TODAY ONLY     Skyward by Mary Alice Monroe E.R. nurse Ella Majors has seen all the misery that she can handle. Burned-out and unsure of her next step, she accepts the temporary position as caregiver to Marion Henderson, a frightened five-year-old who suffers from juvenile diabetes. But Ella soon realizes there is more sorrow in the isolated home than the little girl's illness can account for. Harris Henderson, a single father, seems better able to deal with the wild birds he rehabilitates in his birds-of-prey sanctuary than with his own daughter. Today only, Skyward is $1.99 as a Kindle Daily Deal. $1.99 Originally: $6.99   AMAZON

TODAY'S DEALS     The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan Amy Tan's The Valley of Amazement is a sweeping, evocative epic of two women's intertwined fates and their search for identity, that moves from the lavish parlors of Shanghai courtesans to the fog-shrouded mountains of a remote Chinese village. Spanning more than forty years and two continents, The Valley of Amazement resurrects pivotal episodes in history: from the collapse of China's last imperial dynasty, to the rise of the Republic, the explosive growth of lucrative foreign trade and anti-foreign sentiment, to the inner workings of courtesan houses and the lives of the foreign "Shanghailanders" living in the International Settlement, both erased by World War II. $1.99 Originally: $11.99   PURCHASE FROM HC.COM AMAZON B&N IBOOKS GOOGLE KOBO INDIEBOUND

The Legs Are the Last to Go by Diahann Carroll It's conventional wisdom that Hollywood has no use for a woman over forty. So it's a good thing that Diahann Carroll—whose winning, sometimes controversial career breached racial barriers—is anything but conventional. Here she shares her life story with an admirable candidness of someone who has seen and done it all. With wisdom that only aging gracefully can bestow, she talks frankly about her four marriages as well as the other significant relationships in her life. Carroll's storied history, blunt views, and notorious wit will be sure to entertain and inform. $1.99 Originally: $9.99   PURCHASE FROM HC.COM AMAZON GOOGLE KOBO INDIEBOUND
