    Lily is haunted by memories—of who she was and of Snow Flower, the person long gone who shaped her destiny. Now, in nineteenth-century China, with bound feet and life in near seclusion, she recounts their story while begging the gods for forgiveness.

    In remote Hunan, women developed a secret code called nu shu—“women’s writing”—to share their hopes and dreams. Some were paired as laotongs, “old sames,” forging emotional bonds that lasted a lifetime. A silk fan bearing Snow Flower’s poem in nu shu seals her friendship with Lily at the tender age of seven.

    Through famine and rebellion, arranged marriages, and the sorrows and joys of motherhood, their bond endures—until a single misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.

    With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan offers a lyrical, profoundly moving exploration of one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.

  • Book of the Day: The Law of Innocence

    The Law of Innocence (Lincoln Lawyer)The Law of Innocence (Lincoln Lawyer) by Michael Connelly

    Over 48,800 5-Star Reviews!

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly comes a heart-stopping thriller featuring Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller, the inspiration for the hit Netflix series.

    On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t post the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.

    Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to mount his defense from his jail cell in downtown Los Angeles. All the while he needs to look over his shoulder—as an officer of the court he is an instant target, and he makes few friends when he reveals a corruption plot within the jail.

    But the bigger plot is the one against him. Haller knows he’s been framed, whether by a new enemy or an old one. As his trusted team, including his half-brother, Harry Bosch, investigates, Haller must use all his skills in the courtroom to counter the damning evidence against him.

    Even if he can obtain a not-guilty verdict, Mickey understands that it won’t be enough. To be truly exonerated, he must find out who really committed the murder and why. That is the law of innocence.

  • Book of the Day: The Medicine Woman of Galveston

    The Medicine Woman of GalvestonThe Medicine Woman of Galveston by Amanda Skenandore

    Over 7,100 5-Star Reviews!

    Once a trailblazing doctor, Tucia Hatherley is forced into a menacing swindler’s traveling medicine show to support her disabled son in this haunting story set against the devastating Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

    Tucia hasn’t touched a scalpel or stethoscope since she made a fatal mistake in the operating theater. Instead, she works in a corset factory, struggling to earn enough to support her son. When even that livelihood is threatened, she is left with one option—to join a wily, charismatic showman named Huey and lend her medical license to his traveling medicine show.

    The cures and tonics Tucia is forced to peddle are little more than purgatives and bathwater. Loathing the duplicity, even as she finds uneasy kinship with the other misfit performers, Tucia vows to leave as soon as her debts are paid and start a new life with her son—if Huey will ever let her go.

    When the show reaches Galveston, Texas, Tucia tries to break free from Huey, only to be pulled deeper into his schemes. But a far greater reckoning lies ahead as a September storm becomes a devastating hurricane that will decimate the Gulf Coast—and challenge Tucia to recover her belief in medicine, in the goodness of others, and in herself.
