Book Description
Gospel in an age devoid of miracles, King: A Mystery is set in the year of Obama’s first election, a year of catastrophic floods. Tom King, twin brother of religious leader Joshua King, tells the story of night watchman Arnie Mikesh’s investigation of the death and life of Joshua, whose car wreck he discovers on a country road. Joshua King, whose ministry is dedicated to the Spirit he addresses as “Mother,” provokes scorn and occasional violence from Christians, politicians, law enforcement, and powerful agricultural interests. Divisions among King’s followers about whether he is the reincarnation of the Messiah trouble his ministry. Mikesh’s investigation leads him from a labor organizer to cult members and a car body repairman, from rural Iowa where King has established his ministry to the state capital where King clashes with authorities. The unravelling and ultimate solution of the mystery of King’s death awakens Mikesh to a new sense of himself and brings him close to Mary Towers, the woman who haunted King’s life.

Meir Shalev, an emissary of the Haganah on a covert mission in Nazi Germany to rescue Jews from the closing jaws of the holocaust, is captured while attempting to save the children of two prominent families. He orchestrates a daring escape from captivity, but his troubles are far from over, and the echoes from the fog of war will reverberate far into the future. Years later, a young New York artist feels these echoes as she fights to save her marriage and hold her family together in the face of the revelation of long-buried secrets. From the smoldering ashes of Europe to the bloody battles of the Six-Day and Yom Kippur wars to the struggles of a fledging nation, Naomis Quest traces the stories of two women and a man as their lives unfold against the turbulent backdrop of the birth of the Israeli nation-state. An epic saga rooted in real historical events, Naomi's Quest weaves together a cast of unforgettable characters and culminates in a shocking, explosive finale.

Book Description
A deeply reported, revealing biography of tennis phenomenon and activist Naomi Osaka, telling the untold story behind her Grand Slam-winning career, her headline-making advocacy for racial justice and mental health, and the challenges of a life in the international spotlight. Naomi Osaka is everywhere, but how did she get there? Most tennis fans were introduced to Naomi Osaka as they watched her win the 2018 US Open final in an unforgettably controversial and dramatic victory over her idol, Serena Williams. Since then, Osaka has galvanized the tennis world--and gained attention across the culture--not only by winning three more Grand Slams, but by finding her voice. Her extraordinary talent and unique blend of power and vulnerability have propelled her to the top of her sport and onto the front page of newspapers and magazines worldwide. She became the highest-paid female athlete in history and one of the most discussed, at the cultural crossroads on myriad social issues. But until now, the story of the Haitian Japanese American Osaka family’s journey across the world to follow their tennis dreams—and how their youngest daughter found her power off the court—has remained little known. It is a story unlike any other, and Ben Rothenberg’s biography not only shows where Osaka came from but also where she's going as she returns to competitive tennis after a year on maternity leave. Through a riveting exploration of the ways Osaka has changed the game on and off the court, Rothenberg details the incredible impact Osaka has had in the arenas of sports, media, business, social justice, and mental health.
