“The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store,” by James McBride (Riverhead Books, 2023)

In this beautifully written novel, McBride explores how a sense of community and humanity can overcome differences, whether they be racial, religious or even physical. The “Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” is a neighborhood fixture and keystone, connecting the lives and fates of immigrant Jewish and African American neighbors in a small town in Pennsylvania. “Heaven and Earth” is the badly translated name given to the money-losing store by its owner and is also a metaphor representing the hopeful humanity of the owner. McBride notes that this story was inspired by the Jewish concept of “tikkun olam,” which roughly means the actions one takes to “repair” or improve the world. We could all benefit from some tikkun olam these days, I think. — 4 stars (out of 4); Kathleen Lance, Denver 

“The Removed,” by Brandon Hobson (Ecco, 2021)

A Cherokee family, the Echotas, is planning a memorial bonfire 15 years after the murder of Ray-Ray, their teenage son, by a police officer. The action is told by alternating narrators: His mother, his older sister, and his younger brother — each of whom has been deeply wounded by Ray-Ray’s death. Another influential character is a teenage foster son, Wyatt, who touches the family in mystical ways. Of the multiple narrators, I was most interested in Tsala, an ancestor from the 1830s, who relates the tale of the Cherokees’ forced deportation to Indian Territory via the Trail of Tears. As an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation, born in Oklahoma, I felt Tsala was speaking to me, this that I was the “beloved” he addressed. Tsala’s chapters weave connections between the voices of the other narrators in a manner I found reassuring. He provides historic context that deepens the novel. Some of the action is shrouded and confusing, as are the lives of the family members. But that’s all right, as Hobson has given me much to ponder. This is a novel that I suspect will persist in my memory. — 3 stars (out of 4); Neva Gronert, Parker

“Up Home: One Girl’s Journey,” by Ruth J. Simmons (Penguin Random House, 2023)

This remarkable memoir is about the author’s rise from poverty to become the first Black female president of Harvard. As the youngest of twelve children born to Texas sharecroppers, her circumstances were both difficult and challenging. Through her love of reading and the support and encouragement of her teachers, family, and friends, she relates how she built on every life experience, both positive and negative, to create “the life I was meant to lead, not the one I was born to.” This is a book of great understanding on how we live and thrive; very inspiring! — 4 stars (out of 4); Susan Tracy, Denver

“The Last Ranger,” by Peter Heller (Alfred A. Knopf, 2023)

A mystery by an award-winning, Denver-based author, set in Yellowstone National Park, brimming with vividly lush and lyrical writing about the wildlife and landscapes there. Heller’s writing has an immediacy to it, placing you right alongside the characters, sitting on the protagonist’s cabin porch, sipping coffee in the chilly autumn morning, watching the elk graze in the meadow below, and trying to decide which hidden spot to fish today. And the mystery has you guessing right up to the end. — 4 stars (out of 4); Kathleen Lance, Denver

Update 2 p.m.: U.S. 287 is closed in both directions between Ted’s Place, north of Fort Collins, and the Wyoming state line.

The highway is closed due to safety concerns, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The roadway is snowy with icy and snow-packed spots, according to the CDOT road report.

Black Friday travelers, beware: First responders around the Denver metro are reporting “extremely slick conditions” on roads, according to a tweet from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and a “sheet of ice” on roadways, according to South Metro Fire Rescue, which worked a nine-vehicle crash with no injuries on the off-ramp from westbound C470 to Broadway.

That ramp closed for several hours while first responders handled the wreck. The Colorado Department of Transportation reported the ramp reopened at 9:18 a.m.

SMFR is on scene of a 9 vehicle crash including a rollover on the off ramp from westbound C470 to Broadway. The good news – there are no injuries. The bad news – firefighters describe a “sheet of ice” on the roadways. If you must travel, please allow extra time and use caution.… pic.twitter.com/XCSkIhcK3G

“Remarkably Bright Creatures,” by Shelby van Pelt (Ecco, 2022)

Initially, “Remarkably Bright Creatures” made me think about the Oscar-winning movie “The Shape of Water,” because in both works a woman’s life is transformed by a mysterious amphibian whose tank she cleans. This similarity is only superficial, though. Here, Tova, a widow, develops a relationship with an aquarium-bound octopus named Marcellus. Other humans are drawn into their net of understanding and respect in a most satisfactory manner. Of course, the story is often fantastical, but the twisting tentacles of the tale charmed me. There are numerous characters to truly like, and no need for villains — life itself takes care of that role. Yet the occasional darkness doesn’t pervade, and light filters down. Van Pelt’s debut is accomplished and mature, not exhibiting the uncertainty so often in debuts. Well done. — 3 stars (out of 4); Neva Gronert, Parker

“The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder,” by David Grann (Doubleday, 2023)

Based on the true story of the HMS Wager that wrecked off the coast of Chile in 1741, this novel is packed with action, complex characters, mystery, disputed recollections and a multitude of facts about the lives of 18th-century mariners.  Who knew that the phrase “under the weather” stems from the practice of keeping sick crewmen below decks, sheltered from the harsh weather conditions “on deck,” for example? Grann finds the sweet spot in keeping all the pieces balanced and, in the end, you’re just rooting for everyone to survive.  I dare you to put it down. — 4 stars (out of 4); Kathleen Lance, Denver  

“Our Souls at Night,” by Kent Haruf (Vintage Reprint 2016)

Native son Haruf’s final masterpiece features a paean to older love in fictional Holt, Colorado. Both Addie and Louis lost their partners years before and finally work up the courage to offer one another the second chance they each deserve. Unexpected obstacles, their own histories as well as adult children, challenge them to find mutual fulfillment in their lives.

This was Haruf’s only book written at break-neck pace to complete an elegy for the finish of his own existence. 4 stars (out of 4); Bonnie McCune, Denver (bonniemccune.com)

“All the Sinners Bleed,” by S.A. Cosby (Flatiron Books, 2023)

A murder mystery set in a small town in southeastern Virginia, by an award-winning author of “Southern noir” fiction.  Complex, believable characters, warts and all.  This one left me hoping for a series based on the protagonist, Titus Crown.  — 3 1/2 stars (out of 4); Kathleen Lance, Denver

Douglas County SWAT team members and deputies searched the area of Fox Farm Road and Spruce Mountain Road in Larkspur on Friday afternoon and evening for Luis Fernando Certa-Regaldo, who escaped police custody at a Greeley hospital on Wednesday.

10:00 am update to 11/17/23 search for suspect in Larkspur area: Deputies and a citizen located the suspect hiding in a barn on private property in the Larkspur area.

— DC Sheriff (@dcsheriff) November 18, 2023

A shelter-in-place order was issued for the area during the search but was lifted after law enforcement could not find the man Friday night.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office reported Saturday on X that deputies and a citizen found Certa-Regaldo hiding in a barn on private property in the Larkspur area. Deputies took him into custody without incident.

Certa-Regaldo was arrested in Greeley on Wednesday on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, obstruction and attempting to influence law enforcement, according to Weld County officials.

He was being medically cleared at the North Colorado Medical Center when he escaped custody and fled on foot at 7:30 p.m.
