This is the story of a marriage, of a father and his son, and of how a man’s childhood shapes his life.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteMiss Emily: A Novel, by Nuala O’Connor (Penguin Books, $16) “Conjure an image of Emily Dickinson: brilliant, but dour and odd? No! In O’Connor’s gem of a novel, Miss Emily is spirited and witty, even brave. Emily befriends Ada Concannon, who was hired as the Dickinsons’ kitchen girl almost immediately after she arrived from Ireland. Their unlikely friendship quickly provides each with solace and strength in a world where women are often marginalized. Later, an act of raw violence will ripple outward, resulting in consequences that neither Ada nor Emily could ever have imagined. O’Connor has written a small, hope-filled masterpiece!” —Christopher Rose, Andover Books, Andover, MA

Period details from 1920s Seattle form a rich backdrop for a timeless story of illicit love between a white boy and an African- American girl. Adults and teens alike will enjoy this historical novel with magical elements. The characters of Love and Death add the perfect touch of magic and mystery, reminiscent of The Night Circus.” —Emily Adams, Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park, WA

Another Illustrated Indie Favorite Ballet Cat: The Totally Secret Secret, by Bob Shea (Disney-Hyperion, $9.99) “Shea is back with his own brand of madcap humor in this new series. Ballet Cat only wants to play ballet, all the time, every day. Her best friend, Sparkles, wants to do something different, but Ballet Cat refuses. Then she realizes that Sparkles isn’t having fun. What should she do? The pictures are sparse and the colors bright with plenty of pink to go around. This book is a great start to a series that promises to be as much fun as the Dinosaur vs. titles.” —Janice Hunsche, Kaleidosaurus Books, Metamora, IN
