Tenia los ojos fijos en el televisor y, sin saber que me estaba cambiando la vida, me aconsejo muy seriamente: “Deberias ir y participar en ese concurso, tu puedes ganar”. Recuerdo la fecha exacta: fue el 28 de agosto de 2010. En la tele de los Estados Unidos, estaban dando el primer episodio de la quinta temporada del certamen de Univision que cambiaria mi vida: Nuestra Belleza Latina. Menos de una semana atras, habia dejado mi pais, la Republica Dominicana, para vivir en los Estados Unidos, llena de sueños, sin dinero y con el deseo inmenso de cumplir una promesa que le habia hecho a mi madre cuando sali de Azua, mi pueblo: que un dia volveria con mucho dinero a nuestra casa, y que en el pueblo me recibirian con una gran caravana. Le prometi a mi mama que yo volveria a Azua de la mano del exito. La realidad, una semana despues de esa promesa, era que yo no tenia ni idea de que iba a hacer en Nueva York y el unico plan era ese que de pronto, y como si nada, se le habia ocurrido a Julie para resolver el dilema con una sentencia que, al fin y al cabo, parecia bastante razonable: no soy tan feita. No. Soy. Tan. Feita. Y podia concursar en Nuestra Belleza Latina. Hasta hoy les juro que recuerdo perfectamente como me fui saboreando de a poco esa frase aparentemente cruel. Y entonces lo vi: iba a entrar al concurso Nuestra Belleza Latina. No solo eso: ¡iba a ganar! Con ese triunfo emprenderia una carrera en el mundo del entretenimiento, en Univision, y viviria el sueño de salir de la pobreza, porque para eso habia venido a los Estados Unidos... Esa conversacion de como iba a salir de la pobreza ya yo la habia tenido muchas veces con Dios alla en mi pueblo. Cuando todos dormian, yo me subia al techo de mi casa sin que nadie se diera cuenta y le decia a Dios: “Óyeme bien lo que te voy a decir. Pero escuchame bien Tu a mi que necesito que seas el complice de mi plan para mejorar mi destino. Tu me vas a poner en mi camino a personas que me llevaran de su mano hacia el exito, que me van a enseñar cuales son mis fortalezas. Esas personas me haran crecer profesionalmente y voy a trabajar mucho para cambiar el destino de ...

En el Choco, la provincia afrolatina donde se crio, tu piel podria ser de cualquier tono y aun serias considerado familia. Pero cuando dejo su comunidad para asistir a la escuela secundaria y la universidad en Medellin, todo cambio. A partir de ese momento, resolvio volverse “sorda” al racismo, decidida a superar el prejuicio, incluso cuando le repetian que los trabajos prominentes de presentador de noticias no eran para ella. Cuando un giro del destino le presento una oportunidad unica en la cadena noticiera Telemundo en Miami, estaba emocionada de comenzar una nueva vida -e identidad- en los Estados Unidos, donde las fronteras raciales, creia, se habian disuelto hace mucho tiempo y la igualdad era la regla. Sin embargo, se enfrento a otro tipo de discriminacion racial como una mujer inmigrante de color que le hablaba en español a la comunidad latinx cada vez mas marginada. En los ultimos nueve años, Ilia ha reportado desde la primera linea de eventos historicos como el huracan Katrina, los terremotos en Mexico, las elecciones presidenciales de los Estados Unidos de 2016 y la crisis pandemica del COVID-19. Ahora, Ilia corre el telon de los altibajos de su extraordinaria vida y carrera. Desde luchas internas personales hasta problemas profesionales analiza como construyo su identidad en medio de la violencia con carga de motivos raciales y la polarizacion politica. Sobre la marcha, ella muestra como ha superado el miedo y enfrentado el odio de cara a cara, todo en nombre de crear un mundo mejor para su joven hija, Anna. Review “Este es el libro de una super mujer. Lo hace todo, desde madre hasta periodista, y existen muy pocas historias de superacion que se acerquen siquiera a la de Ilia. Ponle un reto y lo supera. Y no se como todo lo hace sonriendo, como si fuera lo mas normal. Que suerte la mia de trabajar con ella y ser testigo de esta mujer cambiando al mundo.” -- Jorge Ramos, presentador principal de Noticiero Univision“Esta es la historia de una niñita que crecio con grandes carencias en una humilde casa de madera que se inundaba cada vez que el rio crecia, y que aprendio a luchar y prepararse para llegar a ser la primera afrolatina en conducir el noticiero mas importante en la television en español de los EE. UU. La leccion que Ilia Calderon aqui nos enseña es clara: ¡todo se puede!” -- Maria Antonieta Collins, autora de bestsellers y corresponsal principal de Noticiero Univision About the Author Ilia Calderon es una periodista galardonada del Premio Emmy, copresentadora del programa nocturno principal de Univision, Noticiero Univision, y coanfitriona de la revista de noticias de horario estelar Aqui y Ahora.

