The Operators
The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story
of America’s War in Afghanistan
Michael Hastings
An explosive, behind-the-scenes look into
the workings of the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
Hastings lifts the curtain of the world stage
to reveal the devastating greed, waste, and
failure surrounding this unwinnable war.
In June 2010, Michael Hastings published an article in Rolling Stone that made headlines
around the world: In “The Runaway General,” he reported on a week he spent in Europe
with General Stanley McChrystal, the revered soldier in charge of the war in Afghanistan.
McChrystal and his staff ’s unguarded remarks about the White House, our allies and the
conduct of the war led President Obama to order McChrystal to the Oval Office, where
he was fired unceremoniously. While Hastings’ reporting won him a prestigious Polk
award and led to two Pentagon investigations, there is much more to his story than the
indiscretions of Stanley McChrystal. In The Operators, Hastings, formerly the Baghdad
bureau chief for Newsweek, takes the reader behind the diplomatic façades, to the latenight bull sessions of senior military advisors, to the bars of exotic hotels where highpriced hookers and spies troll to paint a picture of nation-building gone awry. Hastings
also takes us on patrol missions in Afghanistan, where he is embedded with American
troops, and witnesses firsthand the madness, horror, and existential contradictions of
Afghanistan. The Operators combines the acute reportage of a Sebastian Junger with the
mad energy of a Michael Herr—it is the painful, powerful tale of a war that can never
and will never be won.
✦ “The Runaway General,” the Rolling Stone article that prompted the firing of General
McChrystal and changed the course of the war in Afghanistan, was viewed as a
journalistic coup and made Hastings an international journalistic star.
✦ The war in Afghanistan is now the longest in American history. With the planned
U.S. withdrawal scheduled to start 2012, the issues raised by The Operators will be a
focal point of the presidential campaign and Hastings will be an in-demand guest.

Gay Men Don’t Get Fat
Simon Doonan
Forget everything you’ve learned from French
women—the secrets to looking and feeling
fabulous are here in this wickedly funny book
by bestselling author, style icon, and Barneys
New York creative ambassador, Simon Doonan.
Simon Doonan knows that when it comes to style, the gays are the chosen people.
A second anthropological truth comes to him midway through half a turkey burger
with no bun at an otherwise hetero barbecue: Do the straight people have any idea
how many calories are in the guacamole? In this hilarious discourse and guide to the
well-lived life, Doonan goes far beyond the secrets to eating like the French—he proves
that gay men really are French women, from their delight in fashion to their brilliant
choices in accessories and decor to their awe-inspiring ability to limit calorie intake. A
Gucci-wearing Margaret Mead at heart, Doonan offers delightful insights about what
makes gay men driven to live every day feeling their best, and reveals that they have
just as much—and possibly better—advice and inspiration beyond the same old diet
and exercise tips.
So, put down that bag of Pirate’s Booty and pick up this fierce and fabulous book.
From slimming jaunts through Capri in the evening to a Weight Watchers meeting in
downtown Manhattan to an intrepid “Bear” hunt (if you have to ask, you have to read
this book and find out for yourself), Gay Men Don’t Get Fat is the ultimate approach to
a glamorous lifestyle—and you are guaranteed to laugh away the pounds!
✦ French Women Don’t Get Fat was a surprise New York Times bestseller and has
sparked many similar books—but until now no one has thought of this hilarious
and sharp send-up.
✦ In addition to stints on Iron Chef America and America’s Next Top Model,
Model, Doonan
has appeared everywhere in the media to promote his previous books, including
NPR, CBS Sunday Morning,
Morning, and a slew of fashion and entertainment magazines. He
also has the support of Barneys New York and Slate.com, where he contributes a
biweekly column.
✦ The buzz surrounding our acquisition announcement has been tremendous—
anticipation is high, and we will publish the book quickly to take advantage of
the enthusiasm.

The Lion Is In
A Novel
Delia Ephron
Three women on the lam from their lives and relationships
hit the road, only to have their spirits rescued by unexpected
love—and a retired circus lion. Famed Hollywood
screenwriter and novelist Delia Ephron delivers a funny,
poignant, and memorable Thelma & Louise for our time.
Three women on the run take refuge in a roadside nightclub and come face-to-face
with a lion. One’s a runaway bride and kleptomaniac, one’s a recovering alcoholic, and
one’s a minister’s wife who’s been made to believe she has no imagination. Oh yeah, and
the lion, Marcel, is a retired circus performer. Waitressing in the club, the women come
to feel right at home as they navigate the back roads of the human heart. When their
pasts catch up with them, they have to decide if they’re willing to fight for the strange,
charmed life they’ve made with Marcel. Told with Ephron’s signature witty dialogue
and lovable characters, The Lion Is In is a truly unforgettable story about friendship,
love, and learning how to salsa with the king of the jungle.
✦ Ephron is associated with some of the finest romantic comedies of our generation
(Sleepless in Seattle,
Seattle, You’ve Got Mail).
Mail).
✦ Delia Ephron and her sister Nora have enjoyed recent media exposure thanks to
their co-written and produced Love, Loss, and What I Wore
Wore,, which has been playing
off-Broadway (and around the country) for almost two years. The rotating cast has
included Rosie O’Donnell, Fran Drescher, Jane Lynch, and Kristin Chenoweth.
✦ A delightful read that’s perfect as a Mother’s Day gift or a beach read.
| Clayton surprises Tracee and Rita when they are investigating the kitchen, hunting for
something more substantial than a bar snack. “Hands up,” he says. Tracee screams, which makes
him laugh. “What are you doing here?” he asks.
“Who are you?” says Rita.
“I own the place. That’s my refrigerator you’re snooping in.”
“Our car broke down. We needed shelter,” says Rita. “I hope you don’t mind.”
By way of an answer, Clayton blows his nose. He fights an endless battle with allergies, which
are much worse in spring and the beginning of summer. His pale blue eyes water.
He’s in the neighborhood of fifty, although he could be a lot older and he could be younger.
Hard to tell because he lost interest in maintenance years ago. His appearance suggests that he
fell out of bed and dressed in the dark in his usual, sweatpants and a sweatshirt. His gray hair,
unkempt, sticks up in points. He frequently runs his hands through it backwards and forwards.
He needs a shave.
The fact that he’s a slob relaxes Tracee. She couldn’t articulate that, doesn’t exactly know why
he doesn’t seem like a threat—someone who might care about who she is and why she’s here—
but the reason is that he’s too much of a mess.

