WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU
RINGWALD, MOLLY
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Molly Ringwald mines the complexities of modern relationships in this gripping and nuanced collection of
interlinked stories. Writing with a deep compassion for human imperfection, Ringwald follows a Los Angeles
family and their friends and neighbors while they negotiate the hazardous terrain of everyday life—revealing the
deceptions, heartbreak, and vulnerability familiar to us all. In “The Harvest Moon,” a stay-at-home mom grapples
with age, infertility and an increasingly distant husband. In “Ursa Minor,” a former children's television star tries to
rebuild his life after being hospitalized for "exhaustion." An elderly woman mourns the loss of her husband and
her estranged relationship with her daughter in “The Little One.” In “My Olivia,” a single mother finds untapped
reserves of strength to protect her flamboyant six-year-old son who wishes only to wear dresses and be
addressed as "Olivia." And in the devastating title story, a betrayed wife chronicles her pain and alienation,
leading to an eviscerating denouement.

WHISPERING DEATH
DISHER, GARRY
Hal Challis is in trouble at home and abroad: dressed down by the boss for speaking out about police budget
cuts; missing his lover, Ellen Destry, who is overseas on a study tour. But there's plenty to keep his mind off his
problems. A rapist in a police uniform stalks Challis's Peninsula beat, there is a serial armed robber headed in
his direction and a home invasion that's a little too close to home. Not to mention a very clever, very mysterious
female cat burglar who may or may not be planning something on Challis's patch. Meanwhile, at the Waterloo
Police Station, Challis finds his officers have their own issues. Scobie Sutton, still struggling with his wife's
depression, seems to be headed for a career crisis; and something very interesting is going on between
Constable Pam Murphy and Jeanne Schiff, the feisty young sergeant on assignment from the Sex Crimes Unit.
