Single mom Diana Rosalen has caught his attention as she serves customers at Albero’s Restaurant where they both work. Despite her difficult past, she always has a smile on her face, and the way she takes care of her daughter, Camilla, makes Jorden want to keep them both. But is he capable of commitment? Jorden’s own parents weren’t the best examples, and the word family doesn’t conjure up good memories. Diana notices Jorden. Of course she does. Everyone notices Jorden.

Vermont has been kind to her and her brother, Jorden, when their family wasn’t. She’s carved out a comfortable existence for herself though her love life has been one big mistake after another. A no-dating rule may be Violet’s only hope of avoiding heartbreak. Again. Dawson Kinsford entertains music fans with his cello in the group Drei, a trio that has recently set the internet ablaze. He enjoys performing on stages across the country with his band mates, Juno and Gabi, but maybe it’s time to find a place to call home.

When a near-death experience almost silences Dawson’s cello forever, Violet becomes more than an adoring Drei fan. Maybe she needs to make an exception to her no-dating rule. Perhaps Dawson has found someone who finally sees the real him. Is one kind note enough to make a love song that will last a lifetime?

What would someone accustomed to the glamour of Hollywood and the bustle of New York think about tiny, simple Maplehaven? Charlene Moyen isn’t looking for a nice guy. With her teasing barbs and badass chopper pilot skills, she needs someone who won’t flinch every time she unleashes her quick wit and daredevil instincts. Unfortunately, Charlie’s small hometown doesn’t have any guys like that. It’s probably for the best. Her parents’ relationship hasn’t provided a rock-solid example of what love is. She wouldn’t even know how to be someone’s true other half. Charlie is an expert at maneuvering her helicopter though. When an opportunity to feature her chopper in a movie being shot locally arises, she enters her name. She never expects to be filming with her favorite action-adventure actor, Austin Rayhill. Austin is surprised as well. He thought having a female pilot in the movie would be a good marketing move, but Charlie proves to be so much more than that. She pulls him out of his Hollywood world and gives him the dose of reality he needs. After Charlie lends a hand to Austin during an accident on set, the off-screen chemistry between them soars. Until Charlie’s extreme flying pokes at the one thing Austin fears most. Is one kind hand enough to bridge two worlds? One Kind Hand is a meeting-your-movie-star-crush, small-town, contemporary romance that features a tomboy heroine and a famous, big-screen hero who have more in common than they realize.

Teaching fourth grade at Maplehaven Elementary School deep in the woods of Vermont is Leah Greenstead’s chance to hide and heal. It hurt too much to stay in New York City where every corner café, every friend, every sunrise reminded her of all she’d lost. Some people get to have everything they’ve ever wanted. Some don’t.

Maplehaven’s most beloved adventure guide isn’t easy to resist either. And he knows it. He uses his sense of humor, his charming family, and mathematical dirty talk to make it difficult for Leah to ignore him. Letting him in, however, is a big risk. If she dates him, she might like him.

One Kind of Everything elucidates the uses of autobiography and constructions of personhood in American poetry since World War II, with helpful reference to American literature in general since Emerson. Taking on one of the most crucial issues in American poetry of the last fifty years, celebrated poet Dan Chiasson explores what is lost or gained when real-life experiences are made part of the subject matter and source material for poetry. In five extended, scholarly essays—on Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Frank Bidart, Frank O’Hara, and Louise Glück—Chiasson looks specifically to bridge the chasm between formal and experimental poetry in the United States. Regardless of form, Chiasson argues that recent American poetry is most thoughtful when it engages most forcefully with autobiographical material, either in an effort to embrace it or denounce it.
