The astonishing new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult about a family torn apart by an accusation of murder. Jacob is a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject -- in his case, forensic analysis. He's always showing up at crime scenes, and telling the cops what they need to do...and he's usually right. But then his town is rocked by a terrible murder and, for a change, the police come to Jacob with questions. All of the hallmark behaviors of Asperger's can look a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel... House Rules looks at what it means to be different in our society, how Asperger affects a family, and how our legal system works well for people who communicate a certain way -- and fails those who don't.

While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years. Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.

Kelly Corrigan's eagerly anticipated second book, written as a letter from Corrigan to her young daughters. Intimate and reflective, she conjures up the moments she will never forget, but that her girls may well fail to remember as adults: teaching her daughter how to spell her own last name, long games of “I Spy,” watching the Jackson 5 on YouTube. Corrigan wants them to understand that “Mothering you is the first thing of consequence that I have ever done.” She confesses her bouts of impatience, her failures to provide (square meals, campouts, answers about God), her moments of anxiety that make her wonder if she is the wrong person to be raising them. These are the everyday family stories—the ones no one captures on film but in truth are what constitute the better part of the life families build.
