The Chilbury Ladies’ ChoirA Novel

Jennifer RyanPublicist: Dyana Messina | 212- 572- 2098 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

Through letters and journals, The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir unfolds the lives of five members of a village choir during World War II as they band together to survive on the English home front.

The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir tells the story of a female- only choir in an English village during World War II. Initially closed, as all its men had gone to war, the choir resurrects itself as a

“ladies group” when a charismatic music teacher emboldens the village’s women to carry on singing in the name of national pride and wartime effort. We come to know the home- front struggles of five members of this unforgettable outfit: a widow wracked with worry over her only son off at the front; the elder daughter of a local scion drawn to a rakish and mysterious artist; her younger sister, pining over an impossible crush; a young Jewish refugee from Czechoslovakia, hiding a secret about her family; and a conniving midwife plotting to outrun her seedy past. In turns funny, charming, and heart- wrenching, this ensemble novel illuminates the true strength of women on the home front in a village of indomitable spirit.

On EdgeA Journey Through Anxiety

Andrea PetersenPublicist: Sarah Breivogel | 212- 572- 2722 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A wry, sympathetic, bracingly honest account of living with anxiety, coupled with deep reportage on the science of anxiety disorders.

Andrea Petersen was first diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at the age of 20, but she later realized that she had been experiencing panic attacks since childhood. Although having a name for her terrifying physical symptoms (a racing heart, difficulty breathing, and more) and fears was an enormous relief, identifying it was only the beginning of a journey to understand it—one that took her from New England mountaintops to the back of a motorbike in Vietnam as she refused to let anxiety rule her life.

In On Edge, Petersen harnesses her personal experience and expertise as a health reporter to explore the biological mechanisms of anxiety and the groundbreaking research that might point the way to new treatments. She excavates the role of genetics and the environment in mental illness by visiting with top neuroscientists, and by tracing her family history—from her grandmother, who, plagued by paranoia, once tried to burn down her own house, to her young daughter, in whom Petersen sees shades of herself. Along the way, she also illuminates the differences between anxiety in men and women, and introduces us to the people whose support has allowed her to make her life her own.

Portraits of CourageA Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors

George W. BushPublicist: Carisa Hays | 212- 782- 9277 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A vibrant collection of oil paintings and related stories by President George W. Bush honoring the courage and sacrifice of America’s military and veterans. With forewords by former First Lady Laura Bush and General Peter Pace, 16th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Growing out of President Bush’s own outreach and the ongoing work of the George W. Bush Institute, Portraits of Courage brings together 66 full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our nation with honor since 9/11—and whom the President has come to know personally since leaving office.

Each painting in this meticulously produced hardcover volume is accompanied by the inspiring story of the veteran depicted, written by the President. Readers can see the faces of those who answered the nation’s call and learn from their bravery on the battlefield, their journeys to recovery, and the continued leadership and contributions they are making as civilians. It is President Bush’s hope that these stories of courage and resilience will honor our men and women in uniform, highlight their family and caregivers who bear the burden of their sacrifice, and help Americans understand how we can support our veterans and empower them to succeed.

President Bush will donate his net author proceeds from PORTRAITS OF COURAGE to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, a non-profit organization whose Military Service Initiative works to ensure that post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life with a focus on gaining meaningful employment and overcoming the invisible wounds of war.

The InkblotsHermann Rorschach, His Iconic Test, and the Power of Seeing

Damion SearlsPublicist: Liz Esman | 212- 572- 6049 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

The captivating, untold story of Hermann Rorschach and his inkblots, which have shaped our view of human personality and become a cultural fixture.

In 1917, working alone in a Swiss asylum, Hermann Rorschach devised an experiment to probe the human mind. For years he had grappled with the theories of Freud and Jung while also absorbing the aesthetic of a new generation of artists. He had come to believe that who we are is less a matter of what we say, as Freud thought, than what we see.

Rorschach’s test, a set of 10 carefully designed inkblots, quickly made its way to America, where it took on a life of its own. In The Inkblots, Damion Searls draws on unpublished letters and diaries and a cache of previously unknown interviews with Rorschach’s family and friends to tell the unlikely story of the creation, reinvention, and remarkable endurance of the 20th century’s most visionary synthesis of art and science.