Prologo: Ante los ojos del odio PRÓLOGO Ante los ojos del odio Toda mi atencion se concentraba en su rostro. Es lo que recuerdo con mejor claridad a mas de dos años de nuestro encuentro. Ese rostro que se habia enrojecido de furia solo con verme y continuaba alterado, indignado. Los orificios de su nariz se le dilataban con la respiracion agitada que intentaba controlar sin mucho exito. Me respondia rapido, sudoroso, prendido como una mecha, sin dejar hablar a nadie. Y de pronto, lo escuche de sus labios: -Te vamos a quemar. Estabamos en medio de la nada, en una zona rural, remota, y en propiedad...

-Titulo Original : Blood In The Garden The Flagrant History Of The 1990s New York Knicks-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The definitive history of the 1990s New York Knicks, illustrating how Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason resurrected the iconic franchise through oppressive physicality and unmatched grit.For nearly an entire generation, the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. Since 2001, they’ve spent more money, lost more games, and won fewer playoff series than any other NBA team. But during the preceding era, the Big Apple had a club it was madly in love with-one that earned respect not only by winning, but through brute force. The Knicks were always looking for fights, often at the encouragement of Pat Riley. They fought opposing players. They fought each other. Hell, they even occasionally fought their own coaches. The NBA didn’t take kindly to their fighting spirit. Within two years, league officials moved to alter several rules to stop New York from turning its basketball games into bloody mudwrestling matches. Nevertheless, as the 1990s progressed, the Knicks endeared themselves to millions of fans; not for how much they won, but for their colorful cast of characters and their hardworking mentality. Now, through his original reporting and interviews with more than two hundred people, author Chris Herring delves into the origin, evolution, and eventual demise of the iconic club. He takes us inside the locker room, executive boardrooms, and onto the court for the key moments that lifted the club to new heights, and the ones that threatened to send everything crashing down in spectacular fashion. Blood in the Garden is a portrait filled with eye-opening details that have never been shared before, revealing the full story of the franchise in the midst of the NBA’s golden era. And rest assured, no punches will be pulled. Which is just how those rough-and-tumble Knicks would like it. Review “Readers need not love the Knicks-or even possess deep knowledge of professional basketball-to enjoy this book. It throbs with an insider’s perspective…besides the vivid writing, what makes Blood in the Garden so successful is the depth of Mr. Herring’s research, which rests on more than 200 extensive interviews.”-The Wall Street Journal“Armed with behind-the-scenes knowledge culled from more than 200 interviews with players, coaches, and executives, Herring delivers a thrilling narrative that skillfully evokes the intensity and tension of pro basketball. Hoops fans will relish this riveting ride.”-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “It takes a special writer to capture the genius of a hard-nosed, sucker-punching, underachieving franchise that broke as many hearts as it did bones. Chris Herring is as dogged, as brilliant as they come. He has delivered an instant classic with Blood in the Garden. With spectacular detail and rigorous reporting, Herring unearths new information on some of the most complex, most troubling, and most fascinating personalities in NBA history.”-Mirin Fader, New York Times bestselling author of Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP The depth of Herrings reporting is remarkable, leading to a mix of behind-the-scenes stories and hard-core hoops talk that will be catnip to any NBA fan. We get new information on everything from the O.J. Simpson chase to those infamous Heat-Knicks brawls. The 1990s Knicks are an iconic team, and Herrings chronicle of that time is a must-have.-Zach Lowe, NBA Senior Writer, ESPNThe thing thats great about this book is what’s been great about Chris Herrings writing for years: he puts you so far into the story that it feels less like youre just reading something and more like youre experiencing it. Halfway through Blood in the Garden, all I wanted to do was go to the park and start flagrant fouling people on the court.-Shea Serrano, New York Times bestselling author of Basketball (And Other Things) “With one jaw-dropping anecdote after another, Chris Herring presents ...

