-Titulo Original : You All Grow Up And Leave Me: A Memoir Of Teenage Obsession-Fabricante : William Morrow & Company-Descripcion Original: Unflinching, rich and revelatory.-MEGAN ABBOTT “Gorgeous, moody, and evocative . . . half coming-of-age story and half exhaustively researched true crime.” -VANITY FAIR “Bracingly honest and extremely discomfiting, this book is like a riveting episode of Law & Order: SVU set at a Manhattan prep school with the U.S. Open as a backdrop.”-MARIE CLAIRE A riveting blend of true crime and coming-of-age memoir- The Stranger Beside Me meets Prep-that presents an intimate and thought-provoking portrait of girlhood within Manhattan’s exclusive private-school scene in the early 1990s, and a thoughtful meditation on adolescent obsession and the vulnerability of youth. Piper Weiss was fourteen years old when her middle-aged tennis coach, Gary Wilensky, one of New York City’s most prestigious private instructors, killed himself after a failed attempt to kidnap one of his teenage students. In the aftermath, authorities discovered that this well-known figure among the Upper East Side tennis crowd was actually a frightening child predator who had built a secret torture chamber-a Cabin of Horrors-in his secluded rental in the Adirondacks. Before the shocking scandal broke, Piper had been thrilled to be one of Gary’s Girls. Grandpa Gary, as he was known among his students, was different from other adults-he treated Piper like a grown-up, taking her to dinners, engaging in long intimate conversations with her, and sending her special valentines. As reporters swarmed her private community in the wake of Wilensky’s death, Piper learned that her mentor was a predator with a sordid history of child stalking and sexual fetish. But why did she still feel protective of Gary, and why was she disappointed that he hadn’t chosen her? Now, twenty years later, Piper examines the event as both a teenage eyewitness and a dispassionate investigative reporter, hoping to understand and exorcise the childhood memories that haunt her to this day. Combining research, interviews, and personal records, You All Grow Up and Leave Me explores the psychological manipulation by child predators-their ability to charm their way into seemingly protected worlds-and the far-reaching effects their actions have on those who trust them most. Review “Brilliant . . . Piper Weiss has crafted a book that marries true crime to memoir. . . . and Weiss shines as a memoirist-seamlessly unveiling the unexpected and the startling, revealing the raw, ragged truth about her conflicted and slightly twisted teenage self.” -- Ivy Pochoda, Los Angeles Times “Intriguing . . . Weiss has a wonderful eye for the evocative detail . . . and a light but effective touch when summing up the zeitgeist.” -- New York Times Book Review “Equal Parts true-crime investigation and self-reflection . . . Bracingly honest and extremely discomfiting, this book is like a riveting episode of Law & Order: SVU set at a Manhattan prep school with the U.S. Open as a backdrop.” -- Marie Claire “Gorgeous, moody, and evocative . . . half coming-of-age story and half exhaustively researched true crime. . . . Weiss’s retelling is respectful, eschewing sensationalism for self-investigation, insightful metaphor, and lyrical turns of phrase.” -- Vanity Fair “ You All Grow Up and Leave Me is unflinching, rich and revelatory, not just about its twin subjects-the true crime at the heart of the book and the wrenching coming-of-age story that surrounds it-but about the dangers, fragility and piercing beauty of girlhood itself.” -- Megan Abbott, bestselling author of You Will Know Me “A memoir so wholly original and brilliantly written, I feel comfortable saying nothing else in the genre compares. You All Grow Up and Leave Me perfectly marries the tenderness of coming-of-age with the horror of true crime . . . a gorgeous, haunting book.” -- Shondaland “There’s a true crime story at the heart of this memoir-and a deeply disturbing one at that. But You All Grow Up and Leave Me is a...

