Book excerpt: Celia Anzalone has lived anything from a boring life. In the center of a messy divorce as a child to extreme drug problems as a young adult, Celia recounts her life as a drug addict. Recovery may be a long road, but with the help of God Celia is able to find balance in her life, while letting go of the past and accepting who she is now. Not leaving anything out, Celia tells the bizarre-and at times, embarrassing-story that was her life-stolen cars, abusive boyfriends, forgotten friends, and much more. She may have lived more than a difficult life, but finding God allowed Celia to forgive herself for mistakes she has made and accept the young person she's become. This whirlwind journey is bound to inspire readers as she weaves in and out of memories of a past life in this tantalizing memoir. Celia's Eyes is an inspiring story that shows how one girl, with all the odds against her, can turn them in her favor, building a new life from the ground up. She doesn't hide anything in this thought-provoking story of hitting rock bottom again and again, to finally get up for once and for all.

Book excerpt: Age range: 5+ Who's in your family? Frizzle and Me is the gently humorous story of a growing rainbow family. It's a big deal when your family changes, but with plenty of love to go around, even the biggest changes can be wonderful! 'Frizzle and Me jumps on board a current -- and vital -- trend for books celebrating diversity, and makes a respectable contribution to the cohort. The premise is that the definition of 'family' is simple: those around you, who you love and are close to...The clear message is that there is no such thing as 'normal' when it comes to family. The illustrations are reminiscent of Janet Ahlberg crossed with Helen Oxenbury: comforting and familiar landscapes where adults and children and pets all seem relaxed and connected. The repeated refrains from the central character -- as each person joins the family, the child is confident that the important things will not change -- will no doubt be embraced by young children.' -- Books+Publishing 'Frizzle and Me is an endearing exploration of family dynamics. By purposefully choosing not to portray a traditional nuclear unit, the book draws attention to the role of affection, connection and acceptance in forming a strong family bond and in creating a place of safety for children during periods of change.' -- Buzz Words Magazine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before there was Eleanor and Park, there was Francesca and Will. A compelling story of romance, family, and friendship, with humor and heart, perfect for fans of If I Stay, The Spectacular Now, and Looking for Alaska. Francesca is stuck at St. Sebastian’s, a boys' school that pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom. Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an impossibly dorky accordion player. The boys are no better, from Thomas, who specializes in musical burping, to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can't seem to stop thinking about. Then there's Francesca's mother, who always thinks she knows what's best for Francesca—until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, alone, and without an inkling of who she really is. Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life, and—hardest of all—herself. Melina Marchetta is the Printz-winning author of Jellicoe Road, as well as Looking for Alibrandi and Finnikin of the Rock.

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for children when parents are unhappy, and that marriage is essentially a private choice, not a public institution. Waite and Gallagher flatly contradict these assumptions, arguing instead that by a broad range of indices, marriage is actually better for you than being single or divorced– physically, materially, and spiritually. They contend that married people live longer, have better health, earn more money, accumulate more wealth, feel more fulfillment in their lives, enjoy more satisfying sexual relationships, and have happier and more successful children than those who remain single, cohabit, or get divorced. The Case for Marriage combines clearheaded analysis, penetrating cultural criticism, and practical advice for strengthening the institution of marriage, and provides clear, essential guidelines for reestablishing marriage as the foundation for a healthy and happy society. “A compelling defense of a sacred union. The Case for Marriage is well written and well argued, empirically rigorous and learned, practical and commonsensical.” -- William J. Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues “Makes the absolutely critical point that marriage has been misrepresented and misunderstood.” -- The Wall Street Journal www.broadwaybooks.com
