Lou Ann Hunter's mother has always had a passionate nature, which explains why she's been married five times and spooned enough male patients to be ousted from three elderly care facilities. She also has Alzheimer's, which is why she wants to spend the rest of her life surrounded by childhood memories at Sutton Hall, her family's decrepit plantation home in Louisiana. Lou Ann, a.k.a. Lulu the Love Guru, has built an empire preaching sex, love, and relationship advice to the women of America--mostly by defying the example her mother has set for her. But with her mom suddenly in need of a fulltime caretaker, Lou Ann reluctantly agrees to step out of the spotlight and indulge her mother's wishes. Upon her arrival at Sutton Hall, Lou Ann discovers that very little functions as it should--least of all her mother's mind. And as she adjusts to this new and inevitably temporary dynamic with the help of a local handyman and a live-in nurse, she is forced to confront the reality that neither her nor her mother's future is going according to plan. Fans of Sophie Kinsella and Jane Graves will love Rachel Gibson's How Lulu Lost Her Mind, an endearing, funny, and heart-tugging story from the first page to the last (Karen Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author).…

A perilous, psychologically suspenseful military thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille--writing with his son, Alex DeMille--about two army officers on the hunt in Venezuela for an army deserter, whose current precarious circumstances might just overshadow his troubled past. When Captain Jason Carmody of the army's elite Delta Force seemingly deserted his post at a remote base in the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan three years ago, it made national headlines. The army launched intense around-the-clock searches for him, during which many American soldiers were killed by enemy forces. Six months later, a hostage video was released by the Taliban, demanding the army trade a high-ranking Taliban commander in exchange for Carmody. The US didn't comply and another two years passed without anyone hearing of Jason Carmody ever again. But when a former soldier spots Carmody on business overseas, the army calls in their best to investigate: warrant officers Scott Brodie, an intelligent renegade agent with little respect for authority, and Courtney Taylor, a detail-oriented stickler who is Brodie's foil in more ways than one. This unlikely duo is charged with tracking down Carmody and bringing him home from the last place he was seen alive--Caracas, Venezuela, the murder capital of the world.