-Titulo Original : The Lost Girls: A Novel-Fabricante : William Morrow & Company-Descripcion Original: “The delicacy of [Young’s] writing elevates the drama and gives her two central characters depth and backbone… For all the beauty of Young’s writing, her novel is a dark one...And the murder mystery that drives it is as shocking as anything you’re likely to read for a good long while.” - New York Times Book Review A stunning novel that examines the price of loyalty, the burden of regret, the meaning of salvation, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, told in the voices of two unforgettable women linked by a decades-old family mystery at a picturesque lake house. In 1935, six-year-old Emily Evans vanishes from her family’s vacation home on a remote Minnesota lake. Her disappearance destroys the family-her father commits suicide, and her mother and two older sisters spend the rest of their lives at the lake house, keeping a decades-long vigil for the lost child. Sixty years later, Lucy, the quiet and watchful middle sister, lives in the lake house alone. Before her death, she writes the story of that devastating summer in a notebook that she leaves, along with the house, to the only person who might care: her grandniece, Justine. For Justine, the lake house offers freedom and stability-a way to escape her manipulative boyfriend and give her daughters the home she never had. But the long Minnesota winter is just beginning. The house is cold and dilapidated. The dark, silent lake is isolated and eerie. Her only neighbor is a strange old man who seems to know more about the summer of 1935 than he’s telling. Soon Justine’s troubled oldest daughter becomes obsessed with Emily’s disappearance, her mother arrives to steal her inheritance, and the man she left launches a dangerous plan to get her back. In a house haunted by the sorrows of the women who came before her, Justine must overcome their tragic legacy if she hopes to save herself and her children. Review “A novel of quiet intensity that builds to a terrifying climax. THE LOST GIRLS contains echoes of Kate Atkinson’s Case Histories and is just as haunting.” -- Minneapolis Star Tribune “This book has it all - intrigue, complicated relationships, and a thrilling plotline - and it will appeal to fans of long-spanning ‘90s stories like Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias (yes that came out in ‘89 but you totally had the VHS in the ‘90s).” -- Bustle “A taut, intricately plotted novel.” -- San Jose Mercury News “Young does a masterful job contrasting Lucy’s long-ago summer, her last happy one, with Justine’s dawning knowledge of how the effects of a family tragedy echo down through the years.” -- Toronto Star “Suspenseful and finely wrought, Young’s tale is not easily forgotten.” -- Booklist “Beautifully written, THE LOST GIRLS will please suspense fans as well as those who love redemptive fiction. This is a big, bold, heart-wrenching book reminiscent of novels by Jodi Picoult, and is an excellent debut.” -- Bookreporter “Heather Young has crafted a gorgeous book that moves artfully back and forth through time, weaving a suspenseful tale steeped in generations of family secrets. Places hold memories, The Lost Girls reminds us so beautifully; places shape us, bind us, haunt us, but sometimes, they can redeem us, too.” -- Jennifer McMahon, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Sister “Heather Young is a master weaver of plot, time, and character. Her prose is confident, her story ambitious. The result -- THE LOST GIRLS -- is a haunting and dynamic debut that never falters.” -- Ivy Pochoda, author of Vistation Street “Heather Young’s clear, unsentimental writing is bracingly observant, psychologically astute, and suspenseful. Her characters include people who cannot love, people who destroy what they love-and people who slowly, agonizingly, figure out what love actually is. From its opening...to its troubling, thrilling conclusion, I found this novel irresistible.” -- Alice Mattison “I was swept into THE LOST GIR...

