A Mother’s Reckoning
Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy
Sue Klebold
Publicist: Annsley Rosner | 212-782-9740 | [email protected]
Publicist: Carisa Hays | 212-782-9277 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine
High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they
would kill 12 students and a teacher and wound 24 others before taking
their own lives.
For the last 16 years, Sue Klebold, Dylan’s mother, has lived with the indescribable grief
and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising young man she had loved
and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known
something was wrong? Were there subtle signs she had missed? What, if anything, could
she have done differently?
These are questions that Klebold has grappled with every day since the Columbine
tragedy. In A Mother’s Reckoning, she chronicles with unflinching honesty her journey as a
mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible. In the hope that the insights
and understanding she has gained may help other families recognize when a child is in
distress, she tells her story in full, drawing upon her personal journals, the videos and
writings that Dylan left behind, and on countless interviews with mental health experts.
Filled with hard-won wisdom and compassion, A Mother’s Reckoning is a powerful and
haunting book that sheds light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. And with
fresh wounds from the recent Newtown and Charleston shootings, never has the need for
understanding been more urgent.
Author profits from the book will be donated to research and to charitable foundations
focusing on mental health issues.

Evicted
Poverty and Profit in the American City
Matthew Desmond
Publicist: Penny Simon | 865-675-1705 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
From Harvard sociologist Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of
scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at
poverty in America.
In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest
neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of six families on the edge. Arleen is a single
mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their
squalid apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse, clawing his way out of addiction. Lamar, a man
with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to paint his way out of
debt. All are spending most of their income on rent, and all have fallen behind.
Their fate is largely in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former
schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur and Tobin Charney, who takes home
$500,000 a year from the worst trailer park in the fourth-poorest city in the country.
Sherrena and Tobin have bills to pay, too, and their patience is running out. In this clash of
competing needs, a solution emerges that will upend lives: eviction.
Based on six years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, Evicted
offers a new window into extreme poverty, economic exploitation, and human resilience.
Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home—without
which nothing else is possible.

Publicist: Sarah Breivogel | 212-572-2722 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
The breathlessly paced, thrilling new novel from Chris Pavone, the New
York Times bestselling author of The Expats and The Accident.
Will Rhodes has made a terrible mistake. A woman has appeared at the door of his
Argentine hotel room, a woman who isn’t his wife and who, until this moment, has been
a harmless flirtation—but this flirtation has a gun and an offer he can’t refuse. Will is a
travel writer for Travelers magazine. He finally has his own column at a magazine with a real
readership—though he’s wondered why he sometimes has to deliver bulky sealed packages
to consulates all over the world, or why he occasionally has to use a fake name. Now those
shadowy errands and white lies have come back to haunt him: Will’s job is not everything
he thought it was. From the lush fields of Western Europe’s wine country to the mountains
of South America, and nestled deep in New York’s most elite circles, a dangerous web
has been spun with Will Rhodes at its center. And he’s in the dark. But once the truth is
revealed to him, he needs to act fast—his life may depend on it. Immediately suspenseful
and feverishly paced, The Travelers is the electrifying new novel that showcases Chris
Pavone at his very best.

A Fine Imitation
A Novel
Amber Brock
Publicist: Lauren Kuhn | 212-782-8637 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
Set in the 1920s, this intoxicating debut sweeps readers into a Manhattan
socialite’s restless life and the affair with a mysterious painter that upends
her world, flashing back to her years at Vassar and a socially ruinous
friendship.
Vera Bellington has beauty, pedigree, and a penthouse at the most coveted address on
Park Avenue. But behind the sparkling social whirl, she is living a life of quiet desperation.
Her days are full of empty, champagne-soaked socializing, while her nights are silent and
cold, spent waiting alone for a husband who seldom comes home. Then Emil Hallan arrives
to paint a mural above the building’s pool. The handsome French artist shrouds his work
in secrecy and piques Vera’s curiosity. Is he the man he claims to be? Even as she finds
herself increasingly drawn to Hallan, Vera can’t suppress her suspicions. After all, she
has plenty of secrets, too—and some of them involve art forgers like her talented former
friend Bea, who years ago, at Vassar, brought Vera to the brink of catastrophe and social
exile. When the dangerous mysteries of Emil’s past are revealed, Vera faces an impossible
choice—whether to cling to her familiar world of privilege and propriety or to risk her
future with the enigmatic man who has taken her heart. A Fine Imitation explores what
happens when we realize that the life we’ve always led is not the life we want to have.