The Watchers
A Novel
Jon Steele
A suspenseful, entirely original thriller about a
series of murders that may be the handiwork of
a gang of international killers—or fallen angels.
Think The Hunchback of Notre Dame meets
The Silence of the Lambs, as told to Justin Cronin.
Meet Marc Rochat, a man-child who has devoted his life to being the bell ringer at
the Gothic Lausanne Cathedral, one of the great architectural structures in the world.
Eerie things have been going on in and around his church, including tremblings in the
underground crypt and a variety of gruesomely murdered bodies showing up in nearby
streets. Across the square from the cathedral lives Katherine Taylor, a beautiful young
American woman who is making phenomenal money as one of the highest-priced call
girls in Switzerland; she’s a bit too introspective for her own good, and, unfortunately,
much too observant of her clients’ peccadilloes. Their lives collide with Jay Harper,
a British private eye who has been sent to investigate the killings and other strange
doings; alas, he has no memory of who hired him or precisely why he was chosen for the
job. And now all the clues are pointing skyward, where fallen angels are said to haunt
Lausanne.
✦ The first in a thrilling new series that incorporates many addictive qualities of
recent bestsellers we’re calling a “mystical noir-thriller.”
✦ Steele’s background as a seasoned war journalist shines through in the gritty,
haunting, and beautifully written battle scenes. His sense of place is also very
strong; the environment has the force of character.
✦ Angels. Supernatural murders. Page-turning action. A perfect bestseller formula.
EXCERPT | Harper sat in the dirt, staring at the burning candle in his hands. Almost trembling
with excitement before reminding himself it was only the phantom of a dead man. Or maybe
it was something else. The earth under these stones was sacred to our kind, Gabriel had said.
Didn’t know why, couldn’t know why. Been sent to this place two and a half million years ago.
Lost all contact with the creator. As if the creator himself had disappeared, and they were truly
a pack of lost angels. Hiding in the forms of men for so long that all memory of where they had
come from and what they were was gone. And the only knowledge they had of themselves was
from the legends and myths and religions of men.

The Leaderless
Revolution
How Ordinary People Will Take Power
and Change Politics in the 21st Century
Carne Ross
A provocative, sophisticated book about the
mechanics of social change on the world stage.
The Leaderless Revolution is a call to action for you, for me—everyone. It is
an extraordinarily bold book that argues that rather than relying on failing
political and economic systems to effect change, individual citizens must
promulgate change themselves. The message of this book applies not only
to the down-trodden in the developing world (including those countries
embracing the Arab Spring) but also to those in industrialized nations like
the United States.
P r a i s e f o r Ca r n e r o ss
“So bold, so full of incontestable truths and overwhelming
convictions, that it should be read by every diplomat, politician,
and thinking citizen with the courage to pick it up.”
—John le Carré
“Carne Ross takes up where Naomi Klein, Noreena Hertz
and others left off. This is an impassioned, idealistic
critique of the state of global politics and the deepening
rift between those with power and those without.”
—The Guardian
✦ Following the Arab Spring, this book comes at a time when there is a lot of
interest in mass participation and the remaking of power systems.
✦ Given the economic downturn and diminished place of the United States
in the international stage, Americans must start looking to other agents of
change.

Swimming Studies
Leanne Shapton
In her collection of illustrated autobiographical
stories, author and artist Leanne Shapton explores
the competitive pressures and introspective
depths of swimming, as a sport and a pastime.
Swimming Studies is a brilliantly original, meditative memoir that oscillates
between the worlds of competitive and recreational swimming. From training
for the Olympic trials as a teenager to sampling and enjoying pools and
beaches across the world as an adult, Shapton offers a fascinating glimpse
into the private realms of swimming. Writing as a contender rather than a
champion, she tells an intimate story of suburban adolescence, family ties,
and the solitary underwater moments that now ground her artistic discipline.
In the tradition of bestselling books on running—What I Talk About When I
Talk About Running and Once a Runner—Shapton’s emphasis is on the smaller
moments of athletic pursuit over the single-minded goal of winning. A sui
generis collection of written and visual sketches, Swimming Studies is bound
to delight athletes and amateurs alike.
P r a i s e f o r LE A NNE S H A P TON
“Leanne Shapton succeeds against all odds
with this wildly romantic and erudite book.”
—Dave Eggers on Important Artifacts
✦ Shapton’s most recent book Important Artifacts and Personal Property from
the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris has been optioned for a
film slated to star Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman.
✦ Shapton is well respected and admired in the design world. She has

The Empty Glass
A Novel
J. I. Baker
Weaving together true historical events with
infamous conspiracy theories, The Empty Glass
is a riveting, paranoiac thriller narrated by
the young coroner who is among the first
on scene at Marilyn Monroe’s bungalow
when the actress is reported dead.
In the early-morning hours of August 5, 1962, Los Angeles County Deputy
Coroner Ben Fitzgerald arrives at the home of the world’s most famous movie
star, now lying naked on her bed, still clutching a telephone. There he discovers
The Book of Secrets—Marilyn’s diary—revealing a doomed love affair with a
man she refers to only as “The General.” In the following days, Ben unravels
a wide-ranging cover-up in the aftermath of the star’s “suicide” and some
heartbreaking truths about the fragile, luminous woman behind the celebrity.
Soon the sinister and surreal accounts in The Book of Secrets bleed into Ben’s
own life, and he finds himself, like Monroe, trapped in a deepening conspiracy.
The Empty Glass is an unforgettable combination of the real-life facts and
legendary theories that have dogged Monroe, the Kennedys, the Mafia, and
even the CIA for decades—and an exciting debut from a remarkable new
thriller writer to watch.

✦ The 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death will be August 2012—a
slew of new books will no doubt raise questions of what happened to her
that night in 1962, though The Empty Glass has all the fictional freedom to
offer some shocking answers.
✦ The Mad Men–era
Men–era cast of characters from this book continues to fascinate
the American public. Maureen Dowd recently made Monroe the topic of an
op-ed; the Kennedys loom large in the collective consciousness, and the
extraordinary connections made between them and the movie star in The
Empty Glass are too provocative to ignore.

