together in one collection, are Lisa Scottoline's wildly popular Philadelphia Inquirer columns. In her column, Lisa lets her hair down, roots and all, to show the humorous side of life from a woman's perspective. The Sunday column debuted in 2007 and on the day it started, Lisa wrote, "I write novels, so I usually have 100,000 words to tell a story. In a column there's only 700 words. I can barely say hello in 700 words. I'm Italian." The column gained momentum and popularity. Word of mouth spread, and readers demanded a collection. Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog is that collection. Seventy vignettes. Vintage Scottoline. In this collection, you'll laugh about: o Being caught braless in the emergency room o Betty and Veronica's Life Lessons for Girls o A man's most important body part o Interrupting as an art form o A religion men and women can worship o Real estate ads as porn o Spanx are public enemy number one o And so much more about life, love, family, pets, and the pursuit of jeans that actually fit!A mind spread out on the ground
By Alicia Elliott. 2019
In an urgent and visceral work that asks essential questions about Native people in North America while drawing on intimate…
details of her own life and experience with intergenerational trauma, Alicia Elliott offers indispensable insight and understanding to the ongoing legacy of colonialism. What are the links between depression, colonialism and loss of language--both figurative and literal? How does white privilege operate in different contexts? How do we navigate the painful contours of mental illness in loved ones without turning them into their sickness? How does colonialism operate on the level of literary criticism? A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is Alicia Elliott's attempt to answer these questions and more. In the process, she engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, sexuality, love, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, writing and representation. Elliott makes connections both large and small between the past and present, the personal and political--from overcoming a years-long history with head lice to the way Native writers are treated within the Canadian literary industry; her unplanned teenage pregnancy to the history of dark matter and how it relates to racism in the court system; her childhood diet of Kraft dinner to how systematic oppression is linked to depression in Native communities. With deep consideration and searing prose, Elliott extends far beyond her own experiences to provide a candid look at our past, an illuminating portrait of our present and a powerful tool for a better future.

In this profoundly honest and examined memoir about returning to Iowa to care for her ailing parents, the star of…
Orange Is the New Black and bestselling author of Born with Teeth takes us on an unexpected journey of loss, betrayal, and the transcendent nature of a daughter's love for her parents. They say you can't go home again. But when her father is diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer and her mother with atypical Alzheimer's, New York-based actress Kate Mulgrew returns to her hometown in Iowa to spend time with her parents and care for them in the time they have left. The months Kate spends with her parents in Dubuque-by turns turbulent, tragic, and joyful-lead her to reflect on each of their lives and how they shaped her own. Those ruminations are transformed when, in the wake of their deaths, Kate uncovers long-kept secrets that challenge her understanding of the unconventional Irish Catholic household in which she was raised. Breathtaking and powerful, laced with the author's irreverent wit, How to Forget is a considered portrait of a mother and a father, an emotionally powerful memoir that demonstrates how love fuses children and parents, and an honest examination of family, memory, and indelible loss.The Love Prison Made and Unmade: My Story
By Ebony Roberts. 2019
With echoes of Just Mercy and An American Marriage, a remarkable memoir of a woman who falls in love with…
an incarcerated man, and the toll prison takes not only on those behind bars, but on their families and relationships. Ebony's parents were high school sweethearts and married young. By the time Ebony was born, the marriage was disintegrating. The little girl witnessed her parents' brutal verbal and physical fights, fueled by her father's alcoholism. Then her father tried to kill his mother. At five, Ebony was sexually assaulted. When she tried to tell, her voice was not heard. Growing up, those experiences drastically affected the way Ebony viewed herself and set the pattern for her future romantic relationships. Despite being an intelligent, educated, and strong-minded woman, she was drawn to bad-boys: men who cheated; men who verbally abused her; men who disappointed her. Fed up, she cut off her hair and swore to wait for the partner God chose for her. Then she met Shaka Senghor. Though she felt an intense spiritual connection, Ebony struggled with the idea that this man behind bars for murder could be the good love God wanted for her. Through letters and visits, she and Shaka fell deeply in love. After he was released they had a son, and Shaka was embraced by Oprah Winfrey and wrote a New York Times bestselling memoir. Their lives had been transformed-the worst should have been behind them. But Shaka's release was the beginning of the end of their love story. Traumatized by having doors shut in his face, Shaka became depressed and emotionally detached. His struggles to adjust to freedom would irrevocably damage their relationship. The Love Prison Made is heartfelt and insightful. It reveals powerful lessons about love, sacrifice, courage, and forgiveness; of living your highest principles and learning not to judge someone by their worst acts. Ultimately, it is a stark reminder of the emotional cost of American justice on human lives-the partners, wives, children, and friends-beyond the prison walls.Modern Manhood: Conversations About the Complicated World of Being a Good Man Today
By Cleo Stiller. 2019
Emmy and Peabody Award-nominated health reporter Cleo Stiller's fun(ny) and informative collection of advice and perspectives about what it means…
to be a good guy in the era of "toxic masculinity" and MeToo.Here are a couple of self-evident truths: The Harvey Weinsteins of the world need to go, sexual assault is wrong, and women and men should be equal. If you're a man and disagree with any of the aforementioned, then this book isn't for you. But if you agree-you're probably one of the "good guys." That said, you might also be feeling frustrated, exasperated, and perhaps even skeptical about the current national conversation surrounding MeToo and toxic masculinity (among many other things). You've likely found yourself in countless experiences or conversations lately where the situation feels gray, at best. You have a lot to say, but you're afraid to say it and worried that one wrong move will land you in the hot seat. From money and sex to dating and work and everything in between-it can all be so confusing! And when do we start talking about solutions instead of putting each other down? In Modern Manhood, health reporter Cleo Stiller sheds light on all the "gray areas" out there, using conversations that real men and women are having with their friends, their dates, their family, and themselves. Free of judgment, preaching, and sugar-coating, Modern Manhood is engaging, provocative, and, ultimately, a great resource for gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to be a "good man" today.Spawning generations: rants and reflections on growing up with LGBTQ+ parents /
By Zook Epstein-Fine. 2018
As queerspawn, we have often presented our lives to conform to other people's expectations of what has been difficult for…
us, and what we have risen above. We have felt the pressure to be perfect in order to prove to the skeptics, the disbelievers, the pessimists, the straight-up haters, that we are a social experiment gone 'right,' producing 'well-adjusted' children. This anthology is about carving out a space for our voices. It is an attempt to create space for our stories without the pressures of having to conform to a narrative that demands perfection, that demands proving to on-lookers, both outside of and within queer communities, that we turned out 'all right.' If you are looking for that narrative in this collection, you won't find it. Instead you will find voices that ask: What does it mean to be 'well-adjusted' in a world that teaches us to lie about our imperfections and to believe that we are alone in those imperfections? What does it means to be 'well adjusted' in a world that is ripe with problems and fraught with violence? What does it mean to be resilient in a world that will not allow us to reveal our imperfections for fear of putting our family's safety at risk? We are in fact, and all at once, resilient, imperfect, and fiercely protective of our families. We exist in a world of grey and this anthology is a reflection of our actual experiences, airbrushed for no one - at times humorous, light, joyous, prideful, and hopeful, at other times sad, and full of grief, guilt, shame, denial, resentment, and anger. 2018.Dying well: the prospect for growth at the end of life
