When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his father's axe, determined to get his family the tree they can't afford, he takes the dog for company - but accidentally winds up lost in the wild forest.

From Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Lion, Franklin and Winston and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, Jon Meacham, comes Destiny and Power, a sweeping yet intimate biography of George H. W. Bush. Meacham has had the kind of charmed professional life that other journalists can only envy: Newsweek managing editor at 29; editor at 37; author of four books, the latest, American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, awarded the Pulitzer Prize last year in biography; currently executive editor and executive vice president at Random House. Destiny and Power reflects the qualities of both subject and biographer: judicious, balanced, deliberative, with a deep appreciation of history and the personalities who shape it. His kinder, gentler approach succeeds in making George H. W. Bush a more sympathetic - and more complex - figure than if the former president had written his own doorstopper.

In 1969, Dixie Dupree is eleven years old and already an expert liar. Only when Dixie desperately needs help and is met with disbelief does she realize how much damage her past lies have done. But she has courage and a spirit that may yet prevail, forcing secrets into the open and allowing her to forgive and become whole again. $25, 843.235.9600 or ClassAtPawleys.com. 6:30 PM - Western Movie Night at Waccamaw Library presents The Searchers (1956 PG) brings John Wayne to the screen as Ethan Edwards, who returns home to Texas after the Civil War.

The colorful, cigar-chomping, ticket-writing scourge of lowcountry fish-and-game-law violators discusses his treacherous and often hilarious job. With a lawman's eye for fine details, a conservationist's nose for the aroma of pluff mud, and a seasoned storyteller's ear for the rhythms of a good southern yarn, Moïse recounts his efforts to protect the lowcountry landscape. Moïse also speaks of evolving attitudes and changing regulations governing coastal conservation. In recognition of his achievements in law enforcement, he was presented the Guy Bradley Award by the North American Fish and Wildlife Foundation in 1990 and the Order of the Palmetto by South Carolina governor Carroll Campbell in 1994. He is a contributor to the Charleston Post and Courier, Charleston Mercury, Garden and Gun Magazine and author of Ramblings of a Lowcountry Game Warden. Casual attire, BYOB.
