RED SEAL, Rosa Kwon Easton

A Korean mother and son navigate wars, displacement, and identity across decades and borders in a moving multigenerational saga by the author of White Mulberry.

In 1943 Japan, the Pacific War rages on. Miyoung, a Korean-born single mother and nurse, defies an order to serve in the Imperial Japanese Army and instead flees with her six-year-old son, Ko-chan, who is leaving everything familiar behind, including the grandparents he loves. Miyoung hopes Ko-chan will finally claim his heritage and that she can reclaim her own as well.

Miyoung promises her anxious son an adventure. Their life-changing trek to Miyoung’s homeland takes them first to Japan-occupied Manchuria, where Miyoung’s brother offers shelter and Ko-chan, coming of age, begins to question where his future lies. When Japan’s defeat in World War II forces them to escape again, it triggers a decades-long odyssey of survival, sacrifice, and—for the generations to follow—a search for identity across three nations.

A powerful tribute to the endurance of family bonds, Red Seal (Lake Union, October 2026) explores the struggle to define oneself when torn between multiple worlds and by cultural upheaval, and the resilience it takes to find a place to call home.

Praise for Red Seal

“Like the previous tale, this continuation of Miyoung’s story features themes of culture and identity, immigration, and determining one’s own destiny.” —Booklist

“A gripping multigenerational saga that shines a light on an often-forgotten piece of history.” —Woman’s World

“Rosa Kwon Easton’s Red Seal depicts the fraught, inspiring journey of a Korean mother and son as they navigate war, displacement, and identity during the aftermath of World War II. It is a heartfelt tribute to the endurance of family bonds and the hardiness it takes to find a new place to call home.” —Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and All the Glimmering Stars

“A gorgeous and moving historical narrative that is epic and intimate at the same time. At the heart of this riveting story is a mother’s love for her son as they navigate their way through the tumultuous history of Korea in modern times. A revelatory novel of history, family, and love.” —Minsoo Kang, author of The Melancholy of Untold History

“Rosa Kwon Easton masterfully sweeps the reader along on a journey through countries and decades as mother and son each search for their true identities. Red Seal will touch you with the struggles they face and provide a valuable glimpse into the Asian countries torn apart by war.” —Lyn Liao Butler, bestselling author of The Fourth Daughter

“I could not put this book down. Engrossing, suspenseful, and searing, Red Seal is a tale of reclamation and resilience in a turbulent time in Korean and Japanese history. In direct and powerful language, Rosa Kwon Easton has crafted an epic story of the lengths a mother will go to ensure the survival of her children as well as the identities we claim—privately and publicly—through sustained losses. You will be swept up by the twists of history and human fate and stay for Miyoung and Soonho—a story of how we become the people we always hoped.” —Hyeseung Song, author of Docile: Memoirs of a Not-So-Perfect Asian Girl

BEYOND THE PINK: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer, Eleonora Teplinsky MD

BEYOND THE PINK: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer (Grand Central Balance, September 2026) educates and empowers you to be your own―and best―advocate. 

A breast cancer diagnosis is life-changing at any age, but it can be especially distressing when you are navigating diagnosis, treatment, and side effects while balancing work, relationships, parenting, fertility concerns, and more. In these moments, thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based support can make all the difference.

In Beyond the Pink, board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Teplinsky picks up where the clinical visits leave off, going beyond the science and medicine to focus on the everyday challenges encountered by younger breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers. Beyond the Pink helps you navigate every step of the way, offering:

  • The most up-to-date information on screening, diagnosis, genetics and treatment options;
  • Practical tools for emotional issues, such as anxiety, depression, body image, and fear of cancer recurrence;
  • Information on treating and living with metastatic breast cancer;
  • A clear overview of how cancer treatments affect health, including menopause, cardiovascular, bone, muscle, brain, and sexual health, with practical strategies to manage them; and
  • Real stories from breast cancer previvors, survivors and thrivers, along with additional expert insight.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, Beyond the Pink is your go-to resource.

