The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war. In its aftermath, millions are left homeless as famine and disease spread throughout the country. But from Chicago, a mysterious voice cries out ... To Leon Crane, a former NASA scientist now struggling to survive on the streets, the pleas he hears remind him of the wife he could not save - and offer him a chance at redemption. To Jacob Fire Cloud, a revered Lakota medicine man, the voice is a sign that the White Buffalo Woman has returned to unite all the races in peace and prosperity. And to little Amy Ladue, the cries are those of her mother, who disappeared during the devastating St. Louis earthquake - and who must still be alive. These three strangers will be drawn together to rescue someone they have never met, a woman who holds the key to a new future for humanity - one remarkably brimming with hope.</p><p><a href="https://csd.swanlibraries.net/GroupedWork/357bb7cc-1c79-bbd0-9258-4a870690885d-eng/Home?searchId=21310016&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex" target="_blank"><img src="https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/jacket.aspx?UserID=ebsco-test&Password=ebsco-test&Return=T&Type=M&Value=9780446519939" /></a></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><em>The World's Worst Assistant</em> by Sona Movsesian</strong></h2></h3><p><p>Part satire based on her and Conan O'Brien's beloved alter egos, part memoir that evidences their sincere mutual trust and respect built over 12 years, this hilarious how-to-guide shows readers how to get away with being a terrible, yet unfireable employee.</p><p><a href="https://csd.swanlibraries.net/GroupedWork/0f9900d1-27b4-65c9-906a-39dad210d6f4-eng/Home?searchId=21310122&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex" target="_blank"><img src="https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/jacket.aspx?UserID=ebsco-test&Password=ebsco-test&Return=T&Type=M&Value=9780593185513" /></a></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><em>The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream: The Hunt for a Victorian Era Serial Killer</em> by Dean Jobb</strong></h2></h3><p><p>Framed around one salacious trial in 1891 London, a fascinating and vividly told true-crime narrative about the hunt for one of the first known serial killers, whose poisoning spree in the US, Canada, and England coincided with the birth of forensic science as well as the public's growing appetite for crime fiction such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels.</p><p><a href="https://csd.swanlibraries.net/GroupedWork/921d0ab2-7aa0-6b74-e529-870bdb9df09c-eng/Home?searchId=21310196&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex" target="_blank"><img src="https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/jacket.aspx?UserID=ebsco-test&Password=ebsco-test&Return=T&Type=M&Value=9781616206895" /></a></p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong><em>We Should Hang Out Sometime</em> by Josh Sundquist</strong></h2></h3><p><p>The Paralympic ski racer, YouTube star, and motivational speaker documents his coming of age as an amputee cancer survivor and his efforts to investigate past dates gone wrong to discover why he was still single.</p><p><a href="https://csd.swanlibraries.net/GroupedWork/c90763b0-5f82-3ec6-d685-a1dd941e490a-eng/Home?searchId=21310289&recordIndex=1&page=1&searchSource=local&referred=resultIndex" target="_blank"><img src="https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/jacket.aspx?UserID=ebsco-test&Password=ebsco-test&Return=T&Type=M&Value=9780316251020" /></a></p></p></section><section><h2><h2><strong>Choose a genre that you enjoy.</strong></h2></h2></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Do any of these character descriptions appeal to you?</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Tell us where you'd like to go.</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Choose what best describes the pace or style you are looking for.</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>What kind of feel do you want the book to have?</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Again, what kind of feel do you want the book to have?<strong></strong></strong><strong></strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Choose a theme that sounds interesting.</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Choose another theme that sounds interesting.</strong></h2></h3></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Choose one more theme that sounds interesting.</strong></h2></h3></section>
