Got a vacation booked? We've got your reading list. We'll meet an author whose self published novel led to a 2 million dollar payday, learn why a BU economics professor thinks Americans should spend more and save less, and read about the rise and slow fall of a Massachusetts coastal city. Plus, remember the story of Misha DeFonseca, the woman who falsely claimed she survived the Holocaust by living with wolves? Although she's admitted the hoax, the story is still not over, and we'll tell you why.