Dodgers
A Novel
Bill Beverly
Publicist: Lauren Kuhn | 212-782-8637
[email protected]
SUMMARY
A dark, literary, debut crime novel that is
also a powerful coming-of-age narrative
unlike anything else in fiction.
Dodgers is the story of a young man named East who
works for an LA drug gang, sent by his uncle along with
some other teenage boys—including East’s hotheaded
younger brother—to kill a witness connected to a
major case, who is hiding out in Wisconsin. The
journey takes East out of a city he’s never left and
into an America that is entirely alien to him, and over
the course of his journey the book brings in elements
from a diverse array of genres, ranging from crime
fiction to road narrative to coming-of-age novel.
Written in stark and unforgettable prose and featuring
an array of surprising and memorable characters
rendered with empathy and wit, Dodgers heralds the
arrival of a major new voice in American fiction.
PRAISE FOR DODGERS
“Not only is the fast-paced and masterfully plotted
Dodgers one of the greatest literary crime novels
you will read in your lifetime, Bill Beverley has also
created, in the teenage boy, East, one of the most
unforgettable and heartbreaking characters ever
encountered in American fiction.”
—Donald Ray Pollock, author of Knockemstiff
& The Devil All the Time
“In Dodgers, Bill Beverly delivers with honesty
and empathy as he takes us into the hope-killing
shadow of LA’s street-level drug kingdom. His
prose is a perfect match for young East’s lifealtering journey; spare, clear-eyed and with the
cutting edge of flint. Beverly leads us into the heart
of a young man molded by circumstance and, much
as Richard Price’s The Whites, gives a view that
will change the way you look at the world.”
—Susan Crandall, national bestselling
author of Whistling Past the Graveyard

History - Native American
A stunning historical account of the
manhunt for Geronimo and the 25-year
Apache struggle for their homeland.
They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping started
the longest war in American history. A mixed-blood
warrior who moved uneasily between the worlds of
the Apaches and the American soldiers, he was never
trusted by either but desperately needed by both.
A fellow scout described him simply as “half-Irish,
half-Mexican, and all son-of-a-bitch.” And he played a
pivotal role from the war’s beginning in 1861 to its end
in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout Apache
Kid.
This is Mickey Free’s story, but also the story of
his contemporaries: great Apache leaders, soldiers,
scouts and frontiersmen, the fierce warrior Geronimo,
and the Apache Kid. These lives shaped the violent
history of the southwestern borderlands—a bleak and
unforgiving world where the one-eyed, deeply scarred
Mickey Free was at home.

will look like.
To deal with her dizzying grief, Blanca returns to her mother’s former home in Cadaqués

The second title in the Hogarth Shakespeare
series, retelling The Merchant of Venice for
modern readers.
Howard Jacobson brings his insight to one of
Shakespeare’s most provocative characters: Shylock.
Juxtaposed against his present-day counterpart
Simon Strulovitch, Shylock’s keen sense of irony
delves into questions of identity, family, and antiSemitism. Strulovitch struggles to reconcile himself
to his daughter’s betrayals of her family and heritage
when she becomes involved with a footballer
infamous for giving the Nazi salute, while Shylock
remains brokenhearted over his daughter Jessica’s
rejection of her Jewish roots. Culminating in a clever
twist on Shylock’s demand for a pound of flesh,
Jacobson examines contemporary questions of
Jewish identity with singular acumen and intelligence.
Shylock Is My Name makes new Shakespeare’s classic
comedy and allows Shylock to tell his side of the story
as never before.

A spellbinding, unforgettable portrait of one

life-altering choice.
Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband
lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, bloodsoaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye
decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat.
In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed,
Yeong-hye’s decision to embrace a more “plant-like”
existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her
passive rebellion manifests in ever-more extreme and
frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement
begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the
spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis
of both mind and body, her now-dangerous endeavor
will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically,
tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.

And After Many Days
A Novel
Jowhor Ile
SUMMARY
An unforgettable debut novel about a boy who goes missing, a family that
is torn apart, and a nation on the brink.
During the rainy season of 1995, in the bustling town of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, one family’s
life is disrupted by the sudden disappearance of 17-year-old Paul Utu, beloved brother and
son. As they grapple with the sudden loss of their darling boy, they embark on a painful
and moving journey of immense power which changes their lives forever and shatters the
fragile ecosystem of their once-ordered family. Ajie, the youngest sibling, is burdened with
the guilt of having seen Paul last and convinced that his vanished brother was betrayed
long ago. But his search for the truth uncovers hidden family secrets and reawakens old,
long forgotten ghosts as rumors of police brutality, oil shortages, and frenzied student
protests serve as a backdrop to his pursuit.
In a tale that moves seamlessly back and forth through time, Ajie relives a trip to the
family’s ancestral village where, together, he and his family listen to the myths of how their
people settled there, while the villagers argue over the mysterious Company, who found
oil on their land and will do anything to guarantee support. As the story builds toward
its stunning conclusion, it becomes clear that only once past and present come to a
crossroads will Ajie and his family finally find the answers they have been searching for.
And After Many Days introduces Ile’s spellbinding ability to tightly weave together
personal and political loss until, inevitably, the two threads become nearly
indistinguishable. It is a masterful story of childhood, of the delicate, complex balance
between the powerful and the powerless, and a searing portrait of a community as the old
order gives way to the new.

