Sneak Peek: December 2022 Indie Next List

The December 2022 Indie Next List includes FOUR Macmillan titles!

THE LINGBERGH NANNY by Mariah Fredericks
9781250827401 | 11/15/22

“This is a compelling story about a courageous woman nearly forgotten by history, with a bittersweet mix of sorrow and redemption; for readers who enjoy Jennifer Chiaverini, Marie Benedict, or Melanie Benjamin.”–Booklist

WINTERLAND by Rae Meadows
9781250834522 | 11/29/22

“Meadows skilfully articulates the risks and rewards of high-level competition, the divine feeling of being chosen to represent one’s country and the fragility of the human body. For those who loved Hannah Orenstein’s HEAD OVER HEELS and Alena Dillon’s THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD, WINTERLAND is a historic look back at a generation of Soviet talent, ambition, and sacrifice, inside and outside the gym.”–Booklist, starred review

MY DARKEST PRAYER by S. A. Cosby
9781250867636 | 12/6/22

“Having blasted into the thriller stratosphere with RAZORBLADE TEARS and BLACKTOP WASTELAND, Cosby earns a reissue of his debut novel. Here, former marine and deputy sheriff Nathan Waymaker, now working at his cousin’s funeral home, is tasked with uncovering the truth about a local preacher’s untimely death.”–Library Journal, Pre-Pub Alert

EMPIRE OF ICE AND STONE: The Disastrous and Heroic Voyage of the Karluk by Buddy Levy
9781250274441 | 12/6/22

“The bulk of the book recounts the day-to-day terror of the crew as they tried to move from the ice to land, set up camps in unforgiving terrain, and kept from starving or freezing to death. Each new challenge the group faced reads more intensely than a thriller, and it is always unclear who will survive to be rescued, or if a rescue will come. VERDICT For readers who enjoy stories of survival in extreme settings.”–Library Journal