A Famous Daughter, Her No-Nonsense Mother, and How They
Survived Pageants, Hollywood, Love, Loss (and Each Other)
Vanessa Williams and Helen Williams with Irene Zutell
The highly anticipated first book
by a widely respected entertainer
When Vanessa Williams was growing up, she had a plan: She’d go to college and major
in musical theater; afterward she’d get her MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and then
she would embark on a successful career on Broadway. And to make sure she stayed on
that path, her mother, Helen Williams, gave her a list of things that she should never—
ever—do. Near the top of that list was “never ever pose nude for anyone.” So when
Vanessa became the first African-American woman to win the title of Miss America
in September 1983 (an accomplishment that she never planned for or desired), only
to be forced to resign ten months later due to a nude photo scandal, the lives of both
Vanessa and Helen took an unexpected turn. But Vanessa survived this setback, and
many others to come, to enjoy a thirty-plus-year career as an award-winning singer and
actress. Vanessa has been asked to write her memoir many times, but only now—with
the help of her mother—is she ready to tell her story.
Vanessa grew up in Millwood, New York, part of one of the town’s only black
families. As a teenager, Vanessa defied Helen, flirting with boys, drinking, and smoking
pot. But despite their early conflicts, Helen has always ardently protected her daughter,
staying in contact with the FBI about the multiple death threats Vanessa received after
being crowned and being there for her during the dissolution of her two marriages.
Now the mother of four children, Vanessa describes how she’s made it through the
ups and downs of her life as well as her career. Jointly written by Vanessa and Helen
and filled with dozens of personal family photos and mementos, You Have No Idea is
an empowering celebration of the love between a mother and daughter and the life of a

girl walks into a bar . . .
Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle
Rachel Dratch
In this side-splitting memoir, the former Saturday
Night Live star recounts the hilarious adventures and
unexpected joy of dating and becoming a mother
when she least expected it—at the age of forty-four.
Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows
Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part
as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as “Lesbians.
Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians.”
Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning
Spanish—and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New
York have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was
out for drinks with a friend when she met John.
Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became
the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child, and moved to
New York to be a dad. With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her
bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care
class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.
Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch’s time on SNL, Girl
Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version of the “happily ever after” story that proves
female comics—like bestsellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler—are truly having their
moment.
✦ Dratch spent seven seasons on Saturday Night Live and is best known for characters
like Debbie Downer and Boston Teens Sully and Denise (with costar Jimmy Fallon),
as well as a wicked Calista Flockhart impersonation.

| I didn’t know the first thing about what a baby needs or what items
were necessary to make my life infinitely easier, but I had to create a registry. So
I brought in the experts: my gay friends David and Russell. Maybe because they
felt lucky to have won the adoption lottery, or maybe because they actually had
to pass the test of being “worthy” of being good parents (unlike the rest of us),
but whatever the case, they had done more research and more preparation before
they became fathers than any other new parents I knew.
At the insistence of David, we did not meet at the Babies R Us right near my
apartment, but rather on the Upper West Side at a store called Giggle. This is highend, gay-worthy baby stuff we are talking. I had just seen the documentary Babies,
which features the lives of happy babies in Africa and Mongolia, so absolutely all
of the store items were looking particularly unnecessary right now to me anyway,
and I just wanted to register for some sticks, a few goats, and a swarm of flies to
create a truly happy and adorable child.

WHAT WOULD
MICHELLE DO?
A Modern-Day Guide to Living
with Substance and Style
Allison Samuels
Illustrations by Meg Hess
Inspiring insights, advice, and style
for every woman who admires the
popular and poised First Lady
Embodying style, class, and intelligence, Michelle Obama has quickly become
an American icon. Rising from modest beginnings, she went on to earn an Ivy
League education, a position at a top law firm, and a pivotal role beside the
leader of the free world. Yet Michelle still faces the same issues as most women
today. As they watch her juggle kids, marriage, and a seemingly nonstop
calendar without breaking a sweat, American women are asking, What Would
Michelle Do?
Award-winning Newsweek journalist Allison Samuels, who has interviewed
the First Lady numerous times, follows the trajectory of Michelle’s life to
illustrate the determination, intellect, and charm that drove her success—and
reveals how women can incorporate those same attributes to get everything
Michelle has, from her arms to her grace to her marriage.
With the 2012 elections looming, Michelle continues to be in the public’s
eye. Covering a range of lifestyle topics—from creating a distinctive style
to conquering obstacles to handling finances—What Would Michelle Do?
combines solid advice with a fun package that will appeal to style mavens,
soccer moms, and career women alike.

On January 31, 2011, Zach Wahls addressed the Iowa House of Representatives
in a public forum regarding civil unions. The nineteen-year-old son of a samesex couple, Wahls proudly proclaimed, “The sexual orientation of my parents
has had zero effect on the content of my character.” Hours later, his speech
was posted on YouTube, where it went viral, quickly receiving more than two
million views. By the end of the week, everyone knew his name and wanted to
hear more from the boy with two moms.
Same-sex marriage will be a major—possibly the defining—issue in next
year’s election cycle, and Wahls speaks to that, but also to a broader issue.
Sure, he’s handsome and athletic, an environmental engineering student, and
an Eagle Scout. Yet, growing up with two moms, he knows what it’s like to feel
different and to fear being made fun of or worse. In the inspirational spirit of It
Gets Better edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller, My Two Moms also delivers
a reassuring message to same-sex couples, their kids, and anyone who’s ever
felt like an outsider: “You are not alone.”

