“A stunning tale." —Booklist, STARRED review for How to Be RememberedFor readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew when someone was going to die...would you tell them? Family doctor Charlie Knight is in his late thirties, still playing tennis against the same people every Friday night. Still jogging the same streets every morning. Still treating the same patients every day—fixing the high blood pressure and arthritic knees of folks who’ve known him since he was a kid. But Charlie has a secret plan to escape. A plan to live the life he wants, even if the woman he was meant to do it with has left him behind. But then Genevieve Longstaff comes back to their hometown, just as something extraordinary happens. Charlie begins to have a vision of the exact number of days a person has left until they die. Charlie believes it’s a gift. It certainly seems like one—after all, he’s using it to help his patients, family and friends make the most of their lives: to mend relationships, to travel, to retire. But this gift comes with awful consequences, and soon Charlie realizes there are things he doesn’t want to know—especially about the woman he still loves.

A man who can never be remembered. A journey he’ll never forget. On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn's doting parents wake in a home without toys and diapers, without photos of their baby scattered about, and without any idea that the small child asleep in his crib is theirs. That's because Tommy is a boy destined to never be remembered. On the same day every year, everyone around him forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal Reset. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love. Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to finally trick the Reset and be remembered. But legacies aren't so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what's more important—the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us. With the speculative edge of How to Stop Time, the unending charm of Maria Semple, and the heart of your favorite book club read, How to Be Remembered is a life-affirming novel about discovering how to leave your mark on the places and people you love most.

The phrase "stay woke" was introduced into the American lexicon by the talented Black musician Huddie William Ledbetter ("Lead Belly") in 1938 in a song called Scottsboro Boys. The Scottsboro Boys were nine young Black men unjustly imprisoned following false claims of raping two white women in Alabama in 1931. The case drew national attention and exposed the blatant racism of the Alabama criminal justice system. The term "stay woke" was intended to warn Blacks to be aware of racial injustice. Drawn from these cruel and unfortunate circumstances, the word "woke," defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, means "to be aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues--especially racial and social justice issues." Unfortunately, some right-wing politicians have derailed the word's true meaning by co-opting it as divisive and advocating for a "colorblind" society to sever the connection between past systemic racial and social injustices from the lived experiences of people today. In "Stay Woke: Our Fight for Truth and Justice," a direct correlation is made between racially-charged laws and policies of the past to inequities experienced today in voting rights, education, housing, incarceration, healthcare, and generational wealth for Black Americans. This book dispels right-wing inspired political dogma attempting to redefine "woke" and addresses the impact of past policies such as redlining, voter suppression, racial disparities in health, and prison sentencing to understand our present better and ensure equality for generations to come. This is an ideal book for helping students and others to know how the past directly relates to today's political discourse and thoughts on racial and social justice.
