Between Breaths A Memoir of Panic and Addiction
Elizabeth Vargas
DESCRIPTION: A no-holds-barred memoir of anxiety, addiction, and recovery, from beloved ABC 20/20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas. From the moment she uttered the brave and honest words, "I am an alcoholic," to interview George Stephanopoulos, Elizabeth Vargas began writing her story, as her experiences were still raw. Now, in BETWEEN BREATHS, Vargas discusses her accounts of growing up with anxiety-which began suddenly at the age of six when her father served in Vietnam-and how she dealt with this anxiety as she came of age, to her eventually turning to alcohol for relief. She tells of how she found herself living in denial, about the extent of her addiction and keeping her dependency a secret for so long. She addresses her time in rehab, her first year of sobriety, and the guilt she felt as a working mother who had never found the right balance. Honest and hopeful, BETWEEN BREATHS is an inspiring read. KEY SELLING POINTS: COMMITTED AUTHOR: Elizabeth Vargas, with the support of ABC, will do a tremendous amount of promotion for this memoir. ON SALE DATE: September 13, 2016
ANNOUNCED FIRST PRINT:
BESTSELLING TOPIC: Scott Stossel's My Age of Anxiety meets David Carr's The Night of the Gun in a riveting memoir of addiction and recovery.

The Orphan Mother A Novel
Robert Hicks
DESCRIPTION: An epic account of one remarkable woman's quest for justice from the New York Times bestselling author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country. In the years following the Civil War, Mariah Reddick, former slave to Carrie McGavock—the "Widow of the South"—has quietly built a new life for herself as a midwife to the women of Franklin, Tennessee. But when her ambitious, politically-minded grown son, Theopolis, is murdered, Mariah—no stranger to loss—finds her world once more breaking apart. How could this happen? Who wanted him dead? Mariah's journey to uncover the truth leads her to unexpected people—including Robert Cannon, a recent arrival to town, fleeing a difficult past of his own—and forces her to confront the truths of her own past. THE ORPHAN MOTHER brims with the vivid prose and historical research that has won Robert Hicks recognition as a "master storyteller" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Earth in Human Hands The Rise of Terra Sapiens and Hope for Our Planet
Dr. David Grinspoon
DESCRIPTION: NASA Astrobiologist and renowned scientist Dr. David Grinspoon brings readers an optimistic message about humanity's future in the face of climate change. For the first time in Earth's history, one species—humans—is knowingly altering our planet's evolution, exerting increasing influence and attempting stewardship. How we handle this juncture may very well determine the fate not just of our species, but of life, and the planet. Without minimizing the challenges of the next century, Grinspoon shows how the 10,000-year view is both essential and hopeful. Having spent his career studying the ways in which planets undergo catastrophic changes, he suggests that the present moment is not only one of peril, but also great potential. We need a new vision of the future, one in which we have embraced our role as planet-shapers, and learned to use our technological skills to enhance the survival prospects not just of humanity but of all life on Earth. KEY SELLING POINTS: ACCESSIBLE: Like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Grinspoon is an accomplished scientist who explores serious, complicated issues with a light, accessible style. ON SALE DATE: December 6, 2016

POSITIVE MESSAGE: Unlike most books about our long-term prospects in the face of climate change, Grinspoon delivers an optimistic message.

Pendergast is missing—seemingly drowned off the coast of Massachusetts in the wake of his most recent investigation (chronicled in Crimson Shore). Pendergast's ward, Constance, reeling from his disappearance, retreats into her chambers deep beneath their mansion on Riverside Drive. She and Pendergast's manservant, Proctor, are alone in the mansion when Pendergast's fearsome brother Diogenes— long believed dead—suddenly materializes. Proctor is knocked cold in the ensuing scuffle and when he awakes, he is horrified to discover that Diogenes has taken Constance. Proctor immediately sets off in pursuit. But when he finally catches up, he makes a ghoulish discovery: in Constance's place there is only a refrigerated coffin. Diogenes, it seems, has already taken his revenge...Or is something more insidious going on beneath the surface?

No Man's Land David Baldacci
DESCRIPTION: Following his #1 New York Times bestsellers The Escape and The Forgotten, David Baldacci returns with his next thriller featuring military investigator John Puller. John Puller's mother disappeared nearly 30 years ago. Despite an intensive search and investigation, she was never seen again. But new allegations have come to light suggesting that Puller's father—now suffering from dementia and living in a VA hospital—may have murdered his wife. Puller is officially barred from working on the case—and faces a potential court martial if he disobeys the order—but he knows he can’t sit this investigation out. When intelligence operative Veronica Knox turns up, Puller realizes that there is far more to this case than he had originally thought. Puller will stop at nothing to discover the truth about what happened to his mother…even if it means proving that his father is a killer.

On a cold December day in northern upstate New York, the body of high school senior Joy Enright is discovered in the woods at the edge of a pond. She had been presumed drowned, but an autopsy shows that she was, in fact, strangled.

As a web of small-town secrets comes to light, a dramatic conclusion reveals the truth about Joy’s death.

