The second chance store : a novel / by Bravo, Lauren,author.; revision of:Bravo, Lauren.Preloved.;
City dweller Gwen feels like she's living a secondhand life. She's thirty-eight, perpetually single, and in dire need of a dentist's appointment. Her friends are busy procreating in the country, and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around hedge borders and the trash pickup schedule. Above all she's lonely. But then, isn't everyone? Then she's let go from a job she drifted into a decade ago and never left, and Gwen realizes it's time to make a change, starting with cleaning out her apartment. In the charity shop where she literally and metaphorically unloads her baggage, she discovers a group of weird and wonderful people devoted to finding a new home for donated items that have lost their use elsewhere. Gwen volunteers there--and finds a new home for herself among her fellow workers while discovering joy in the untold stories of secondhand things. Now it's time for Gwen to get out of her life in pause, and to find a way to move forward with bravery and humanity--and more regular dental care.

The parade : a novel / by Eggers, Dave,author.;
"From a beloved author, a spare, powerful story of two men, Western contractors sent to work far from home, tasked with paving a road to the capital in a dangerous and largely lawless country. Four and Five are partners, working for the same company, sent without passports to a nation recovering from ten years of civil war. Together, operating under pseudonyms and anonymous to potential kidnappers, they are given a new machine, the RS-90, and tasked with building a highway that connects the country's far-flung villages with the capital. Four, nicknamed "the Clock," is one of the highway's most experienced operators, never falling short of his assigned schedule. He drives the RS-90, stopping only to sleep and eat the food provided by the company. But Five is an agent of chaos: speeding ahead on his vehicle, chatting and joking with locals, eating at nearby bars and roadside food stands, he threatens the schedule, breaks protocol, and endangers the work that they must complete in time for a planned government parade. His every action draws Four's ire, but when illness, corruption, and theft compromise their high-stakes mission, Four and Five discover danger far greater than anything they could pose to one another."--
