After her four kids were nearly grown and she was about to turn 50, Phoebe Snetsinger was told she had less than a year to live. Snetsinger, a St. Louis housewife and avid backyard birder, decided to spend that year traveling the world in search of birds. As it turned out, her doctors were wrong, but Phoebe's passion had been ignited and she spent the next eighteen years crisscrossing the globe recklessly staking out her quarry. En route she contracted malaria in Zambia, nearly fell to her death in Zaire, and was kidnapped and gang raped on the outskirts of Port Moresby. Yet none of this curbed her enthusiasm. By the time she died in a bus accident while birding in Madagascar in 1999, Phoebe was world renowned and had seen more species-8,500 of the roughly 10,000-than anyone in history. A fascinating portrait of a hobbiest whose obsession contributed to both her success and her demise, Life List brings Phoebe Snetsinger and the wild world of amatuer ornithology to vivid life.

Olivia thinks she was ready for a relationship. Little does she know the progression of time for the dating scene is not at all like it was fifteen years ago when she met her only true love, Isaiah. There is not a day that goes by that Olivia does not think of him. It was the simple things that he would do. Seldom did he need to tell her that he loved her, because his actions would speak loud and clear for themselves. Never had she even considered life without her husband, her best friend, and the father of their children, Isaiah II and Isabella. Now she is faced to journey the rest of her life without him. During the first couple of years, it took all her strength to maintain her daily routine. Her children, family, career, and friends were her distractions. However, now that her children are older and her businesses are well established, Olivia faces her true feelings on love and relationship. Each of her three chosen relationships presented its own challenges, and at the end of each relationship, Olivia would always question God: why on earth would he take her Isaiah and leave them walking the earth? Olivia knew that if she wanted a reputable relationship, it was imperative she learn how to trust. Could she believe true love would find her again? Would she continuously allow deversions to distract her journey? Or would she finally realize that everything she needed was already inside of her?

From award-winning author Kelly Loy Gilbert comes a powerful, achingly romantic drama about the secrets we keep, from each other and from ourselves, perfect for fans of Permanent Record and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter. All Beth wants is for her tight-knit circle of friends—Grace Nakamura, Brandon Lin, Sunny Chen, and Jason Tsou—to stay together. With her family splintered and her future a question mark, these friends are all she has—even if she sometimes wonders if she truly fits in with them. Besides, she’s certain she’ll never be able to tell Jason how she really feels about him, so friendship will have to be enough. Then Beth witnesses a private act of violence in Jason’s home, and the whole group is shaken. Beth and her friends make a pact to do whatever it takes to protect Jason, no matter the sacrifice. But when even their fierce loyalty isn’t enough to stop Jason from making a life-altering choice, Beth must decide how far she’s willing to go for him—and how much of herself she’s willing to give up.
