FICTION HIGHLIGHTS
THE GROWNUP: A Story
Gillian Flynn
November 2015
Rights: World
Gillian Flynn’s Edgar Award-winning homage to the classic ghost
story, published for the first time as a standalone.
A canny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels
of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at
Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human
behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy
woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection. However, when the psychic visits the
eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan’s terror and grief, she realizes she may
not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore. Miles, Susan’s teenage stepson, doesn’t help
matters with his disturbing manner and grisly imagination. The three are soon locked in a
chilling battle to discover where the evil truly lurks and what, if anything, can be done to escape
it.
“The Grownup,” which originally appeared as “What Do You Do?” in George R. R.
Martin’s Rogues anthology, proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world’s most
original and skilled voices in fiction.

JUNE
Miranda Beverly-Whittemore
June 2016
Rights: World
From the New York Times bestselling author of BITTERSWEET, a new upmarket
suspense novel that examines the seduction of money, the battle between right and
wrong, and our universal, desperate wish to know and understand the mysteries of our
families.
When Cassie Danvers gets a visit explaining that she’s the sole heir to legendary Hollywood
movie star Jack Montgomery’s fortune, she is stunned. He’s named her as his granddaughter
and cut his two famous daughters out of the will. Cassie doubts she is Montgomery’s
descendant; her prim and proper Grandmother June, dead half a year, certainly never
mentioned him. But Cassie finds out that Jack Montgomery filmed a movie in June’s hometown
of St. Jude, Ohio in the summer of 1955, which means Jack could have fathered Cassie’s dad,
even though June was engaged at the time. Meanwhile, the family home in St. Jude where
Cassie now lives (and where June lived all those years ago) seems to come alive every time
Jack and June’s names are mentioned in the same breath—is it just Cassie’s imagination? As
Cassie comes to discover, June had good reasons to keep her secrets about Jack and all that
happened the summer he came to film in St. Jude, secrets involving blackmail, murder, betrayal
and broken hearts.
A suspenseful and atmospheric summer novel, drawing on BITTERSWEET’s theme of an
outsider who must come to grips with the secrets and lies of a prestigious family’s legacy, JUNE
tells the story of two young women, united across sixty years, confronting similar, but
extraordinary circumstances.
Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is the author of three novels, including The Effects of Light and Set
Me Free, which won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for the best book of fiction by an American
woman published in 2007. A recipient of the Crazyhorse fiction prize, she lives and writes in

THE NEVER-OPEN DESERT DINER: A Novel
James Anderson
March 2016
Rights: World
“High, dry and severely beautiful...a wondrously strange novel."--Marilyn
Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Anderson's first novel is a great one... You have not read a book like
The Never-Open Desert Diner in a long time, if ever. Once you open its
pages you will know you are in for something surprisingly enjoyable."--The Huffington Post
A haunting, funny, and masterfully written debut novel, about a remote region of the Utah
desert where people go to escape their past, and a truck driver who finds himself at risk
when he falls in love with a mysterious woman.
Ben Jones lives a life of quiet and relative solitude, working as a trucker in one of the most
beautiful and desolate areas of the Utah desert, which has become a haven for fugitives and
others looking to hide from the world. But when he meets Claire, a mysterious woman he finds
playing a cello in an abandoned housing development, he is drawn into a love affair that has
serious and life-threatening consequences not only for them both, but for others who have made
this desert their sanctuary. Ultimately their passion reignites a decades-old tragedy at a
roadside café referred to by the locals as The Never-Open Desert Diner. In this unforgettable
story of love and loss, Ben must learn the enduring truth that some violent crimes renew
themselves across generations. The Never-Open Desert Diner is a unique blend of literary
mystery and noir fiction that powerfully evokes an unforgettable setting and introduces readers
to a cast of characters who will linger long after the last page.
JAMES ANDERSON was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. He
is a graduate of Reed College, and received his MFA in creative writing from Pine Manor
College. His short fiction, poetry, essays, and reviews have appeared in many magazines,
including The Bloomsbury Review, New Letters, Solstice Magazine, Northwest Review,
Southern Humanities Review and others, and he previously served as the publisher and editorin-chief of Breitenbush Books. The Never-Open Desert Diner is his first novel.

