Book excerpt: Four close New York friends--Cindy L., a jewelry designer extraordinaire; Laura O., a businesswoman who discovered how to "Lose your idealism and cry all the way to the bank"; Ellen N., a TV executive who believes one should "Dream as if you were to live forever, but live as if you were to die next week"; and Olivia G., the director of a nonprofit, whose motto in life is "Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience." One night not long ago, the four friends decided to form a secret Love Club of their own, where "no children, husbands, bosses or diet police" would be allowed. Over the course of a year's worth of Club meetings in a rooftop apartment on Amsterdam Avenue, the four of them candidly shared dozens of delightfully erotic tales, while preparing the most delectable celebratory meals. And then they decided to write it all down... including, of course, the most thrillingly memorable, best kept secrets of their past and current love lives, such as:- How I Lost My Bikini Bottom One Magical Night on the Jersey Shore (and How I Stunningly Found It Again in Manhattan?)- What I Did on the Night Before My Wedding (and My Husband Never Knew?)- Why I Took a Secret Lover (and How It Saved My Marriage?)Great company, thrilling conversation, glorious food and amazing Sex... The very best of everything. WELCOME TO THE LOVE CLUB OF AMSTERDAM AVENUE

Book excerpt: A little girl carries a big message—and finds it thrillingly amplified by the rallying crowd around her—in an empowering story for the youngest of activists. Mari raised her sign for everyone to see. Even though she was small and the crowd was very big, and she didn’t think anyone would hear, she yelled out. Mari is getting ready to make a sign with crayon as the streets below her fill up with people. “What are we making, Mama?” she asks. “A message for the world,” Mama says. “How will the whole world hear?” Mari wonders. “They’ll hear,” says Mama, “because love is powerful.” Inspired by a girl who participated in the January 2017 Women’s March in New York City, Heather Dean Brewer’s simple and uplifting story, delightfully illustrated by LeUyen Pham, is a reminder of what young people can do to promote change and equality at a time when our country is divided by politics, race, gender, and religion.

Book excerpt: How did a scrawny black kid -- the son of a barber and a domestic who grew up in Harlem and Trenton -- become the 106th mayor of New York City? It's a remarkable journey. David Norman Dinkins was born in 1927, joined the Marine Corps in the waning days of World War II, went to Howard University on the G.I. Bill, graduated cum laude with a degree in mathematics in 1950, and married Joyce Burrows, whose father, Daniel Burrows, had been a state assemblyman well-versed in the workings of New York's political machine. It was his father-in-law who suggested the young mathematician might make an even better politician once he also got his law degree. The political career of David Dinkins is set against the backdrop of the rising influence of a broader demographic in New York politics, including far greater segments of the city's "gorgeous mosaic." After a brief stint as a New York assemblyman, Dinkins was nominated as a deputy mayor by Abe Beame in 1973, but ultimately declined because he had not filed his income tax returns on time. Down but not out, he pursued his dedication to public service, first by serving as city clerk. In 1986, Dinkins was elected Manhattan borough president, and in 1989, he defeated Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani to become mayor of New York City, the largest American city to elect an African American mayor. As the newly-elected mayor of a city in which crime had risen precipitously in the years prior to his taking office, Dinkins vowed to attack the problems and not the victims. Despite facing a budget deficit, he hired thousands of police officers, more than any other mayoral administration in the twentieth century, and launched the "Safe Streets, Safe City" program, which fundamentally changed how police fought crime. For the first time in decades, crime rates began to fall -- a trend that continues to this day. Among his other major successes, Mayor Dinkins brokered a deal that kept the US Open Tennis Championships in New York -- bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to the city annually -- and launched the revitalization of Times Square after decades of decay, all the while deflecting criticism and some outright racism with a seemingly unflappable demeanor. Criticized by some for his handling of the Crown Heights riots in 1991, Dinkins describes in these pages a very different version of events. A Mayor's Life is a revealing look at a devoted public servant and a New Yorker in love with his city, who led that city during tumultuous times.