Whiplash The New Rules for Surviving a Faster Future
Joi Ito, Jeff Howe

The future will run on an entirely new operating system, a major upgrade, that comes with a steep learning curve. The logic of this faster future is different from the past, and the people who succeed will be the ones who learn to think differently. In WHIPLASH, Joi Ito and Jeff Howe—the brilliant minds from the MIT Media Lab—have distilled that logic into nine organizing principles for navigating and surviving this tumultuous period.

Kenya is exactly the kind of woman she realizes she wants to be: a successful author with a loving husband and impeccable taste in fashion. She begins copying her role model—buying the same clothes, cutting her hair in the same style, adopting the same mannerisms, telling her fiancé to act the same way as Kenya's husband. It's not that Simone wants to be Kenya. She just wants to be exactly like Kenya. Kenya isn't worried. She knows Simone is a good person who doesn't mean any harm and that her mimicry is sincere admiration. Until she discovers how far Simone's obsession has gone. Then she breaks all ties. The more Kenya ignores her, the more insecure and hurt Simone becomes. Soon, those feelings turn to resentment, and Simone vows to do whatever is necessary to get Kenya's attention.

All the Lives I Want Essays About My Best Friends Who Happen to Be Famous Strangers
Alana Massey
DESCRIPTION: From rising online star Alana Massey, who is poised to explode onto the literary scene, a collection of essays examining the intersection of the personal with pop culture through the lives of pivotal female figures—from Sylvia Plath to Lil’ Kim—in the spirit of Chuck Klosterman if he were a millennial feminist. With both Didion-like coolness, and moments of true fan-girl worship, Massey examines the lives of the women who reflect our greatest aspirations and darkest fears back onto us. A cultural critique and a finely wrought fan letter, interwoven with stories that are achingly personal, ALL THE LIVES I WANT is also an exploration of mental illness, the sex industry, and addiction. But it is, above all, a paean to the celebrities who have shaped a generation of women—from Sylvia Plath to Lil’ Kim, Scarlett Johansson to Beyoncé, Courtney Love, Amber Rose, Anna Nicole Smith and many more.

DESCRIPTION: A new tour de force from the bestselling author of Free Food for Millionaires, for readers of The Kite Runner and Cutting for Stone. Sweeping in scope yet deeply personal, PACHINKO follows one Korean family’s desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs across generations—from the 1910 Japanese annexation through the late 1980s. Hoonie, a saintly father born disfigured, is only the beginning of a Dickensian cast of characters, exceptional people in exile from a homeland they never knew and caught in the indifferent arc of history: a young, unwed mother fears social disgrace; a tubercular minister saves her; a powerful gangster pulls strings to control his loved ones’ lives, and many more. Although years pass and the family evolves, a strong sense of shared cultural history ties them together and gives them deep roots. As they experience great joy, dark yearning, victory and despair, this hugely satisfying novel explores the enduring questions of faith, family, and identity.

Her father, a charming alcoholic who hurtled between depression and mania, was dead by the time she was 18.

Why did the man who killed her receive such a light sentence? What darkness did Leah inherit from herparents? Leah was left to put together her own future and, now in her memoir, the story of her parents’ lost lives.

David’s grieving mother, Perri, tries to keep Jane from bringing up the past.

Neal D. Barnard, MD Recipes by Dreena Burton DESCRIPTION: New York Times bestselling author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals the shocking truth about cheese—the dangerous addiction that is harming your health—and presents a radical program to lose weight and feel great.

In THE CHEESE TRAP, Dr. Neal Barnard presents a comprehensive program to help readers break free of their cheese addiction so they can lose weight, boost energy, and improve their overall health. This easy-to-follow diet features a treasury of healthy recipes that will tame even the toughest cravings—from pizza, to lasagna, to ice cream and cheesecake.

Invincible You The 8 Secrets of Long-lasting Health and Wealth
Jean Chatzky, Michael F. Roizen MD, Ted Spiker
DESCRIPTION: Two of the world's experts explain the vital link between health and wealth that could add years to your life. All the money in the world doesn't mean a thing if we can't get out of bed, and the healthiest body in the world won't stay that way if we're frazzled about five figures worth of debt. TODAY show financial expert Jean Chatzky and the Cleveland Clinic's chief wellness officer Dr. Michael Roizen explain the vital connection between health and wealth—giving readers all the tactics, strategies, and knowhow to live longer, healthier, more lucrative lives. The same principles that allow us to achieve a better body will allow us to do the same for our investment portfolio. For instance, physical and financial stability comes down to the same equation: Inflow versus outflow. Do we burn more calories than we ingest? Likewise, are we making more money than we spend? The authors detail scientific ways to improve our behavior so the answers tilt in readers' favor. KEY SELLING POINTS: HUGE AUDIENCE: 77 million baby boomers who worry about the money and vitality they will need to retire and enjoy their lives. ON SALE DATE: March 14, 2017

Whistlestop Reporting the Stories that Make Campaign History
John Dickerson
DESCRIPTION: From Face the Nation moderator and Slate political columnist John Dickerson, WHISTLESTOP tells the stories behind the stories of the most memorable (and forgotten) moments in American presidential campaign history. WHISTLESTOP tells the tales reporters and campaign aides rehash at the bar, often shorthanded for reference: "Dukakis in the tank," "Cuomo's plane to New Hampshire," or "Reagan seizing the microphone." These are insider stories, but they are not just for political junkies. They are human and full of drama and switchbacks, nervous gambits hatched in hotel rooms, and crack ups of longplanned stratagems. WHISTLESTOP also tells the forgotten stories about the bruising and reckless campaigns of the 19th century, showing that some of the most modern feeling elements of the American presidential campaign were born before the roads were paved and electric lights lit the convention halls.