I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU
Terry McMillan
June 2016
Rights: World
In I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU, Dr. Georgia Young's wonderful lifegreat friends, family, and successful career- aren't enough to keep her
from feeling stuck and restless. When she decides to make some major
changes in her life, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may
not include a second chance at love.
Like Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back, I ALMOST
FORGOT ABOUT YOU will show legions of readers what can happen when you face your
fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to the world.
“It's another dull Friday night. I'm lying in bed, alone, of course, propped up by a sea of pillows,
still in work clothes and my lab coat because after a grueling day of back-to-back patients I'm
almost comatose which is why I'm channel surfing while I wait for my pizza to be delivered. I
stop when I come to my favorite standby: Law & Order: Criminal Intent, even though I've seen
almost all of them -- including the reruns. Sometimes I still watch the first five or ten minutes,
just long enough to see Detective Goren walk around the crime scene, looking for clues before
he begins to study the victim by circling them in his long trench coat until he stops, tilts his head
to the side, puts on those rubber gloves and then rubs the new growth on that beautiful square
chin, because he's just trying to make sense of it all. And it's at that moment, before he utters a
word that I usually pucker up, blow him a kiss and then change the channel. Like I'm doing now.
I've been in love with him and his shoulders long before my first marriage ended. I would've
killed to have sex with him but he went off the air. And were he to walk in here right now, I'd let
him do almost anything he wanted to do to me. That is so not true. It's been centuries since I've
had sex so I'm not sure I'd even remember what to do first. In fact, I think I'd be too
uncomfortable not to mention scared of getting all touchy feely with any man and far too
embarrassed at the mere thought of him seeing me naked. Hell, I sleep with the remote.”
Terry McMillan is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Waiting to Exhale, A Day Late
and a Dollar Short, and The Interruption of Everything and the editor of Breaking Ice: An

A FINE IMITATION
Amber Brock
May 2016
Rights: World English
Agency: Janklow & Nesbit
Set in the glamorous 1920s, A FINE IMITATION is an intoxicating debut
that sweeps readers into a privileged Manhattan socialite's restless life
and the affair with a mysterious painter that upends her world, flashing
back to her years Vassar and the friendship that brought her to the brink
of ruin.
Vera Bellington has the beauty, the pedigree and a penthouse at The Angelus-- the most
coveted address on Park Avenue. But behind the sparkling social whirl, Vera is living a life of
quiet desperation. Her days are an unbroken loop of empty, champagne-soaked socializing,
while her nights are silent and cold, spent waiting alone in her cavernous apartment for a
husband who seldom comes home.
Then Emil Hallan arrives at The Angelus to paint a mural above its glittering subterranean pool.
The handsome French artist moves into the building, shrouds his work in secrecy, and piques
Vera's curiosity, especially when the painter keeps dodging questions about his past. Is he the
man he claims to be? Even as she finds herself increasingly drawn to Hallan's warmth and
passion, Vera can't supress her suspicions. After all, she has plenty of secrets, too -- and some
of them involve art forgers like her bold, artistically 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.

HUNTERS IN THE DARK
Lawrence Osborne
January 2016
Rights: World
“A modern Graham Greene… Osborne is a thrilling, exceptional
talent .” —Sunday Times (UK)
The new novel from Lawrence Osborne, critically acclaimed author
of The Forgiven and The Ballad of a Small Player
When Robert Grieves crosses the Thai-Cambodia border, he is simply
a lone, aimless traveler: a British English teacher in his early thirties, abroad on holiday with no
particular destination in mind. But when he unexpectedly wins money at the gambling table, his
fate becomes intertwined with the lives of a cast of others: people who are strangers to him now
but whose choices will affect his future in surprising--and often dangerous--ways. Simon
Beaucamp, a dashing expat American, asks Robert to join him at his lavish riverside home and
introduces him to Sothea, his beautiful and reserved Khmer girlfriend, and although Simon's
motives are unclear, Robert can't help but be taken in by the American's elegance and
generosity.
What follows is a sophisticated game of cat and mouse, where identities are blurred, greed
trumps kindness, and karma is ruthless. Filled with Hitchcockian twists and turns, suffused with
the steamy heat and pervasive superstition of the Cambodian jungle, and unafraid to confront
uneasy questions about luck and the machinations of fate, HUNTERS IN THE DARK is a
masterful novel that feels like an instant classic.