Robbie Robertson
Publicist: Ellen Folan | 212-782-8944 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
A spellbinding memoir from one of rock’s greatest storytellers.
Robbie Robertson is one of the most beloved songwriters and guitarists of all time,
penning some of the most distinctively American songs—music that seems soaked in the
mythology and traditions of the Old South.
Robertson weaves together tales of his half-Jewish, half-Mohawk-Indian upbringing
with his rollicking early years with rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins; he recalls the slow
formation of the Band as each future member joined Hawkins’s backing band, their trialby-fire supporting of Bob Dylan on his 1966 world tour, and the cloistered sessions at
the legendary Big Pink house that produced The Basement Tapes and forged the group’s
unique sound.
This is the story of a time and place—the moment when rock ’n’ roll crawled out of the
swamps and became life. It’s the story of change, as America tumbled through the ’60s.
And it’s the story of the profound friendship between five men who created a new kind of
music that still fascinates us.
AUTHOR BIO
ROBBIE ROBERTSON was the guitarist and principal songwriter in the Band. He has
produced many movie soundtracks for Martin Scorsese and others, and continues to
record as a solo artist. His most recent record, How to Become Clairvoyant, came out
in 2011.

Party of One
A Memoir in 20 Songs
Dave Holmes
Publicist: Rebecca Marsh | 212-572-2544 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
From comic, writer, and former MTV VJ Dave Holmes, the hilarious
coming-of-age memoir of a perpetual outsider fumbling his way toward
self-acceptance, with ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s music as his soundtrack.
Dave Holmes has spent his life on the periphery, wanting just one thing: to get inside.
Growing up, he was the artsy kid in the sporty family. At his Catholic high school, he was
the closeted gay kid surrounded by crush-worthy guys. And in his twenties, in the middle
of a disastrous advertising career, he accidentally became an MTV VJ overnight when
he finished second, naturally, in the Wanna Be a VJ contest, opening the door to fame,
fortune, and celebrity—well, almost.
Whether as the music geek working at a station less focused on “M” or “V” than on “T
& A,” or later as the overweight guy trying to take on LA, he never stopped trying to fit
in. And if he never quite succeeded, at least he got some good stories out of it. In Party
of One, Dave tells the hilariously painful and painfully hilarious tales—reminiscent of Rob
Sheffield and Andy Cohen—of a misfit who finally learns to accept himself, and of the great
music he listened to along the way.
AUTHOR BIO
DAVE HOLMES is an Esquire contributor, former Vulture writer, UCB and Second City
comedian, and one of NPR’s 10 Favorite Pop Culture Personalities. Since MTV, he has
hosted shows on CBS, Bravo, Comedy Central, E!, and Ovation, as well as the International
Waters podcast. He has also appeared on many television clip shows and podcasts such as

in Redbook magazine, which resulted in appearances
on Good Morning America and NPR. Since then,

In Where the Light Gets In, Kim shares the full

experience, to accepting the woman her mom has
become, Kim’s book is a heartrending and inspiring
reminder of the unbreakable relationships we have
with our moms.

Stop Dieting Backward to Gain a Sharper Brain,
Smarter Gut, and Spontaneous Weight Loss
Kulreet Chaudhary, MD, Integrative Neurologist
with Eve Adamson
Publicist: Lauren Cook | 212-782-9486 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary teaches readers how to
prime their bodies as well as heal their minds and guts so that weight loss
is spontaneous.
Dr. Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she
gave her brain patients—shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows
readers that weight gain is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If
your body is not prepared for weight loss, you will fight a biochemical uphill battle, and
the odds of succeeding are slim. Once you reduce the toxic load and bolster your natural
detoxification systems, the body’s own fat-loss and weight-maintenance systems kick in.
After priming the body (without giving up anything you love) and making a few additions to
your diet, you’ll be able to shed the weight and transform your health.

