AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK | A USA TODAY BESTSELLER
#1 New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb, celebrated for two prior Oprah’s Book Club selections, returns with an exceptional third pick, an “incandescent” (Oprah Daily) novel following a young father grappling with unbearable tragedy as he searches for hope, redemption, and the possibility of forgiveness.
Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that’s before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother’s enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?
An “immersive novel of redemption” (The New Yorker), The River Is Waitingis another “soul-wrenching” (NPR) masterpiece from celebrated author Wally Lamb.

VERY SOFT; MY DOG’S ALREADY APPROPRIATED IT
Color: 01 Off White, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
You know a blanket’s soft when my dog immediately tries to appropriate it. This is incredibly soft, and actually pretty light; it makes for a good spring or summer blanket, or a throw in addition to something else in colder weather. (The twin is big enough that you can double it up over yourself to make it thicker in colder months.) I’m not sure while it’s called a “bubble” blanket - there is a very gentle egg crate shape to it, but it’s not rigid at all, and not dual-layer or filled with air or anything. It’s a very comfy throw (my dog can also attest to that) and for ~$20 (at the time of this review), it’s a great deal. I haven’t noticed any shedding, either, but I’m going to wash it on as gentle a cycle I can, to be safe.

I WANT MORE!!
Size: 60" X 80", Color: Sage Green
I knew I'd probably like this blanket, but I wasn't ready to immediately fall in love with it! It's fluffy, it's soft, it's warm, it's comforting (like being hugged & held), it's dark (like blackout curtain dark), the color is vibrant (I got green), and it's machine washable & dryer safe with ZERO SHEDDING! I WANT MORE!!

I am so happy with this faux fur throw! It’s unbelievably soft, cozy, and feels so luxurious. The color is gorgeous — even prettier in person — and it adds such a warm, stylish touch to my space. I love everything about it and would definitely buy it again!