THE TUNNELS
JFK, CBS & NBC at the Berlin Wall
Greg Mitchell
September 2016
Rights: World
On their backs with loud machines, then, as they neared the border, only picks and shovels, a band of young
West Germans gouged their way beneath the Berlin Wall in 1962. The team, risking arrest or death, had
arranged for a group of East German loved ones to meet them in the basement of a tenement on the East side
to spirit the group under the wall to freedom.
The symbolic drama of East German attempts to leap, climb, or scrape their way West made for gripping
television, and no one knew that better than the Berlin correspondents of the two major networks and their
bosses, Piers Anderton and Reuven Frank at NBC, and CBS’s Daniel Schorr and Blair Clark. Unbeknownst to
each other, NBC and CBS, hearing rumors of tunnelers around Berlin, abetted and funded separate tunnel
attempts and vied to be the first to air a triumphant documentary of the human will to be free from Communism.
Anxiously looking over the shoulders of them all, with more than a trace of political hypocrisy, John F.
Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Secretary of State Dean Rusk, exerted all the influence they could to put an
end to these endeavors. If the programs were broadcast, the administration might be perceived by Khrushchev
as using its propaganda outlets to condone perforating the border.
Greg Mitchell, relying on documents declassified in the last 12 months, winds this tense story with excitement
and panache in THE TUNNELS: JFK, CBS & NBC at the Berlin Wall, Le Carré meets Argo in a non-fiction
Cold War nail-biter. Using brand new source material, Mitchell revisits this magnetic time in history that
continues to beckon readers.

A MOTHER’S RECKONING: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy
Sue Klebold
Introduction by Andrew Solomon
February 2016
Rights: World
In A MOTHER'S RECKONING, Sue Klebold, for the first time, recounts , based on her
recollections, her daily journals, and the difficult and tragic writings and video recordings
her son left behind, the days and months leading up to the tragic shooting at Columbine
High School, where 13 students, as well as the shooters themselves, died - and the
searing impact the tragedy had on the victims and their families, on the Columbine
community, and on Sue and her family. In large measure, this candid and unflinching
narrative was written to explore how Sue missed the signs. How did her beloved golden boy go so utterly off
the rails, without her knowledge? Did she miss the indications, subtle or obvious, that Dylan was in trouble?
That her child, who had just attended the senior prom and was soon to graduate and go off to college, had a
dark, secret life, and an inner rage, that she could not even imagine? Is there something valuable and
important that she can share with other mothers and families in terms of recognizing the signs that might get
other young adults the help they need to head off a Columbine before it happens?
In an age when the number of mass shootings every year has escalated to unprecedented levels, is there
something we as parents and concerned citizens and community members can do to help our children and
head off such senseless tragedies? With fresh wounds from Newton and U.C. Santa Barbara, never has the
need or yearning for insight and understanding been more urgent. (Material will be embargoed until
publication)

Rights: World
An intimate and vivid look inside Nina Simone's legendary life as a fiery singer,
demanding mother, and tirelessly committed civil rights activist, told using
previously buried material from the Netflix/Radical Media documentary What
Happened, Miss Simone?
From music journalist and former Spin and Vibe editor-in-chief Alan Light comes a
biography of incandescent soul icon and activist Nina Simone, drawn from a trove of rare archival materials,
including Simone's remarkable private diaries, published alongside Radical Media's much buzzed-about
documentary of the same name, which debuted to great acclaim at Sundance in January 2015 and will
premiere on Netflix this summer.
What Happened, Miss Simone? explores the many facets of this complicated and gifted woman, excavating
her lifelong passion for classical music and painful rejection from that field, along with her soaring success as a
soul singer and the stresses put upon her as an African American pushing against the tide of racial
discrimination in civil rights battles. Harnessing the singular voice of Miss Simone herself through her private
correspondence and incorporating candid reflections from those who knew her best, including her only
daughter, Light brings us face to face with a legend, examining the very public persona and very private
struggles of one of our greatest artists.