Wellth
How I Learned to Build a Life, Not a Résumé
Jason Wachob, Founder of MindBodyGreen
Publicist: Lauren Cook | 212-782-9486 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
Much like 4-Hour Workweek and Lean In redefined a successful work life
and Thrive gave us a new metric for measuring a successful life, Wellth
steps off from these great shoulders to show readers how to let go of
material success as we’ve known it and cultivate a sense of abundance in
all areas of life.
Life balance, health, and well-being are the new definition of success for mindful
millennials: wellth is the new measure and metric. The original English word for wealth
was welthe, which combined “well” and “health.” This book and its movement will provide
a road map for returning to the original meaning. In thematic essays, MindBodyGreen
founder, Jason Wachob, tells his own story of how a heavy-drinking frat boy, who made his
first million on Wall Street, awakened to his own quest for healing and spiritual connection.
A debilitating injury led him to yoga, heartbreak allowed him to find the love of his life,
and entrepreneurial failure led him to finally create a business that spoke to his heart as
well as his head. Jason’s lessons alternate between moving narratives and lighthearted
short takes, to new tips, interviews, and stories from popular contributors, many of them
bestselling authors: such as psychologist Sue Johnson and integrative doctor Lissa Rankin;
ultramarathoner Rich Roll; and yoga phenoms Kathryn Budig and Tara Stiles.
AUTHOR BIO
As founder and CEO of MindBodyGreen, JASON WACHOB’s goal is to inspire people around
the world to live their healthiest lives by making informed choices about how we treat our
minds, bodies, and environment. After being told that he required back surgery, Jason
opted for yoga and is now completely healed. Jason has been featured in the New York
Times and Vogue Australia, and has a BA in history from Columbia University, where he
played varsity basketball for four years.

The Sleep Revolution
Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time
Arianna Huffington
SUMMARY
In her new book, Arianna Huffington, the president and editor in
chief of the Huffington Post and the author of the #1 New York Times
bestseller Thrive, tackles the importance of sleep in our lives—why so
many of us are sleep deprived, the sobering impact of sleep deprivation
on performance and long-term success, and how each of us can take
control of our lives and live more fully and be more engaged by being
more rested and able to tackle the inevitable challenges we face.
In her New York Times bestseller Thrive, Arianna Huffington introduced her readers to
the importance of sleep in terms of redefining success through wisdom, wonder, wellbeing, and giving. But the topic seemed to touch such a powerful chord and seemed to
resonate so universally in today’s 24/7 fast-paced, always-connected world that Arianna
realized a full book on the critical importance of sleep to our health and lives, and on
the long-term danger of sleep deprivation on performance and happiness, was needed.
In her new book, Arianna reveals all the ways that our inability to get enough sleep
impacts our lives; undermines our decision-making; compromises our health, our
athletic performance, our work lives, our relationships, and even our sex lives; and
causes us to lose control over how we interact with others and engage with the world.
She discusses the latest science on sleep, explores the importance of dreaming, tackles
how technology changes our sleep cycles, and explores ways to achieve better and
more restorative sleep. She looks at sleep aids and the role of the sleep industry in
compromising our efforts to get a full night’s sleep. She also offers specific tips and
strategies to take control of our sleep lives and learn how to make the power of sleep
work for us in rejuvenating our brain cells, in regulating our weight, in improving our
concentration, and in strengthening our memory skills.

Five Days at Memorial
Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital
Sheri Fink
SUMMARY
The National Book Critics Circle winner for nonfiction now available in
paperback: Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink’s landmark investigation of
patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina—
and her suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice.
In the tradition of the best investigative journalism, physician and reporter Sheri Fink
reconstructs five days at Memorial Medical Center and draws the reader into the lives of
those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amid chaos.
After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed,
exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later,
several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected
numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths.
Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unravels the mystery of
what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and
into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing.
In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden
dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are in America for the
impact of large-scale disasters—and how we can do better. A remarkable book, engrossing
from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms one’s understanding of
human nature in crisis.
AUTHOR BIO
SHERI FINK’s reporting has won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Magazine Award, and the
Overseas Press Club Lowell Thomas Award, among other journalism prizes. Most recently,
her coverage of Hurricanes Sandy and Isaac received the Berger Award from Columbia
University and the Beat Reporting award from the Association of Health Care Journalists.
Fink, a former relief worker in disaster and conflict zones, received her M.D. and Ph.D.
from Stanford University.

Dead Wake
The Last Crossing of the Lusitania
Erik Larson
SUMMARY
The “enthralling,” “terrifying,” “altogether riveting” #1 New York Times
bestseller from our modern master of narrative nonfiction,
now in paperback.
On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner sailed out of New
York, bound for Liverpool. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North
Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “greyhounds”—the
fastest liner then in service—and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous
faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that had kept civilian ships safe from
attack. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game. As Walther
Schwieger’s Unterseeboot-20 and Turner’s Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool,
an array of forces both grand and achingly small—hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded
secret, and more—all converged to produce an epic tragedy.
Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters,
from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate
Pope, and captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate
details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.