-Titulo Original : Game On Tempting Twenty-eight (28) (stephanie Plum)-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a new kind of criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude who she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world. Review “Plum remains sassy, outspoken, brave, and definitely one-of-a-kind… a hilariously madcap, action-packed caper filled with crazy twists and some nail-biting suspense. [Game On] finds the irrepressible Stephanie and cohorts in absolutely top form.” -Booklist (starred review)“Serves up a handful of out-loud laughs, a bunch of chuckles and a constant hum of pleasantness. -Toronto Star About the Author Over the last twenty-five years, #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich has written a staggering twenty-eight novels in the Stephanie Plum series. In addition to the Plum novels, Janet has coauthored the New York Times bestselling Fox and O’Hare series, the Knight and Moon series, the Lizzy and Diesel series, the Alexandra Barnaby novels, and the graphic novel, Troublemaker (with her daughter, Alex Evanovich). Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter One CHAPTER ONE The clock on my bedside table said it was 2:00 a.m. Lights were off in my small apartment and my bedroom was totally dark. Something pulled me out of sleep and now I was in bed, awake and terrified. I was listening to someone moving around in my living room. My gun was in the brown bear cookie jar in the kitchen. My cell phone was charging in the bathroom. I kept a two-pound Maglite next to my clock, and at the moment it was the closest I could come to a weapon. My name is Stephanie Plum and I’m a bail bonds enforcement agent. It’s the sort of job that might require self-defense skills like kung fu and eye gouging, but I’m not proficient in either. I coerced my cousin Vinnie into hiring me during a time of desperate unemployment and to date I haven’t migrated on to a better job. I heard the intruder walk into my bedroom and drop something heavy onto the floor. I fought through the panic, clicked my flashlight on, and pinned the beam to a face. I recognized the man and went breathless for several beats before getting my heart under control. “Diesel?” “Yeah. You want to drop the beam a little, so I don’t go blind.” Diesel is over six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude. He has sun-bleached hair that’s thick and unruly, talents that are difficult to explain, and a job that’s similar to mine but on an international level. Hell, for all I knew he worked at an intergalactic level. “You scared the beejeezus out of me,” I said. “What are you doing here?” “I got dropped off here. I’ve got a job in Trenton. Lucky me. That’s sarcasm in case you didn’t figure it out. I’m beat. It was a long trip.” “Where did you come from?” He kicked his shoes off. “Bangkok.” He stripped off his T-shirt and dropped his jeans. I sat up in bed. “What are you doing?” “I’m going to bed. Move over.” “No. No, no, no, no. You aren’t sleeping here.” “I always ...

