Dana Lynne O'Malley grew up believing that her grandfather was a leprechaun. After all, that was the nickname her grandmother lovingly gave him. Curiously, even as Dana becomes an adult, her grandfather never dissuades her from the fantasy. When her grandfather dies, however, it quickly becomes clear that he is indeed more than just an ordinary mortal. He rises from the dead, clad in his burial kilt, confident that he's been sent back for a reason. Dana is struggling to move beyond the tragic death of her lesbian lover while at the same time dealing with the daunting prospect of running the Burlington Gazette , the family newspaper. She dreams of branching out and thriving as a photographer. Luckily, her grandfather's insurance policy is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and he's only too happy to allocate some of the money to help his granddaughter find her passions. Travel with Dana as she traverses the country, capturing the spirit of America using the lens of her camera, much like Norman Rockwell did with his paintbrush. It's a bittersweet journey on which she meets a beautiful Latina named Angelita Esperanza, and her life is forever changed.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