The Crenshaw Six are a small but up- and- coming gang in South Central LA who have recently been drawn into a war between drug cartels. To outsiders, the Crenshaw Six appear to be led by a man named Garcia . . . but what no one has figured out is that the gang’s real leader is Garcia’s girlfriend, a brilliant young woman named Lola. Lola has mastered playing the role of submissive girlfriend, and in the man’s world she inhabits she is consistently underestimated. But in truth she is much smarter— and tougher and more ruthless— than any of the men around her, and as the gang is sucked into a world of betrayal and violence, her skills and leadership become their only hope of survival.

The GatekeepersHow the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency

Chris WhipplePublicist: Sarah Breivogel | 212- 572- 2722 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

The first in- depth look at how the American presidency has hinged on the effectiveness of its chiefs of staff.

What do Dick Cheney and Rahm Emanuel have in common? Aside from possessing polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United States. The chiefs, or “presidents’ gatekeepers,” wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond: they decide who enters the Oval Office, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS’s agenda, and— most crucially— are first in line to our nation’s leader. Award- winning journalist Chris Whipple demonstrates the surprising extent to which these appointed tenures have set the tone for our political climate. Through extensive, intimate interviews with all 20 living chiefs of staff and 2 former presidents, The Gatekeepers pulls back the curtain to expose how America’s levers of power are operated by these advisors, and what each appointment reveals about its respective president.

Scars of IndependenceAmerica’s Violent Birth

Holger HoockPublicist: Sarah Grimm | 212- 782- 8637 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A magisterial new work that rewrites the story of America’s founding.

When we think of the American Revolution, we think of brave patriots resisting a tyrannical ruler. It’s a stirring narrative, and one the Founders encouraged after the war. But as Holger Hoock argues, the truth is far more complex: The Revolution was not only a high- minded battle over principles, but also a profoundly violent civil war. In Scars of Independence, Hoock writes the violence back into the story: American Patriots tortured Loyalists and imprisoned them in Connecticut mines; British troops massacred enemy soldiers, raped colonial women, and tortured prisoners; and Washington’s army waged a genocidal campaign against the Iroquois. For centuries, we have whitewashed this history. Hoock forces a more honest appraisal, and in so doing, presents a new origins story that will spark debate for years to come.

In 2022, Jewish Americans face an increasingly unsafe landscape. Amid this fraught climate, the Jacobson family gathers in Los Angeles for Passover, and the family is coming apart at the seams. Mo, Edith, and Jacob find themselves in various states of crisis, the result, each claims, of a lifetime of mistreatment by their father, Julian. Years of resentment reach a climax as the siblings debate whether they will go through with the real reason for their reunion: an ill- considered plot to murder their father and end his tyranny once and for all. That is, if they can put their bickering, grudges, festering relationships with their partners, and distrust of one another to the side long enough to act. And God help them if their mother finds out . . .

A gritty, funny, and moving debut novel that explores salvation, shame, and the legacy of Ireland’s 20th-century attitudes toward sex and family. Winner of the 2016 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Desmond Elliott Prize.

Lisa McInerney quietly explores money, violence, and the unbreakable bonds of family in telling the story of one messy murder and its effects on the lives of five misfits who exist on the fringes of Ireland’s post-crash society.

Ryan is a 15-year-old drug dealer desperate not to turn out like his alcoholic father, Tony, whose obsession with his unhinged next-door neighbor threatens to ruin him and his family. Georgie is a prostitute whose willingness to feign a religious conversion has dangerous repercussions, while Maureen, the accidental murderer, has returned to Cork after 40 years in exile to discover that Jimmy, the son she was forced to give up years before, has grown into the most fearsome gangster in the city. In seeking atonement for the murder and a multitude of other perceived sins, Maureen threatens to destroy everything her son has worked so hard for, while her actions risk bringing the intertwined lives of the Irish underworld into the spotlight.

