Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction.

Even before the rumors about the Mansfield girls begin, Little Nettlebed is a village steeped in the uncanny, from strange creatures that wash up on the riverbed to portentous ravens gathering on the roofs of people about to die. But when the villagers start to hear barking, and when one claims to see the Mansfield sisters transform before his very eyes, the allegations spark fascination and fear like nothing has before. The truth is that the inhabitants of Little Nettlebed have never much liked the Mansfield girls-a little odd, think some; a little high on themselves, perhaps-but they've always had plenty to say about them and, as the rotating perspectives of five of the villagers quickly make clear, now is no exception. Belief in witchcraft is waning but an aversion to difference is as widespread as ever, and these conflicting narratives all point to the same ultimate conclusion: something isn't right in Little Nettlebed, and the sisters will be the ones to pay for it. As relevant today as any time before, The Hounding celebrates the wild breaks from convention we're all sometimes pulled toward, and wonders if, in a world like this one, it isn't safer to be a dog than an unusual young girl"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2614469</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2614469</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Purvis, Xenobe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2614469152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250366382/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1452442997</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lion Women of Tehran]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown.

Named "Ketanji Onyika," meaning "Lovely One," based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power don't look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood. Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson's journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2460292</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2460292</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jackson, Ketanji Brown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2460292152</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217014224/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1443694150</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets -- and becomes one of -- the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era."--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2200648</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2200648</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hannah, Kristin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2200648152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250178633/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1385503346</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["'Women can be heroes, too.'

Now, in honor of America's 250th birthday, O'Donnell focuses that passion on sharing the stories of American heroines who helped change the course of history. We the Women presents a new and extraordinary retelling of American history through the eyes of women, introducing us to inspiring patriots who demanded that the country live up to the promises made 250 years ago in the Declaration of Independence: that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The pressing question from women since the signing of the document has been: Why don't those unalienable rights apply to us? Through extensive research and interviews, as well as old photos and historic documents, O'Donnell curates a compelling portrait of these fierce fighters for freedom. From Mary Katharine Goddard, who printed the first signed Declaration of Independence, to the Forten family women, considered the "Black Founders" of Philadelphia who were active in the abolition and suffrage movements, to the first women who served in the Armed Forces even before they had the right to vote, O'Donnell brings these extraordinary women together for the first time, and in doing so, writes the American story anew.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2820522</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2820522</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Donnell, Norah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2820522152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593727027/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1528513471</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Book Club for Troublesome Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["Margaret Ryan never really meant to start a book club . . . or a feminist revolution in her buttoned-up suburb"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2541164</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2541164</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bostwick, Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2541164152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781400344741/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1457637722</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wall]]></title><description><![CDATA["While vacationing in a hunting lodge in the Austrian mountains, a middle-aged woman awakens one morning to find herself separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall.

So where is it? Well, for reasons this book makes crystal clear, that pill will never exist -- but as a result of the research that's gone into it, scientists in the last few years have learned more about how women's sexuality works than we ever thought possible. The first lesson in this book is that every woman has her own unique sexuality, like a fingerprint, and that women vary more than men in their anatomy, their sexual response mechanisms, and the way their bodies respond to the sexual world. Second lesson: sex happens in a context. And all the complications of everyday life influence the context surrounding a woman's arousal, desire, and orgasm. Research across multiple disciplines tells us that the most important factor for women in creating and sustaining a fulfilling sex life, is not what you do in bed or how you do it, but how you feel about it. Which means that stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman's sexual wellbeing; they are central to it.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1322214</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1322214</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nagoski, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1322214152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Surprising New Science That Will Transform your Sex Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476762098/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=879642467</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil Genius]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this sly, darkly funny novel, a young woman becomes increasingly obsessed with tales of love and death, and begins subconsciously plotting to murder her abusive husband"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2804042</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2804042</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oshetsky, Claire]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2804042152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063466487/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1520326164</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bewitching]]></title><description><![CDATA["'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches.' That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva--stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts.

Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity yet too often women in particular neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss, and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms--what Dr. Vonda Wright refers to as the "musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause"--can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility, and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr. Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories: Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function. Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth. Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life. Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of "zombie cells" and improve your cell function. Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2713714</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2713714</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wright, Vonda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2713714152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Go Strong.