A golden voice
How Faith, Hard Work, and Humility
Brought Me from the Streets to Salvation
Ted Williams with Bret Witter
An incredible memoir of addiction, homelessness,
and unlikely redemption, cowritten by #1
New York Times bestselling author Bret Witter
Ted Williams was panhandling in December 2010 when a passerby taped him and
posted a clip of his gorgeous radio voice on YouTube. The video went viral, and
overnight, launched him—the homeless man with a golden voice—into the hearts of
millions.
Since then, millions have heard pieces of his story: his successful radio career,
his crack addiction, his multiple arrests, and his heartbreaking relationship with his
ninety-year-old mother. But in A Golden Voice, Ted Williams finally puts all the pieces
together to give an unforgettable, searingly honest account of life on the streets. Nothing
is held back, as Williams takes the reader through prostitution, theft, crack houses,
and homeless shelters in a search, ultimately, for redemption and hope. Along the way,
we see his relationship with his long-term girlfriend, Kathy, grow into an unlikely and
inspiring love story, and we hear the Golden Voice of God lead Ted from the selfishness
of crime to the humility of the street corner—almost a year before he was “discovered”
on that highway entrance ramp.
But this memoir isn’t just an exploration of wrongs and a once-in-a-lifetime chance
to give homelessness a voice. It is a deeply American, from-the-heart comeback story
about the power of hope, faith, and personal responsibility. With the innate charisma
that has won him millions of fans, Ted Williams proves that no one, no matter how
degraded, is too lost for a second chance.
| I don’t want to do this book for selfish reasons. I’ve been selfish most of my life, and
that’s what put me on the street. I want to write this book for the right reasons: to give an honest
accounting of my life and to show the world that no matter how far down you are, you can’t give
up. You can’t lose the faith. God is there. Redemption is possible. And if you work for it, not just
desire it but really work for it, you will get your chance.
I’ve hurt a lot of people: my wife, my children, my ninety-year-old mother. It’s hard to watch the
video of my mother telling a reporter, “He destroyed his family,” but she’s right. It’s even harder
to hear her say, “I prayed and prayed, but I guess my prayers weren’t strong enough, because I
never got through to him.” I let her down. My lies and addictions over the years tore her to bits,
and my failures were a shadow over her otherwise beautiful life. When I saw her for the first time
after being rescued from the street, she was scared. I could see that right away. She’d been hurt
too many times. All she could do was put her head down, then whisper, as if hoping the dozens
of television microphones wouldn’t hear, “Please don’t disappoint me. Please don’t disappoint
me, son.”
I know this book, by revealing some of the low-down things I’ve done, will hurt my mother
even more. It will shame my wife and kids. It will leave every reader shaking their head. But as
it has been written in everything from the Bible to Narcotics Anonymous, you have to give an
honest accounting before you can be saved. You have to admit to your sins, all of them, with an
open and remorseful heart, before you can be set free…

the good food revolution
Growing Healthy Food, People, and Communities
Will Allen with Charles Wilson
Foreword by Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
A pioneering urban farmer and MacArthur “Genius
Award” winner points the way to building a new food
system that can feed—and heal—broken communities.
The son of a sharecropper, Will Allen had no intention of ever becoming a farmer
himself. But after years in professional basketball and as an executive for Kentucky
Fried Chicken and Procter & Gamble, Allen cashed in his retirement fund for a twoacre plot a half mile away from Milwaukee’s largest public housing project. The area
was a food desert with only convenience stores and fast-food restaurants to serve the
needs of local residents.
In the face of financial challenges and daunting odds, Allen built the country’s
preeminent urban farm—a food and educational center that now produces enough
vegetables and fish year-round to feed thousands of people. Employing young people
from the neighboring housing project and community, Growing Power has sought to
prove that local food systems can help troubled youths, dismantle racism, create jobs,
bring urban and rural communities closer together, and improve public health. Today,
Allen’s organization helps develop community food systems across the country.
An eco-classic in the making, The Good Food Revolution is the story of Will’s
personal journey, the lives he has touched, and a grassroots movement that is changing
the way our nation eats.
✦ Will Allen has been named one of Time
Time’s
’s “100 People Who Most Affect Our World”
and Ebony’
Ebony’ss “Power 100,” and has received a grant from the Ford Foundation as well
as a 2008 John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award.”
✦ He is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative and joined First Lady Michelle
Obama in launching Let’s Move!, a program working to reverse the epidemic of
childhood obesity.
✦ He has been featured in The New York Times Magazine
Magazine;; Bon Appétit;
Appétit; O, The Oprah
Magazine;; and Ebony and on CNN, ABC, NBC, PBS, and NPR.

✦ He is a popular speaker, regularly addressing groups at conferences and universities

The nation’s economy is in trouble, but there’s one cash crop that has the
potential to turn it around: cannabis (also known as marijuana and hemp).
According to Time, the legal medicinal cannabis economy already generates
$200 million annually in taxable proceeds from a mere two hundred thousand
registered medical users in just fourteen states.
But, thanks to Nixon and the War on Drugs, cannabis is still synonymous
with heroin on the federal level even though it has won mainstream acceptance
nationwide.
ABC News reports that underground cannabis’s $35.8 billion annual
revenues already exceed the combined value of corn ($23.3 billion) and
wheat ($7.5 billion). Considering the economic impact of Prohibition—and
its repeal—Too High to Fail isn’t a commune-dweller’s utopian rant, it’s an
objectively (if humorously) reported account of how one plant can drastically
change the shape of our country, culturally, politically, and economically. Too High to Fail covers everything from a brief history of hemp to an
insider’s perspective on a growing season in Mendocino County, where
cannabis drives 80 percent of the economy (to the tune of $6 billion annually).
Investigative journalist Doug Fine follows one plant from seed to patient in
the first American county to fully legalize and regulate cannabis farming.
He profiles an issue of critical importance to lawmakers, media pundits,
and ordinary Americans—whether or not they inhale. It’s a wild ride that
includes swooping helicopters, college tuitions paid with cash, cannabisfriendly sheriffs, and never-before-gained access to the world of the emerging
legitimate, taxpaying “ganjaprenneur.”

Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to Another
Tia Mowry
From the bloating to the belching to the Baby Story
marathons that might just drive you crazy, prime-time
star and new mom Tia Mowry delivers the lowdown
in a frank, hilarious guide to modern pregnancy.
Tia Mowry’s 760,000+ Twitter followers know that she tells it like it is. Now, in a
pregnancy guide like no other, Tia leaves no topic off-limits while helping expectant
moms stay empowered, pampered, and laughing out loud. From sex during the third
trimester to pimped-out strollers, Oh, Baby! reveals what to really expect on that ninemonth road to the delivery room.
Sharing her personal experience with cravings (she couldn’t have done it without
sourdough bread and Funyuns); maternity clothes (Tia prefers black, with sequins);
panty liners (memorize that aisle at the drugstore); vagina exercises (just say No!);
and hiding your bump from your coworkers (tricky for Tia, since her character on The
Game is in lingerie half the time), the maternity maven also discusses Ask the OB Q&A’s
she posed to her own ob-gyn, along with dozens of tried-and-true tips for combating
morning sickness, fear, and everything else that might overshadow a radiant glow.
From the time she started showing to the moment she welcomed her new baby
boy, Cree Taylor, into the world, Tia was in the spotlight, from Access Hollywood to every
glossy magazine and countless online sites. Yet she stayed down-to-earth throughout it
all. Keeping it real, Oh, Baby! helps every mommy-to-be stay stylish, maintain her dignity,
and trust her gut (no matter how big it gets).

