THE BLOCKBUSTER HIT--Over two million copies sold A New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller

Look for Lisa Wingate's powerful new historical novel, The Book of Lost Friends, available now

"Poignant, engrossing."--People - "Lisa Wingate takes an almost unthinkable chapter in our nation's history and weaves a tale of enduring power."--Paula McLain

Memphis, 1939.
Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family's Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge--until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children's Home Society orphanage, the Foss children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents--but they quickly realize the dark truth. At the mercy of the facility's cruel director, Rill fights to keep her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty.

Aiken, South Carolina, present day. Born into wealth and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fianc , and a lavish wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through her family's long-hidden history, on a path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption.

Based on one of America's most notorious real-life scandals--in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country--Lisa Wingate's riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.

Rugged wallet built to last (even if wallets themselves are becoming obsolete)
Color: Black (Trifold), Color: Black (Trifold)
This is a really well-made wallet. If you’re familiar with Carhartt products, the construction here is exactly what you’d expect: tough, practical, and clearly designed to take some abuse. The material is "700D nylon duck fabric", which feels thick and durable—more like a piece of work gear than a fashion accessory. In the photos you can see the tight stitching, heavy canvas-like texture, and reinforced seams, all of which suggest it should last for years. It feels like the kind of wallet that could live in a back pocket, get sat on, tossed around, and still keep going. Inside, the layout is simple and functional. The see-through mesh ID window is one of my favorite touches—it makes it easy to show an ID without removing it. The card slots are snug and the trifold layout keeps everything organized. There’s also a small zippered pocket, which you can see in the photos along the side. It’s not huge, but it can hold a few coins or maybe a couple of small keys. The wallet also includes RFID blocking, which is nice if you’re concerned about wireless card scanning. On the flip side, that also means you can’t just tap the wallet against a reader for contactless payments. You’ll need to take the card out first. Carhartt also advertises water resistance, which makes sense given the nylon construction. Realistically, most of us aren’t dunking our wallets in water, but it’s nice to know it could handle rain or the random spill (though come-on! How often does that happen with a wallet??) One interesting thing: wallets themselves are starting to feel a little outdated. I rarely carry one anymore, and most of my family uses phone wallets or digital payments. But if you’re someone who still likes having a physical wallet for cards, ID, and some cash, this is a solid one. It’s a simple, rugged, no-nonsense wallet that should last a long time - very much in line with the Carhartt reputation. If you’re still in the wallet camp, this is a dependable choice. Plus it makes a nice gift.

Possibly a family heirloom?
Color: Black (Bifold), Color: Black (Bifold)
I ordered the Carhartt Men’s 700D Nylon Duck Wallet Bifold from Amazon, and it arrived very quickly. Once again, Amazon’s shipping and logistics proved that they are operating on some sort of wizard-level efficiency. In a world where most of our important information lives on our cell phones, it’s still nice to carry a good old-fashioned wallet. I’m apparently not ready to trust my entire identity to a slab of glass and lithium, so I still carry a wallet with my ID, a few credit cards, and occasionally some cash (for those rare situations where cash is still king). When I saw this wallet on Amazon and recognized the Carhartt name, I ordered it without hesitation. Opening the package revealed exactly what was advertised: a bifold wallet with RFID-blocking technology. While I have never been the victim of an RFID theft, I now feel confident that no one will be secretly scanning my debit card from across the room. Peace of mind is priceless. Construction-wise, this wallet is made of sturdy nylon and feels like it could survive daily abuse without complaint. It looks like it can handle being sat on, dropped, stuffed in pockets, and generally mistreated like most wallets are. The nylon also provides a bit of water resistance, which is great for anyone who has ever been caught in the rain or spilled coffee on themselves. Speaking of durability, this wallet feels like it’s built to last for years, possibly decades. I still have nylon wallets from high school floating around somewhere, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this one outlives me. At the very least, it should make it to retirement. There’s definitely value here. In an age of digital everything, it’s still nice to have a physical wallet to carry physical things, and this one does the job well without trying to be fancy. Would I recommend this wallet to others? Absolutely, especially if you’re a wallet person. It’s a trustworthy brand known for durability and value. Who knows, maybe in 20 years this will be a collectible, and I’ll be telling people, “Yeah, they don’t make wallets like this anymore.”

Nice Everyday Watch
Color: Silver-tone/White
The watchband was a bit too big and no one seems to be able to take out a link. Other than that, it's an excellent inexpensive everyday watch