As a child, Kathy -- now thirty-one years old -- lived at Hailsham, a private school in the scenic English countryside where the children were sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe that they were special and that their well-being was crucial not only for themselves but for the society they would eventually enter. Kathy had long ago put this idyllic past behind her, but when two of her Hailsham friends come back into her life, she stops resisting the pull of memory. And so, as her friendship with Ruth is rekindled, and as the feelings that long ago fueled her adolescent crush on Tommy begin to deepen into love, Kathy recalls their years at Hailsham. She describes happy scenes of boys and girls growing up together, unperturbed -- even comforted--by their isolation. But she describes other scenes as well: of discord and misunderstanding that hint at a dark secret behind Hailsham's nurturing facade. With the dawning clarity of hindsight, the three friends are compelled to face the truth about their childhood -- and about their lives now.

That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva--stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2602988</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2602988</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moreno-Garcia, Silvia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2602988152</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217083688/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1527906578</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just Kids]]></title><description><![CDATA["It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-Second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous, the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame" --Front sleeve.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C412438</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C412438</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Patti]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/412438152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780060936228/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=496864395</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dream Count]]></title><description><![CDATA["A sweeping story about four women whose lives are shaped by love, longing, and pain.

It's 1879, and Lenox is convalescing from the violent events of his last investigation. But a desperate letter from an old servant forces him to pick up the trail of a cold case: the murder of an apothecary seven years before, whose only clue is an odd emblem carved into the doorway of the building where the man was killed. When Lenox finds a similar mark at the site of another murder, he begins to piece together a hidden pattern which leads him into the corridors of Parliament, the slums of East London, and ultimately the very heart of the British upper class. At the same time, Lenox must contend with the complexities of his personal life: a surprising tension with his steadfast wife, Lady Jane, over her public support of the early movement for women's suffrage; the arrival of Angela Lenox, a mysterious young cousin from India, with an unexpected companion; the dizzying ascent of his brother, Sir Edmund Lenox, to one of the highest political posts in the land; the growing family of his young partners in detection, Polly and Dallington; and the return of the problems that have long bedeviled one of his closest friends, the dashing Scottish physician Thomas McConnell. Featuring a beloved cast of characters, a top-notch puzzle, and Finch's trademark humor and richness of historical detail, The Hidden City is a novel by a master at the top of his form"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2216684</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2216684</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Finch, Charles (Charles B.)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2216684152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250767165/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1528596019</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Rose Code]]></title><description><![CDATA[Joining the elite Bletchley Park codebreaking team during World War II, three women from very different walks of life uncover a spy's dangerous agenda years later against the backdrop of the royal wedding of Elizabeth and Philip.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2696514</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2696514</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Quinn, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2696514152</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063062450/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1224591503</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent]]></title><description><![CDATA["On the surface, Marisa's life looks enviable. She lives in a beautiful apartment in the center of Madrid, she has a hot neighbor who is always around to sleep with her, and she's quickly risen through the ranks at a successful advertising agency. And yet she's drowning in a dark hole of existential dread induced by the banality of corporate life. Marisa hates her job and everyone at it. She spends her working hours locked in her office hiding from her coworkers, bingeing YouTube videos, and getting high on tranquilizers. When she has the time, she escapes to her favorite museum where she contemplates the meaning of life while staring at Hieronymus Bosch paintings, or trying to get hit by a car so she can go on disability. But Marisa's dubious success, which is largely built on lies and work she's stolen from other people, is in danger of being exposed when she's forced to go on her company's team-building retreat. Isolated in the Segovia forests, haunted by the deeply buried memory of a former coworker, and surrounded by psychopathic bosses, overzealous coworkers, flirty retreat staff, and an excess of drugs, Marisa finds herself acting on her wildest impulses and is pushed to the brink of a complete spiral"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2727353</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2727353</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Serrano, Beatriz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2727353152</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217006762/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1467887214</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[West Side Story]]></title><description><![CDATA[Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner, this adaptation of the 1957 musical tells the classic tale of forbidden love and fierce rivalries between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds, set in 1957 New York City.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1895751</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1895751</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1895751152</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1292559700&amp;upc=786936881219</image_url></item></channel></rss>