SUMMARY
Filled with warmth and adventure, this New York Times bestselling novel
is for book lovers and anyone who believes in the power of stories in
people’s lives.
Monsieur Perdu is a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore on the Seine, he
prescribes novels as medicine for the hardships of life, using his intuitive feel for the exact
book a reader needs. The only person he can’t seem to heal through literature is himself;
he’s still haunted by heartbreak after his great love, Manon, disappeared. She left him with
only a letter, which he has never opened.
After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he departs with his book-barge to the
south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and find the end of the story. Joined
by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu travels down the
country’s rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can
take the human soul on a journey to heal itself.

Armada
A Novel
Ernest Cline
SUMMARY
A cinematic, inventive, heartwarming, and completely nerdtastic
adventure from the bestselling author of Ready Player One. The New York
Times bestseller now available in paperback.
Zack Lightman has spent his life dreaming. Dreaming that the real world could be more
like the countless science-fiction books, movies, and video games he’s spent his life
consuming. Dreaming that one day, some fantastic event will shatter the monotony of his
humdrum existence and whisk him off on some space-faring adventure.
And then he sees the flying saucer.
No, Zack hasn’t lost his mind. As impossible as it seems, what he’s seeing is all too real.
And his skills—as well as those of millions of gamers across the world—are going to be
needed to save the earth from what’s about to befall it.
It’s Zack’s chance, at last, to play the hero. But even through the terror and exhilaration,
he can’t help thinking back to all those science-fiction stories he grew up with, and
wondering: Doesn’t something about this scenario seem a little…familiar?
At once embracing and subverting science-fiction conventions as only Ernest Cline
could, Armada is a rollicking, surprising thriller, a classic coming-of-age adventure, and an
alien-invasion tale like nothing you’ve ever read before.
AUTHOR BIO
ERNEST CLINE is an author, a screenwriter, a spoken-word artist, and a full-time geek. He
lives in Austin, Texas, with his daughter, a time-traveling DeLorean, and a large collection

Spinster
Making a Life of One’s Own
Kate Bolick
SUMMARY
“Whom to marry, and when will it happen—these two questions define
every woman’s existence.”
So begins Spinster, a revelatory and slyly erudite look at the pleasures and possibilities of
remaining single. Using her own experiences as a starting point, Kate Bolick invites us into
her carefully considered, passionately lived life, weaving together the past and present to
examine why she—along with more than 100 million American women, whose ranks keep
growing—remains unmarried.
Spinster introduces a cast of pioneering women from the last century whose genius,
tenacity, and flair for drama have emboldened Bolick to fashion her life on her own terms,
including poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and novelist Edith Wharton. By animating their
unconventional ideas and choices, Bolick shows us that contemporary debates about
settling down, and having it all, are timeless.

space for their dreams.” —New York Times Book Review
“Bolick weaves memoir, feminist theory, and biographies of
five forgone writers into a riveting, essential text. Bolick’s voice
crackles with wit, sharp criticism, and breathtaking metaphors
as she makes an enticing case for spinsterhood.”

I Take You
A Novel

SUMMARY
Brilliantly executed, hilarious, and driven by the irrepressible voice of its
unforgettable heroine, this page-turning debut showcases one of the most
engaging commercial voices since Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones.
Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer, and bride-to-be. She has a dream job, great friends,
a family full of charismatic and loving women, and a hot fiancé: Will, a brilliant, handsome
archaeologist. She’s smart, sassy, impulsive and fearless--but kind of a mess. Her issue?
She loves men. A lot. Six days before her wedding, in her hometown of Key West, Lily’s
nights of booze, laughter, and questionable decisions are an in-her-face reminder
that she needs to sit down and ask herself: Will walking down the aisle really make me
happy? Joyous, wickedly clever, and endlessly funny, I Take You introduces a self-assured
protagonist whose choices raise fresh questions about gender politics, monogamy, and
the true meaning of fidelity.
AUTHOR BIO

The Book of Joan
Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation
Melissa Rivers
Publicist: Rebecca Marsh | 212-572-2544 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
Now in paperback, The Book of Joan, the New York Times bestseller, is a
hilarious and an inspiring tribute to the iconic comedian Joan Rivers by the
person who knew her best—her daughter, Melissa.
Joan Rivers was known all over the world—from the Palace Theater to Buckingham Palace,
from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the footlights of Broadway, from the days of talkies to
hosting talk shows. But there was only one person who knew Joan intimately, one person
who the authorities would call when she got a little out of hand. Her daughter and best
friend, Melissa.
Joan and Melissa had one of the most celebrated mother-daughter relationships of
all time. In The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation, Melissa shares
stories (like when she was nine months old and her parents delivered her to Johnny
Carson as a birthday gift), bons mots (“Missy, is there anything better than seeing a really
good-looking couple pushing a baby that looks like a Sasquatch who got caught in a house
fire?”), and life lessons from growing up in the Rosenberg-Rivers household (“I can do
tips and discounts and figure out the number of gay men in an audience to make it a good
show. That’s all the math you’ll ever need.”). These were just the tip of the iceberg when it
came to life in the family that Melissa describes as more Addams than Cleaver.
In The Book of Joan, Melissa Rivers relates funny, poignant, and irreverent
observations about the woman who raised her and is the reason she considers Valium one
of the four basic food groups.
AUTHOR BIO
MELISSA RIVERS is an Ivy League graduate, co-creator of the Red Carpet franchise and
phenomenon, and co-starred on four seasons of WEtv’s hit reality series, Joan & Melissa:
Joan Knows Best? Rivers remains an in-demand speaker and is a board member of God’s
Love We Deliver and the spokesperson for Our House Grief Support Center in Los Angeles.
Rivers lives in Los Angeles with her son, Cooper, and their two dogs.

