MacArthur Genius and two-time Pulitzer finalist Sarah Ruhl introduces “Smile”, her memoir detailing her extraordinary ten-year medical and metaphysical odyssey that brought her physical, creative, emotional, and spiritual healing.With a play opening on Broadway, and every reason to smile, Sarah Ruhl has just survived a high-risk pregnancy when she discovers the left side of her face is completely paralyzed. She is assured that 90 percent of Bell's palsy patients see spontaneous improvement and experience a full recovery. Like Ruhl's own mother. But Sarah is in the unlucky ten percent. And for a woman, wife, mother, and artist working in theater, the paralysis and the disconnect between the interior and exterior brings significant and specific challenges. So Ruhl begins an intense decade-long search for a cure while simultaneously grappling with the reality of her new face—one that, while recognizably her own—is incapable of accurately communicating feelings or intentions.In a series of piercing, witty, and lucid meditations, Ruhl chronicles her journey as a patient, wife, mother, and artist. She explores the struggle of a body yearning to match its inner landscape, the pain of postpartum depression, the story of a marriage, being a playwright and working mom to three small children, and the desire for a resilient spiritual life in the face of illness.

An epic story more than 25 years in the making, THE BOOK OF MAGIC is the fourth and final novel in Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series. Readers first fell in love with the Owens sisters (and their quirky great-aunts) in PRACTICAL MAGIC, a bestseller which went on to become a cult favorite film starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. After years of fans begging Alice for more on this magical family, her prequels THE RULES OF MAGIC and MAGIC LESSONS revealed the family's origins and source of the three-hundred-year-old curse keeping them from love. Now, in THE BOOK OF MAGIC, Alice Hoffman shares the last chapter, following three generations of the Owens family as they journey to Paris and London to their ancestral lands in England, searching for their youngest who's on her own quest to break the curse by any means necessary. “I love Alice Hoffman. Full of Hoffman's bewitching and lucid prose and vivid characters, THE BOOK OF MAGIC is ultimately about the very human magic of family and love and actions that echo through generations. Filled with secrets and splendor and light and dark, the novel works as well as a stand-alone as it does as a conclusion to a mesmerizing series. It casts a spell.”–Matt Haig, New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library