A Mother’s ReckoningLiving in the Aftermath of Tragedy

Sue KleboldPublicist: Carisa Hays | 212- 782- [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they would kill 12 students and a teacher and wound 24 others before taking their own lives. The New York Times bestseller now in paperback, with a new preface by the author.

In A Mother’s Reckoning, Sue Klebold recounts, based on her recollections, her daily journals, and the difficult and harrowing writings and videos her son Dylan left behind, the days and months leading up to the tragic shooting at Columbine High School.

In large measure, this candid and unflinching narrative was written to explore how Sue and others close to Dylan missed potential 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 mothers and families in terms of recognizing the signs that might get others the help they need? In an age when the number of mass shootings has escalated to unprecedented levels, is there something we as parents and concerned citizens and community members can do to help our children and prevent such senseless tragedies? With fresh wounds from Newtown and Charleston, never has the need or yearning for insight and understanding been more urgent.

Author profits from the book will be donated to research and to charitable foundations focusing on mental health issues.

SUE KLEBOLD is the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the two shooters at Columbine High School in 1999, a tragedy that saddened and galvanized the nation.

EvictedPoverty and Profit in the American City

Matthew DesmondPublicist: Penny Simon | 865- 675- 1705 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

From Harvard sociologist Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America. The New York Times bestseller now in paperback.

Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, rental evictions used to be rare. Today, most poor families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In Evicted, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we witness the human cost of America’s vast inequality—and people’s determination and intelligence in the face of hardship. Through the stories of eight families, this book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

S U M M A R Y

A brilliantly plotted, relentlessly surprising science- fiction thriller from the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy. The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback.

Jason Dessen is walking home through the chilly Chicago streets one night, looking forward to a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with his wife, Daniela, and their son, Charlie—when his reality shatters.

It starts with a man in a mask kidnapping him at gunpoint, for reasons Jason can’t begin to fathom—what would anyone want with an ordinary physics professor?—and grows even more terrifying from there, as Jason’s abductor injects him with some unknown drug and watches while he loses consciousness.

When Jason awakes, he’s in a lab, strapped to a gurney—and a man he’s never seen before is cheerily greeting him “Welcome back!”

Jason soon learns that in this world he’s woken up to, his house is not his house. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And someone is hunting him.

Are You AnybodyA Memoir

Jeffrey TamborPublicist: Tammy Blake | 212- 572- 2542 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

From the beloved Emmy and Golden Globe Award– winning actor and star of Transparent, Arrested Development, and The Larry Sanders Show, a collection of humorous, autobiographical essays.

It’s rare that an actor embodies even one memorable character over the arc of a career. Jeffrey Tambor has managed to create three, beginning with Hank “Hey Now!” Kingsley on The Larry Sanders Show, the series created by Garry Shandling, Jeffrey’s first mentor in television. He went on to find two more show creators, Mitch Hurwitz of Arrested Development and Jill Soloway of Transparent, who shared a love of actors and taught him a lot about acting along the way. Are You Anybody is Tambor’s chance to discuss his creative process and immense accomplishments from a life lived onscreen. Drawing from his formative childhood years, in which he describes himself as a fat Hungarian- Jewish kid with a lisp and a depressive father, to how he drew inspiration from his life to create these characters, Tambor’s memoir is funny, insightful, and uplifting, touching on comedy and the enduring chutzpah required to make it through life.

A U T H O R B I O

JEFFREY TAMBOR is an accomplished actor known for his unforgettable roles on The Larry Sanders Show, Arrested Development, and his Emmy Award– winning performance on Transparent. Tambor’s had memorable roles in films such as . . . And Justice for All, Meet Joe Black, There’s Something About Mary, City Slickers, and Pollock. He has also received two Screen Actors Guild Awards and was awarded a Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Comedy Series. He lives in New York.

Publicist: Maya Lane | 212- 782- 9164 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

From beloved WWE champion AJ Mendez Brooks comes a brave and inspirational memoir about how her greatest weakness became the means for her success.