Number One New York Times Bestseller
From Mindy Kaling, the author of the mega-bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out
Without Me? and creator and star of The Mindy Project, comes a highly
anticipated second book of hilarious essays, opinions, concerns, and advice.
Since the publication of her much-loved first book, Mindy Kaling's life has changed
significantly. Back then, she played Kelly Kapoor, a supporting character on the popular series, The Office.
Now Mindy is the creator, producer, writer, and star of her own TV show, The Mindy Project. She is, as she
puts it, "a tiny bit famous," the perks of which include being three assistants, two phones calls and a really
good lie away from obtaining Bradley Cooper's e-mail address and having convicts writing her fan mail from
prison. She's gone through some other major changes as well--she's watched friends start their own families,
and she's grappled with her own balance of work and private life. Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, the
heartache, and the celebrations of her second coming of age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays
that anyone who's ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who've never been
at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bono, encountering Elmo, what kind of
snacks they have at a Vogue photo shoot, and what you should carry in your purse when you go to the State
Dinner honoring the president of France. (B&W PHOTOS)

April 2016
Rights: World
Based on the wildly popular Instagram account @CrazyJewishMom, Kate Siegel's essay collection
about life with the woman who redefined the term "helicopter mom."
There is nothing more special, frustrating, loving, or fraught than a daughter's relationship with her mother. No
one else will firmly insist that you are perfect, while simultaneously making you question every career, fashion,
or relationship choice you've ever made. Kate Siegel understands this delicate dynamic all too well--her own
mother drove her so crazy that she decided to broadcast her hilarious text messages on Instagram. She must
have struck a chord because soon hundreds of thousands of people were following their daily
correspondences. Now, in Crazy Jewish Mom, Kate pays tribute to the woman whose helicopter parenting may
make you forgive your own mother's eccentricities. If fans think Kate's mom's texts are insane, they will laugh
out loud at the anecdotes her daughter shares in this collection
From embarrassing moments (like Kate's mother's surprise early morning visit after a drunken one-night stand)
to outrageous stories (such as the time she moved cross country to be near Kate's college) to hilarious threats
("If you don't call me I'm going to add your boyfriend on Facebook"), Crazy Jewish Mom lovingly lampoons the
lengths to which our mothers will go to better our lives (even if if feels like they're ruining them in the process).

Patricia Gucci
May 2016
Rights: World
The gripping family drama--and never-before-told love story--surrounding the rise
and fall of the late Aldo Gucci, the man who is responsible for making the Italian
fashion label the powerhouse it is today, told by his daughter.
Patricia Gucci was born a secret: the love child whose birth could have spelled ruination
for her father, Aldo Gucci. It was 1963, and the halcyon days for the "must-have" brand
of Hollywood and European royalty. Patricia's mother gave birth in secret in London before she was smuggled
back to Vatican City and hidden from the fashion world, the media, and the rest of the Gucci family. Aldo
couldn't afford a public scandal, but he could not resist his feelings for Patricia's mother, Bruna, the paramour
he first met when she worked for him as a shopgirl in Rome.
In In the Name of Gucci, Patricia Gucci charts her parents' untold love story, relying on her own childhood
memories as well as an archive of love letters and interviews with her mother. She interweaves her parents'
story with that of her own relationship with her father--from a little girl who remained a secret for eighteen
months and wasn't publicly acknowledged for her first decade, through her rise to become Gucci's ambassador
and Aldo's protégé, to the moment when his three sons, who betrayed him in a famous palace coup, were
disinherited and Patricia--once considered the shame of Gucci--was made sole universal heir. It is an epic tale
of love and loss, betrayal and loyalty, sweeping among Italy, England, and America throughout the tumultuous
years during the rise and fall of the House of Gucci.

