About Penitence:

When a shocking M**der occurs in the home of Angie and David Sheehan, their lives are shattered. Desperate to defend their family, they turn to small-town lawyer Martine Dumont for help, but Martine isn’t just legal counsel—she’s also the mother of Angie’s first love, Julian, a now-successful New York City criminal defense attorney. As Julian and Angie confront their shared past and long-buried guilt from a tragic accident years ago, they must navigate their own culpability and the unresolved feelings between them.Spanning decades, from the ski slopes of rural Colorado to the streets of post-9/11 New York City and back again, Kristin Koval’s debut novel Penitence is an examination of the complexities of familial loyalty, the journey of redemption, and the profound experience of true forgiveness.

About Puppy Brain:

Puppy Brain is a compassionate, science-backed guide to raising a confident, resilient dog. From potty training schedules to spay and neuter guidance, Kerry Nichols walks readers through the key developmental stages of puppyhood, offering clear strategies to build trust, support emotional wellness, and strengthen the human-canine bond. Endorsed by leading veterinarians and trainers, this book is an essential read for anyone welcoming a new best friend.