DESCRIPTION: The moving, untold family story behind Abraham Zapruder’s film footage of the Kennedy assassination and its lasting impact on our world.

With the help of personal family records, previously sealed archival sources, and interviews, she traces the film’s complex journey through history, considering its impact on her family and the public realms of the media, courts, Federal government, and the arts community. Part biography, part family history, and part historical narrative, Zapruder shows how 26 seconds of film changed a family and raised some of the most important social, cultural, and moral questions of our time.

On her first day at a new school, Lily befriends one of the daughters of infamous avant-garde painter Evan Trentham. In an attempt to escape the stifling conservatism of 1930’s Australia, Evan and his wife create a wild, makeshift family of like-minded artists, all living and working together. An only child, Lily becomes infatuated with the Trenthams’ creative chaos and longs to fully belong. But as the years pass, she sees how themes in their art begin to shape real lives, with dire Faustian bargains and spectacular falls from grace.

The Naughty Nineties The Triumph of the American Libido
David Friend
DESCRIPTION: THE NAUGHTY NINETIES is the first comprehensive look at the decade when Baby Boomers—permissive, sexually progressive, and morally fluid—took over Washington, Hollywood, and Madison Avenue, ultimately winning the culture wars. Reminiscent of Jessica Mitford’s The American Way of Death and Tracy Kidder’s The Soul of a New Machine in its vivid reportage, THE NAUGHTY NINETIES trains a sophisticated critical eye on the 90s sex explosion, revealing how thoroughly and irrevocably it has altered the face of American mores. Vanity Fair editor David Friend presents a synthesis of expert analysis, exhaustive research, and the compelling stories of some two dozen unsung sexual pioneers: the medical team that discovered Viagra and Viagra Patient Zero; the chief marketers behind the WonderBra; the victim of an abortion clinic bombing; the Promise Keeper dad; and the Clinton aide who witnessed the Lewinsky scandal from the front lines.

Drinking in America Our Secret History
Susan Cheever
DESCRIPTION: Now in paperback, bestselling author Susan Cheever’s fascinating chronicle of our nation’s tumultuous love affair with alcohol. From the drunkenness of the Pilgrims to Prohibition hijinks, drinking has always been a cherished custom: a way to celebrate and a way to grieve and a way to take the edge off. In DRINKING IN AMERICA, bestselling author Susan Cheever tells the often-overlooked story of how alcohol has shaped America from the seventeenth century to the twentieth. Seen through rosé-colored glasses, American history takes on a vibrancy and a tragedy missing from other accounts. At many pivotal points—the illegal Mayflower landing at Cape Cod, the enslavement of African Americans, and the Kennedy assassination—alcohol has acted as a catalyst. Both a lively history and an unflinching cultural investigation, DRINKING IN AMERICA unveils the volatile ambivalence behind one nation’s complicated relationship with alcohol.

The Light of the World A Memoir
Elizabeth Alexander
DESCRIPTION: "Both raw and exquisitely crafted, mercilessly direct and sometimes lavishly metaphorical...THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is, quite simply, a miracle."—Boston Sunday Globe In THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, Elizabeth Alexander finds herself at an existential crossroads after the sudden death of her husband. Reflecting with gratitude on the exquisite beauty of the intimacy they shared, grappling with the resulting void, and finding solace in caring for her two teenage sons, Alexander channels her poetic sensibilities into rich, lucid prose that universalizes a very personal quest for meaning and acceptance in the wake of loss. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is both an endlessly compelling memoir and a deeply felt meditation on the blessings of love, family, art, and community. For those who have loved and lost, or for anyone who cares about what matters most, this book is required reading.

Save Yourself Essays
Cameron Esposito
DESCRIPTION: From rising comedy star Cameron Esposito, called "the future of comedy" by none other than Jay Leno, comes a book of essays that tackle the big issues explored in her comedy, including gender, sexuality and feminism—and how her Catholic childhood prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian in ways the Pope never could have imagined. Here Cameron offers funny and insightful essays about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where being gay can get you expelled) to planning a wedding with two brides (who don’t wear dresses) to accepting yourself for who you are—even if you’re an awkward tween with an eyepatch (which Cameron was). Full of heart, humor, and cringe-worthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty can relate to, Cameron’s debut collection is for that timid Catholic kid in all of us—and the fearless standup yearning to break free.
