Other Indie FavoritesThose We Love Most: A Novel, by Lee Woodruff (Voice, $26.99) “Woodruff tackles a tough subject in Those We Love Most. The marriage of Maura and Pete was rocky before the tragic death of one of their children. Maura can’t get past her grief and guilt from the accident and is struggling to be a mother to her remaining children and a wife to Pete. Her parents, Roger and Margaret, are the epitome of a strong marriage, or so it seems. Can Roger’s compassion and Margaret’s level head steer this family out of grief? Can a marriage survive such a loss? A delicate subject is treated with poise and dignity.” —Kerri Childs, Kerri’s Korner Bookstore, Fairmont, WV

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving: A Novel, by Jonathan Evison (Algonquin, $23.95) “What a heartfelt journey we travel in this capriciously tragic story of Benjamin Benjamin Jr., caregiver extraordinaire. His charge, Trev, is a 19-year-old suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or, as Ben describes him, ‘a pretzel with a perfectly healthy imagination.’ Ben is suffering, too. He is trying to recover from a personal tragedy that has left him without a family or a job. To read this book is to be in a constant, conflicting state between tears and laughter.” —Lynn Riggs, Books & Company, Oconomowoc, WI

Another Indie FavoriteWhat It Is Like to Go to War, by Karl Marlantes (Grove Press, $15) “This is a courageous, noble, and intelligent grapple with myth, history, and spirituality that beautifully elevates the conversation on the role of the military in today’s world. Marlantes volunteers his knowledge and experience (and really, his soul) to the cause of crafting the model of a just and ethical warrior in the 21st century. The long-overdue reckoning that Marlantes’ novel Matterhorn deftly demanded of America is enhanced and extended with this new work. It is an emotional, honest, and affecting primer for all Americans on war and the national psyche. We ignore this book at our own peril.” —Ed Conklin, Chaucer’s Books, Santa Barbara, CA