Recently retired WWE superstar AJ Brooks is a powerhouse—strong, sassy, quirky, and totally confident. But that wasn’t always the case. Growing up, AJ was a quiet girl living in poverty, enduring familial abuse, and trying to act “normal” when she was feeling anything but. Afraid of her powerful and erratic emotions, she struggled to hide how crazy she really felt. But when AJ dropped out of school to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a professional wrestler, she discovered that “crazy” was exactly what she needed to succeed. She fought back against industry pressure to dress more provocatively because “sex sells” and instead created her own character that was a genuine representation of herself: nerdy, enthusiastic, and a little bit crazy. She carved her own path in the male-dominated sport, and her enormous success in the WWE was on her terms, inspiring a huge fan base of young women.

Crazy Is My Superpower is an honest and emotional story of the long road to self-acceptance.

A U T H O R B I O

AJ MENDEZ BROOKS is a former WWE wrestling superstar and three- time Diva champion under the ring name AJ Lee. She lives in Chicago with her husband, former WWE superstar CM Punk.



Infinite TuesdayAn Autobiographical Riff

Michael NesmithPublicist: Ellen Folan | 212- 782- 8944 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A thoughtful, idiosyncratic memoir from the Monkees icon, songwriter, and music video innovator.

The long, strange journey of Michael Nesmith is as fascinating as it was fraught— from fleeing Dallas as a young man with his pregnant girlfriend to gaining international fame as a member of the Monkees, to falling deep into the grips of what he calls Celebrity Psychosis, to finally achieving inner peace and finding a creative wellspring in the teachings of Christian Science. Influenced in equal parts by the consciousness- expanding ambitions of Timothy Leary and the cerebral humor of Douglas Adams, Nesmith spins a spellbinding tale of an unexpected life, in which stories about meeting John Lennon, or recording with Nashville greats, or inventing the music video trace an arc from Hollywood to Silicon Valley, illuminating a remarkable mind along the way.

A U T H O R B I O

MICHAEL NESMITH’s career in music and television took him from starring in The Monkees to a celebrated run of albums as a solo artist and in the First National Band. He created the TV show Popclips, a forerunner of what would become MTV, and produced the films Repo Man and Tapeheads. He is the author of two novels and the founder of the Pacific Arts Corporation, which produces projects in the worlds of audio, video, and virtual reality, including Videoranch 3D. He lives in Carmel, California.

An illuminative look at the formative elements of music from Talking Heads musician, filmmaker, and author.

Newly updated with further insights from the incomparable David Byrne, How Music Works is a reissue of the initial 2012 McSweeney’s publication— his buoyant celebration of a subject he’s spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and myriad collaborators, Byrne reveals how music emerges from cultural circumstance as much as from individual creativity.

Told with a delightfully informed voice and a wise perspective, How Music Works is both a pop- culture touchstone and a highly entertaining look at a deeply human, universally uniting art form. It is Byrne’s magnum opus and an impassioned argument about music’s liberating, life- affirming power spanning cultures, countries, and the globe.

Health and fitness trainer and co- star of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, Jen Widerstrom helps readers drop pounds with a customized weight loss program based on eating right for their personality type.

Jen Widerstrom learned one important thing through her work with contestants on NBC’s The Biggest Loser: when it comes to dieting, one size does not fit all. Now, in her first book, Widerstrom has developed a revolutionary plan for maximizing weight loss and keeping it off once and for all by personalizing your diet to the specific needs and patterns of your personality type.

With a simple quiz, readers will be able to figure out which type they fall into: the Everyday Hero (always puts themselves last), the Twister (impulsive and noncommittal), the Organized Doer (type- A personality who craves routine and rules), the Swinger (adventurous type who follows the trendiest fads), or the Never Ever (who believes if the pants don’t fit, buy bigger pants). Readers will then be guided through a four- week diet and fitness plan that caters to their individual strengths and weaknesses, with motivational advice, recipes, exercise plans, and more.

You Are the UniverseDiscovering Your Cosmic Self and Why It Matters

Publicist: Juliana Horbachevsky | 212- 782- 9486 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

Bestselling author Deepak Chopra joins forces with a leading physicist to explore nine of the most baffling questions about science and reality.

