If You Were My Daughter

A Memoir of Healing an Unmothered Heart MARIANNE RICHMOND

"Marianne Richmond’s early life was shaped by trauma and obfuscation, but in If You Were My Daughter she explores the covenant of motherhood and—with clarity, compassion and wit— reclaims her own story." — Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle

Growing up with misdiagnosed epilepsy, nine-year-old Marianne Richmond desperately hopes for help and healing. But her emotionally unavailable mother refuses medication on Marianne's behalf, preferring to try prayer and homeopathy. At age 18, a full-body seizure leads to a diagnosis, medication, and the subsequent discovery and removal of a benign brain tumor Over decades of physical healing, Marianne finds that emotionally healing from her absent mother is harder to do So when her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia, Marianne has a choice to make: will she be present for the mother who rarely felt present to her?

If You Were My Daughter is a story of learning to hear your own voice, of one daughter’s return to wholeness, and ultimately, a story of accepting that, despite all hope and longing, a mother’s “best I could” can still be a mismatch for a daughter’s desires Most of all, Marianne Richmond illuminates how the stories we’re born into shape the ones we tell about ourselves and reminds us that we have the powerful permission to develop a new relationship with what is dicult in our lives and to embody our truest identity.

A beloved author: Marianne Richmond is a beloved children's author whose books have sold nearly 9 5 million copies; her children's stories give parents the words they need to explain their unconditional love for their children.

Huge audience potential: With its emphasis on the authors experiences, this will not only appeal to readers of memoir, but also intergenerational trauma suerers, those with epilepsy, caregivers, and, most importantly: daughters

Profound writing: Richmond brings beautiful writing and storytelling that, true to Marianne's strengths, convey universal truths through profoundly personal stories

Readers will walk away feeling deeply connected to themselves, and the relationships they hold in the world.

Timely topic: Studies show that more than 25% of adults are estranged from a parent, which is a massive increase from the 7% that were estranged in the late 1990s

Thinking Like a Human

The Power of Your Mind in the Age of AI DAVID WEITZNER

A timely, hopeful book about the importance of thinking like a human in the age of AI

AI is at the forefront of everyone's minds: from students and artists, to CEO's and service workers But what exactly is AI, and how does it influence our everyday lives? And more than that, is there a way for us to retain our "humanness" in a world ever-reliant on tech?

This groundbreaking book argues that the key technology we use to make strategic, political, and ethical decisions is flawed As we race headlong into a future where we outsource all of our problem solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat to humanity is not superintelligent machinery, but a lack of trust in the power of our own minds. This book oers a new way forward our humanness can help each of us make better decisions and create a healthier relationship with the world around us

In these pages, Dr David Weitzner walks us through how AI often fails and how that aects our lives. But readers will also meet the rockstars, inventors, and business leaders who embody truly human thinking and are changing our world for the better in an era rampant with AI malpractice while being taught how to do the same

Super timely: AI continues to be a discussion-worthy and this is a completely fresh take on the topic

Accessible: using holistic human stories to explore the topic, Weitzner's book transcends politics and oers a nuanced discussion of a big topic

Audience potential: for fans of pop-sci and big idea nonfiction, futurists, leaders; author is regularly invited to speak and write on the topic and runs a blog with over 200,000 monthly readers

Drink Water and Mind Your Business

A Black Woman's Guide to Unlearning the BS and Healing Your Self-Esteem DONNA ORIOWO

Self-esteem ain’t self-taught and it does see color.

Let’s be real: society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind And as a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else’s needs over our own We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting! Instead of feeling good about how dope we are regardless of our service, bank account, or looks we only feel good about what we do for others.

Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women… except when they need us to either save them or serve them. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we possibly live our best lives? How are we supposed to feel confident, secure, and fabulous AF in our bodies?

The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem as we know it has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long It’s time to put power where it actually belongs!

In Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna Oriowo helps readers understand the basic foundations of self-esteem what it is, how society molds it, and how it aects us all and oers real, meaningful solutions to feel like the most glorious and badass versions of themselves Based on years of research and Dr Donna’s career as a licensed sex and relationship therapist, this book will help you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, understand your immense worth, and pursue a life that brings you pleasure and joy

Author Credentials and Platform: Dr Donna Oriowo is a licensed sex therapist who specifically studies the mental and sexual health of Black women She owns a thriving therapy practice and has built a strong community of online followers (17k on TikTok)

Timely Topics: This book speaks to relevant issues like racism, imposter syndrome, self-esteem, capitalism, and patriarchy.

Impact: This book is a love letter to and a celebration of Black women. It will inspire and uplift readers, resulting in real and lasting change in their lives.

From the co-host of the hit podcast The Mom Hour, The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Need is "an invaluable resource" (Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project and host of the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast) Say hello to your guide to the last stage of "active" parenting as your teenagers prepare to step into the world and you prepare to step back into yourself.

We read the parenting books We sign our kids up for the activities We cheer from the sidelines And then they get ready to leave We know it’s coming (and sometimes, when things are really rough, we look forward to it!)

