What’s inside this Jeanine Cummins book collection

American Dirt — Lydia Pérez, a bookseller in Acapulco, faces an impossible choice when a single bullet shatters her family life. With her son Luca by her side, Lydia must flee north toward the border to survive a city under cartel control. This contemporary novel earned widespread attention as a #1 New York Times bestseller and explores themes of migration, family, and resilience.

The Crooked Branch — Majella’s life shifts after the birth of her daughter Emma when she uncovers a family diary revealing a dark secret. The narrative alternates between present-day Ireland and the harrowing tale of Ginny Doyle, who fled famine-era Ireland for America. This multi-generational story weaves historical detail with psychological suspense.

The Outside Boy — Set in 1959 Ireland, young Christopher “Christy” Hurley grows up as a tinker (Pavee gypsy) and carries the heavy weight of his mother’s death. When his family briefly settles so the children can attend school, Christy faces a changing world and the challenge of belonging. This novel is a sensitive portrait of class, tradition, and coming-of-age.

A Rip in Heaven — A true-crime memoir rooted in Jeanine Cummins’ own life. This account recounts the brutal 1991 assault on the author’s family members at the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge near St. Louis, and the long aftermath of trauma and survival. Raw, personal, and intensely human.