What happens when modern science reaches a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality? In this brilliant, timely, and practical work, Chopra and Kafatos tell us that we’ve reached just such a point. In the coming era, the universe will be completely redefined as a “human universe” radically unlike the cold, empty void where human life is barely a speck in the cosmos.

You Are the Universe literally means what it says—each of us is a co-creator of reality extending to the vastest reaches of time and space. This seemingly impossible proposition follows from the current state of science, where outside the public eye, some key mysteries cannot be solved, even though they are the very issues that define reality itself.

S U M M A R Y

The groundbreaking 30- day program to help readers easily rewire their brains to control their appetite, regulate their blood sugar, and lose weight effortlessly, using a paleo- based, whole foods diet.

Having trouble losing weight? The latest research shows that it’s not your fault! Former research biochemist, health expert, and bestselling author Robb Wolf reveals the groundbreaking studies that show why our body is wired to eat more and move less, essentially causing us to gain weight. The secret to rewiring your brain for health is managing your diet and your glucose levels— and figuring out if your body suffers from what Wolf calls a banana profile (someone who can eat healthy carbs), a cookie profile (someone who can eat refined carbs), or neither. Once you’ve determined this, you’ll learn to personalize your nutritional program to regulate glucose levels and boost your metabolism for effortless weight loss and improved health. The book’s 7- day jump- start program and tailored 30- day whole food, paleo- based eating plan helps you drop the weight and rewire your brain once and for all.

S U M M A R Y

The Sleep Revolution is a call to arms taking place across the country. The instant New York Times bestseller is now available in paperback.

In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna claims our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted undermines our health and our decision-making and ravages our relationships, our work lives, and even our sex lives. She takes on sleep from every angle, exploring the latest science, the manipulative and dangerous sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She presents recommendations and expert advice on how we can all achieve better and more restorative sleep, and make the power of sleep work for us.

Most important, by highlighting the many areas where sleep’s benefits are being rediscovered— from the world of sports and technology to college campuses, the hotel industry, and even workplaces around the world—she points the way forward to amazing innovations, reforms, and inventions rooted in our new love affair with sleep.

In today’s 24/7 fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually harried, and sleep-deprived world, our hunger for restorative sleep is only getting stronger. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on the worldwide sleep crisis and offers a road map for how we can take back our sleep and transform our lives and our world.

How to Be MarriedWhat I Learned from Real Women on Six Continents About Surviving My First (Really Hard) Year of Marriage

Jo PiazzaPublicist: Ellen Folan | 212- 782- 8944 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A fresh, funny, globetrotting narrative explores what makes a marriage work, for every bride- to- be, newlywed, or oldly- wed seeking a happy marriage.

Marriage is hard. That is what a newly engaged and slightly terrified Jo Piazza heard over and over again. And as she began planning her wedding, she realized that American marriage traditions focus more on the dress, the guests, and the menu than they do on crafting a real, lasting, joy-filled commitment—especially in a world where marriage seems increasingly obsolete. What comes after the whirlwind romance and fairy-tale wedding?

A journalist and travel editor, Jo found herself in the unique position of being able to devote the first year of her marriage to exploring customs and cultures around the world in an attempt to learn how to be (happily) married. Readers will follow Jo and her husband, Nick, through their first year of marriage in this extraordinary memoir—and what a year it is.

The Salt FixWhy the Experts Got It All Wrong— and How Eating More Might Save Your Life

Dr. James DiNicolantonioPublicist: Rebecca Marsh | 212- 572- 2544 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

A respected cardiovascular research scientist overturns conventional thinking about salt, revealing its value to your health.

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt, but the real danger of the second crystal, according to Dr. DiNicolantonio, is having too little. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, digest and breathe properly, and maintain good heart function. Eating enough salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off chronic illnesses— while too little can kick the body into semi- starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, as well as lead to absorbing double the fat for every gram you consume. In some populations, too little salt can even increase blood pressure and resting heart rate.

The Salt Fix explores how this historically treasured substance got demonized and explains what science really says about this misunderstood mineral.

S U M M A R Y

An evocative, gorgeous four- season look at cooking in Maine, with 100 recipes.