-Titulo Original : The Siege Winter: A Novel-Fabricante : William Morrow & Company-Descripcion Original: A powerful historical novel by the late Ariana Franklin and her daughter Samantha Norman, The Siege Winter is a tour de force mystery and murder, adventure and intrigue, a battle for a crown, told by two courageous young women whose fates are intertwined in twelfth century England’s devastating civil war. 1141. England is engulfed in war as King Stephen and his cousin, the Empress Matilda, vie for the crown. In this dangerous world, not even Emma, an eleven-year-old peasant, is safe. A depraved monk obsessed with redheads kidnaps the ginger-haired girl from her village and leaves her for dead. When an archer for hire named Gwyl finds her, she has no memory of her previous life. Unable to abandon her, Gwyl takes the girl with him, dressing her as a boy, giving her a new name-Penda-and teaching her to use a bow. But Gwyn knows that the man who hurt Penda roams free, and that a scrap of evidence she possesses could be very valuable. Gwyl and Penda make their way to Kenilworth, a small but strategically important fortress that belongs to fifteen-year-old Maud. Newly wedded to a boorish and much older husband after her father’s death, the fierce and determined young chatelaine tempts fate and Stephen’s murderous wrath when she gives shelter to the empress. Aided by a garrison of mercenaries, including Gwyl and his odd red-headed apprentice, Maud will stave off Stephen’s siege for a long, brutal winter that will bring a host of visitors to Kenilworth-kings, soldiers . . . and a sinister monk with deadly business to finish. Review “[A] thoroughly captivating tale.” -- Kirkus Reviews “Readers will note Franklin’s hand in the storytelling and see the freshness Norman brings to the tale, filled with fascinating characters who drive the plot as much as the tempestuous backdrop. With its bit of intrigue, historical setting and lovely characters, readers will be captivated by this compelling tale.” -- Historical Novels Review Praise for Grave Goods: “Richly detailed, almost indecently thrilling.” -- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review (on Grave Goods) “Norman and Franklin excel . . . in this richly researched, female-driven historical mystery. ” -- Library Journal (starred review) “Medieval-mystery writing at its best.” -- NY Daily News ” Both harsh and lovely, this novel seizes you from the first page, heart and soul, and doesn’t let go!” -- Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Chalice “Vivid and engaging...succeeds brilliantly as both historical fiction and crime thriller. [A] terrific book...with a dozen twists.” -- Diana Gabaldon, Washington Post (on Mistress of the Art of Death) “One of the most compelling, suspenseful mysteries I’ve read in years.” -- New York Times bestselling author Sharon Kay Penman (on Mistress of the Art of Death) From the Back Cover England, 1141. The countryside is devastated by a long civil war as the English king, Stephen, and his cousin, the Empress Matilda, battle for the crown. . . . Emma is the eleven-year-old redheaded daughter of a peasant family. When mercenaries pass through their town, they bring with them a monk with a deadly interest in young redheaded girls. Emma is left for dead in a burned-out church until Gwil, an archer, finds her by chance. Gwil takes Emma with him, dressing her as a boy to avoid attention. Emma becomes Penda-and Penda turns out to have a killer instinct with a bow and arrow. Maud is the fifteen-year-old chatelaine of Kenniford, a small but strategically important castle she’s determined to protect. But when Maud provides refuge for the empress, Stephen’s armies lay siege to Kenniford Castle. Aided by a garrison of mercenaries-including Gwil and his odd, redheaded apprentice-they must survive a long winter under siege. It’s a brutal season that brings everyone to Kenniford-including the sinister monk who has never stopped hunting the redheaded girl. . . . “Enthralling. . . . A grand yet intimate historical adventure”.-...