The Lucky Ones
My Passionate Fight on Behalf of Farmed Animals
Jenny Brown with Gretchen Primack
Temple Grandin meets Michael Pollan in a poignant,
provocative memoir of survival, compassion, and
awakening to the reality of our food system.
Jenny Brown was just ten years old when she lost a leg to bone cancer. Throughout
the ordeal, her constant companion was a cat named Boogie. Years later, she would
make the connection between her feline friend and the farm animals she ate,
acknowledging that most of America’s domesticated animals live on industrialized
farms, and are viewed as mere production units. Raised in a conservative Southern
Baptist family in Kentucky, Brown had been taught to avoid asking questions. But she
found her calling and the courage to speak out. She left a flourishing career as a film
and television producer after going undercover and exposing horrific animal abuse in
Texas stockyards.
Bringing to life this exhilarating transformation, The Lucky Ones introduces
readers to Brown’s crowning achievement, the renowned Woodstock Farm Animal
Sanctuary she established with her husband in 2004. With a cast of unforgettable
survivors, including a fugitive slaughterhouse calf named Herbie; Albie, the threelegged goat; and Quincy, an Easter duckling found abandoned in New York City, The
Lucky Ones reveals shocking statistics about the prevalence of animal abuse throughout
America’s agribusinesses. Blending wry humor with unflinching honesty, Brown brings
a compelling new voice to the healthy-living movement—and to the vulnerable,
voiceless creatures among us.
“Jenny Brown has always had a soft spot for animals.
But when she met an abused goat named Albie, she felt an
especially strong connection . . . As cofounder of the Woodstock
Farm Animal Sanctuary, in upstate New York, Jenny Brown has
taken in dozens of wounded animals over the years.”

EXCERPT | There are many “firsts” when running a sanctuary. The first time I treated
a chicken for an impacted crop, say, or the first time I watched a pig castration
happen right in our barn (by a vet and under anesthesia, of course). By the time
Dylan came to us, I had cared for plenty of full-grown farm animals. Trimming pig
hooves, treating and wrapping infected turkey feet, handling medical charts and
hay bales and parasite treatments—these were all in a day’s filthy, happy work. But
now there was someone brand-new, literally, at our sanctuary: a frightened little
calf all of five days old, a sweet lil Holstein boy with spindly legs, huge brown eyes,
and a tongue that could wrap itself around your whole hand with one lick.
Dylan, who we’d named after the musical god himself—we were in Woodstock,
after all—had spent the first four of those five days tied to a tree on a small dairy
farm in Troy, New York. Newborn calves like Dylan are taken from their mothers
quickly, usually within one to three days. The farmer makes his money per gallon of
milk, so allowing the calves to drink it (never mind that it was intended for them!)
is a waste of profits. Instead, they give the calves a cheap powdered milk product
that’s laden with antibiotics to keep them from getting sick from stress. The girls
are moved to another facility away from the mothers who they will eventually
replace in the herd, and the males are sold off very young for meat, usually to veal
farmers. Dylan was unwillingly waiting for just such a farmer as he stood tied to
that tree. He was lucky, though. A caring couple saw him there, managed to strike a
deal with the farmer, and took him home. But the next day, already overwhelmed,
they called our fledgling sanctuary and asked if we could take him in. . . .
Jenny Brown is the cofounder and
director of the Woodstock Farm Animal
Sanctuary—a not-for-profit organization
and farm animal shelter—a vegan animal
rights activist, and previously worked as a
television producer until 2002.

Garbology
Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash
Edward Humes
A Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist
takes readers on a surprising tour
of the world of garbage.
Trash is America’s largest export. Individually, we make more than four
pounds a day, sixty-four tons across a lifetime. We make so much of it that
trash dominates America’s place in the global economy—now the most prized
product made in the United States. In 2010, China’s number-one export to the
U.S. was computer equipment. America’s two biggest exports were paper waste
and scrap metal. Somehow, a country that once built things for the rest of the
world has transformed itself into China’s trash compactor.
In Garbology, Edward Humes reveals what this world of trash looks like,
how we got here, and what some families, communities, and other countries
are doing to find a way back from a world of waste. Highlights include:
• Los Angeles’s sixty-story garbage mountain, so big and bizarrely prominent
that it has spawned its own climate, habitat, and tour business.
• The waste trackers of MIT, whose “smart trash” has exposed the secret life
and dirty death of what we throw away.
• China’s garbage queen, Zhang Yin, who started collecting scrap paper
in the 1990s and turned it into a multibillion-dollar business exporting
American trash to make Chinese products to sell back to Americans.
• Artisan Bea Johnson, whose family has found that generating less waste
has translated into more money, less debt, and more leisure time.
As Wal-Mart aims for zero-waste strategies and household recycling has
become second nature, interest in trash has clearly reached new heights. From
the quirky to the astounding, Garbology weighs in with remarkable true tales
from the front lines of the war on waste.
“Humes’s in-depth reporting (reveals) . . .
the new face of American environmentalism.”

A Novel

Alexandra Cooper into the fascinating world
of New York City’s most beloved and storied
restaurants—and into the dark underside of the

lurked just beneath the surface of the bustling metropolis for centuries, only to come
screaming to light in the present day.

