In the Blood
On Mothers, Daughters and Addiction
Arabella Byrne and Julia Hamilton
First memoir written by a mother and daughter. Unique take on addiction and recovery.
‘Alcohol flows across families like water over a landscape. Sometimes it moves in torrents, sometimes in floods, sometimes in trickles. It always shapes the ground it covers in unmistakable ways.'
In the Blood is a memoir in two voices, those of a mother and daughter both in the grip of the disease that has ravaged generations of women in their family. Julia, aged sixty-five, and Arabella, thirty-eight, ended up in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous just nine months apart.
Brutally honest, darkly funny and bursting with hope, In The Blood is the sound of the howling cry of illness and betrayal across generations, and what you do with that sound when you hear it. 304pp
Julia Hamilton is a novelist. She has published six novels and has written for Harpers & Queen, Vogue, the Sunday Telegraph, the Sunday Times, and the Times Literary Supplement In the Blood is her first work of non-fiction.
Arabella Byrne is a journalist. She has written widely for the Spectator, the Critic, Tatler, and the Daily Mail amongst others. She is an ambassador for NACOA, the National Association for Children of Alcoholics. In the Blood will be her first book.
In some ways it’s a predictable story; two addicts drank and destroyed and ransacked until they could drink no more. In others, it is entirely unlike any account of motherhood or addiction that has ever been told. This is not a recovery memoir, but rather an unflinching family drama spanning generations, whilst looking pain and shame directly in the eye.
Confronting the difficulty of writing faithfully about those we love and the ways in which memory blurs the boundaries of fact, this is the story of women who grew up in shadows, and have navigated their way out of darkness.

This

a book about divine dicks, mortal pricks, and some epically long-suffering women.
The Ancient Greek myths and epics have spent the last few thousand years focusing on all the testosterone and willy-waving that their so-called heroes got up to. Now, at long last, it’s time to shine a light on the goddesses, nymphs and queens who had to endure all that unwanted wooing, the wrath of vengeful gods, and a lot of straight-up misogyny without complaint – or at least none that was considered worth noting.
Is it really heroic to start a war just because the girl you like fancies someone else? And seriously, when will men stop fobbing off women's ideas as their own?
These are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before.

And Still We March A search for Women’s freedom
Marisa Bate
•Marisa makes the personal political as she takes a journey through women’s rights of the last 40 years, via her mother’s own story, and retracing her visit to what looked to be a newly progressive America for women in 1976.
•Exquisite writing about her mother and her own experiences, this will have a real word-ofmouth appeal with opportunities for Mothers Day.
•We’re continuing to see an appetite for feminist narratives told in a new and exciting way. This is a totally unique combination of memoir and feminist criticism that will attract readers looking for the next THREE WOMEN.
Retracing my mother’s footsteps in search of women’s freedom
1974. A 22-year-old Jacqui French stands for a photograph in Omaha, Nebraska, thousands of miles from home.
Behind a carefree smile lies a fierce hope, fuelled by the promise of a new beginning and the tapestry of opportunity an America of Gloria Steinem, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and the newly passed Roe v. Wade, appeared to offer.
The world was changing, and women’s fortunes seemed to be changing with it.
It was this photo of her mother, discovered by accident decades later, that set Marisa on the path to writing this book. The face echoed one she knew intimately, yet the image revealed an untold story. Marisa’s memories of her mother are of a woman shorn of that same carefree energy, a mum worn down by the direct actions of men in her life, still resolutely determined to show Marisa and her brother a world wider than their own. Generous with what little time single motherhood and a full-time job afforded her. An inspirational sharer of stories. But tired. Always tired. The photo offered a glimpse of something different, of what came before.
Today this story of promise similarly seems at risk of being written over, as women around the world suffer in the face of populism, a politics that thrives on divisiveness, and a determined assault on women’s rights. Meanwhile, the women for whom this all feels disturbingly familiar are being lost to time. That same tapestry of opportunity now feels threadbare. Did hope, for Marisa’s mother and women like her, get left in 1974?
The answer lies in what happened in between.
Following a great feminist tradition of sharing women’s stories, and with a keen understanding of the principal “the personal is political”, Marisa will attempt to fill in the gaps. In Wild Hope, Marisa traces her mother’s story across decades, following in her footsteps to discover what happened next. In doing so, a much bigger story of women across that same period will be told, as she seeks context for the events that shaped her mother’s life.

Dija examines the concept of identity, looking at the way history has shaped how Black women express themselves in beauty and skincare, and debunks common myths and misconceptions: do darker skin tones need SPF? And is there any truth to the saying ‘Black don’t crack?’
Intelligent, informed and indispensable, this is the guide that every Black woman has been waiting for.
‘A beauty book first. Dija Ayodele has created a comprehensive guide for Black women that provides not only expert information and advice, but also Ayodele's personal take on the social and historical role of Blackness and its relationship with beauty. Consider this a myth-busting tour of all things Black skin.’ ELLE magazine
‘Timely and game-changing, Ayodele’s comprehensive guide to skincare for Black women busts beauty myths at the same time as dispensing invaluable advice.’ Waterstones
‘what Dija doesn't know about Black skin isn't really worth knowing’ Refinery29

She is the founder of FLOLiving.com, a virtual health center that has been treating the root causes of hormone imbalance and supporting women’s hormonal and reproductive health for over a decade, and she recently launched MyFLO, a period tracker designed to help users fix symptoms and schedule their lives according to their cycles.
In the FLO
A 28-day plan working with your monthly cycle to do more and stress less
Alisa Vitti
•We are in a unique cultural moment where women are more empowered than ever before. This coincides with the positive message and paradigm shift of thinking of your period as a strength, not a weakness or a nuisance. We are witnessing the explosion of biohacking, which until now has been exclusively catering to men and male bodies.
•Alisa’s platform has grown exponentially since 2013. She has a large and engaged social media following and is THE go-to expert in the States when there is any story relating to periods. She’s been on Dr. Oz, Fox News, CBS, and in Vogue, Women’s Health, Refinery29, Shape, Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Well+Good, and MindBodyGreen, delivered a TedTalk with over a million views, and is giving corporate workshops at companies including Google, Zappos, Cosmo, and more.
How women can improve their productivity, happiness, and physical well-being by keeping their natural cycles in mind and working with them (rather than ignoring them).
In the Flo teaches women how to use their 28-day cycle to optimize their life by letting their internal clock and natural rhythms guide time management, diet, fitness, etc. (This is so simple and yet underutilized it is shocking. It makes perfect sense when you think about it: You have different energy levels at different times of the month, different libido levels, etc. so why not use foresight to plan projects for when you are at your most effective, and understand when you need more emotional connection with others?)
There are specific tips on what to eat and how to exercise depending on what phase you are in—and it works. Women are getting promotions, losing weight, and in one case thus far, literally clearing their endometriosis by using the cycle syncing method.
‘a powerful offering toward helping women reclaim hormone health, and much needed life balance.’ Aviva Romm, MD, author of The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution

‘Your body and brain will thank you for it.’ Daniel Amen, MD, neuroscientist, and New York Times bestselling author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life and Unleash the Power of the Female Brain
‘Women are getting promotions, losing weight and clearing endometriosis by using this cycle-syncing method.’ The Bookseller
