Inspired by true events\, Torn by God\, is a riveting family drama that takes place in 1959 in a small Mormon town in Utah.
\;
It chronicles the devastation brought upon the Sterling family when the father has a vision that leads him to become involved with a local polygamist group run by a self-serving fundamentalist. The father comes to believe that the Mormon Church never should have rescinded polygamy. Even though the practice is now against the law and grounds for excommunication\, he feels it is something God demands of him. When her father gets more and more involved with the polygamist group\, twelve-year-old Beth watches helplessly as her mother sinks into depression and illness. When he leaves town to build a church for the polygamists\, the family is cast off by the Mormon community\, and it is up to Beth to take care of her sick mother and her little brother.

This event is free and open to the public.
That Old Cape Magic\, currently in its sixth week on The New York Times best seller list\, accompanies Jack Griffin\, a middle-aged professor in a humdrum marriage\, on a drive to Cape Cod for the wedding of his daughter's best friend. He's flooded with memories of his annual childhood vacations on the Cape with his parents--bickering\, intellectually snobbish academics who are dismissive of each other and the world at large. More than anything\, Jack doesn't want to be like them\, but with his father's ashes in the trunk (in nearly a year\, he hasn't been able to decide where to scatter them)\, and his demanding mother just a cell phone call away\, he's unable to escape their influence.
Calling Russo "\;A master of the comic quip and the ridiculous situation\,"\; the Washington Post said That Old Cape Magic is "\;a marvelous portrayal of the strands of affection and irritation that run through a family\, entangling in-laws and children's crushes and even old friends."\;
Russo's tragicomic take on life and careful eye for relationships are a trademark of much of his work\, which includes seven novels and several screenplays and teleplays. Much of his fiction\, like Empire Falls\, which won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for fiction\, chronicles small town America\, fictional down-on-their-luck towns of the industrial Northeast and the blue-collar workers trying to survive in them as they face money\, marriage\, class and other daunting issues.

Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old\,
with no memory of his past. For years\, he has lived with one of the
bankers\, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night\, when
he is fourteen\, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature\,
speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him.
Bran finds that he is at the center of a plot which started
years before he was even born\: the plot of a deadly curse his mother
created…and one that her former masters are hunting for him to
complete.
Haunted by the spirit of his mother’s master and living in a city
where magic is illegal\, Bran must undo the crimes of his
past...before it is too late.

We are celebrating the week with our Go\, Dog. Go! storytime on Saturday\, November 28th at 11 a.m. and a reading and slide show by Anne Palmer Peterson on Tuesday\, December 1st at 7 p.m.\, and\, of course\, with our Annual King's English Bookshop Holiday Party on Thursday\, December 3rd at 5\:30 p.m.
Get 10% off all regularly priced merchandise and an additional 10% off all regularly priced merchandise during our holiday party.
In this revealing talk about producing a book 40 years in the making\, come see how President A. Ray Olpin crafted a massive recruitment campaign that transformed the University of Utah from a provincial college to a first-rate national university.
If you’re a fan of the ’50s\, fond of the University of Utah\, or simply curious how this university came to play such a vital role in expanding Western minds\, you won’t want to miss this provocative telling of tales through photos depicting the mid-century optimism of the A. Ray Olpin era.
This dramatic narrative provides a candid and compelling account of Olpin’s tenure as president\, placing him as a central figure in American higher education and convincing us that his legacy belies mere attachment to one of the University’s best-known gathering places. A. Ray Olpin is more than a mere namesake of the University of Utah’s Student Union Building. He’ll mean much more than a Union to readers who have longed for this important chapter in the University of Utah’s history to be published at last.
Featuring a foreword by University of Utah president emeritus David P. Gardner\, and a collection of moving archival photos\, Years of Promise is a portrait of uncommon leadership and foresight\, a work of historical recovery that chronicles how these traits shaped an unlikely university into the internationally respected institution it is today.
Resolved\: I will begin 2010 with a visit to the King’s English New Year’s Day Sale to stock up on books.
25% off everything (except special orders)! Enjoy a bit of the bubbly\, too\, 10 a.m.– 5 p.m.