-Titulo Original : The Eagles Of Heart Mountain A True Story Of Football, Incarceration, And Resistance In World War Ii America-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: “One of Ten Best History Books of 2021.” -Smithsonian Magazine For fans of The Boys in the Boat and The Storm on Our Shores, this impeccably researched, deeply moving, never-before-told “tale that ultimately stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit” (Garrett M. Graff, New York Times bestselling author) about a World War II incarceration camp in Wyoming and its extraordinary high school football team.In the spring of 1942, the United States government forced 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes in California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona and sent them to incarceration camps across the West. Nearly 14,000 of them landed on the outskirts of Cody, Wyoming, at the base of Heart Mountain. Behind barbed wire fences, they faced racism, cruelty, and frozen winters. Trying to recreate comforts from home, they established Buddhist temples and sumo wrestling pits. Kabuki performances drew hundreds of spectators-yet there was little hope. That is, until the fall of 1943, when the camp’s high school football team, the Eagles, started its first season and finished it undefeated, crushing the competition from nearby, predominantly white high schools. Amid all this excitement, American politics continued to disrupt their lives as the federal government drafted men from the camps for the front lines-including some of the Eagles. As the team’s second season kicked off, the young men faced a choice to either join the Army or resist the draft. Teammates were divided, and some were jailed for their decisions. The Eagles of Heart Mountain honors the resilience of extraordinary heroes and the power of sports in a “timely and utterly absorbing account of a country losing its moral way, and a group of its young citizens who never did” (Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind). Review “[A]n absolutely stirring story…rigorous and important.”-The Washington Post Colorful, richly detailed, and deeply human, The Eagles of Heart Mountain mixes a fascinating history of the Japanese in the United States with a uniquely American story about one of the darkest chapters of our modern history. Brads storytelling weaves together politics, race, and a wide cast of characters to show how sports carried a community of mistreated prisoners through World War II, a tale that ultimately stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. -Garrett M. Graff, New York Times bestselleing author of The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11A marvelous book. Through dogged research and fluid storytelling, Pearson excavates an appalling chapter in U.S. history, and finds, in the story of the Eagles, a rousing parable of dignity in the face of adversity, of redemption, and of hope. -Patrick Radden Keefe, New York Times bestselling author of Say Nothing This is an underdog story for the ages. Ripped from their homes by racist officials, Japanese-American kids learn to play football in a remote Wyoming concentration camp-and soon become an unstoppable force.

-Titulo Original : Resistance A Songwriters Story Of Hope, Change, And Courage-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A timely and passionate call to action for engaging with our current political moment, from the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos.Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-9/11 album, Scarlet’s Walk, to 2017’s Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. From her time as a teenager playing hotel bars in Washington, DC, for the politically powerful to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career, Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures-and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches us to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and Time’s Up, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world. Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice-and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos’s canon-Resistance is for anyone determined to steer the world back in the right direction. Review “Soulful. . . . This memoir and call to action will delight Amos’s many fans.” Publishers Weekly“A dramatically inspired volume of lyrics and legacy presenting Amos as an artist, an activist, and a sharp, thoughtful musician with a commanding voice. A profound autobiographical playlist and radically political call to action primarily for Amos fans.” Kirkus Reviews“Thoughtful . . .

-Titulo Original : Adrenalized Life, Def Leppard, And Beyond-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: A revelatory, redemptive, and “wild...juicy” (Rolling Stone) memoir from the lead guitarist of the legendary hard rock band Def Leppard-the first ever written by one of its members-chronicling the band’s extraordinary rise to superstardom and how they maintained it for three decades.Meet Phil Collen. You may know him as the lead guitarist in Def Leppard, whose signature song “Pour Some Sugar on Me” is still as widely enjoyed as when it debuted in 1988. Maybe you’ve heard of him as the rock star that gave up alcohol and meat more than twenty-five years ago. Most likely you’ve seen him shirtless-in photos or in real life-flaunting his impeccably toned body to appreciative female fans. But it wasn’t always like this. Collen worked his way up from nothing, teaching himself guitar from scratch and slogging it out in London-based pub bands for years; that is, until Def Leppard formed and transformed from unknowns to icons, from playing openers in near-empty arenas to headlining in those same stadiums and selling them out every night. But as Collen discovered, true overnight success is a myth. Like the other band members, he had to struggle and fight his way to the top; in the end, he says, “our work ethic saved us.” Just as it still does. Adrenalized is an amazing underdog tale featuring a bunch of ordinary working-class lads who rose to mega-stardom, overcoming incredible obstacles-such as drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in a car crash and the tragic death of guitarist Steve Clark, Phil’s musical soul mate. Featuring personal, never-before-seen photos of Collen and his band mates on stage and off, Adrenalized is a fascinating account of the failures, triumphs, challenges, and rock-solid dedication it takes to make dreams come true. About the Author Phil Collen is the lead guitarist of the legendary rock band Def Leppard. He has been a vegetarian for thirty-one years, alcohol-free for twenty-eight years, and vegan for over four years, busting the myth of the classic rock star stereotype.Chris Epting is the author of many books, including Led Zeppelin Crashed Here, All I Really Need to Know I Learned from KISS, and Hello, It’s Me-Dispatches From a Pop Culture Junkie...

