The Last Word

Raw and unflinching

This is a mother’s account of her daughter’s life

And of Katie Price and her turbulent rise to fame

Katie Price’s life has long been lived in the public eye, documented both by her own books, reality tv, and the tabloids. But what does this story look like from the inside?

While battling a terminal illness, Katie’s mother, Amy Price, has the last word in this honest and insightful memoir, where she reveals how her family’s past has shaped her daughter’s future.

The Last Word is the definitive story of how Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield became Katie Price. It documents how her life has been shaped by a tradition of strong women, by cycles of abuse which have been repeated through generations, and by the impact of fame and trauma on a close family unit.

As the daughter of an American GI and a mermaid – yes, you read that correctly – a simple life was not on the cards for Amy Price. A talented swimmer, she seemed destined for the Olympics, however experience of sexual abuse cut short her career, and she chose motherhood over medals.

Amy achieved a successful career while raising three children who all earned success in various fields; but for one, Katie, fame was part of the bargain. Amy found herself catapulted into the media circus that followed her daughter, sometimes with devastating consequences. She has always been there to support, guide and console.

Crisis

Nicky Perfect

•The success of The Prison Doctor series illustrates a keen appetite amongst mass market readers for high stakes professional confessionals.

•Hostage and crisis negotiation is an endlessly fascinating profession, and Nicky is perfectly placed to shed light on the role – its complexities and challenges, but also the ways in which it affords the opportunity to make a real difference.

•Nicky was the only woman on a team of specialist officers dedicated permanently to negotiation, which could help from a PR perspective.

•The professional confessional genre continues to perform strongly, particularly when the author’s role is intriguing and high stakes.

We had been there for over 12 hours. The man was still 30 feet up a tree, balancing on a branch directly over one of the main railway lines out of one of the busiest train stations in the country. He refused to talk to us, threatening to jump if we came too close. To him, we were the enemy. My job was to preserve his life.

Nicky Perfect knows that the most dangerous time in any negotiation is when you think you’re winning.

Nicky worked on the elite New Scotland Yard Hostage and Crisis Negotiation Unit, becoming the Deputy Head of Unit in 2016. She has travelled the world teaching negotiation and working with the Government on international operations.

Nicky spent many years as the Director of UK Training of the National Hostage and Crisis Negotiation Course. She was responsible for training police officers across the UK and assessing their capability as negotiators.

On retiring from the police Nicky purchased her local garage and converted the showroom into a coffee shop and gym, keeping the garage workshop, employing local people and creating a community hub.

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

From rooftop stand-offs to criminal barricades, gang kidnappings to terrorist incidents, these are the stories and cases that have shaped a career spent on high alert, where life often hangs in the balance.

The Closet

A coming-of-age story of love, awakenings and the clothes that made (and saved) me

Teo van den Broeke

For readers of quality memoir and anyone interested in the LGBTQ+ experience and fashion.

We would look to harness Teo’s connections to build noise around publication, including the likes of Dolly Alderton, Graham Norton, Andrew Scott, Russel Davies, Munroe Bergdorf and more.

•Teo has written for a number of national and international titles including The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Observer, Evening Standard and Wallpaper.

•Teo has nearly 40k followers on Instagram and as the Style Director for GQ, is well connected in the media.

•Andrew Scott (of Fleabag fame) will be reading the audiobook.

· The Closet could be a good contender for prizes, including the Polari Prize.

Throughout his life, clothes have provided an outlet through which journalist Teo van den Broeke understands both himself and the world around him.

From the blue princess dress he coveted as a child, that first led him to question whether he was ‘normal’, through to the Nike cap and Gucci loafers he wore to impress the men he first desired, fabric has long enveloped and shaped his formative moments.

Soho House’s editorial director and former award-winning style director for GQ and style director for British Esquire, Teo van den Broeke, is an expert on style. Teo is also a contributing writer at the Financial Times, a brand consultant, as well as an awardwinning podcaster.