Review

“This is the book I will be recommending to my patients―and the one I wish I had in my hands when I was diagnosed as a young woman. Dr. Teplinsky truly goes ‘beyond the pink,’ delivering a guide that is as comprehensive as it is compassionate, and one that recognizes a fundamental truth: survivorship begins the day you are diagnosed.”―Dr. Corinne Menn, OBGYN, menopause and survivorship specialist

“As a gynecologist who cares for women navigating the aftermath of a breast cancer diagnosis, I cannot overstate the importance of Beyond the Pink. Too often, patients leave the whirlwind of diagnosis and treatment only to find themselves asking, ‘Now what?’ This book answers that question. It should be required reading not only for women diagnosed with breast cancer, but also for the clinicians, partners, family members, and friends walking beside them.”―Dr. Kameelah Phillips, author of The Empowered Hysterectomy

“As my own oncologist, Dr. Teplinsky has guided me through some of the hardest and most uncertain moments of my life with both brilliance and deep compassion; Beyond the Pink reflects that same care on every page. It’s the kind of resource you’ll want to highlight, dog-ear, and share with every woman you love.”―Miranda McKeon, actress and content creator

“Beyond the Pink is a comforting, friendly and informative book that will walk anyone affected by breast cancer through the treatment rollercoaster. Dr. Teplinsky draws on her years of experience looking after people like you and me and gets that the impact of cancer doesn’t end when your treatment does. If you’re going to buy a book, put this at the top of your list.”―Dr. Liz O’Riordan, breast surgeon and breast cancer patient

“Dr. Teplinsky has written the book I wish every one of my patients could have: it is evidence-based, deeply human, and candid about topics often left unsaid. From the very first mammogram to the realities of life during and after treatment, she approaches women not simply as patients, but as whole people with unique goals, challenges, and concerns. This is the kind of resource patients return to again and again―one that helps them better understand their options, navigate uncertainty, and feel more confident in the decisions they make along the way.”―Elizabeth Comen, MD, breast oncologist, author, All In Her Head

“There are doctors who treat breast cancer, and then there are doctors who truly walk alongside us through it. Dr. Teplinsky is one of those rare people. Through expert guidance, heartfelt survivor stories, and deep compassion, Beyond the Pink reminds us that we are so much more than our diagnosis. Every survivor deserves this book!”―Dr. Brooklyn Olumba, patient advocate

“Beyond the Pink is the compassionate, evidence-based guide I would give to each individual newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Teplinsky leads readers through each treatment decision- surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy- and onward to life after cancer. Clear, hopeful, and empowering, this book is an essential companion for anyone facing breast cancer.”―Amy Comander MD, FACLM, breast oncologist, Director of Lifestyle Medicine, Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, Instructor in Medicine, Harvard Medical School

“Beyond the Pink is the roadmap every breast cancer patient needs. Dr. Teplinsky is a trusted voice in the breast cancer community. Her ability to break down complex medical information into something clear and understandable sets her apart. This book empowers patients with the knowledge and reassurance needed to make informed decisions and move forward with confidence. A must read for anyone facing a breast cancer diagnosis.”―Katie Thurston, former Bachelorette and breast cancer advocate

“Breast cancer affects every part of your life. With nuance and compassion, Dr. Teplinsky astutely addresses the many topics that often get lost in diagnosis and treatment, including intimate relationships and body image. Beyond the Pink is a comprehensive, essential resource no matter where you are on your journey. Keep this indispensable guide close.” ―Jessica Zucker, PhD, MPH, psychologist, award-winning author of Normalize It and I Had a Miscarriage

VONNEGUT’S WAR: The Making of Slaughterhouse-Five, Susan Farrell

Banned, burned, and censored, Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five is widely regarded as one of the greatest (and most controversial) novels of the twentieth century. Fusing vivid biography with popular history and close textual analysis, Vonnegut’s War: The Making of Slaughterhouse-Five (Bloomsbury Academic, August 2026) tells the fascinating story of the making of a modern classic and the writer that created it.
New archival discoveries and recently released oral histories give us the fullest account yet published of Vonnegut’s real-life prisoner-of-war experiences at Stalag IV-B and Dresden, which heavily influenced Slaughterhouse-Five. A recently discovered trove of letters introduces us to his first wife, Jane Cox Vonnegut, and her influence on his writing. Along the way, we also encounter UFOs and aliens, grapple with the shadow cast by the Vietnam war, and unearth the stranger-than-fiction tale of David Irving’s The Destruction of Dresden, the historical reference behind Vonnegut’s writing about the Dresden firebombing.  This book sheds light on one of America’s most beloved writers and explores how cultural forces helped to shape a modern masterpiece of storytelling.