shower in Africa at 4 am to lose weight, to agreeing to an exorcism at the behest of her
crazy ex-husband, to eating pig organs with Harrison Ford’s son after her producers told
her it would “make good TV,” Salie has done it all in the opes of achieving positive
reinforcement from colleagues, friends, and her aforementioned ex.
With thoughtfulness and sarcasm, Salie reflects on why it is she tries so hard to please others, highlighting a
phenomenon that many people—especially women—experience at home and in the work place. Equal parts
laugh-out loud funny and poignant, APPROVAL JUNKIE is a humorous exploration into why it is that we so
desperately try to please others at the expense of our own happiness.

KANYE WEST OWES ME $300
Jensen Karp
June 2016
Rights: World
After the Beastie Boys and Vanilla Ice, but before Eminem, there was "Hot
Karl," the Jewish kid from the L.A. suburbs who became a rap battling
legend--and then almost became a star.
When 12-year old Jensen Karp got his first taste of rapping for crowds at his
friend's Bat Mitzvah in 1991, little did he know that he was taking his first step on
a crazy journey--one that would end with a failed million-dollar recording and
publishing deal with Interscope Records when he was only 19. In KANYE WEST OWES ME $300, Jensen will
finally tell the true story of his wild ride as "Hot Karl," the most famous Jewish rapper you've never heard of.
Along the way, we'll see Jensen's struggles with his ska- and rock-listening southern California classmates,
who tell him that "rap is for black people"; his record-breaking rap battling streak on popular radio show Roll
Call; his rise in the LA club scene; and the double life he leads the whole time. We'll also meet his supportive
mother (who takes him to 21+ clubs and announces him at gigs); his rap partner Rickye (an African-American
kid who formed the other half of their group, XTra Large); and the performers he recorded with, including soonto-be household names Kanye West, Redman, Fabolous, Mya, Will.i.am; and then we'll enjoy rollicking stories
of sex, drugs, and hip hop from his close brush with fame. Finally, we'll learn why his album never saw the light
of day (two words: Slim Shady), his downward spiral after, and what Jensen found instead of rap glory.
This is a quirky, fish-out-of-water memoir about a guy who follows an unlikely passion, despite what everyone
else says. It's 8 Mile for the Pitch Perfect crowd.

Trade Paperback Original
The cats of America are under siege, faced with greater dangers than we have ever
known. Long passed are the good old days when a cat’s biggest worries were a

nine lives and their souls. Never has there been a single book to help you prepare your cat for the myriad
challenges they face every day… until now.
THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PATRIOTS PRESENTS: HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CAT ABOUT GUN
SAFETY is a parody guidebook, mixing the lighthearted silliness of Cat Fancy magazine with the paranoid,
reactionary rhetoric of a Chick tract. Also includes the important discussion topics: “How to Talk To Your Cat
About Evolution” and “How to Talk to Your Cat About Abstinence.”

