But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come\u2014as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war\u2014became one of our founding legends.<\/p>\r\n<p>In <em>The Ride<\/em>, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere\u2019s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed\u2014a loosely coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America\u2019s independence.<br \/>Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, <em>The Ride<\/em> re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers.\u00a0 Audible available\u00a0 \u00a0 289 pages<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"DeltaPlaceHolderMain\">_______________________________________________________<\/span><span id=\"DeltaPlaceHolderMain\"><\/span><span id=\"DeltaPlaceHolderMain\"><\/span><span id=\"DeltaPlaceHolderMain\"><\/span><span id=\"DeltaPlaceHolderMain\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4><a name=\"Kin\"><\/a><\/h4>\r\n<h5><strong>November 2026 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kin-Oprahs-Book-Club-Novel-ebook\/dp\/B0FPL3QMCQ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Kin: A Novel<\/em><\/a> by Tayari Jones<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kin-Oprahs-Book-Club-Novel-ebook\/dp\/B0FPL3QMCQ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-29812 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/23Nov2026-book_Kin-A-Novel.jpg?resize=197%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Click to Kin on Amazon\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/23Nov2026-book_Kin-A-Novel.jpg?resize=197%2C300&amp;ssl=1 197w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/23Nov2026-book_Kin-A-Novel.jpg?resize=296%2C450&amp;ssl=1 296w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/23Nov2026-book_Kin-A-Novel.jpg?resize=768%2C1167&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/23Nov2026-book_Kin-A-Novel.jpg?w=987&amp;ssl=1 987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/strong><\/a><strong>Meeting:\u00a0 <\/strong><em><strong>November 23rd, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; in the Fireside Room<br \/><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0\u2022 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 OPRAH&#8217;S BOOK CLUB PICK \u2022 KIRKUS PRIZE FINALIST \u2022\u00a0 A novel about mothers and daughters, friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction.<\/p>\r\n<p>Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood but are fated to live starkly different lives.

The heart of Mitch Albom\u2019s newest novel is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we\u2019ve had all along.<\/p>\r\n<p>When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try\u2014for better or worse.<br \/>He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it\u2019s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety. <br \/>Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment.<br \/>But as the years pass, Alfie\u2019s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever.<\/p>\r\n<p>The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him, he slowly uncovers Alfie\u2019s incredible story, and its most unlikely conclusion.
