The actor, haunted by demons, running from his past. The town, unaware. Until the two collide. Hudson, Willow, and Mason are high school seniors, on the verge of adulthood. As the sun sets on their final summer, questions assault them. To stay or to leave. To resist the pull of Little Rush or create a life here. The struggle of mental illness. As he drifts away from his friends and sinks deeper into depression, Hudson forms an unlikely friendship with the actor, Bruce Michaels. But the old man is a ticking time bomb, a crumbling foundation that Hudson builds on. When dark secrets are revealed, Hudson must confront the truth about his idol and himself. Bruce Michaels isn't who he seems. Hudson is nearly gone. And in the end, they may be more similar than different. The search for meaning. Jed Cooper is the top of the Little Rush food chain. A successful businessman, wealthy entrepreneur. But his family grows distant with each passing day. The town around him swells and groans, a community blurred with memory and regret.

Different paths, converging in a web of alcohol, fighting, and romance. Worlds collide one summer in Anywhere, USA. The question is who will see the end.

From a New York Times-bestselling historian comes the story of how the alphabet ordered our world. A Place for Everything is the first-ever history of alphabetization, from the Library of Alexandria to Wikipedia. The story of alphabetical order has been shaped by some of history's most compelling characters, such as industrious and enthusiastic early adopter Samuel Pepys and dedicated alphabet champion Denis Diderot. But though even George Washington was a proponent, many others stuck to older forms of classification -- Yale listed its students by their family's social status until 1886. And yet, while the order of the alphabet now rules -- libraries, phone books, reference books, even the order of entry for the teams at the Olympic Games -- it has remained curiously invisible. With abundant inquisitiveness and wry humor, historian Judith Flanders traces the triumph of alphabetical order and offers a compendium of Western knowledge, from A to Z.

A robust and timely investigation into the political and moral fault-lines that divide Brexit Britain and Trump's America -- and how a new settlement may be achieved. Several decades of greater economic and cultural openness in the West have not benefited all our citizens. Among those who have been left behind, a populist politics of culture and identity has successfully challenged the traditional politics of Left and Right, creating a new division: between the mobile "achieved" identity of the people from Anywhere, and the marginalized, roots-based identity of the people from Somewhere. This schism accounts for the Brexit vote, the election of Donald Trump, the decline of the center-left, and the rise of populism across Europe. David Goodhart's compelling investigation of the new global politics reveals how the Somewhere backlash is a democratic response to the dominance of Anywhere interests, in everything from mass higher education to mass immigration.
