$13.00“Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together and they add up to the story of life.” This memoir by Rob Sheffield (music writer for Rolling Stone) uses 15 actual tapes from his life to frame his hilarious, truthful, and heartwarming story. Like how he and his dad wondered how “Hey Jude” would sound endlessly looped on 1 tape. And the music that captured his love story with Southern, punk-rocker, social butterfly, Renee. Although the cassette remains a memory of the 90’s, Sheffield reminds us how music brings people together and how a single song can open a bottle of memories.

This third novel from Strauss (Chang and Eng) tracks a Long Island family crisis. Josh Goldin is a happily married TV airtime salesman with an eight-month-old son. When baby Zack is treated twice for mysterious and life-threatening symptoms, the head of a pediatric ICU, Dr. Darlene Stokes, tells Child Protective Services that she thinks Josh's wife, Dori, suffers from Munchausen syndrome, whereby the afflicted injure their children deliberately to draw attention to themselves. The Goldins' ensuing battle to keep Zack provides grist for public debate about issues ranging from parents' rights to race.