BORN FOR THIS
How to Find the Work You Were Meant to Do
Chris Guillebeau
May 2016
Rights: World
When Chris Guillebeau toured more than fifty cities on five continents to promote his
two previous New York Times bestselling books, he noticed that readers all over the
world had some version of the same question: "I love all these stories about people
finding their dream job or career, but how do I figure out what my dream career is?"
Finding the answer to that question is what this book is about.
In BORN FOR THIS, mega-bestselling author of the $100 Start-Up returns to his fan
base with the practical business book his readers have been waiting for, offering readers a step-by-step guide
for finding the work that feels so "right," it feels like they were born to do it, whether by launching a side
hustle that turns a passion into a profitable business; by finding a dream position within a traditional
organization; by fashioning an entirely new self-styled profession around all one's many varied interests, or by
“hacking" an existing hum-drum job into work you love.
There are certain people out there who seem to have won the career lottery. To the outside observer, at least,
it seems that by some stroke of good luck or divine intervention, the type of work they do best also just
happens to be the work they most love to do. But in reality, their good fortune didn't come about by chance.
There's an actual method for finding the job you love so much it doesn't even feel like work - and getting paid
well to do it. This book will show you how.
Chris Guillebeau is the author of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller The
$100 Startup and the New York Times bestsellerThe Happiness of Pursuit. His blog receives more than 1
million unique hits a month, and posts have been picked up everywhere from CNN.com to Forbes.com to
the Huffington Post. His newsletter is read by 75,000 (and growing) subscribers, and he has a highly engaged
social media following of 130,000 Twitter followers and over 65,000 Facebook fans. He is the creator and
emcee of the annual World Domination Summit, a gathering of 5,000 cultural creatives that attracts such
speakers as Susan Cain, A. J. Jacobs, Brené Brown, and Gretchen Rubin.

THE PRODUCTIVITY PROJECT
Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy Better
Chris Bailey
March 2016
Rights: World
This book is the result of the author's year-long investigation into how to be more
productive at work and in every facet of your life. It is a journey that Chris Bailey
chronicled in a blog he created called A Year of Productivity.
Chris Bailey has been fascinated with the subject of productivity since he was a
teenager. While pursuing his business degree in college, he researched every paper
and read every book available on the topic. After graduation, he embarked on a yearlong productivity project, interviewing many of the world’s foremost gurus in the field, from Charles Duhigg to
David Allen, while conducting a series of productivity experiments on himself, from getting by on little sleep, to
waking up at 5:30 every morning for a month, from avoiding caffeine and sugar to working 90 hours a week,
and monitoring the impact of each experiment on his productivity. He created a blog at the beginning of the
project, with exactly zero followers. But as people heard about the project, and read his blog, his traffic grew
exponentially, so that by the end of the year he had over 250,000 unique visitors a month.
Among the many counterintuitive insights Chris writes about in the book are removing or shrinking the
unimportant; the rule of three; striving for imperfection; scheduling less time for important tasks; the 20 second
rule to distract yourself from distractions, and the concept of productive procrastination. He offers over 30 best
practices that will help every one of us to accomplish more.
Chris Bailey has grown his blog to over 250,000 unique visitors a month over the past year. His work has
received attention from Fox Business, the Huffington Post, New York Magazine, TED, and Lifehacker. He lives
in Canada.

ELEVATE YOURSELF
Sallie Krawcheck
December 2016
Rights: World
One of the highest ranked women to ever have worked on Wall Street shows
how women can elevate themselves and their careers by embracing the
uniquely female traits proven to make women better leaders, more effective
team players, and more valuable assets to companies and employers.
Lean in. Demand your place at the table. Sallie Krawcheck has had it with
professional advice implying that if women simply leaned in a little farther,
played the game a little better, and demanded just a little bit more- in other words, acted a little more like MEN
- they could finally break through that glass ceiling and enjoy the success and power they deserve. The
problem is that trying to beat a man at a man's game, she says, is a contest rigged to lose. A better strategy is
to embrace and invest in the unique traits that make women better positioned to lead and succeed than men:
broader diversity of perspective, greater long-term focus and healthier attitude towards risk, higher aptitude for
certain types of creativity, better people skills, empathy, and more.
Having been the lone woman at the very highest rungs of male-dominated Wall St, as CFO of CitiGroup and
President of Wealth Management at Bank of America Krawcheck knows what it takes to succeed as a woman
in a man's world. Which is why, in the new chapter of her life as Chair of one of the largest professional
networks for women, she put her research analyst background to work to uncover reams of irrefutable
evidence showing that companies perform better when they fully engage women; that companies with women
in leadership positions serve clients and customer needs better, have a stronger and more engaged culture,
are vastly more innovative, and sustain profits over a longer term.
Drawing on this research as well as on fascinating stories from her years at the highest echolons of the biggest
boy's club in the world, Krawcheck will inspire and empower women to elevate both themselves and their
companies by investing in these assets and strengths. Because according to Krawcheck, women who
capitalize on these skills won't need to "lean in" or demand a place at the table; employers will offer that place
to them willingly because it makes good business sense. Picking up the conversation where Lean In left off,
this book will show women how to go beyond merely sitting at the table and elevate themselves to the next
level by bringing their true female selves to work.
Sallie Krawcheck has been dubbed "The First Lady of Wall Street" and been named one of TIME magazine's
"Global Business Influentials," one of Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People of 2014", and has appeared
9 times on the Fortune list of Most Powerful Women in Business. Her Elevate Network
(https://www.ellevatenetwork.com) is global and they currently have a presence in the UK, Brazil, Spain, China,
Taiwan, India and South Africa.