Using the wardrobe of his past as a lens through which to explore the myriad trials and tribulations of adolescence, The Closet charts Teo’s growth from uncertainty to self-acceptance. Courageously recounting his sexual awakening, the all too familiar hesitancy around his adult future – and his many, often tumultuous, relationships with family and friends – Teo learns that it is only in celebrating our differences that we can learn to fully embrace the brilliance within ourselves.

But it’s not our fault that we see our bodies as projects in need of constant work: this is just one of the beliefs that has been ingrained in us by diet culture. We have been taught to view ourselves as a collection of ‘problem’ areas for which the billion-dollar diet industry holds the solutions.

Step-by-step, You Are Not A Before Picture provides a framework for changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Working with experts in the fields of psychotherapy, fitness and nutrition, Alex empowers readers to interrogate their underlying beliefs, challenge the external and internal forces that are holding us back, and finally find freedom in our bodies, for good.

‘Compelling and essential . . . will appeal to everyone who enjoyed Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt’ Philippa Perry

In this powerful and deeply personal memoir, award-winning GP Dr Laura Marshall-Andrews introduces us to the patients who have shaped her radical approach to medicine.

Over the course of a decade spent on the frontline of the NHS, Dr Laura witnessed lives being adversely affected by one-size-fits-all treatments. Determined to create change, she began to envisage a new way to care that prioritised the lived experience of her patients.

Dr Laura Marshall-Andrews is a GP in Brighton. She founded The Brighton Health and Wellbeing Centre, one of the country’s first Integrated Practices, which has a vibrant Arts Programme and Complementary Health team. The practice won Innovators of the Year in the 2014 national GP awards and was a finalist in the Kate Granger Compassionate Care Awards in 2016. She sits on the council of the Royal College of Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Created with the help of doctors, artists and complementary health practitioners, Dr Laura’s pioneering holistic approach was revelatory. From those whose lives were changed by ‘ineffective’ drugs, to those for whom alternative therapies, kindness and trust proved transformative, her patients began to flourish.

What Seems To Be The Problem? is a heartfelt story of hope, and an urgent call for change in our NHS at a time when it is most in need.

Adventure story, memoir, political call-to-arms, and heartfelt love letter to those she has spent her whole career looking after, WSTBTP is the most important book written by a doctor I’ve read in years.’ Gabriel Weston, surgeon and author of Direct Red: A Surgeon's Story

The Little Book of Marmalade

•Beautiful and fun hardback. Perfect for the gift market, till-points in bookshops and non-trade outlets

•Full of recipes and fun facts about marmalade

•Ideal for the National Trust bookshop, to sit alongside jam-making and other popular preserves

•From an award-winning marmalade-maker from West Sussex

A perfect guide to making marmalade from the award-winning Lucy Deedes.

17 Aug 2023

£ 9.99

Marmalade had been around for hundreds of years – as a Portuguese sweetmeat, an after-dinner digestif, an aphrodisiac – before it turned into the most famous breakfast ingredient ever.

It has been a household staple for over 200 years, including the Queen (who reputedly had Tiptree Orange Marmalade on her white toast).

Some like a clear jelly marmalade, with just a few wafers of peel hanging like seahorses in the jar; some a firm orange mixture with no extras. Some refuse to touch it unless it’s a dark paste, boiled down almost to toffee with a passing suggestion of booze about it.

When Lucy Deedes was a child, she used to sit on the Aga and read aloud to her mother while she cooked. She especially remembers the marmalade-making because the chopping took so long.

She started making my own marmalade when she realised as an adult just how hard it was to buy good marmalade. She began with a good old Katie Stewart recipe, tinkering about with setting points and wrinkles on saucers. Soon, people were asking if they could buy it. And so, she started a business, making it at home in the same way with her mother’s pre-war jam pan (now upgraded to some smart new ones), listening to the radio and experimenting with flavours and peel thicknesses.

Whichever way you like yours, there’s the perfect recipe in The Little Book of Marmalade for you. Let Lucy Deedes, award-winning marmalade-maker, guide you through it for the perfect accompaniment all year round.

