modes of tempting fortune. For all speculation, whether it be in pigs or wheat, stocks and shares, race-horses or cards, is in essence the same—its main feature being merely the desire to obtain “something for nothing,” or in other words to acquire wealth without work. Gambling, of no matter what kind, is thus a conscious and deliberate departure from the general aim of civilised society, which is to obtain proper value for its money. The gambler, on the other hand, receives either a great deal more than he gives or nothing at all.

Book 2 in the Dr. Abby Wilmore Series Where Light Comes and Goes brings back Dr. Abby Wilmore, the young family physician who was the protagonist of Miller’s first novel, The Color of Rock. Abby has accepted the directorship of a summer clinic in Yellowstone National Park where she hopes to expand her medical skills. She arrives to find herself working above the increasingly restless Yellowstone supervolcano, treating visitors, staff, and locals, all while evading the advances of a lecherous concession manager and maintaining a long-distance relationship with her partner who stays at the Grand Canyon Clinic. As tremors in the park escalate and the lakes seethe with bubbling gases, Abby learns that some-one is mysteriously killing the bison. What follows is an engrossing mystery unfolding in a spectacular setting with rich, quirky, and endearing characters and unexpected plot turns. While an overworked Abby makes new friends among her clinic staff and patients, tension builds as the volcano seems to be moving closer to a major eruption and the bison killings become more frequent. Soon, Abby finds herself in mortal danger as the story races to a thrilling and unexpected conclusion. Sandra Cavallo Miller demonstrated in The Color of Rock that she is a gifted storyteller. Where Light Comes and Goes deftly combines a gripping mystery set in the accurately depicted routine of a busy medical practice amid the wonders of Yellowstone’s magnificent scenery and wildlife. This is entertaining reading at its best.

For eight years, the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay on Cuba has been home to hundreds of men, all Muslim, all detained in the aftermath of the 9/11 and most guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through powerful imagery, Clark illustrates three experiences of the naval base, as a home to a US community, as a prison and as a memory to former detainees who, never having been charged, now have to rebuild their lives. This is an unsettling narrative evoking the disorientation central to Guantanamo incarceration and interrogation.