No one can bring small- town America to life better than a native, especially when it comes to Maine. Off the beaten path, it enjoys four distinct seasons and an abundant natural bounty that comes from its coastline, rivers, farms, fields, and woods— a cook’s dream. Erin French grew up in Freedom, Maine (population 719), helping her father man the griddle at his diner. A self- taught cook who used cookbooks to form her culinary education, she now helms her restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, in a historic mill in the same town, creating meals that draw locals and visitors from around the world to a dining room that feels like an extension of her home kitchen. The food has been called “brilliant in its simplicity and honesty” by Food & Wine, and it is exactly this pure approach that makes Erin’s cooking so appealing— and so easy to embrace at home.

A U T H O R B I O

ERIN FRENCH turned a string of early catering gigs into a secret suppers series in her apartment. She took her dinners on the road, organizing traveling “fork- to- field” suppers from a tricked- out 1965 Airstream trailer, before returning to her tiny hometown, Freedom, Maine, to build her dream restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, in a restored 1834 gristmill. At the beginning of each season, the day the phone line opens to accept reservations, the restaurant books up for the entire year.

InsightWhy We Are Less Self-Aware Than We Think—and What to Do About It

Tasha Eurich, Ph.D.Publicist: Megan Perritt | 212- 572- 2543 | [email protected]: Owen Haney | 212- 572- 2076 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

How to develop better self- awareness— the meta- skill of the 21st century— to improve work performance, leadership skills, relationships, and more. An exploration of our favorite topic: ourselves.

No matter what job we have or where we are in our career, our success depends largely on how we come across to others: bosses, clients, customers, and peers. Research shows that self- aware people perform better and get more promotions at work, make smarter career decisions, and are more respected and effective leaders. Yet we all know people who lack self- awareness: the tyrant boss who thinks he comes across as “tough but fair” but in reality is seen as a bullying jerk, the overbearing co- worker who thinks he’s earning respect but in reality is hampering team performance. Because for all the lip service given to feedback in today’s business world, few of us actually have strategies for eliciting honest, accurate insight into how we come across.

Eurich draws on thousands of surveys, hundreds of academic studies, and 15 years of executive coaching experience to offer a toolkit of practical strategies for cultivating better self- knowledge.

Red TeamingHow Contrarian Thinking Is Revolutionizing the Military— and How It Can Transform Your Business

Bryce G. HoffmanPublicist: Megan Perritt | 212- 572- 2543 | [email protected]: Owen Haney | 212- 572- 2076 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

Adapted from the U.S. Army, a revolutionary new management concept on making critical thinking and contrarian viewpoints a key part of the planning process of any organization or business.

Most established companies live with the gnawing fear that there is another Uber out there just waiting to disrupt their industry. The cure for this paranoia or anxiety: red teaming. First set up by the U.S. military, Red Teams were used in war- gaming exercises during the Cold War, and are used by every branch of the military today to proof- test strategy and plans. Big companies such as Apple and Microsoft have begun to use red teams to help make their software and systems more secure.

Red teaming is both a set of analytical tools and a mindset. It is designed to overcome the mental blind spots and cognitive biases that all of us fall victim to when we try to address complex problems. The same neural shortcuts that allow us to successfully navigate life and business also cause us to miss or ignore important information. The good news is that with Red Teaming, we can find out what we do not know.

S U M M A R Y

Improving a company’s processes is not enough— you need to first focus on your people.

Bestselling author and quality guru Subir Chowdhury (The Power of Six Sigma), tackles a question that has haunted him in his consulting work for years. Why is it that some companies improve incrementally, while others improve 50 times? The ideas and training, after all, are the same.

The difference, he says, in this short, engaging book, is the people on your staff. The best processes and training programs in the world will not lead to world- class operations unless a company first looks to their people. Only by creating a “caring mindset”— a culture built upon straightforwardness and openness; a management structure that thinks about the concerns of their employees; a workplace that inspires accountability and engagement; and managers and employees who tackle the challenges they face with perseverance—can companies excel.

