Educated: A Memoir
This international bestseller chronicles author Tara Westover’s journey of family, loss and the struggle for a better future. Lacking a formal education, Tara began to educate herself.

The Gentleman From Moscow
The New York Times bestselling historical fiction novel tells the 30-year saga of the Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, who is placed under house arrest inside the Metropol Hotel in Moscow in 1922, when the Bolsheviks spare him from death or Siberia because of his 1913 revolutionary poem written in university.