Miss O’Dell 1Derek Taylor February-March 1968 I was sprawled out on the sofa in my Hollywood apartment, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, watching a game show on the black-and-white, thirteen-inch TV, smoking a joint, and getting really annoyed. My date was almost two hours late. I was alone in the apartment because my roommates, both high school friends from Tucson, were out partying. Where the hell was he? When the phone finally rang around 10:00 p.m., I didn’t try to hide the fact that I was upset. “Chris! It’s Allan.” He sounded a little out of breath, and from the background noise I guessed he was in a restaurant somewhere. “Allan, where have you been?” I said. “You said you’d be here two hours ago.” “I know, I’m sorry, but look, I’m at the La Brea Inn with some friends and there’s someone here you have to meet.” Allan was talking fast. “His name is Derek Taylor, he used to work for the Beatles, he’s doing publicity for A&M Records, and, Chris, you just have to come down here and meet him.” “I don’t want to go out. I thought you were coming over here.” I was still annoyed with Allan, and I didn’t believe that this guy Derek knew the Beatles. The Beatles! Who knew anyone who worked for the Beatles? He was probably just one of those people hanging out on the periphery who once met someone who once knew someone who claimed they were once best friends with someone who worked for the Beatles. “Chris, you’ll really like him.” ...

-Titulo Original : Punk Rock Blitzkrieg My Life As A Ramone-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: The “entertaining and enlightening” (Stephen King) final word on the genius and mischief of the Ramones, told by the man who created the beat behind their iconic music and lived to tell about it. When punk rock reared its spiky head in the early seventies, Marc Bell had the best seat in the house. Already a young veteran of the prototype American metal band Dust, Bell took residence in artistic, seedy Lower Manhattan, where he played drums in bands that would shape rock music for decades to come, including Wayne County, who pioneered transsexual rock, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids, who directly inspired the entire early British punk scene. If punk had royalty, in 1978 Marc became part of it when he was knighted “Marky Ramone” by Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee of the iconoclastic Ramones. The band of tough misfits were a natural fit for Marky, who dressed punk before there was punk, and who brought his “blitzkrieg” style of drumming as well as the studio and stage experience the band needed to solidify its lineup. Together, they changed the world. But Marky Ramone changed, too. The epic wear and tear of a dysfunctional group (and the Ramones were a step beyond dysfunction) endlessly crisscrossing the country and the world in an Econoline-practically a psychiatric ward on wheels-drove Marky from partying to alcoholism. When his life started to look more out of control then Dee Dee’s, he knew he had a problem. Marky left music in the mid-eighties to enter recovery and eventually returned to help the Ramones finally receive their due as one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time. Covering in unflinching detail the cult film Rock ’N’ Roll High School to “I Wanna Be Sedated” to Marky’s own struggles, Punk Rock Blitzkrieg is an authentic and always honest look at the people who reinvented rock music, and not a moment too soon. About the Author Born Marc Bell, Marky Ramone, a Brooklyn native, joined the Ramones in 1978. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 along with Johnny, Joe, Dee Dee, and Tommy, and has received both a Grammy and an MTV Lifetime Achievement Award.

Punk Rock Blitzkrieg 1 THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUM My father’s father, Peter Bell, came to America from Holland in 1920 along with my grandmother. My father was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, on August 11, 1931, and christened Peter, after my grandfather. My grandfather was a chef at the Copacabana for ten years before becoming the head chef at the “21” Club. The Copa, as it was known, was located on East Sixtieth Street in Manhattan and was owned by mob boss Frank Costello. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin made their debuts there. If you were a singer, bandleader, or comedian in the forties and fifties and made it to the Copa, you had made it, period. My grandfather worked at “21” for eighteen years, right through its heyday. Established during Prohibition and located on West Fifty-Second Street in Manhattan, you could always spot the place thanks to all the painted statues of jockeys above the front entrance. Everyone who was anyone ate at “21.” My grandfather got to meet and hang out with stars including Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Gleason, and Judy Garland. These weren’t just a bunch of tall tales-my grandfather had the pictures to prove it! Whenever we visited my grandparents’ house, I would just stare at those photographs in awe that my grandfather actually knew the same people I saw on TV and in the movies. In 1944, my father and his parents moved from Hoboken to Brooklyn. My dad went to PS 217 elementary school on Coney Island Avenue, and that’s where he met my mother. My mother’s maiden name was Gertrude Joest. Most people called her Trudy. Her mother, Johanna, was French, and her father, Julius, was German. They immigrated to America in 1923 and ...

