Finding Jackie

BY OLINE EATON

A brilliant biography of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, casting an era's biggest "star of life" in a new light for a new generation. In Finding Jackie, Oline Eaton resurrects the Jackie Kennedy Onassis who has been culturally erased, who we need now more than ever--not the First Lady who was a paragon of femininity, fashion, American wifeliness and motherhood, but rather the kaleidoscopic Jackie who emerged after the murder of her husband changed her world and ours. Here is the story of Jackie's reinvention into an adventurer, a wanderer, a woman, and an idea in whom many Americans and people around the globe have deeply, fiercely wanted to believe.

Novel will host an event for Memphis native Oline Eaton on Friday, March 3 at 6PM.

The final days of the American presence in Afghanistan bring Adam Hayes a summons he can't ignore in the latest electrifying thriller from the world of Robert Ludlum.

Adam Hayes has stepped away from the field for the last time. He's promised his wife that he won't put his life on the line any more, and there's nothing that will make him break a promise to his wife.

Well...almost nothing. With America withdrawing from Afghanistan and the Taliban closing in, Abdul Nassir reached out to his old friend. Ten years ago, he saved the American's life, and the time has come for repayment. The Afghan is desperate to flee his homeland. Like most of his countrymen, he is petrified by the Taliban takeover, but he also can't trust the Americans. He’s the only eyewitness to a massacre committed by a rogue team of CIA contractors. Not only can he identify the butcher who directed the bloodbath, he also has photographic proof. He’ll only be safe when those pictures are made public

Now, there’s just one man he can trust to get him to safety-Adam Hayes.

Novel will host an event for Memphis writer Joshua Hood on Tuesday, April 4 at 6PM.
