Martha Beck's Forthcoming Book Makes Amazon List
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- "Finding Your Own North Star," a forthcoming
book by Mormon author Martha Nibley Beck hit Amazon's 'Tomorrow's
Bestseller's' list ahead of the book's release later this month.
Beck's previous book, "Expecting Adam" received a lot of attention
for its criticism of the intellectual community for the suggestion
that she should have an abortion because her expected son, Adam, had
Downs Syndrome.
Other books on both the US National bestseller lists and on the LDS
list stayed in similar positions, except that the LDS audience seems
to have gone back to basic doctrine, buying "The Teachings of Gordon
B. Hinckley" and pushing it to the number 1 spot in place of Rachel
Nunes' "This Time Forever." Last week Nunes' book rocketed to the top
of the list on its release as her fans rushed to get copies. However,
the book is now nowhere to be seen on the list.
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose
A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US.
Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of
Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the
