An exciting new venture between the beloved "Oprah of
Radio" and publisher St. Martin's Press, the national book club will
launch on January 8, 2013 to coincide with the paperback release of "Home
Front," and will feature an innovative multimedia format, including on-air
discussions on Delilah's nationally-syndicated evening radio program, extensive
online outreach and active engagement with fans and readers through a variety
of social media platforms.
Of her new book club, Delilah says "The sensation of
reading a great book, and being able to share it with friends, is one of those
great connections in life. I hear from
so many listeners with the names and stories of books they've discovered and
wanted to share. Starting our own book club in the New Year with 'Home Front'
by Kristin Hannah is the perfect story to share with my listeners for all kinds
of reasons."
Matthew Shear, executive vice-president and publisher at St.
Martin's Press, adds, "I was thrilled to hear that Delilah wanted to start
an on-air book club and even more excited when she chose Kristin Hannah's 'Home
Front' as her debut selection. Both Delilah and Kristin have such strong
connections to women, Delilah through her immense radio show and Kristin
through her very emotional stories. It seems to me they are a perfect
match."
"Home Front," the powerful story of a young family
dealing with the emotional fallout of military deployment, was a #1 New York
Times bestseller in hardcover and has been optioned for a feature film by 1492
Films, with Chris Columbus attached to direct.
