New books by Susan R. Sloan and Doug Nufer

New this week from the Pacific Northwest

This week Susan R. Sloan gives us the story of how a woman comes to marry an abuser, how a man turns into an abuser and how both manage to keep the violence a secret for 40 years. The book is Behind Closed Doors.

Also this week, Doug Nufer gives us one for the record books. His Never Again is a 202-page book in which not one word is repeated. The story is about a tracetrack gambler who tries to avoid past mistakes by doing and saying nothing he has done or said before.