The iconic Mr. Men/Little Miss books from the
’70s were intended to teach children how to
behave—and how not to behave. Collectively,
they’ve sold millions of copies worldwide, and
the characters have appeared on everything
from T-shirts to toys.
But what about the characters we face in the
21st century? Like your roommate who thinks
she’s “Little Miss Helpful” when she puts up
Post-its reminding you to wash your dishes, but
is actually “Little Miss Passive-Aggressive”? Or
the elusive guy you’re dating, who you thought
was “Mr. Perfect” but is secretly “Mr. Emotionally
Unavailable”? Your “Mr. Cool” nephew who
calls himself “Mr. Baller” when he brags about
his “corporate” job (intern) or even “Little Miss
Fun,” whose YOLO-partying has turned her into
“Little Miss Hot Mess”?
With illustrations and stories that parody the
style of the original books, the Little Miss and Mr.
ME ME ME series are perfect fun-poking gifts for
all the challenging and grating personalities in
our lives.

SUMMARY
A recipe collection and how-to guide for preparing base ingredients that

Anya Fernald’s style of cooking is rustic and simple, shaped by her years working on farms,

secret is that by taking the time to create beautiful, super-flavorful base ingredients ahead
of time—such as homemade sauces, preserves, pickles, and cured meats—you can easily
create fast but luscious meals later using these components. In Home Cooked, Fernald
teaches readers her methods and heritage skills to help them become more intuitive,
natural home cooks who don’t need to rely on recipes. Along the way, she shares kitchen
tips and tricks for transforming food into something truly special, as well as her food
philosophy and inspired approach to home cooking.

Political Science - Security (National & International)
America is overwrought with fear. Terrorists,
pandemics, nuclear attacks—every day a new headline
hits, stirring the nation into terror. But little do we
know, the most imminent dangers to the country are
the ones we’ve heard about the least and are doing
the least about. Congressman Michael McCaul, sitting
chairman of the US House Homeland Committee
on Security, turns away from oversensationalized
and unrealistic fears to expose the most legitimate
national security threats that have been long swept
under the rug. In this stunningly detailed and
impeccably researched book, McCaul exposes the
dangers on our horizons, and provides potential
plans to keep us safe. As the 2016 presidential
election approaches, Americans must demand an
administration that will combat these threats with the
seriousness and urgency they require.

Political Science - American Government - National
Our Founding Fathers rejected royalty and fought
against extravagance, pomp, and circumstance. But
today, U.S. government officials enjoy lifestyles that
would make Marie Antoinette envious. Our public
servants are chauffeured to Capitol Hill from two
blocks away, enjoy their own taxpayer-subsidized
Senate hair care services, vacation in exotic places for
free, and exempt themselves and their friends from
the laws that they create. Our American dynasties
(today, Clinton and Bush) are motivated by money and
power, rather than a commitment to public service.
This shocking waste and corruption undermines
everything our Founding Fathers fought for. This book
reveals how to return to the principles our founders
envisioned, break down the walls between the
government and its constituents, and build a stronger
democracy.

Makers and Takers
The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business
Rana Foroohar
SUMMARY
Makers and Takers shows how the shortsighted financial practices
that nearly toppled the economy in 2008 have come to infiltrate all of
American business, putting us at risk for another economic meltdown.
Drawing on in-depth reporting and exclusive interviews at the highest rungs of Wall Street
and Washington, award-winning journalist Rana Foroohar shows how this “financialization
of America”—is solidifying Wall Street’s prominence over Main Street, hampering economic
progress, and threatening the American Dream. Exploring the forces that have led
American businesses to favor finance over innovation and short-term corporate profits
over real economic growth and job creation, she shows why these issues matter so deeply
and urgently to us all.
Through colorful stories of both Takers—the financiers and misguided public and private
section leaders who are destroying jobs, increasing economic inequality, and stifling
shared wealth creation—but also of Makers—the companies and communities where
finance has been put back into the service of the real economy—she’ll draw out lessons for
what actions are needed to set ourselves on a better path.