WELLTH
Lessons on Redefining Happiness, Success, and Health
Jason Wachob
March 2016
Rights: World
Much like the 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 wellbeing is the new 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
roadmap for returning to the original meaning.
In thematic essays, MindBodyGreen founder, Jasob 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; ultra-marathoner Rich Roll; and yoga phenoms Kathryn Budig and Tara Stiles.
Jason Wachob is the Founder and CEO of mindbodygreen, the leading independent media company

THE PRIME
Ancient Secrets to Healing Your Brain and Gut for Spontaneous Weight Loss
Kulreet Chaudhary
January 2016
Rights: World
“Kulreet Chaudhary chronicles a fascinating journey from a reductionist and
mechanistic medicine to a truly integrated behavioral approach to health and
healing. For anyone who wants to understand the future of well being and
medicine this book is a must read.”
--Deepak Chopra
Most diets have you eliminate foods in order to lose weight. THE PRIME works the
opposite way. You eliminate nothing; the beauty of this plan is that in order to prime
your body you don’t have to give up any of the foods you love, you just have to
make a few additions to your diet. Essentially, it’s dieting in reverse.
Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not. Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary was treating her neurology patients by
combining both traditional western approaches with more eastern ayurvedic medicine and discovered a
beautiful side effect to the plan she gave her brain patients—they all were shedding excess pounds using it. It
was at this point that she realized that weight gain is not about habits, it’s about science. It’s a result of the
body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. Fix that environment by simply rebalancing the system and weight
loss becomes almost spontaneous. The bottom line is that if your body is not prepared, if it is not “primed” for
weight loss, you will fight a biochemical uphill battle, and the odds of succeeding on any diet are slim.
So how does it work? You start out by taking a quiz in order to evaluate your current level of health and
toxicity. Then you begin a 4-stage plan in which you make NO changes to your eating plan, you simply add
certain teas, herbs, supplements and juices to your diet over a period of time. These all work to reduce
inflammation, detox your system, reduce cravings, and speed weight loss.
The secret is to PRIME your body, prime your gut and prime your brain. The result: more energy, better health,
and fast permanent weight loss.
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary is a neurologist, and the director of Wellspring Health at
Scripps Memorial Hospital and a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. Her
research includes groundbreaking work in stem cell therapies for diabetic peripheral
neuropathy and drug development for the treatment of ALS. She is the co-founder of
Habit Change, and she is committed to bringing national awareness to the need for a
paradigm shift in medicine that focuses on patient empowerment and a health-based
medical system. Dr. Chaudhary is has appeared numerous times on The Dr. Oz
Show, discussing ayurvedic medicine and health. She's a writer for the Dr. Oz
website, and was featured in San Diego Magazine's "Top Doctors of San Diego"
issue. She has also been featured in magazines such as Women's Health and First
for Women.

