THE DEATH OF SANTINI: THE STORY OF A FATHER AND HIS SON By Pat Conroy
In this powerful and intimate memoir, the beloved bestselling author of The Prince of Tides and his father, the inspiration for The Great Santini, find some common ground at long last. A heart-wrenching account of personal and family struggle, and a poignant lesson in how ties of blood can both strangle and offer succor. It is an act of reckoning, an exorcism of demons, but one whose ultimate conclusion is that love can conquer even the meanest of men.

THE WOLVES OF MIDWINTER: THE WOLF GIFT CHRONICLES By Anne Rice

Now in her new novel, as lush and romantic in detail and atmosphere as it is sleek and steely in storytelling, she brings us once again to the rugged coastline of Northern California, to the grand mansion at Nideck Point—to further explore the unearthly education of her transformed Man Wolf.
