    Ask Him WhyAsk Him Why by Catherine Ryan Hyde

    Over 600 5-Star Reviews!

    From the bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes the stunning and emotional story of a young soldier’s unthinkable act… and the bonds of a sister and brother’s love.

    Ruth and her little brother, Aubrey, are just teenagers when their older brother ships off to Iraq. When Joseph returns, uninjured, only three and a half months later, Ruth is happy he is safe but also deeply worried. How can it be that her courageous big brother has been dishonorably discharged for refusing to go out on duty? Aubrey can’t believe that his hero doesn’t have very good reasons.

    Yet as the horrifying details of the incident emerge, Joseph disappears. In their attempts to find him, Ruth and Aubrey discover he has a past far darker than either of them could imagine. But even as they learn more about their brother, important questions remain unanswered – why did he betray his unit, his country, and now his family? Joseph’s refusal to speak ignites a fire in young Aubrey that results in a disastrous, and public, act of rebellion.

    The impact of Joseph’s fateful decision one night in Baghdad will echo for years to come, with his siblings caught between their love for him and the media’s engulfing frenzy of judgment. Will their family ever make their way back to each other and find a way to forgive?

  • AUDIBLE Deal of the Day 🎧 Dandelion Wine

    A new deal every day from Audible. Today’s deal ends 04/25/2017 @ 11:59PM PT.

    Dandelion WineDandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

    Over 350 5-Star Reviews!

    Ray Bradbury’s moving recollection of a vanished golden era is one of his most enchanting novels. Dandelion Wine stands out in the Bradbury literary canon as the author’s most deeply personal work, a semi-autobiographical story of a magical small-town summer in 1928.

    Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole wide world that lies beyond the city limits. It is a pair of brand-new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather’s renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley’s bell on a hazy afternoon. It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine that can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future.

    Come and savor Ray Bradbury’s priceless distillation of all that is eternal about boyhood and summer.
