September 29, 2026

Min Jin Lee brings grand ambition, fierce heart, and the tenderest hope to a novel I didn't want to end. --Roxane Gay, bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger In schools and churches, hotel rooms and nail salons, law firms and fried-fish shops; in cramped, dingy apartments and luxury, gated communities, the men, women, and children in American Hagwon struggle to find satisfaction and meaning in a world that seems to grow less forgiving with each passing year. Once comfortably middle class in Korea, John and Helen Koh and their three children--Bo, DH, and Mido--find their lives upended, first by a shocking betrayal by John's oldest friend, then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Desperately striving to regain their footing, they leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in Southern California--where new vistas of opportunity open up for the children as their parents, strangers in a strange land, must adjust to a new life in which their experience and education mean little, and they set their sights on whatever it takes to provide for their children's futures. The Kohs, their friends, relatives, and even their foes move in and out of each other's lives as they navigate new courses across the years, always nursing the almost all-consuming faith that education will lead the next generation to success and security.

April 28, 2026

Legendary bounty hunter Luke Jensen enlists the help of chuckwagon cook Dewey Mac McKenzie in a deadly manhunt-but ends up neck-deep in an even deadlier range war. . . . JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. JUSTICE WITH A SIDE OF GUNFIRE. Dewey Mac McKenzie doesn't have much of an appetite for bounty hunting. Before he was a cook, Mac had a price on his head-and bounty hunters on his tail. Nowadays, he'd much rather be stewing beef over an open fire than opening fire on another man. Then he met Luke Jensen, bounty hunter extraordinaire. As a favor to his new friend, Mac agrees to join Luke on the trail of a wanted fugitive. A trail that leads them deep into Oregon timber country-and smack dab in the middle of a brewing war . . . The trouble starts in a saloon, a knuckle-busting brawl between the loggers from Pine Knob and some cowboys from a nearby ranch. When the ruckus turns bloody, Luke and Mac join the fray. Funny thing is, Luke takes the side of the ranchers while Mac teams up with the loggers. Which works out in their favor. By splitting up, they can now search for the fugitive in both groups at the same time. Mac steps in as the loggers' new cook, while Luke joins the cowboys at the Triangle 7 Ranch, where this feud first ignited-and is getting hotter by the day. For Luke and Mac, that means stepping out of the frying pan-and into the gunfire.

But tonight, his past will return with a vengeance . . . When nature unleashes its fury.

Whatever it took, he was up for the task.

The small but lively town of Glen Rose, Texas, is famous for its home-brewed whiskey-thanks to the Stark family's secret recipe. Over the years, Civil War veteran Jed Stark and his tough-as-nails mom Minnie have managed to turn their small family distillery into a highly successful business. But whiskey's not the only thing that's brewing in Glen Rose. There's plenty of trouble, too-namely Merlin Sheldrake, a rival distiller who's got the money, power, and connections to swallow the Starks' operation in a single gulp. Sure, his rancid brand of rotgut whiskey is no match for their smooth Texas blend. But this is more than friendly competition. This is nasty, all-out war. . . . First, Sheldrake sends a couple of goons to the Stark ranch to steal their family recipe-but they get a faceful of buckshot from Minnie instead.

But then the whiskey wars take an even darker turn-when Minnie is kidnapped by Sheldrake's hired guns. Now Jed has no choice but to fight this fight to the bitter end. Even if the blood flows faster than whiskey, Jed is prepared to teach these lowlifes a lesson: Don't mess with Texas. Especially when there's family, honor, and whiskey involved. . . .