You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays

Zora Neale Hurston, Introduction

by Henry Louis Gates Jr., Edited by Genevieve West

• Zora Neale Hurston is one of the most highly acclaimed American writers in history.

14 Sep 2023

£ 10.99

•As with the estates of household names such as Langston Hughes, Agatha Christie, and Harper Lee, members of the Zora Neale Hurston Trust continue to offer their support and resources to elevate this collection to the prominence that Hurston deserves as a literary icon.

• Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon debuted at #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list.

• Hitting a Straight Lick With a Crooked Stick and was listed as a highly anticipated read by the New York Times, Forbes.com, Newsweek, and Buzzfeed.

‘One of the greatest writers of our time.’ Toni Morrison

Zora Neale Hurston was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist. An author of four novels (Jonah’s Gourd Vine, 1934; Their Eyes Were Watching God, 1937; Moses, Man of the Mountain, 1939; and Seraph on the Suwanee, 1948); two books of folklore (Mules and Men, 1935, and Tell My Horse, 1938); an autobiography (Dust Tracks on a Road, 1942); and over fifty short stories, essays, and plays. She attended Howard University, Barnard College and Columbia University, and was a graduate of Barnard College in 1927. She was born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, and grew up in Eatonville, Florida. She died in Fort Pierce, in 1960. In 1973, Alice Walker had a headstone placed at her gravesite with this epitaph: “Zora Neale Hurston: A Genius of the South.”

‘You Don’t Know Us Negroes adds immeasurably to our understanding of Hurston … her words make it impossible for readers to consider her anything but one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century.’ The New York Times Book Review

Introduction by New York Times bestselling author Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Genevieve West

Spanning more than 35 years of work, the first comprehensive collection of essays, criticism, and articles by the legendary author of the Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston, showcasing the evolution of her distinctive style as an author.

You Don’t Know Us Negroes is the quintessential gathering of provocative essays from one of the world’s most celebrated writers, Zora Neale Hurston. Spanning more than three decades and penned during the backdrop of the birth of the Harlem Renaissance, Montgomery bus boycott, desegregation of the military, and school integration, Hurston’s writing articulates the beauty and authenticity of Black life as only she could.

Collectively, these essays showcase the roles enslavement and Jim Crow have played in intensifying Black people’s inner lives and culture rather than destroying it. She argues that in the process of surviving, Black people re-interpreted every aspect of American culture—"modif[ying] the language, mode of food preparation, practice of medicine, and most certainly religion.” White supremacy prevents the world from seeing or completely recognizing Black people in their full humanity and Hurston made it her job to lift the veil and reveal the heart and soul of the race. These pages reflect Hurston as the controversial figure she was – someone who stated that feminism is a mirage and that the integration of schools did not necessarily improve the education of Black students. Also covered is the sensational trial of Ruby McCollum, a wealthy Black woman convicted in 1952 for killing her lover, a white doctor.

Demonstrating the breadth of this revered and influential writer’s work, You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays is an invaluable chronicle of a writer’s development and a window into her world and mind.

‘Reading Hurston, you always wonder what shape her dignity will take next. Her style and spark were her own.’ The New York Times

‘Fierce, insightful and often devilishly funny, her satirical writing is particularly biting.’ The Observer

‘In these essays, which cover themes of race, gender and politics, her writing is characterised by an impish relish that remains both shocking and invigorating today.’ Financial Times Online

The Worst Girl Gang Ever

Bex Gunn and Laura Buckingham

•1 in 4 women experience miscarriage, yet it is still an experience that is often met with silence, shame and isolation.

•Since Laura and Bex launched The Worst Girl Gang Ever podcast, it has had over 250k downloads, with nearly 50k of those in the last three months.

•Unlike other books in this space, TWGGE has a sense of community at its heart. Warm, honest and approachable, it will be an invaluable source of support for anyone experiencing pregnancy loss.

•TWGGE podcast won Best Podcast at the GLOMAMMA Awards in 2021.