To say it may save lives is self-evident.” -New York Times Book Review (Editors Choice) NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: San Francisco Chronicle, Chrisitian Science Monitor, Amazon, Kirkus, Winnipeg Free Press One of the decades most original and masterfully reported books, A Deadly Wandering by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Matt Richtel interweaves the cutting-edge science of attention with the tensely plotted story of a mysterious car accident and its aftermath to answer some of the defining questions of our time: What is technology doing to us? Can our minds keep up with the pace of change? How can we find balance? On the last day of summer, an ordinary Utah college student named Reggie Shaw fatally struck two rocket scientists while texting and driving along a majestic stretch of highway bordering the Rocky Mountains. A Deadly Wandering follows Reggie from the moment of the tragedy, through the police investigation, the states groundbreaking prosecution, and ultimately, Reggies wrenching admission of responsibility. Richtel parallels Reggies journey with leading-edge scientific findings on the impact technology has on our brains, showing how these devices play to our deepest social instincts. A propulsive read filled with surprising scientific detail, riveting narrative tension, and rare emotional depth, A Deadly Wandering is a book that can change-and save-lives. Review “Richtel’s compassionate and persuasive book deserves a spot next to Fast Food Nation and To Kill a Mockingbird in America’s high school curriculums. To say it may save lives is self-evident.” -- New York Times Book Review (Editors Choice) “Keen and elegantly raw. ... Not just a morality tale but a probe sent into the world of technology. ... Richtel draws all the characters with a fine brush, a delicacy that treats misery both respectfully and front-on.” -- Christian Science Monitor (One of the 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year) “Americans are addicted to their technology, putting us on a modern day collision course with very real consequences. Matt Richtel brilliantly tells the story of the aftermath of a deadly distracted driving crash. His portrait is riveting. I could not stop reading, and neither will you.” -- Ray LaHood, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation “A portrait of our digital age that will deeply frighten you and cause you to reevaluate many common aspects of your ‘connected’ life. ... An extraordinarily important book that everyone-and I mean everyone-should read.” -- Douglas Preston, co-author of The Monster of Florence “A masterpiece of reporting, insight, and empathy. ... A beautiful, cautionary tale that reads like a novel, and that we disregard at our risk.” -- Robert Kurson, author of Shadow Divers “ A Deadly Wandering is more than a page-turner. It’s a book that can save lives.” -- Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows “Matt Richtel’s riveting book is narrative nonfiction at its finest. ... This book should be placed in every school and legislative chamber in the country.” -- Jon Huntsman, former governor of Utah “This book does that most amazing of feats: it makes cutting-edge scientific research feel relevant to the choices we make every time we get in a car, sit at a desk, or talk to our friends and family.” -- Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit “A gripping book. ...

-Titulo Original : Self-Compassion: The Proven Power Of Being Kind To Yourself-Fabricante : William Morrow & Company-Descripcion Original: Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind offers expert advice on how to limit self-criticism and offset its negative effects, enabling you to achieve your highest potential and a more contented, fulfilled life. More and more, psychologists are turning away from an emphasis on self-esteem and moving toward self-compassion in the treatment of their patients-and Dr. Neff’s extraordinary book offers exercises and action plans for dealing with every emotionally debilitating struggle, be it parenting, weight loss, or any of the numerous trials of everyday living. Review “Neff’s compassionate tone makes Buddhist principles accessible, and exercises make them applicable in real life.” -- Publishers Weekly “A portable friend to all readers especially but not only women who need to learn that the Golden Rule works only if it’s reversible: We must learn to treat ourselves as well as we wish to treat others.” -- Gloria Steinem “A beautiful book that helps us all see the way to cure the world, one person at a time, starting with yourself. Read it and start the journey.” -- Rosie O’Donnell, talk show host “An original and doable blueprint for improving the quality of your life.” -- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow and Creativity “Neff’s powerful research and her ability to explain how self-compassion affects our everyday lives makes this book a transformative read.” -- Brene Brown, Ph.D., author of The Gifts of Imperfection “This is an important book.

Savor and enjoy!” -- Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., author of Mindsight “Brilliant! Self-compassion is a revolutionary new idea-a better idea-pioneered by the author, Kristin Neff, with profound implications for how to live our lives.” -- Christopher K. Germer, Ph.D., author of The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion From the Back Cover The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we cant seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a Ping-Pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure. Fortunately, there is an alternative to self-esteem that many experts believe is a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. The research of Dr. Kristin Neff and other leading psychologists indicates that people who are compassionate toward their failings and imperfections experience greater well-being than those who repeatedly judge themselves. This book powerfully demonstrates why its so important to be self-compassionate and give yourself the same caring support youd give to a good friend. Using solid empirical research, personal stories, practical exercises, and humor, Dr. Neff-the worlds foremost expert on self-compassion-explains how to heal destructive emotional patterns so that you can be healthier, happier, and more effective.