-Titulo Original : A Man Called Ove: A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Read the New York Times bestseller that has taken the world by storm! In this “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations. A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review)...

-Titulo Original : Anxious People: A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller A People Book of the Week, Book of the Month Club selection, and Best of Fall in Good Housekeeping, PopSugar, The Washington Post, New York Post, Shondaland, CNN, and more! “[A] quirky, big-hearted novel…Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure.” —People From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove comes a charming, poignant novel about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined. Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. Rich with Fredrik Backman’s “pitch-perfect dialogue and an unparalleled understanding of human nature” (Shelf Awareness), Anxious People is an ingeniously constructed story about the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope—the things that save us, even in the most anxious times...

-Titulo Original : Everything Is Fine A Memoir-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Grief, mental illness, and the bonds of family are movingly explored in this extraordinary memoir “suffused with emotional depth and intellectual inquiry” (Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises) as a writer delves into the tragedy of his mother’s violent death at the hands of his brother who struggled with schizophrenia. Perfect for fans of An Unquiet Mind and The Bright Hour. Vince Granata remembers standing in front of his suburban home in Connecticut the day his mother and father returned from the hospital with his three new siblings in tow. He had just finished scrawling their names in red chalk on the driveway: Christopher, Timothy, and Elizabeth. Twenty-three years later, Vince was a thousand miles away when he received the news that would change his life-Tim, propelled by unchecked schizophrenia, had killed their mother in their childhood home. Devastated by the grief of losing his mother, Vince is also consumed by an act so incomprehensible that it overshadows every happy memory of life growing up in his seemingly idyllic middle-class family. “In candid, smoothly unspooling prose, Granata reconstructs life and memory from grief, writing a moving testament to the therapy of art, the power of record, and his immutable love for his family” (Booklist). Review Although he writes of an unimaginable family tragedy, Vincent Granata’s Everything is Fine reads like a testament to life itself. Suffused with emotional depth and intellectual inquiry, this is a writer pushing the very limits of what language and love can capture: the suffering, certainly, but more so the astonishing power of forgiveness and survival. This book will never leave you.” -Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us “Granatas memoir of profound family tragedy is a monument to the work of remembering…In candid, smoothly unspooling prose, Granata reconstructs life and memory from grief, writing a moving testament to the therapy of art, the power of record, and his immutable love for his family.” -Booklist“Riveting…Granata writes with compassion, reflection and unsparing honesty.” -BookPage (starred review)“Moving…a memoir of an entire family-and a tragedy that forever changed its members.” -New York Post“Tender, emotional.” -PeopleCandid and carefully argued, Granata’s memoir helps us better understand the horrors of mental illness. -Kirkus ReviewGranata’s skills, as a writer and former English teacher, shine here; he not only brings a personal perspective to living alongside a family member with mental illness, but also shows that there isn’t a right way to grieve. A welcome memoir. -Library Journal About the Author Vince Granata received his BA in history from Yale University and his MFA in creative writing from American University. He has received fellowships from the Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts, the I-Park Foundation, and the Ucross Foundation, and residencies from PLAYA and the MacDowell Colony.

I was four and a half, standing on our driveway next to where the gutter spilled rainwater off our garage. In chalk, I wrote his whole name, TIMOTHY. I wrote all of their names, my new siblings, CHRISTOPHER, TIMOTHY, ELIZABETH, triplets, etched in birth order. I was eager to show off, my whole fist around the chalk, scraping my knuckles when I thickened each letter. When I was done with their names, I held a chalk pebble, a handful of red dust. I needed a new piece to finish my message. WELCOME HOME MOMMY. They were coming home for...

