New York Times bestselling author Liane Moriarty talks about her newest novel HERE ONE MOMENT, a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. In this new novel, Moriarty poses this unnerving question to readers: if you knew you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Her bestselling titles include Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, The Husband's Secret, Truly Madly Guilty, Nine Perfect Strangers, and What Alice Forgot. Moriarty is regarded as a modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery.

In COUNTDOWN 1960: THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES STORY OF THE 312 DAYS THAT CHANGED AMERICA'S POLITICS FOREVER, CNN’s Chris Wallace gives us a fresh take on the lead-up to the historical presidential election of 1960, drawing timely parallels to the choice Americans face in 2024. Anchor of CNN's The Chris Wallace Show and host of Who's Talking to
Chris Wallace? on Max, Wallace does a deep dive into the deeply contentious contest between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. From the challenge of primary battles in a nation that had never elected a Catholic president, to the intense machinations of the national conventions—where JFK chose Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate over the impassioned objections of his brother Bobby—Countdown 1960 is a political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Like with many popular histories, readers will be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details.
Virtual viewing available. Begins Sunday, October 20, 2024, 3pmPT/6pmET and available video-on-demand for five days after.

DINNER FOR VAMPIRES: LIFE ON A CULT TV SHOW is a deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. In the early 2000s, Lenz' career was about to take off on the hit show, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith. Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.