Reviews

“An arresting account of the creation and impact of Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel . . . Through Farrell’s detailed storytelling, including gutting scenes of Vonnegut’s wartime imprisonment, Slaughterhouse-Five emerges as an alchemical mixture of its author’s biography, the realities of war, and the 1960s cultural zeitgeist. This is a tour de force of literary detective work.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

“In Vonnegut’s War, Professor Susan Farrell neatly pieces together how Vonnegut created a modern classic whose anti-war message remains as relevant as ever.” ―The Independent

“Vonnegut’s War draws on oral histories and new archival discoveries, shedding light on how cultural forces shaped the classic 1969 time travel novel.” ―SFX

“When Kurt Vonnegut was my teacher, and the first reader of my first novel, he was writing Slaughterhouse-Five. Susan Farrell perceptively illuminates Kurt’s arduous rewriting of his POW experience as fiction; she also brings to light the enduring effect of this courageous novel on Vonnegut’s literary reputation and the rest of his life. First my mentor, later my dear friend, Kurt’s life and fiction were forever affected by the Allied bombing of Dresden, which Susan Farrell has admirably and comprehensively depicted.” ―John Irving

“Susan Farrell writes with warmth and style. Her penetrating study of Kurt Vonnegut’s life and work uncovers facets that freshly illuminate a much-read novel we thought we knew. With one keen insight after another, Farrell shows why Slaughterhouse-Five was a novel for its time, how it made its tumultuous, icon-smashing and self-questioning time, and why it remains a novel for our time.” ―Ken Kalfus

“Farrell writes the defining historiography of SL5, answering the question,“How the hell did Vonnegut do that?” by sequencing its well archived drafts before contextualizing his narrative choices. And that’s just the half of it. Farrell addresses SL5’s principle defining discussions including its metafictional elements, the questioned morality of Dresden’s bombing, its adoption as a valued tome among Vietnam protestors, Vonnegut’s science fiction albatross, and the novel’s importance in court history as a frequent target for censorship.” ―Marc Leeds, Author of The Vonnegut Encyclopedia,

“This book is superb. It’s a unique, fresh, deep dive into how Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut’s seminal work, came about. It’s also a damn good read: Concise, substantial, entertaining, surprising.” ―Suzanne McConnell, author of ‘Pity the Reader: On Writing with Style’ by Kurt Vonnegut and Suzanne McConnell

About the Author

Susan Farrell is a Professor of American Literature at the College of Charleston, USA. Susan has published two previous books on Vonnegut, founded the International Kurt Vonnegut Society in 2008 and has served as an officer in the organization ever since.

A CRUISE TO NOWHERE: My Search for Amy Lynn Bradley, James Renner

Gripping, suspenseful, and layered with insight, this is the first full account of the infamous disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley while onboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean—from the acclaimed author of True Crime Addict.
In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise. The trip was a chance to celebrate Ron’s success at work and Amy’s college graduation.
In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic 23-year-old—returned to the family’s stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship’s nightclub. Amy grabbed a blanket and went out to sleep on the balcony. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone. What happened to her remains a mystery.
Did Amy fall or jump into the water? Did she leave the boat voluntarily when it docked at Curaçao that morning? Was she smuggled off against her will and trafficked in one of the island’s brothels? In a baffling case filled with false leads, rumors, and conflicting witness reports, the only certainty is that, nearly three decades later, the Bradleys are still looking for Amy.
Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy’s disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy.
With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy’s life that may explain everything about her fate.

A Cruise to Nowhere: My Search for Amy Lynn Bradley was released by Kensington in July 2026.