-Titulo Original : The Girl Who Escaped Isis This Is My Story-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Named a “Best Book of the Year” by New York Post “Farida Khalaf’s story is harrowing but crucial-especially when it comes to understanding what ISIS actually is and does.” -Glamour “As gripping as it is appalling…a compelling testament to the suffering of ordinary people caught up in violence far beyond their control-and to the particularly terrible price it exacts from women.” -The GuardianA young Yazidi woman was living a normal, sheltered life in northern Iraq during the summer of 2014 when her entire world was upended: her village was attacked by ISIS. All of the men in her town were killed and the women were taken into slavery. This is Farida Khalaf’s story. In unprecedented detail, Farida describes her world as it was-at nineteen, she was living at home with her brothers and parents, finishing her schooling and looking forward to becoming a math teacher-and the hell it became. Held in a slave market in Syria and sold into the homes of several ISIS soldiers, she stubbornly attempts resistance at every turn. Farida is ultimately brought to an ISIS training camp in the middle of the desert, where she plots an against-all-odds escape for herself and five other girls. A riveting firsthand account of life in captivity and a courageous flight to freedom, this astonishing memoir is also Farida’s way of bearing witness, and of ensuring that ISIS does not succeed in crushing her spirit. Her bravery, resilience, and hope in the face of unimaginable violence will fascinate and inspire. Review “Farida Khalafs story is harrowing but crucial-especially when it comes to understanding what ISIS actually is and does.” GlamourThe subject matter is difficult, but [Farida Khalafs] courage and resilience is powerful. Bustle“As gripping as it is appalling…a compelling testament to the suffering of ordinary people caught up in violence far beyond their control-and to the particularly terrible price it exacts from women.” The GuardianThe book comes at a critical moment as ISIS tightens its hold on the estimated 3,000 Yazidi women and children still in its grasp… Even in hiding, Khalaf demonstrates her incredible courage. The courage it took to survive and, now, to tell her powerful story. New York Daily News“An incredible account of what global jihad looks like from the inside.” New York Post“Farida recounts the horrors she and the other young women endured in captivity. Her story highlights the suffering caused by the Islamic State’s flawed interpretation of the Koran and the group’s brutal intolerance of peaceful religions.” Washington Post“Farida’s story cuts through the statistics and the geopolitics to tell of a single life changed forever by a war …It is a story of loss of innocence but also discovery of an amazing inner strength that drives Farida to survive the nightmare and to bear witness to what happened.” New York Journal of Books“The Girl Who Escaped ISIS is [Farida Khalaf’s] incredible account of captivity and describes how she defied the odds and escaped a life of torture, in order to share her story with the world,” Book ReporterA mesmerizing study of human cruelty and a brave depiction of the monsters that arise when reason sleeps. The Sunday Times (UK)Shattering, brave, angering account. The Bookseller (UK)A powerful description of a world teared apart. The New Statesman (UK)A vital read. Hot Press (UK)“A shattering, brave, enraging book but also a stirring story of survival.” Sunday Express (UK)“How much can a single person endure?

An amazing story, that hurts - and that encourages everyone never to keep quiet or to give in.” -- Frank Heinrich, Speaker of ...

