    Set in 1968 in southern Virginia, a racially charged murder case pits two lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they fight for justice in this powerful courtroom drama from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.

    Jack Lee is a white lawyer from Freeman County, Virginia, who has never done anything to push back against racism—until he decides to represent Jerome Washington, a Black man charged with brutally killing an elderly, wealthy white couple. Doubting his decision, Lee fears his legal skills may not be enough to prevail in a case where the odds are already stacked against him and his client.

    Desiree DuBose is a Black lawyer from Chicago who has devoted her life to furthering justice and equality. She enters a fractious partnership with Lee in a legal battle against the best prosecutor in the Commonwealth. Yet DuBose knows that powerful outside forces are working to blunt the victories achieved by the Civil Rights era.

    Lee and DuBose could not be more dissimilar. On their own, neither can stop the prosecution’s deliberate march toward a guilty verdict and the electric chair. But together, they fight for what once seemed impossible: a chance for a fair trial and true justice.

    A Calamity of Souls brings a bygone era vividly to life in a gripping story of race, courage, and the cost of doing what is right.

    Step into the spellbinding world of The House Next Door, a Southern Gothic masterpiece blending suburban suspense, eerie hauntings, and the collision of Old and New South ideals, as a peaceful Atlanta neighborhood succumbs to the darkness of an unholy house.

    Thirtysomething Colquitt and Walter Kennedy live in a charming, peaceful suburb of bustling Atlanta, Georgia. Life is made up of enjoyable work, long, lazy weekends, and the company of good neighbors.

    Then, to their shock, construction starts on the vacant lot next door, a wooded hillside they’d believed would always remain undeveloped. Disappointed by their diminished privacy, Colquitt and Walter soon realize something more sinister is wrong with the house next door.

    Surely the house can’t be haunted, yet it seems to destroy the goodness of every person who comes to live in it, until the very heart of this friendly neighborhood threatens to be torn apart.

    The Girls We Sent AwayThe Girls We Sent Away by Meagan Church

    Over 1,000 5-Star Reviews!

    It’s the 1960s, and Lorraine Delford has it all—an upstanding family, a perfect boyfriend, and a white picket fence home in North Carolina. Yet every time she looks through her father’s telescope, she dreams of the stars. But when this darling girl-next-door gets pregnant, she’s forced to learn firsthand the realities that keep women grounded.

    To hide their daughter’s secret shame, the Delfords send Lorraine to a maternity home for wayward girls. But this is no safe haven—it’s a house with dark secrets and suffocating rules.

    As Lorraine begins to piece together a new vision for her life, she must decide if she can fight against the powers that aim to take her child or submit to the rules of a society she once admired.

    Powerful and affecting, The Girls We Sent Away explores autonomy, belonging, and a quest for agency when the illusions of life-as-you-know-it fall away.