CONFRONTING THE SOCIOPATH NEXT DOOR
Martha Stout, Ph.D.
October 2016
Rights: World
A sequel to Stout's 2005 bestseller The Sociopath Next Door, this compilation of stories the author has
received from readers examines the personal and global implications of sociopathy, and provides hope for
those who are currently dealing with a sociopath.
Bringing together the countless e-mails, phone calls, and letters that she has collected from readers since the
publication of The Sociopath Next Door, Martha Stout mines these accounts for their inherent fascination and
instruction and makes the issue of conscience, or the lack thereof, riveting and relevant to a wide audience.
Organized around the intersection of sociopathy and subjects such as destructive narcissism, physicians and
other professionals, politicians and the military, nonprosecuted violent crimes, and our neighbors, each chapter
contains representative stories from "everyday people," as well as Stout's detailed explanation and
commentary. Uniting these disparate categories is Stout's discussion of changing psychological thoeries of
personality and sociopathy and the enduring triumph of conscience over those who operate without empathy or
concern for others.
With CONFRONTING THE SOCIOPATH NEXT DOOR, Stout aims to help readers navigate their interactions
with ruthless people in their personal lives and to inform society's broader interest in character and conceptions
of normality during a time of great cultural change.
Martha Stout, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in private practice, served on the faculty in psychology in the
department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School for twenty-five years. She is also the author of The Myth of
Sanity. She lives in Massachusetts.

LOVE THAT BOY
What Two Presidents, Eight Road Trips, and My Son Taught Me About a Parent's
Expectations
Ron Fournier
April 2016
Rights: World
Ron Fournier, bestselling author, editor of National Journal, and former head of the
Associated Press's Washington Bureau, writes movingly of the outsize and crushing
expectations that come from parents and with parenting today, through the lens of his
relationship with his son, Tyler, who has mild Asperger's.
Love That Boy is a multi-layered story about one father's journey to acceptance. Ron Fournier's son has
Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that makes Tyler socially awkward. With a stiff nudge from his wife,
Ron traveled the country with Tyler to various presidential sites and visited with former presidents Bill Clinton
and George W. Bush, in a series of "guilt" trips that help him appreciate Tyler for who he is, rather than what
he wanted him to be. On a broader level, it's a story about every parent's stratospheric expectations for their
children--where and why the dreams are made, how these aspirations distort childhood, and what ways they
can be properly channeled. When a parent's expectations come from the wrong place and are pressed into
service of the wrong goals, kids get hurt. While a parent's love is unconditional, a parent's pride comes with
caveats. Ron discovered both late in his job as a father, which he shares in this compelling and honest look at
the universal pitfalls of modern parenting.
RON FOURNIER is the senior political columnist and editorial director of National Journal. He previously
worked at the Associated Press for 20 years, most recently as Washington Bureau chief, where he covered the
state legislature and presidential politics. Fournier also served as a fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics,
where he cowrote the New York Times bestseller Applebee's America.

THE OTHER DOOR
What You Didn't Know About The World Hereafter
George Anderson
February 2016
Rights: World
For more than forty years, spiritual medium George Anderson has been able to bridge the world of the
hereafter and the earth, through his ability to communicate messages of hope from those who passed on.
Since the age of six, Anderson has had a special relationship with what he calls “the souls” who depend on his
ability to hear them and bring peace and comfort to their grieving families. The author of two New York Times
bestsellers including Lessons from the Light, is widely considered by those in the medical, scientific and
religious fields, to be the world’s greatest living medium.
In this new book, Anderson collects the wisdom of the dearly departed, who now see with perfect clarity, into
twelve time-honored principles to help us navigate the most important and critical times in our lives. Lessons
include, mind your own business; how to read the body language of heaven; laugh and fail more; to look for the
light, follow the moon; and others.
Many of us are spiritually near-sighted. We can only see what’s right in front of our eyes. THE OTHER DOOR
will provide us with metaphorical corrective lenses. For those who were inspired by the hopeful message of
Proof of Heaven, George Anderson, the medium who defined this genre in the late 20th century, will show
simply and practically that Heaven isn’t just an idea but a reality in the here and now.
George Anderson is the first medium in history to appear regularly on a cable television show, the first
medium to gain international exposure for his extraordinary ability, and the only living medium to have been
invited to Holland by surviving members of the family of Anne Frank, and remains the most scientifically tested
medium on Earth. He’s the New York Times bestselling author of Walking in the Garden of Souls and Lessons
from the Light.