•TWGGE has an engaged, growing following on social media, with 20k followers on Instagram alone.

‘Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss and fertility struggles.’ Elle Wright, author of A Bump In The Road

A practical and emotional self-help guide for anyone affected by miscarriage and pregnancy loss, from the co-hosts of the successful podcast, The Worst Girl Gang Ever.

Bex Gunn and nurse, Laura Buckingham are two women sharing their experiences of baby loss with the aim of bringing about change and wider recognition of the subject. They started The Worst Girl Gang Ever podcast in 2020, knowing how little recognition and support there was out there for others who find themselves in this heart-breaking situation. Bex and Laura also run ‘Pathway to Recovery’ courses along with six experts in their fields, aiming to support, nurture and empower women after baby loss.

Following pregnancy loss, it can feel like you’ve forgotten how to speak and need to learn a new language. You can tell your story to a room full of people but if no-one speaks this new language, they won’t understand. They will try but ultimately, they won’t fully grasp what you are saying.

This is us. This is our new language. It is a language built from pain, and it is a language we need to teach others. Welcome to our gang.

We are so, so sorry that you’ve found yourself here. It’s the gang you’d never chose to join but it is also a community chock-a-block full of kind, supportive, warrior women just like you.

We are here to tell you that you are entitled to grieve, and that your grief is not disproportionate to your loss. We are here to open up the dialogue around miscarriage, so we don’t perpetuate the shame, judgement and isolation so many of us feel following pregnancy loss. We are here to equip you with knowledge, tools and guidance to support and help you in whatever way you need.

Let’s get talking. Let’s get sharing. Let’s start empowering and supporting one another.

No more shame, no more taboo, no more silence.

‘Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss and fertility struggles. It’s like the kind friend who climbs down into the hole with you through the worst parts, and gives you a leg back up when you’re ready to try again. Thoughtful, helpful, and a little bit sweary… my kind of manual!’ Elle Wright, Feathering the Empty Nest and author of A Bump In The Road

‘Buckingham and Gunn are part of a growing group of women helping to change the place of miscarriage in public consciousness.’ Nell Frizzell, Vogue

‘[Bex and Laura] are here to offer support to others and smash the stigma of baby loss, with their powerful mantra: “We get you. And we’ve got you.”’ OK

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Revisit childhood classics, but not as you remember them. Familiar fables are turned on their heads as your beloved heroines finally have their say.

Ed Jackson is an English former professional rugby union player who played for a number of sides in England and Wales, including Bath and London Wasps. He represented England and captained both U16 and U18 teams before his career was cut short through a life-changing spinal injury.

Instead of accepting his fate, Ed focused on regaining millimeters of movement in his toe and set himself the task of summiting Mount Snowden. One year on from his accident, Ed defied medical opinion and achieved his goal.

‘A life-affirming story . . . inspirational’ Tim Peake

The Sunday Times Bestseller

From tragedy to triumph, one step at a time – an inspirational story of triumph over adversity against the odds

At just 28 years old, Ed Jackson was told he would never walk again. After a miscalculated dive into a pool, he suffered multiple cardiac arrests, a broken neck and a partially severed spinal cord. Lying paralysed in intensive care, the former rugby player knew his life would never be the same. But he wasn’t ready to give up hope.

Driven by relentless determination, Ed embarked on an incredible journey to independence. Millimetre by millimetre, he began to regain movement in his fingers and toes. Defying the expectations of even the most optimistic doctors, step by step, Ed began to walk again.

Fuelled by a renewed appreciation for life and a determination to help others suffering similar injuries to his own, Ed set his sights on a new challenge: mountaineering. Embarking on a gruelling climb to raise funds for a spinal unit in Kathmandu, Ed realises that, once again, the odds are stacked against him. Will he be able to overcome his own life-changing injury and transform others’ lives for the better?

Lucky is the story of how Ed faced the impossible when it seemed all hope was lost, and shows how you, too, can overcome the biggest challenges that life sends your way.
