From acclaimed author David Corbett, a stunning and suspenseful novel of a life without loyalties and the borders inside ourselves. Roque Montalvo is wise beyond his eighteen years. Orphaned at birth, a gifted musician, he’s stuck in a California backwater, helping his Salvadoran aunt care for his damaged brother, an ex-marine badly wounded in Iraq. When immigration agents arrest his uncle, the family has nowhere else to turn. Roque, badgered by his street-hardened cousin, agrees to bring the old man back, relying on the criminal gangs that control the dangerous smuggling routes from El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, to the U.S. border. | ||

His latest book, Santa Fe Tales and More (Clearlight, $16.95), collects true stories of Old Santa Fe that Bryan uncovered both researching 19th century newspaper archives and personal interviews. Their recollections provide a vivid recreation of both everyday life on the frontier and extraordinary events and developments that shaped the history of the Southwest.

Poet & UNM faculty V.B. Price and architectural photographer Robert Reck have created the photographic portrait The University of New Mexico (UNM Press $34.95). This book explores the lure and magic of the university, which has become more than just an alma mater to its graduates. Price writes, "It has querencia, a place in our hearts, like a homeland... [T]he main campus is an oasis of cultured civility, at once brimming with the youthful vigor of its student body and rooted in the American West's most venerable social and aesthetic traditions. It's what makes UNM an academic symbol of the mind-opening sense of enchantment that New Mexico is known for around the world." The authors will discuss and sign the book, as well as present a slideshow of Reck's photography, highlighting the campus's unique architecture.. | ||

Best-selling author and noted teacher and speaker, Yehuda Berg, issues a thought-provoking call to action on our current global crisis in his new book The Power to Change Everything (Kabbalah Publishing, $14.95). Positing that our collective abdication of responsibility - in every facet of our lives - has contributed to the problems and challenges we face, Berg asserts that taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences is the key to achieving change for the better. Berg urges readers to access the power within each of us, using the principles of Kabbalah, in order to create the consciousness shift required for lasting positive change. "You and I are standing at a crossroads. We have two choices: either to accept that our world is at the beginning of the end, or to step up to create a better world for the future-for ourselves, for our children, for all mankind." -Yehuda Berg | ||

Stephen Fried presents a slideswow and discusses his new book Appetite for America (Random House, $27.00), the incredible real-life story of Fred Harvey-told in depth for the first time ever-as well as the story of this country's expansion into the Wild West. As a young immigrant, Fred Harvey worked his way up from dishwasher to household name. His eating houses and hotels along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad were patronized by princes, presidents, and countless ordinary travelers looking for the best cup of coffee in the country. Harvey's staff of carefully screened single young women-the celebrated Harvey Girls-were the country's first female workforce and became genuine Americana, even inspiring an MGM musical starring Judy Garland. Inspiring, instructive, and hugely entertaining, Appetite for America is historical biography that is as richly rewarding as a slice of fresh apple pie-and every bit as satisfying. | ||

Do we own our possessions, or do they own us? That's one of the questions pondered in Tracy's memoir Objects of Our Affection (Bantam, $25.00) Following their mother's death, Tracy and her sister were faced with the daunting task of sifting through her belongings - acres of heirlooms, from an elegant, satin-bottomed chair that might have once been occupied by George Washington to a pair of dueling pistols purportedly owned by Aaron Burr. But were these worth anything more than the stories they contained? When the sisters decide to put selected pieces up for auction, they are both sobered-and occasionally surprised-by the prices they fetch and the remorse they feel when the deals are done. Have they sold their family's soul? | ||
