In the vein of Kathleen Barber and Julia Heaberlin comes an electrifying debut suspense that pits the inhabitants of a small town against each other. Nine years ago, July Weaver’s little sister was one of the first victims of the Pacific Lake Killer, a serial killer in Georgia. When other girls began to disappear and were found dead, it was July’s testimony that put her own father into prison for the crimes. After the sentencing, she fled to Nashville to focus on her music career and to try to forget the horrible past. But when her brother tries to kill himself, July is forced to come back home and reunite with her four remaining siblings. What she isn’t expecting is to uncover new evidence that makes her question everything that happened to her sister nine years ago. Is it possible that July blamed the wrong person? Is it possible that the Pacific Lake Killer is still out there? As the linchpin to the case against her father—and the reason the Pacific Lake Killer case is closed—July knows it isn’t long before the killer will set their eyes back on her. If they’re really still out there.

There is a persistent myth in our culture that in order to lead a fulfilling life we must pursue happiness at all times. In her groundbreaking work, Emily Esfahani Smith explains that it is actually the search for meaning that will bring fulfilment. She argues that meaning is all around us in vast untapped resources, and that the key is finding it in the right here, right now. Her inspiring TED Talk on the same topic has been viewed over a million times. To explore how we can change our lives for the better, she draws on the latest research in psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as insights from figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and the Buddha. She shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery, can immeasurably deepen our lives. To do this she visits remarkable people and places, such as a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and a drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit. She explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning

In a culture fixated on happiness, this insightful book reveals pathways to a more fulfilling life. Many believe that finding meaning requires distant travels or scholarly pursuits, yet the truth is that sources of meaning are readily available in our everyday lives. The author synthesizes diverse insights from psychologists, philosophers, and historical figures like George Eliot and Viktor Frankl to illustrate how we can cultivate meaningful lives. By fostering connections, pursuing a purpose, narrating our stories, and embracing mystery, we can significantly enrich our existence. To illustrate the four pillars of meaning, the author visits a close-knit fishing village, stargazes in West Texas, and attends gatherings where young people share experiences of loss. She introduces various seekers of meaning, such as a former drug kingpin who finds purpose in fitness and an artist inspired by her Hindu roots. Additionally, she explores how to create a culture that encourages introspection, community, and a deeper sense of meaning. This inspiring, narrative-driven exploration will resonate with anyone in search of a life that truly matters.