the moral molecule
The Source of Love and Prosperity
Paul J. Zak
An astonishing, game-changing account of
experiments from the lab to the jungle that reveal
for the first time why we are both good and evil.
In The Moral Molecule Professor Paul Zak proves that a single molecule accounts for
why some people give freely of themselves and others are coldhearted, why some
people cheat and steal and others you can trust with your life, why some husbands are
more faithful than others, and why women tend to be more generous—not to mention
nicer—than men. Oxytocin is that molecule. Sometimes called the love or “cuddle”
hormone because it causes mothers to care for offspring, this chemical messenger is,
Zak discovered, the key to moral behavior—not just in intimate relationships but in
business dealings, in politics, in society at large.
From the bucolic English countryside to the highlands of Papua New Guinea,
from labs in Switzerland to his campus in Southern California, Zak recounts his
extraordinary stories and sets out, for the first time, his revolutionary theory of moral
behavior. And as any engineer will tell you, understanding the basic mechanism is
the first step toward improving a system’s output: In this case, the implications are
stunning—we are better than most people believe.
Accessible, amusing, and electrifying, The Moral Molecule is nothing less than the
origins of our most human qualities—empathy, happiness, the kindness of strangers—
revealed. With Gladwell’s brevity and Pinker’s resonance, The Moral Molecule will take
readers on a wild, eye-opening ride.
✦ Paul J. Zak is one of the founders of neuroeconomics and runs the first dedicated
neuroeconomics lab in the world, the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at
Claremont.
✦ Zak averages six to eight media appearances a month. He has appeared on Good

I’ll stand by you
Changing the World One Child at a Time
Elissa Montanti with Jennifer Haupt
Fourteen years ago, Elissa Montanti was a lab technician in Staten Island. She
had, in the span of only a few years, lost her beloved mother, grandmother, and
high school sweetheart. Hoping to find a way past her own troubles and the
depression and panic attacks that quietly crippled her, she decided to raise
money for school supplies for the children of war-torn Bosnia. But at a meeting
with the UN ambassador she learned that those children didn’t need pencils.
He showed her a photo of a boy who had lost both arms and one leg to a land
mine; these children needed a lot more.
Elissa went to Bosnia, brought the boy and his mother back to Staten
Island, and arranged for free prosthetics and medical care. The Global Medical
Relief Fund was born.
Working from the walk-in closet in her home, Elissa has since brought
more than 150 children injured in war zones—Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,
and elsewhere—to the United States, where, with the help of the Shriners
Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia and a network of doctors, nurses, and
community leaders, they receive free housing and ongoing care.
In I’ll Stand by You, Elissa tells the stories of these children and the soldiers,
doctors, and ordinary Americans who have come to their aid; the resistance
she has faced for helping non-Americans; and the heartwarming tale of how in
helping these children, she healed herself.

a calm brain
Unlocking Your Natural Relaxation System
Gayatri Devi, M.D.
Real-life success springs from a state of
calm. A brilliant neurologist reveals a new
paradigm of brain function that is the key to
tranquility in the midst of our daily crises.
Stress: The more success we have in life, the worse it seems to get. Necks and
shoulders tighten. Sleep becomes elusive. Relaxation—even lying on the
beach—feels impossible. But Dr. Gayatri Devi has uncovered the answer: Calm
the body, and the mind follows. In this fascinating and vital book, she helps
readers unruffle both.
Forget about the old left-and right-brain paradigm—life success occurs
when our rational “top” and older, more connected “bottom” brains are
working together. Calm, a sense of internal composure enabling us to function
at the peak of our abilities, comes from the bottom (brain) up. It is the ideal
mental state, fully allied with the body, allowing us to harness cognitive powers
while maintaining a perfect balance of emotions. When you’re calm, you’re in
your zone, unperturbed by distractions or distress.
In a warm, accessible voice, Dr. Devi elucidates the neuroscience of calm
and shares stories from her practice on New York’s Upper East Side, such as
how a woman plagued with migraines managed to wean herself from pain
medicine. More personally, she recalls how her grandfather was the mellow eye
of the storm in a riotous household of Indian women. Chapters on the workday,
sleep, men versus women, and parenting provide practical applications. The
best news of all? You don’t need more drugs.

hard country
A Novel
Michael McGarrity
Michael McGarrity has crafted a richly
authentic epic adventure of rough-hewn
men and courageous women set in the hard
country of the frontier American Southwest.
A tale of love and loss, survival and sacrifice, lawlessness and virtue, Hard Country is
a rare and extraordinary story of one family’s struggle to settle and endure in the vast,
untamed territory of New Mexico.
In the wake of the death of his wife as she gives birth to his son, and the killing of
his brother on the West Texas plains, John Kerney is forced to give up his ranch, leave
his son behind, and strike out in search of the murdering outlaws and a place where he
can start over. He drifts south, hiring on as a hand until he meets a man who offers him
work trailing cattle to the New Mexico Territory and forever changes his life.
Spanning the years 1875 to 1918, Hard Country is as much about the expansion of
a nation as it is about the search for love, lost family, and new beginnings in the harsh,
sun-scorched, sandblasted beauty of gypsum white sands, black lava badlands, and
towering mountain ranges. It is an epic that infuses the tradition of the great Western
novel with historically accurate settings and intelligently drawn characters. Packed
with an honest portrayal of the people and events that set into motion range wars,
Indian raids, cattle rustling, rough justice, long-standing feuds, murder, and the final
closing of the frontier, Hard Country resonates with a hard-bitten, atmospheric reality.
It is the Western reinvented and enlarged into a historic family saga that above all
celebrates the people and the land of the great Southwest.

he faced. Maybe Ida was touched in the head, and maybe she wasn’t. Either way, if he gave her
most of all the money from the sale of the ranches, perhaps she could make the best of a bad
situation until he could come for Patrick.
He finished his whiskey and decided he could do no less. He could scrape along, but a woman
with a baby needed more than a few dollars to survive. He’d stay and see them safely off on the
supply train to Dodge City, take what money remained in his pocket, and drift south to find
work.
Soon, ranchers would be gathering their herds for the fall works, so it was likely he could hire
on somewhere, although the job probably wouldn’t turn into anything permanent.
John Kerney picked up the three yards of cloth Ida needed for Patrick’s diapers and stepped
outside into the blazing hot afternoon. In a matter of days, he’d lost almost everything and
everyone dear to him. He couldn’t help wondering if in the end he might lose his son, too.