How to Have a Good Day
Caroline Webb
SUMMARY
In How to Have a Good Day, Caroline Webb, business consultant and
former partner at powerhouse McKinsey and Co., brings together the
findings on behavioral economics and neuroscience--subjects that have
led to dozens of bestsellng books over the last decade--to show us how
we can use these revolutionary new findings to improve how we work.
Organized into the chronology of an imaginary workday, Webb offers
us specific tools that we can use based on what we now know about
how our brains work, and shows us how we can incorporate them into
our conversations, meetings and projects, in a way that will increase
productivity, confidence, and focus.
From the time we wake up, Webb reveals the tools and practices that will help us to
organize our schedule, set our intentions, focus our attention, adapt to uncertainly, make
better decisions, frame the tasks we set ourselves, unleash productivity, and sustain
our energy. In essence, she offers us a Good Day playbook, showing us how to sharpen
our minds and increase our confidence, so that we make sustained progress, resist our
tendancy to procrastinate, resolve conflict and maintain control of our day, and bounce
back from the inevitable setbacks.
Filled with stories of people struggling to improve their decision making and
management skills, and drawing from cutting-edge ideas from the latest research in
neuroscience and psychology, How to Have a Good Day is the book people wanted to read
when they finished Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow, and were looking for a set of best
practices to apply the new insights they had learned to their own lives and careers.

Writing My Wrongs
Life, Death, and One Man’s Story of Redemption in an American Prison
Shaka Senghor
SUMMARY
In 1991, he was sent to prison for murder. Today, he is a lecturer at the
University of Michigan and an inspiration to thousands.
In life, it’s not how you start that matters. It’s how you finish.
Shaka Senghor was raised in Detroit during the height of the 1980s crack epidemic. An
standout student and a natural leader, he dreamed of becoming a doctor—but at age 11,
his parents’ marriage began to unravel, sending him on a downward spiral that saw him run
away from home, turn to drug dealing to survive, and end up in prison for murder at age 19,
fuming with anger and despair.
Writing My Wrongs is about what came next. During his 19-year incarceration, seven of
which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, and
self-examination, tools that he used to forgive the people who hurt him and begin atoning
for his wrongs. Upon his release, Senghor became an activist and mentor to youth facing
circumstances like his.
Writing My Wrongs is at once a stunning portrait of what it’s like to grow up in the
gravitational pull of poverty, violence, and hopelessness and an unforgettable tale of
redemption, reminding us of the power of unconditional love and prayer for reaching
those whom society has forgotten.

SHAKA SENGHOR is a writer, mentor, and motivational speaker. He is the author of six

and from how to name and bless a child to how to
hold a wake. The second section, Seasons of the
Church Year, begins with the Day, in which the Church
gives time for work and play, talk and silence, and
prayer and sleep. These days grow into weeks and
seasons, extending from ordinary times to holidays
and feasts. The authors also cover: blessing your
first house, discovering a vocation, raising teenagers,
getting a Catholic tattoo, brewing abbey ale, finding
a spiritual director, and finding your own way in the
tradition.

Hope Unfolding
Grace-Filled Truth for the Momma’s Heart
Becky Thompson
Publicist: Charlene Guzman | 719-264-5698 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
A highly popular blogger provides life-giving encouragement to
overwhelmed moms whose energy is consumed by the demands of
motherhood and who struggle to find a balance between being a wife and
a momma.
So many mommas feel like they’re hanging on by a thread, as life pulls them back and forth
in a million directions and leaves them feeling worn thin and frayed around the edges. A
typical mom experiences countless restless nights that make today feel like an extension
of yesterday, and yesterday an extension of the day before. And just when she’s about to
wish these days away, she’ll read somewhere that she is to cherish these moments—and
she wonders what’s to cherish about pure exhaustion, dark nights of negotiating Lego
minefields or days of wearing baby spit-up—not to mention her inability to recall her last
shower. In this narrative of beautifully woven truths, Becky takes the reader on a journey
to encounter hope and trace God’s hands through all of life’s crazy moments. A weary
mom can find peace, healing, and friendship as she discovers that God loves her, hasn’t
left her, and has a beautiful plan especially for her.
AUTHOR BIO

what he describes a “ridiculously good life.” Nick, who travels worldwide and inspires
millions via speaking and media appearances, is married and a father himself. He
acknowledges that overcoming his physical challenges would have been impossible
without the wise and effective efforts of his parents and family. In Raising the Perfectly
Imperfect Child, Nick’s father, Boris, tells the story of what it took to parent such a
unique child. And he offers insight and practical advice to any parent raising a child
with special needs.