-Titulo Original : I Have Something To Tell You A Memoir-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW WITH A NEW PREFACE A moving, hopeful, and refreshingly candid memoir by the husband of Pete Buttigieg about growing up gay in his small Midwestern town, his relationship with Pete, and his hope for America’s future.Throughout the past year, teacher Chasten Glezman Buttigieg has emerged on the national stage, having left his classroom in South Bend, Indiana, to travel cross-country in support of his husband, former mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Pete’s groundbreaking presidential campaign. Through Chasten’s joyful, witty social media posts, the public gained a behind-the-scenes look at his life with Pete on the trail-moments that might have ranged from the mundane to the surprising, but that were always heartfelt. Chasten has overcome a multitude of obstacles to get here. In this moving, uplifting memoir, he recounts his journey to finding acceptance as a gay man. He recalls his upbringing in rural Michigan, where he knew he was different, where indeed he felt different from his father and brothers. He recounts his coming out and how he’s healed from revealing his secret to his family, friends, community, and the world. And he tells the story of meeting his boyfriend, whom he would marry and who would eventually become a major Democratic leader. With unflinching honesty, unflappable courage, and great warmth, Chasten Buttigieg relays his experience of growing up in America and embracing his true self, while inspiring others to do the same. Review [Buttigiegs] book reveals an emotional honesty about his life story, which includes sexual assault, homelessness, estrangement from his family of origin and bullying. His candor is refreshing, and it extends the success he had in humanizing his husband on the campaign trail. . . . Chasten Buttigiegs story is powerful and inspiring. -The Washington Post“I Have Something to Tell You is an inspiring story about Chasten’s journey of self-discovery. On the campaign trail, I saw the power of his voice to help reshape the political climate of America. While recounting his moments coming to terms with his true self, he inspires others to do the same. This must-read memoir is a refreshing voice that gives hope to a new generation of political leaders.” -Dr. Jill BidenWitty and sharp, mischievous and no-nonsense, and pointedly political. . . . Chasten writes candidly about contemplating suicide as a gay teenager, the intensity of participating in a history-making presidential campaign, and the long-lasting effects of sexual assault. . . . Chasten isnt just married to a gifted politician. Hes become one himself. -The Daily Beast“Chasten Buttigieg is a transformative political spouse, just as his husband was a transformative candidate. His life story is a fascinating one, and he approaches his unique, head-spinning experience with humor, heart, and humility. Something tells me we’ll be seeing much more of him in the future.” -Katie Couric“Chasten Buttigieg’s I Have Something to Tell You highlights how one person’s story and active engagement in fighting for change can be so critical in mobilizing others to see themselves in their future. Chasten’s wit, honesty, and sincerity shine throughout this book, as he tells a story that is both his own yet familiar to so many people across the country. And it reminds us that by telling our stories and showing up for one another, we can empower others to find value in telling their stories as well.” -Alphonso David, President of the Human Rights Campaign“I Have Something to Tell You is an inspiring, emotional, surprisingly candid journey from rural Michigan’s fishing holes to some of the most influential spaces in American politics. Chastens story is a testament to the mighty tools our personal struggles can bestow, and a timely example of how we might use those tools to help build a better, stronger, fairer future.” -Dustin Lance Black“Chasten fearlessly recounts his story-whic...

-Titulo Original : Prince Philip Revealed-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Discover the full and fascinating story of Prince Philip-one of the most important, elusive, and intriguing royals-in “the first major biography of Philip in more than thirty years” (Vanity Fair) written by the renowned royal family expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine. The son of Greek and Danish royalty, consort to the queen, and the grandfather of Princes Harry and William, Prince Philip was at the heart of the royal family for decades-yet he remained an enigma to many. Now, Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, brings her decades of experience covering the royal family to this “authoritative and thorough” (Kirkus Reviews) biography of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, and father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the next three kings of England. From his early childhood in Paris among aristocrats and his mother’s battle with schizophrenia to his military service during World War II and marriage to Elizabeth in 1947, Seward chronicles Philip’s life and reveals his many faces-as a father, a philanthropist, a philanderer, and a statesman. Though it took years for Philip to find his place in a royal court that initially distrusted him, he remained one of the most complex, powerful, yet confounding members of Britain’s royal family until his death in April 2021. Entertaining, eye-opening, and informative, Prince Philip Revealed gets to the heart of his multi-faceted character and his crucial role in shaping the monarchy in the twenty-first century. Review “An eye-opening take on royal relations.” -Town and Country About the Author Ingrid Seward is the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, and one of the most prominent and respected writers on the British royal family, with more than a dozen books on the subject to her credit, including The Queens Speech, My Husband and I and Prince Philip Revealed.

Prologue Prologue I first met the Duke of Edinburgh in the late 1970s. He was in his mid-fifties and no longer the dashing polo-playing prince, simply a man in a suit.