the last trade
A Novel
James Conway
James Conway has written the corporate
thriller for our age, an age when the power
of new media and the hunger of Wall Street
converge to form a deadly entity capable of
bringing the global economy to its knees.
Drew Havens made a killing for the Rising Fund, which, thanks to his prognostications,
was the only hedge operation to anticipate and capitalize on the mortgage crisis of
2008. For Havens, it’s always been about the numbers. He sees things others can’t, from
the collapse of the American real estate market to the multibillion-dollar rise of his
ruthless and charismatic boss.
Havens is now rich beyond his dreams, but his work at the Rising Fund has cost
him his marriage. And now it may cost him his life. It starts with the brutal murder of
his young protégé and, over the course of six explosive days, six other brokers around
the world, each killed after executing a trade linked to the Rising Fund.
As the violence escalates from South Africa to São Paulo, Hong Kong to Berlin,
Havens frantically tries to construct a model that will reveal the catastrophic event
that only he can see coming—and confirm that his boss and the Rising Fund are at the
center of it. The Last Trade is a relentlessly entertaining, adrenaline-fueled thriller about
the forces that shape our culture–and a lone man desperate to achieve redemption—
while averting a global economic catastrophe.
P r a i s e f o r T he L ast T rade
“The Last Trade is an instant classic of the genre,
a thriller you open on the runway and don’t put

“The Last Trade is an intricately woven thriller of our time
laced with the menacing effects of uncontrolled globalization,
tumultuous financial markets, and destabilized technology
simultaneously gone awry with harrowing consequences.”

the sacrifice game
A Novel
Brian D’Amato
In this mind-bending, stunningly inventive,
and brilliantly researched sequel to In the
Courts of the Sun, one man holds the key to
saving the world from the coming apocalypse
. . . or ensuring its complete destruction.
In Brian D’Amato’s first novel, In the Courts of the Sun, a team of scientists sent math
prodigy and Mayan descendant Jed DeLanda back in time to the year AD 664 to learn
how the ancient Maya played a powerful divination game to predict the apocalypse in
2012. But after arriving in the body of a willing human sacrifice instead of a Mayan king,
Jed’s experiences led him to the fateful decision that rather than avert the apocalypse,
he must ensure instead that the world ends.
Using his knowledge of the divination game, Jed sets in motion a series of events
that will bring about the destruction of humanity, ending the world’s pain and suffering
once and for all. But before the plan can be completed, the organization that sent him
into the past discovers his intention and devotes every resource to stop him.
Taking readers back to the dizzying action of ancient times, The Sacrifice Game is a
breathtaking odyssey in which Jed must survive bloody wars, ruthless leaders, shifting
alliances, and unspeakable betrayal to learn about the Game, before his time in both
the ancient Mayan empire and the present day runs out.
P r a i s e f o r I n the C ourts of the S un

ransom river
A Novel
Meg Gardiner
A stunningly complex and atmospheric
novel from Edgar Award–winning author
Meg Gardiner, featuring a deeply flawed,
compelling heroine, a murder trial, and
the long-unsolved mystery it exposes
Rory Mackenzie is juror number seven on a high-profile murder case in her
hometown of Ransom River, California. It’s a place she vowed never to visit
again, after leaving behind its surfeit of regret and misfortune and the specter
of a troubled past that threatened to disturb the town’s peaceful façade.
Brilliant yet guarded, Rory has always felt like an outsider. She retreated
into herself when both her career aspirations and her love affair with a
childhood friend, undercover cop Seth Colder, were destroyed in a tragic
accident.
While most of the town is focused on the tense and shocking circumstances
of the trial, Rory’s return to Ransom River dredges up troubling memories from
her childhood that she can no longer ignore. But in the wake of a desperate
attack on the courthouse, Rory realizes that exposing these dark skeletons has
connected her to an old case that was never solved, and bringing the truth to
light just might destroy her.
Departing from her popular series novels, Meg Gardiner has gone
deeper than ever into the utterly convincing lives and compelling pasts of her
characters. Ransom River is an intimate crime thriller with a dark mystery at
its heart—one that will keep readers breathless until the very last page.

east of denver
A Novel
Gregory Hill
Mixing pathos and humor in equal measure,
East of Denver is an unflinching novel of rural
America, a poignant, darkly funny tale about
a father and son finding their way together
as their livelihood inexorably disappears.
“I was driving from Denver to the farm with a dead cat in the back seat of my
car.”
When Stacey “Shakespeare” Williams arrives at his family’s farm in eastern
Colorado, he finds more than just a cat that needs burying. His widowed and
senile father, Emmett, is living in squalor, and Unabelle, the elderly neighbor
who’d been caring for him, lies dead behind the locked bathroom door—
between Emmett’s senility and Shakespeare’s anosmia, neither man detected
the smell.
With no job and no prospects, Shakespeare suddenly finds himself
caretaker to both his dad and the farm. They have no money, the land is
fallow, and a local banker has cheated his father out of the majority of the
farm equipment as well as his beloved Cessna. Shakespeare falls in with an
unlikely clique of former classmates: Vaughn Atkins, a paraplegic confined
to his mother’s basement; Carissa McPhail, an overweight bank teller who
pitches for the local softball team; and longtime bully D. J. Beckman, who now
deals drugs in small-town Dorsey. Facing the loss of the farm, Shakespeare
hatches a half-serious plot with Emmett and his fellow misfits to rob the very
bank that has stolen their future.
East of Denver is a remarkably assured, sharply observed, and utterly
memorable debut.

kill decision
A Novel
Daniel Suarez
The shocking techno-thriller that cements Daniel
Suarez’s status as the heir to Michael Crichton
and Tom Clancy—a terrifying, breathtaking, and
all-too-plausible vision of the world’s near future.
Unmanned weaponized drones already exist—they’re widely used by America in our
war efforts in the Middle East. In Kill Decision, bestselling author Daniel Suarez takes
that fact and the real science behind it one step further, with frightening results.
Linda McKinney is a myrmecologist, a scientist who studies the social structure of
ants. Her academic career has left her entirely unprepared for the day her sophisticated
research is conscripted by unknown forces to help run an unmanned—and thanks
to her research, automated—drone army. Odin is the secretive Special Ops soldier
with a unique insight into the faceless enemy who has begun to attack the American
homeland with drones programmed to seek, identify, and execute targets without
human intervention.
Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world
to recognize its destructive power, because for thousands of years the “kill decision”
during battle has remained in the hands of humans—and off-loading that responsibility
to machines will bring unintended, possibly irreversible, consequences. But as forces
even McKinney and Odin don’t understand begin to gather, and death rains down from
above, it may already be too late to save humankind from destruction at the hands of
our own technology.