Here Lapin draws on raw and hilariously real stories from her career to show what it means to be a “boss” in 12 easy steps. First she shows how to embrace the “boss of you” mentality by seizing the power of believing in yourself. Then she offers no- nonsense advice for how to kill it as the boss at work. Finally, she lays out the nuts and bolts of how to be the boss of your own business, from raising money to hiring a kickass staff to dealing with office drama to turning a profit.

“Unholy Trinity”— abortion, gay marriage, and gender— the three issues that progressives have used to take control of not only our politics, but our entire culture. While conservatives worry endlessly about peripheral issues— the economy, foreign policy, and so forth— liberals have been hard at work chipping away at the bedrock of our civilization, and putting a new foundation in its place.

KT McFarlandPublicist: Megan Schumann | 212- 782- 9760 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

Fox News analyst and White House veteran KT McFarland outlines the path back to a stronger, prouder America.

President Obama will leave office with the majority of Americans believing we’re a nation in decline, that our economy will never recover, that we’re being pushed around all over the world, and that we’ve lost our sense of national purpose. But the good news delivered in A Time for Choosing is that this state does not have to be permanent. Based on her experience working for three presidents, particularly as a key player in Reagan’s Cold War triumph, KT McFarland issues a passionate call to arms for everyday Americans, showing how with the right leadership and a major policy course correction, our country can become a leader again on the world stage— unleashing a new era of peace and prosperity.

Writing My WrongsLife, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison

Shaka SenghorPublicist: Jessica Brown | 212- 572- 2229 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

The critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling story of forgiveness, hope, and second chances amid America’s prison epidemic. Now in paperback.

Shaka Senghor was raised in Detroit during the height of the 1980s crack epidemic. An honor roll student and a natural leader, he had dreams of becoming a doctor—but at age 11, his parents’ marriage began to unravel and the beatings from his mother worsened, sending him on a downward spiral that saw him end up in prison for murder at the age of 19, fuming with anger and despair.

This is the story of what came next. During his 19-year incarceration, 7 of which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, and self-examination, tools that he used to confront the demons of his past, forgive the people who hurt him, and begin atoning for the wrongs he had committed. Upon his release at age 38, Senghor became an MIT Media Lab fellow, a leading voice on criminal justice reform, and a mentor to young men and women facing circumstances like his.

Writing My Wrongs is a portrait of life in the shadow of violence and fear; a redemption story, reminding us that our worst deeds don’t define us; and a witness to our country’s need for change in how it approaches crime, prison, and the men and women who are sent there.

The Chamberlain KeyDecoding Startling Messages from God, Hidden for Centuries in an Ancient Biblical Manuscript

Timothy P. Smith with Bob HostetlerPublicist: Beverly Rykerd | 719- 268- 1935 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

There is more to the Bible than we ever imagined . . . messages from God— both hopeful and troubling— hidden for ages, now revealed by modern computer technology.

The Chamberlain Key tells how Timothy Smith, an appraiser and conservator of artifacts and antiquities, discovered and decoded a complex message in an ancient Hebrew manuscript of the Bible— a message that applied startlingly and unmistakably to him! The book relates the painstaking process Smith undertook to verify and authenticate this “contact”— a quest filled with adventure and mystery. But instead of using old maps to find buried treasure, this hunt uses the data calculation power of modern technology. The author’s remarkable discovery shows how the Bible is even more amazing than we ever dreamed . . . layered with meaning and insight, a book like no other, prepared by a brilliant Creator who wants to explain his loving plans, as well as issue serious warnings that may apply to the generations alive today.

A U T H O R B I O

TIMOTHY P. SMITH is the fourth generation of a distinguished American trade family that has served governors, senators, and presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt. As a professional appraiser and conservator, no discovery has excited Smith as much as “the chamberlain key.” BOB HOSTETLER is the award- winning author of more than 30 books, which together have sold over three million copies.

As Kingfishers Catch FireA Conversation on the Ways of God Formed by the Words of God

Eugene H. PetersonPublicist: Brett Benson | 719- 264- 5661 | [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

From the creative mind behind the bestselling The Message Bible, the definitive collection of his teachings on the Christian life and how Scripture informs our relationship with Christ and one another.

