SHATTERED:
Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign
by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes
Crown, April 2017

It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the tragic story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary’s campaign–the candidate herself.
Through deep access to insiders from the top to the bottom of the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on the authors’ deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, the acclaimed biography HRC, Shattered will offer an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders.

Jonathan Allen has covered national politics for Politico, Bloomberg, and Vox. He is the head of community and content for Sidewire, and writes a weekly political column for Roll Call.

Amie Parnes is the senior White House correspondent for The Hill newspaper in Washington. She covered Hillary Clinton during the campaign and will cover the Trump administration.

BREAK MY HEART 1000 TIMES
by Daniel Waters
Hyperion, October 2012

On some days, it doesn’t bother Veronica that she sees ghosts everywhere. Other times, it breaks her heart to see the neighborhood ghosts, or to share her mirror with a teenage ghost combing his hair. But like everyone else living in the aftermath of The Event, seeing ghosts is just part of everyday life.
After The Event, a catastrophe that killed four million people, ghosts are everywhere, and more appear all the time. Most people have gotten used to the daily hauntings, but others are questioning where all the ghosts have come from, and why now?
As one of Veronica’s high school teachers tries to get to the bottom of The Event, another teacher, August, is crippled by the death of his daughter and troubled by why her ghost won’t reenter his life. But maybe instead of reappearing as a ghost, she’s waiting to reappear with a body. August has tried finding a host for his daughter before, but no one has ever been as close a fit as Veronica. Even his daughter’s death-day is the same date as Veronica’s birthday, February 29th—a day that shouldn’t exist. The more August starts to follow Veronica, the more he thinks she’s a perfect match. And even if he’s wrong, what’s the harm in creating one more ghost?

BREAK MY HEART 1,000 TIMES will leave you with the chills. Or is that the ghost reading over your shoulder?
