The right book at the right time can change your life.

Will Miles is trapped. Trapped in tiny Greening, Michigan, where a toxic high school rumor has turned her into a social exile. Trapped in the predictable routines of her mother, and under the unrelenting gaze of her mother's increasingly sinister boyfriend. But when Will stumbles across the early poems of Nathaniel Fellow, a famous writer forty years her senior who also grew up in Greening, she feels she's found a kindred spirit. A passing comment from her mother only adds to Will's fascination: Is Nathaniel the father she's never known?

Will orchestrates a plan to track Nathaniel down, following in his footsteps to New York City, where she learns he's not the answer to her past, not the way she imagined. But their meeting sparks a complicated, consuming relationship that gives Will sidelong access to a world she's only ever imagined: of writers and intellectuals, a financial safety net, and, most intoxicatingly, a glimpse into her own potential. But who is Nathaniel Fellow, off the page? And what will shaping her life to suit his cost her? When a torrent of information about his past threatens not just her life with Nathaniel, but the story she tells herself about him, Will is faced with a choice that will change everything.

A gripping novel about ambition, parents and children, and all the ways women still pay for men's mistakes, Famous Men traces one woman's journey to the truth of where she comes from, what she's capable of, and how she might start again.

In the latest novel from "our most significant rising writer of the American West" (Vulture), a woman searches for a way to reclaim the miracle of life in a world seemingly hellbent on doom

In her homestead deep in the Mojave, Rose has found a way to live "on the other side of the portal," with an intentionality that's brought her hard-won peace and freedom. She's navigating single parenthood, and she's found a community out at Yellow Pine, where a group of spirited misfits have mounted a stand against the "green energy gold rush" Rose is certain will destroy her beloved desert. When she accepts an overture from Miles, an old flame, their passion proves as intense - and unsteady - as ever. But even as their rekindled romance flickers, it fuels a deeper, more consuming drive in Rose: to birth not only another child but a fuller, more intact way of being in the face of rapacious consumerism, industrialization, and misanthropy. Enlisting her on-again-off-again lover, her fellow activists, and her oddball neighbors, she embarks upon an unorthodox scheme to recover from her rugged individualism, embrace love in all its pain and grace, and come home to the divine.

As furious, bawdy, searching, and searingly original as ever, in Yellow Pine Watkins blazes a trail toward a radically reimagined vision of a good life in a ravaged time.

A Munchausen by proxy victim reveals his deepest secrets on a true-crime podcast--but will his audience believe him, let alone his loved ones?

HARROWING NEW DETAILS IN 'MONSTER MOMMY' CASE... SHOCKING INFORMATION SURFACES AS 'MONSTER MOMMY' CASE HEADS TO TRIAL... HOW COULD A MOTHER POISON HER SON?

Welcome to sixteen-year-old Alex's life, ripped straight from the headlines.

Alex is a victim of Munchausen by proxy, but he's also a witty, sarcastic kid with unusually good crossword skills and a penchant for astronomy. At least he used to be. Now that he's recovered from years of illness induced by his mother, he sort of has to figure out who he is all over again... And most importantly, he'll have to decide if he can testify against the woman who gave birth to him.

As Alex awaits the trial, his friends convince him to start a podcast as a way to tell his story. Together, they create "Lethal Lullaby." The podcast brings Alex closer to his old life--hanging out with friends, cracking jokes, having fun... At the same time, new memories surface and disturbing revelations come out, forcing Alex to acknowledge that the podcast could be making things worse. It seems like he's got deeper issues than he'd like to admit-and this time, he can't blame them on his mom.

Day by day, Alex's mental health crumbles, until he can no longer distinguish between truth and fiction. Should he trust himself to testify? And if he gets up there, what version of the truth will he share?

This breathtaking YA debut is perfect for fans of Sadie and The Act. Come for the can't-look-away take on true crime, stay for the honest portrayal of mental illness.

A revolutionary guide to discovering your core wound, examining how it manifests in your life, and navigating conflict in all relationships, from the popular associate therapist and coach @kp_counseling.

