Happy pub day to Charlie Barber. His gripping book In the Blood tells the story of a life-saving medical invention but also the outrageous fight against the powers-that-be to get it used. Highly recommend. https://t.co/jQ33uE9BMY @GrandCentralPub https://t.co/neHzLLdGI5

So excited about the launch of my friend @ChrisKenneally important new book Ghosts of the Orphanage. @NewYorker calls it a “gripping” story about those who hold power, especially in the Church. Do not miss this one. https://t.co/H0ZCVNnt94