Be Light
Shining God’s Beauty, Truth, and Hope into a Darkened World
Samuel Rodriguez
Publicist: Beverly Rykerd | 719-268-1935 | [email protected]
SUMMARY
In a world so often made dark by conflict and personal pain, every
person—through the life of Christ—has the opportunity to be “the light of
the world!”
In Be Light, Sam Rodriguez acknowledges that today’s world is troubled and in many ways
“dark.” He then issues a call—reminiscent of a biblical prophet—to individuals and the
church to rise up in all of life’s arenas and become “the bright city on a hill.” The book
combines a fascinating study of the qualities of light with related spiritual applications.
Readers are given the blueprint to confront and overcome spiritual, emotional, relational,
family, and financial darkness and live as light. The book’s content is presented in a
30-segment (day) meditation format that encourages readers’ connection and action.
AUTHOR BIO
SAMUEL RODRIGUEZ is the president of NHCLC/Conela, an international organization of
more than 500,000 churches (over 40,000 in the U.S.). Born to Puerto Rican immigrant
parents, Rodriguez is recognized as a prominent Latino Christian leader in America,
nominated in 2013 by Time magazine as one of their “100 Most Influential People in

Hardcover
$17.99
In a society consumed by consumption and stressed
about finances, millions are realizing that more “stuff”
won’t necessarily bring more happiness. Material
pursuits, in fact, almost always prevent us from
making room for what does. That’s why minimalism—
defined by the author as “the intentional promotion of
everything we most value and the removal of anything
that distracts us from it”—suggests a radical about
face. The More of Less provides a deeply considered
manifesto for a life-giving alternative: Less is more.
Contentment is possible. Generosity enriches. Genuine
abundance is not found in wealth. Joshua weaves his
own story and the stories of others together with rich
lessons and practical how-tos for achieving a fulfilling,
pared-back, yet generous life.
AUTHOR BIO
JOSHUA BECKER is the voice of Becoming Minimalist,
a renowned website dedicated to inspiring others to

benefits of owning fewer possessions. Joshua helps
readers discover what drags them down and prevents
them from reaching their potential, and offers
practical tips for lifelong solutions. His writing has led
to speaking opportunities across America and media
appearances in the Wall Street Journal, Huffington

instead of Warren’s wagon, one evening a sheriff

and his wife have died, leaving three orphans. Before
his death, Warren instructed the children be left with
“Aunt Neva.”
Neva is shocked to learn Warren and his “other”
wife-Violet, ran a large dry-goods store miles away.
The sheriff asks Neva if she wants the trio sent to an
orphanage, but despite Warren’s betrayal, she takes
in her husband’s children. Facing extreme financial
burdens and the weight of unresolved questions, can
Neva still find the hope in choosing God’s plan?

Renovate
Changing Who You Are by Loving Where You Are
Leonce Crump
SUMMARY
A distinctive voice challenges individuals and churches to embrace
permanence instead of transience, and so become transcultural agents for
spiritual and cultural renewal in whatever their contexts.
Leonce Crump is an emerging spokesman for the urban renewal movement most often
associated with Tim Keller (The Reason for God). This movement attempts to reverse the
drift of resources from cities—which they identify as engines of culture—to full-service
church campuses in the suburbs, which are largely consumers of culture. “How can we
be agents of renewal so urban areas can flourish—both the people and place?” ask these
activists. In response, they advocate aggressive church planting in the urban core, calling
believers to relocate, put down roots, become culture makers themselves, and live out the
gospel as neighbors.
Crump’s first book, Renovate, aspires to be the Radical for this growing movement
of younger evangelicals. Not simply a profile of his fast-growing, transcultural church,
Crump’s book lays out a vision for holistic renewal in the city, and shows in story and
practical example how Christ followers are called to make it happen.
AUTHOR BIO
LEONCE CRUMP is lead pastor at Renovation Church in Atlanta. He was an All-American
wrestler at the University of Oklahoma, a defensive end for the Sooners, and went on to
play professional football for the New Orleans Saints. He is an ordained minister, currently
a master of divinity student at Reformed Theological Seminary. Leonce and his wife,
Breanna, have two daughters.

(Un)Qualified
How God Uses Broken People to Do Big Things
Steven Furtick
[email protected]
SUMMARY
New York Times bestselling author Steven
Furtick invites readers to embrace their
weaknesses in order to find God’s strength.
God does not call the qualified; rather he
qualifies the called!
Instead of hiding our shortcomings, Furtick challenges
us to reveal them and ask God to work through them.
This is the paradox of the Christian life: that our
weakness makes us strong; that God chooses to work
through our imperfection.
Pastor Steven encourages the reader, “Acknowledge
who you really are, to become who you are meant to
be.” While that might seem counterintuitive, we are
all forced to admit the limits of our efforts. We must
realize, as Furtick has through his own challenging
journey, that God can’t bless who we pretend to be.
He blesses who we really are.
