On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it
is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped
and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife
disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River.
Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy
daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's
diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on
edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as
Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of
lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s
definitely bitter—but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple
in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his
twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if
Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery
gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
(Vintage) Paperback - Cheryl Strayed
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