”Sixty years ago I found myself distracted.” So begins the introduction to Eugene Peterson’s As Kingfishers Catch Fire. What follows is the record of one man’s decision to find not only how to be a pastor, but how to be a human being, a discovery made in the pages of Scripture and in the lives of the same congregation he faithfully served for 29 years.

This collection of spiritual teachings presents Peterson’s distinctive approach designed to communicate to his congregation, and the reader, “the full counsel of God.” Taking cues from the Bible’s affinity for the number of perfection, Peterson’s writings are arranged in seven sections, each containing seven teachings, all expertly crafted to stir the biblical imagination. Only a certain number of people were privileged to sit in the pews Sunday after Sunday and soak in Peterson’s earthy godliness over those years. Now, for the first time, that privilege is available to the rest of us.

A U T H O R B I O

EUGENE H. PETERSON, translator of the bestselling The Message Bible, is professor emeritus of spiritual theology at Regent College, British Columbia, and the author of more than 30 books. In 1962, he founded Christ Our King Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in Bel Air, Maryland, where he served for 29 years before retiring in 1991. He and his wife, Jan, live in Montana.

Life After HeavenHow My Time in Heaven Can Transform Your Life on Earth

Steven R. MusickPublicist: Brett Benson | 719- 264- 5661 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

The true story of a navy sailor’s death, his encounters in heaven, his miraculous recovery, and his wish to help others experience heaven on earth.

This book chronicles the life (and temporary death) and supernatural experiences of Steve Musick. When Steve was in his 20s, he died and went to heaven. At the time of his death he was enlisted in the navy. His death was the result of a failed experimental vaccine that the government was testing on soldiers. When he came back to life, he knew he had seen God, spoken with Jesus, and received a great deal of peace and spiritual healing. As a result of being in a coma for so long, Steve suffered serious lung damage and was limited severely in his physical capabilities. Twenty years after the accident, Steve was miraculously healed by God and restored to full health. Ever since, Steve has experienced extraordinary dreams and has at key moments experienced supernatural intuition, including dreams of foreknowledge.

A U T H O R B I O

STEVEN R. MUSICK is a financial planner. His world is one of numbers and concrete facts. He’s grounded and rational— a trustworthy narrator. But there’s something otherworldly about him: he’s been to heaven, and he lives to tell about it.

The Kansas community of Fairland anticipates the arrival of their new minister. Over the past several months, late in 1882, postmistress Grace Cristler has communicated with Reverend Rufus Dille via letters, answering his questions and developing an affection for the man who pens them.

Theophil Garrison is a man who wants to do right but is involved, by his cousins, in a botched heist. When a wronged cousin is out for justice, Theo goes on the run and comes across a fatally ill traveler— a minister. Seeing a way to evade his troubles, Theo trades identities with the man and prays that he’ll be accepted as Reverend Dille.

In a short time “ministering” in Fairland, Theo finds himself falling for Grace, stumbling through sermons, and becoming enmeshed in the lives of the people in the community.

English LessonsThe Crooked Little Grace- Filled Path of Growing Up

Andrea LucadoPublicist: Lisa Beech | 719- 268- 1917 [email protected]

S U M M A R Y

Take a good Baptist girl from Texas and plant her on the multicultural lawns of Oxford. Can she make it there?

Andrea Lucado’s memoir centers around those foundational questions in life that everyone must ask at one point or another, questions that deal with identity and belief: Who am I? and What do I truly believe? Transplanted from the comforts and security of home to the halls of Oxford academia, she quickly realized she knew very little about these questions, much less the answers. But she was more than determined to learn. Come along with Andrea as she spends a year across the pond and navigates the Thames River, romantic relationships, the Oxford Atheist Society, a coffee- less Lent, and renting a room that turned out to be just a drafty closet, among other things. Always winsomely honest and refreshingly tender, English Lessons is an immersive education in growing up, and maybe, just maybe, a little wiser at the same time.

A U T H O R B I O

ANDREA LUCADO is a freelance writer and Texas native who now calls Nashville, Tennessee, home.
