![]() ![]() Reader Votes 33 Our Verdict GET IT New York Times Bestseller 171 GIRL IN PIECES by Kathleen Glasgow RELEASE DATE: Aug. Throughout, readers will be moved by displays of compassion, strength, and faith as characters endure grim realities and face an uncertain future. THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN by Susan Beth Pfeffer bookshelf This grittily provocative debut explores the horrors of self-harm and the healing power of artistic expression. Still, hope is never completely extinguished. Moments of relief are frequently tinged with horror, as when Miranda and Alex must bypass a rotting corpse to get to a horde of food. Pfeffer masterfully evokes the cold, colorless world in which her characters reside. Despite there now being more mouths to feed, Miranda's mother welcomes them, and Miranda finds herself falling in love with Alex, one of the refugees, as they spend hours together, scavenging abandoned houses for essentials. Miranda's family is barely scraping by on food rations when Miranda's father, stepmother, their baby, and three other refugees show up unexpectedly. A year after the moon was thrown off course by a meteor, natural disasters and climate changes on Earth are still making mere existence a challenge. Join forces in this third installment of a harrowing saga set in the not so distant future. ![]() The protagonists of Pfeffer's novels The Dead and the Gone ![]()
