Laura Hillenbrand's beautifully rendered equine biography, Seabiscuit: An American Legend is back on the bestseller lists again. One of January Magazine's top picks of 2001, Hillenbrand's book tells the story of the legendary racehorse, Seabiscuit, who wasn't much to look at, but who set American racetracks ablaze. A lovely book that reminds us of why we all loved The Little Engine That Could when we were children: what could be more lovely than tales of triumph of the human spirit? Even if the "human" spirit in question belongs to a train. Or a horse.

Just in time for Mother's Day: Mary Higgins Clark, America's "queen of suspense," delivers her latest novel, The Second Time Around. And we bite: Higgins Clark's book debuts in the #7 position on the January bestseller list.

Debuting in the #15 position on this week's January list is Christian missionary Gracia Burnham's account of being kidnapped by terrorists in May of 2001. Burnham and her husband Martin were in the hands of Abu Sayyaf -- a Muslim extremist with ties to Osama Bin Laden -- for over a year. Though Gracia survived the rescue, Martin did not. Published by a Christian press, In the Presence of My Enemies is artless, touching and deserving of the wider audience it is receiving.
