From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train comes a novel of love, risk, and self-discovery. Angela can feel the clock ticking. She is single in New York City, stuck in a job she doesn't want and a life that seems to have, somehow, just happened. She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it--these days, her oven holds only sweaters. Tacked to her office bulletin board is a photo from a magazine of a tidy cottage on the coast of Maine--a charming reminder of a life that could be hers, if she could only muster the courage to go after it. On a hope and a chance, Angela decides to pack it all up and move to Maine, finding the nudge she needs in the dating profile of a handsome sailor who loves dogs and Italian food. But her new home isn't quite matching up with the fantasy. Far from everything familiar, Angela begins to rebuild her life from the ground up. Working at a local coffeehouse, she begins to discover the pleasures and secrets of her new small-town community and, in the process, realizes there's really no such thing as the way life should be.

Just before dawn in Stone Harbor, Maine, two men meet in the bathhouse in a wooded park. "So what do you have in mind?" one asks. "A little surprise," the other answers before beating him to death with a steel flashlight. Newspaper editor John Quinn and his wife have returned to his hometown to raise their son, but real estate prices have soared and natives are being pushed out. Then a popular politician and family man is murdered at a well-known gay pickup spot. The victim was Quinn's childhood friend, Paul Stanwood. Quinn insists Paul was only investigating a police crackdown at the park. When the police chief and others seem to ignore and downplay obvious clues, Quinn takes matters into his own hands. Even though his wife's car is vandalized and a source is severely beaten after he speaks out on the hidden violence against gays, Quinn refuses to stop looking for answers. With so many people hiding secrets -- secrets some are willing to kill for -- Quinn has to find out the truth about his friend's murder before he, too, is permanently silenced.

A complete overview of the exact mechanisms whereby the internationalist lobby is controlling, directing, and actively organizing mass Third World immigration with the explicitly-stated aim of destroying America--viewed with special emphasis through events in the state of Maine. Analyzing all aspects of society--the media, economics, environment and social and political structures--this work shows in painstakingly-documented and fully-referenced detail exactly who is directing America's current political process and decline. It shows that neo-liberal capitalists and crazed ideologues are facilitating mass migration into America, and actively seeking to transform the country as we know it in their image, in the process destroying the American nation. This cosmopolitan cabal uses their wealth and influence to see the realization of their agenda on every front, to advance their own interests and continue to enrich themselves regardless of the cost to any other group; this globalist "elite" through stealth and deception is responsible for the wide-spread push of the deeply harmful ideologies and policies we find ourselves facing today. At the same time, its lobby engages in blatant double standards and suppresses any criticism of this "hypocrisy of the highest order" through a barrage of "hate crimes" and "hate speech" legislation, and "tolerance" factories which seek to outlaw any discussion or mention of their power and influence. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand exactly what is happening in America--and indeed the entire Western world.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Mike is as clever, astute, and perceptive as he is brilliant. He has beautifully pulled off the three female voices in this novel...with tremendous wisdom and insight.” — Jane Green, New York Times-bestselling author A tender and insightful story of friendship and love, heartbreak and renewal, played out in the lives of three unforgettable women, from the cohost of ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning. Brooke has been happily married to her college sweetheart for fifteen years. Even after the C-section, the dog poop, the stomach viruses and the coffee breath, Scott always winks at her in just the right moments. That is why, for her beloved, romantic, successful husband’s fortieth birthday, she is giving him pictures. Of herself. Naked. Newlywed Samantha learns of her husband’s cheating heart when she finds the goods on his computer. High-powered career woman Katherine works with heartbreaker Phillip, the man who hurt her early on in her career. Brooke, Samantha, and Katherine don’t know each other, but their stories are about to intertwine in ways no one could have imagined. And all three are about to discover the power of friendship to conquer adversity, the satisfaction of unexpected delights, the incredible difference one human being can have on other lives—and that they have all they could ask for, as long as they have each other.