Anyone in a long-term relationship knows that fighting is inevitable. Our goal should be fighting well, fighting clean--which is both shockingly hard to do and the basis of a successful partnership. In Why We Fight, relationship coach, couples' therapist, and former Fortune 500 tech engineer Kim Polinder offers a unique and practical process for couples to address the recurring conflicts in their relationships--by helping them understand why they fight in the first place.

If you're sick of feeling out of control as the same old fights keep bubbling up, Why We Fight provides a path to understanding why we experience repetitive arguments and contention in our intimate relationships, and how to change that before it's too late. With Kim's guidance, you will discover your core wound, analyze how that plays out in your life, and follow a series of questions and practices to reframe and implement new behaviors, resulting in an improved relationship with yourself and your loved one.

Before Kim gained her degrees in spiritual psychology and clinical mental health and became a therapist, she spent many years as an IT engineer for a Fortune 500 company. This training taught her to approach problems by seeking the root cause of issues. In these pages, you will learn to:

• identify your core wound(s), which might sound something like 'My feelings don't matter, ' 'I don't belong," or 'My feelings are overwhelming'
• understand your attachment style and how it might be holding you back
• apply basic communication exercises
• undo the 'bad math' of relationships that you absorbed in childhood
• express yourself effectively, not defensively
• figure out the best troubleshooting approach for when conflict emerges, as it inevitably will

Kim's simple, proprietary flowchart system (Step 1: Do I Feel Understood? Step 2: Find a Solution) with straightforward prompts has been a gamechanger for her clients and hundreds of thousands of followers, helping them navigate conflict, regulate their emotions, communication more effectively, and make informed decisions during tough arguments.

The Mexico we hear of in the news--the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence--is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World, and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies.

These three novels get to the heart of the matter in a truly original way. They are storytelling that is at once timely and timeless.

¡UNA ABEJA!

Con versos vivaces y emotivos de Kirsten Hall y bellas ilustraciones de Isabelle Arsenault, esta celebración de la importantísima abeja es un tesoro tan dulce como la miel en forma de libro ilustrado.

The true story of one of impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir's most famous paintings, and an astonishing exploration of the rise and fall of a prominent French Jewish family from the Belle epoque to World War II.

Paris, 1881. The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir knocks on the door of a wealthy Jewish family's home in the 8th arrondissement, the grandest quarter of Paris. He has arrived to paint the portrait of the family's two youngest daughters. The parents, the Cahen d'Anvers, are bankers, collectors, philanthropists, and pillars of Parisian society. They go to balls, breed racehorses, and ride in the Bois de Boulogne with their aristocratic friends. But for the Jewish community, the undercurrents of Parisian sentiment are already moving in a sinister direction. The story of the Renoir girls will end in the duplicity and the horror of the Second World War. With an extraordinary cast of characters, from the girls themselves, their mother's lovers, a heroic British General; from the King of Spain to Dreyfus, Proust, and Maupassant--this is a story about one of the world's most famous pictures, The Pink and the Blue. But really it is a story about Paris--one that prefers to be hidden. With access to never-before-seen letters, diaries, and personal recollections--it is a tale of privilege, beauty, and betrayal almost lost in the shimmering memory of a vanished world.

La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Originally published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the masterpieces of English literature of all time.

Introduction by Tony Tanner, professor at the University of Cambridge.
Translation by Ana Ma Rodríguez.

Throughout a plot that unfolds with great pace and precision, Jane Austen brings together a gallery of characters characteristic of an entire era: the lady determined to marry off her daughters to the best match in the region, the sisters who struggle with their emotional ups and downs, the flattering clergyman who sins by being opportunistic... The study of character and the analysis of human relationships based on custom--essential elements of the author's narrative--reach in Pride and Prejudice heights of unsurpassed mastery.

This edition includes a detailed chronology of the author. It also restores the original introduction from Penguin Clásicos by Tony Tanner, who developed his career as a professor of English and American literature at the University of Cambridge, and whose sharp reflections on Jane Austen are the best guide to entering the literary universe of this author.