The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read is the guide for moms getting ready to launch their almost-adult kids and enter the empty nesting stage of their lives

Author Meagan Francis has been blogging and podcasting about motherhood for more than 25 years, going from five kids under her roof to just two With this book, she oers midlife mothers a roadmap to reinventing their relationships with themselves, their kids, and the world around them

Podcast powerhouse: Megan Francis created The Mom Hour podcast (over 15 million downloads to date) with co-host Sarah Powers to talk about motherhood, and they have since formed an engaged, inclusive community around their approach to parenting

Amazing reviews: Major voices like Gretchen Rubin are signing this book's praises with comments like: “As parents, how do we evolve from the “arms full” to the “hands free” stage of family life, as our children leave the nest? With cutting-edge research, practical suggestions, humor, and many stories from her own experience as the mother of a big family, writer Meagan Francis provides an invaluable resource for anyone making this bittersweet transition with both its pitfalls and its possibilities”

A necessary resource for parents: Parents (especially moms) are being more thoughtful about their approach to emptynesting and actively looking for resources to help them through a transition that has often been minimized or overlooked

When We Spoke to the Dead

How Ghosts Gave American Women Their Voice ILISE CARTER

An examination of America's long and dark history with the occult and how the spiritualist movement has forever changed our understanding of politics, science, and pop culture.

Spiritualism's influence aects every corner of society As political as it is spiritual, the movement was once defined by the belief that the living could speak freely with the dead, and that the dead spoke back. Since the mid-1800s, Americans have increasingly embraced occult rituals that have been stripped of their darkness and shined up like a lucky penny But how did these once forbidden practices, like séances and horoscope readings, enter the mainstream?

Beginning with the Fox sisters, who could converse with the dead in New York, When We Spoke to the Dead traces spiritualism’s brightest and darkest characters across the nation through extensive research and interviews with present-day believers, debunkers, and historians to make sense of how Americans, who once hung women for witchcraft, have now accepted occult practices so much that they buy ritual sage at Walmart Digging through layers of colonialism, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, health, and politics, When We Spoke to the Dead examines how we got here and why America continues to be obsessed with the occult

Cultural obsession with death and the occult: Books about death (and communing with the dead), spiritualism, witches, the paranormal, and the occult are surging in popularity and consumer demand. September 16,

Many entry points: This book touches countless topics that interest nonfiction readers, such as American history, death and mortality, spiritualism, the occult, witches, paranormal phenomena, travel, feminism, and pop culture

Fascinating author: Ilise Carter is an author, journalist, and professional sideshow performer (sword-swallowing and fire-eating) She's also a former corporate speaker who knows how to captivate an audience

Essays and Overthinkings MAEVE DUNIGAN

But in Maeve Dunigan's case it's taken more extreme forms, like letting her appendix rupture in a McDonald's because she didn't want her friend to think she was flaky Like Maeve, so many of us are willing to jump through bizarre hoops in futile attempts to control others’ perceptions of ourselves We all have a primal desire to belong, and the things we do to satisfy that desire end up being really funny

In Read This to Look Cool, Maeve highlights the everyday absurdity inherent in the constant performance of ourselves through a series of hilarious, sometimes all-too-relatable essays and satire pieces Maeve knows there's nothing cooler than being seen reading a book: it’s sophisticated, it’s charming, it says “I have an iPhone, but I don’t even know where it is”

Laugh-out-loud funny and painfully real, Read This to Look Cool explores our anxieties and ask why we care so much, speaking specifically to a generation growing up with social media and the constant feeling of being perceived

Connected author: A journalist and contributor for outlets such as The New Yorker, The Dodo, McSweeney's, and Reductress, Maeve Dunigan is well-connected within the media industry and has a unique talent for writing satire and humor

Broad audience appeal: For fans of Dolly Alderton and Samantha Irby, this essay collection will appeal to Millennial and GenZ women who understand the absurdity of growing up under the constant scrutiny of social media.

This Skirt Won't Work!

How Women Athletes Changed Their Clothes and Changed the Game?

JENNIFER COOPER

This spirited picture book looks at five trailblazing women in sports who cast aside the stuy, confining outfits they were expected to wear in favor of clothes they could move in!

Imagine trying to play tennis in a long dress, or swimming laps wearing heavy petticoats! That’s how it used to be for girls in sports. But when a few women athletes dared to change their clothes, they changed the game

See how cyclist Kittie Knox, swimmer Annette Kellerman, tennis player Suzanne Lenglen, Albertine LePensee and her Canadian hockey teammates, and Lily Parr with her soccer team flouted convention and risked scandal to wear things they could truly play in. They decided "this skirt won't work!" and donned bloomers, shorter skirts, or even modified men's garments in order to up their game, and in doing so helped change standards for what women could wear and do! Features back matter with cool facts about each woman and team, as well as a look at women athletes today who continue to take a stand for clothes that are more comfortable and inclusive