A Novel
Kelley Armstrong
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley
Armstrong delivers the novel her fans have been
clamoring for: The epic finale of the Otherworld series.
It’s been more than ten years, a dozen installments, and hundreds of thousands of
copies since Kelley Armstrong introduced readers to the all-too-real denizens of the
Otherworld: witches, werewolves, necromancers, vampires, and half-demons, among
others. And it’s all been leading to Thirteen, the final installment, the novel that brings
all of these stories to a stunning conclusion.
A war is brewing—the first battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is
left standing, albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half brother from
supernatural medical testing, but he’s fighting to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation
Movement took him hostage, and they have a maniacal plan to expose the supernatural
world to the unknowing.
Savannah has called upon her inner energy to summon spells with frightening
strength, a strength she never knew she had, as she fights to keep her world from
shattering. But it’s more than a matter of supernaturals against one another—both
heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds, genetically modified werewolves,
and all forces of good and evil have joined the fray.
Uniting Savannah with Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-notforgotten characters in one epic battle, Thirteen is a grand, crowd-pleasing closer for
Armstrong’s legions of fans.

turn around bright eyes
A Karaoke Journey Into the Mysteries of Music, Love, and the Universe
Rob Sheffield
Rolling Stone journalist and New York Times
bestselling author Rob Sheffield delivers the
long-awaited sequel to Love Is a Mix Tape.
In 2007, music and pop culture journalist Rob Sheffield burst onto the bestseller
list with Love Is a Mix Tape, a much-beloved debut memoir about the courtship,
marriage, and sudden loss of his first wife, Renee, and the music they shared. “It’s a
memoir that manages—no small feat—to be funny and beautifully forlorn at the same
time,” declared The New York Times. “Humorous, heartbreaking, and heroic,” raved
Entertainment Weekly. In the prequel, Talking to Girls About Duran Duran, Rob stumbles
into adulthood with a killer soundtrack, inept flirtations, dumb crushes, deplorable
fashion choices, and girls—always girls.
Turn Around Bright Eyes now uses karaoke as the lens to show how Rob Sheffield
found the courage to finally embrace happiness again. To Rob, the courage to sing before
a room full of strangers is a lot like the courage it takes to fall in love. This poignant,
funny memoir shows how karaoke can be a great escape from sadness and a chance to
try on different personas—but also a great way to create lasting bonds through the act
of singing together.
Using a night of karaoke as the framework for the story of how Rob and his second
wife, Ally, slowly come together, we see that the rituals of a karaoke outing are similar to
the rituals of dating, and how karaoke offers adults a way to embrace their inner music
lover in the time when wearing band T-shirts and going to concerts can be a thing of
the past.
Turn Around Bright Eyes, like Love Is a Mix Tape, is a love story at heart, but a far
more grown-up one this time around.
P r a i s e f o r TA L K I N G TO G I R L S A B O U T D U R A N D U R A N

through will resonate with anyone who ever took solace
in the radio when no one else seemed to understand.”

A Novel
Stephen White
New York Times bestselling author Stephen White
returns with a gripping thriller about the one
devastating secret that could cost Alan Gregory
everything—the first of the dramatic two-part
conclusion to his acclaimed bestselling series.
Alan Gregory is finally beginning to feel settled, hopeful that a long period of upheaval
in his private life is behind him. He refocuses his energy on his clinical psychology
practice, where a beguiling new patient is challenging his values. The interlude of calm
doesn’t last, of course: Alan’s dear friend Diane is showing signs of a long-simmering
emotional collapse, and Alan’s greatest fear—the exposure of his most dangerous
secret—has become something he can’t ignore.
A new witness has surfaced, causing authorities to reopen their investigation
into the suicide death of a woman named J. Winter Brown. When Alan and his equally
culpable friend Sam Purdy inadvertently disclose details of their involvement in her
death to a desperate drug dealer, any confidence they felt about riding out the new
investigation evaporates. The trail that leads back to Alan and Sam, once cold, has
turned white-hot.
With his vulnerability mounting daily, Alan begins to fear that his mesmerizing
new patient may be the catalyst that can cause everything he treasures—his marriage,
family, friendship, and future—to implode. As the authorities close in, the story hurtles
toward a conclusion that will set the stage for the most unexpected of outcomes: the
final act of the Alan Gregory saga.

down the drain, Kincaid’s partner is furious and lets Olivia know that she’s ticked off
the wrong guy. After all, he’s FBI.
Olivia isn’t intimidated by his partner’s bullying because she’s something even
scarier . . . she’s IRS.
And working for the IRS isn’t for the faint of heart. She’s on the trail of an elaborate
Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naive and unsuspecting victims,
and one she has personal reasons to be angry about. But after she asks questions of
the wrong people, her life is suddenly endangered. She’s accustomed to fighting for the
underdog but being vulnerable herself is a very different story. Smart enough to know
when to call for reinforcements, she contacts Grayson Kincaid.
Together they make an excellent team to fight corruption but Olivia is also fighting
the immediate and intense attraction she feels for Agent Kincaid, and that may be a
battle she is bound to lose.

the lost prince
A Novel
Selden Edwards
The author of the beloved New York Times bestselling
novel The Little Book returns with a sequel about a love
that is capable of bridging unfathomable distances.
Recently returned from the experience of a lifetime in fin de siècle Vienna, where she
met and tragically lost the first great love of her life, Eleanor Burden has no choice but
to settle into her expected place in society, marry the man she is supposed to marry,
and wait for life to come to her. As the twentieth century approaches, hers is a story not
unlike that of the other young women she grew up with in 1890s Boston—a privileged
upbringing punctuated by a period of youthful adventure and followed by the inevitable
acknowledgment of real life—except for one small difference: Eleanor possesses an
unshakable belief that she has advance knowledge of every major historical event to
come during her lifetime.
But soon the script of events she has written in her mind—a script described by
no less than Sigmund Freud as the invented delusions of a hysteric—begins to unravel.
Eleanor Burden, at once fragile and powerful, must find the courage of her deepest
convictions, discover the difference between predetermination and free will, secure
her belief in her own sanity, and decide whether she will allow history to unfold come
what may—or use her extraordinary gifts to bend history to her will and deliver for her
the life she knows she is meant to have.
P r a i s e f o r S e l d e n e dwa r ds a n d T he L ittle B ook
“Back to the Future for the intellectual set.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“There’s nothing small about Selden Edwards’s debut novel,
The Little Book—not its scale, ambitions, or backstory.”
—USA Today
“A soaring thing of joy whose only purpose—and I
mean this as a compliment—is to delight and entertain.”
