When his mother abandons him without warning, he thinks he will be able to make a life with his mother s friend and her son. But when that friend gives him up to foster care and he is shipped off to live with white university professors in upstate New York, his life is turned on end once again. This is a beautifully written, searing exploration of identity and dislocation. It is a profoundly American story and a compulsively fascinating read. I loved it! Kris Kleindienst, Left Bank Books, St. Louis, MO The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America s Shining Women, by Kate Moore (Sourcebooks, $26.99) The harrowing true story of The Radium Girls is a compelling and forthright portrayal of a dark, insidious mystery and the shining girls who revealed it. Author Kate Moore takes the reader from Orange, New Jersey, to Ottawa, Illinois, following several women who work at factories that specialize in painting watch faces and instrument dials with the glow-in-the-dark wonder element radium. As these women fall ill in various and dire ways, they seek answers and relief from the very companies that would deny them. Moore, like the shining girls before her, casts a bright light on these lives lost too young. Heather Herbaugh, Mitzi s Books, Rapid City, SD

Father s Day is Van Booy at his most poignant, showing how redemption can arise from heartbreaking circumstances. Don Luckham, The Toadstool Bookshop, Keene, NH
