Author Lisa Genova returns with Inside the O'Briens (Gallery), a new novel that does for Huntington's Disease what her debut, Still Alice, did for Alzheimer's. Joe O'Brien is a 44-year-old police officer who begins experiencing bouts of disorganized thinking, temper outbursts, and strange, involuntary movements. He initially attributes these episodes to job stress, but as the symptoms worsen, he agrees to see a neurologist and is handed a diagnosis that will change his and his family's lives forever. Genova has once again delivered a novel as powerful as the human insights at its core.

As Skookum Summer (University of Washington) begins, the year is 1981, and reporter Tom Dawson slinks back to his tiny Puget Sound hometown after making a disastrous mistake at the LA Times. Working reluctantly at the local weekly, the Big Skookum Echo, Tom is drawn into investigating a powerful logger's murder. As the mystery deepens, the murder exposes the strains on the community as pollution, development, and global change threaten traditional Northwest livelihoods. Jack Hart, former managing editor at the Oregonian, weaves together a gripping and suspenseful plot with richly observed Pacific Northwest history and a vivid picture of a community on the brink of change.

The act of creating art, in all its forms, offers us a path to our souls. But the path can be confusing, and getting lost along the way is inevitable. However, maybe that's the point. In The Trickster's Hat (Perigee), Nick Bantock, author of the Griffin and Sabine cycle, invites you to lose yourself in order to become a better creator. Forty-nine perceptive exercises will encourage you to forget your destination while you meander through the wondrous world that awaits you in the periphery of your mind's eye.
