Summary:

This is a truly character-driven novel that explores how people define themselves, the creation of family and home, and the importance of memory and language. . . . Fans of historical epics wont be able to put this book down.Historical Novel Society

Emotionally satisfying. . . . A remarkable character portrait.Publishers Weekly

The author of The Secret Women tells the story of a brave and enduring woman as indomitable as Ernest Gaines legendary Miss Jane Pittman, in a breathtaking novel that combines the epic romance and adventure of Outlander, the sweeping drama of Roots, and the haunting historical power of Barracoon.

Things Past Telling is a remarkable historical epic that charts one unforgettable womans journey across an ocean of years as vast as the Atlantic that will forever separate her from her homeland. 

Born in West Africa in the mid-eighteenth century, Maryam Prescilla Gracea.k.a Momma Grace will live a long, wondrous life marked by hardship, oppression, opportunity, and love. Though she will be gifted various names, her birth name is known to her alone. Over the course of 100-plus years, she survives capture, enslavement by several property owners, the Atlantic crossing when she is only eleven years of age, and a brief stint as a pirates ward, acting as both a spy and a translator. 

Maryam learns midwifery from a Caribbean-born wise woman, whose craft combines curated techniques and medicines from African, Indigenous, and European women. Those midwifery skills allow her to sometimes transcend the racial and class barriers of her enslavement, as she walks the razors edge trying to balance the lives and health of her own people with the cruel economic mandates of the slave holders, who view infants born in bondage not as flesh-and-blood children but as investment property. 

Throughout her triumphant and tumultuous life Maryam gains and loses her homeland, her family, her culture, her husband, her lovers, and her children. Yet as the decades pass, this tenacious woman never loses her sense of self.  

Inspired by a 112-year-old woman the author discovered in an 1870 U.S. Federal census report for Ohio, loosely based on the authors real-life female ancestors, spanning more than a hundred years, from the mid-eighteen-century to the end of Americas Civil War, and spanning across the globe, from what is now southern Nigeria to the islands of the Caribbean to North America and the land bordering the Ohio River, Things Past Telling is a breathtaking story of a past that lives on in all of us, and a life that encompasses the bestand worstof our humanity.

Title: Happy People Are Annoying

Narrator: Josh Peck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:18:14

Language: English

Release date: 03-15-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Arts & Entertainment, General Comedy

Summary:

Narrated by Josh Peck

A wonderfully candid memoir from one of the most recognizable faces of a generation, actor, writer, Youtuber, and television superstar, Josh Peck. In his warm and inspiring book, Josh reflects on the many stumbles and silver linings of his life and traces a zigzagging path to redemption. Written with such impressive detail and aching honesty, Happy People are Annoying is full of surprising life lessons for anyone seeking to accept their past and make peace with the complicated face in the mirror.

Josh Peck rose to near-instant fame when he starred for four seasons as the comedic center of Nickelodeons hit show Drake & Josh. However, while he tried to maintain his role as the funniest, happiest kid in every room, Josh struggled alone with the kind of rising anger and plummeting confidence that quietly took over his life.

For the first time, Josh reflects on his late teens and early twenties. Raised by a single mother, and coming of age under a spotlight that could be both invigorating and cruel, Josh filled the cratering hole in his self-worth with copious amounts of food, television, drugs, and all of the other trappings of young stardom. Until he realized the only person standing in his way...was himself. Today, with a string of lead roles on hit television shows and movies, and one of the most enviable and dedicated fanbases on the internet, Josh Peck is more than happy, hes finally, enthusiastically content.

Happy People are Annoying is the culmination of years of learning, growing, and finding bright spots in the scary parts of life. Written with the kind of humor, strength of character, and unwavering self-awareness only someone who has mastered their ego can muster, this memoir reminds us of the life-changing freedom on the other side of acceptance.

Title: Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids

Author: Mona Delahooke

Narrator: Emily Ellet

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:14:38

Language: English

Release date: 03-15-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Non-Fiction, Health & Wellness, Psychology, Parenting

Summary:

From a leading child psychologist comes this groundbreaking new understanding of childrens behavior, offering insight and strategies to support both parents and children.

Over her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mona Delahooke has routinely counseled distraught parents who struggle to manage their childrens challenging, sometimes oppositional behaviors. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a childs lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums, and other out of control behavior. But, as she has shared with these families, a perspective shift is needed. Behavior, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a childs unique physiologic makeup.

In Brain-Body Parenting, Dr. Delahooke offers a radical new approach to parenting based on her clinical experience as well as the most recent research in neuroscience and child psychology. Instead of a top-down approach to behavior that focuses on the thinking brain, she calls for a bottom-up approach that considers the essential role of the entire nervous system, which produces childrens feelings and behaviors.

When we begin to understand the biology beneath the behavior, suggests Dr. Delahooke, we give our children the resources they need to grow and thriveand we give ourselves the gift of a happier, more connected relationship with them. Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills while also encouraging parental self-care, which is crucial for parents to have the capacity to provide the essential co-regulation children need. When parents shift from trying to secure compliance to supporting connection and balance in the body and mind, they unlock a deeper understanding of their child, encouraging calmer behavior, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.

''CNN's former senior tech correspondent shares her front-row seat on the rise of Facebook, Twitter, and other new-media empiresand the geeks turned entrepreneurs who founded them.''People

An unflinching, era-defining story of self-discovery and breaking barriers by award-winning investigative reporter Laurie Segall. 

In 2008, 23-year-old Laurie Segall was a newly minted assistant at CNN and was living in an East Village walk-up apartment. As Wall Street was crashing down, Segall began discovering a group of scrappy misfits who were rising from the ashes of the recession to change the world: the tech entrepreneurs.

A misfit herself, Segall gained entrance to New Yorks burgeoning tech scene, with its limitless cash flow and parties populated by geeks-turned-billionaires. Back at the news desk, she rose through the ranks at CNN, while these entrepreneurs went from minnows to sharks, building companies that would become our democracy and our social fabric: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Uber, Tinder.

Over the course of a decade, Laurie Segall became one of the first reporters to give airtime to many of these foundersfrom Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to Jack Dorsey (Twitter) to Kevin Systrom (Instagram) to Travis Kalanick (Uber)while tracking their evolution and societys cultural shift in the CNN startup beat she created. By the end of her tenure at CNN, she had become its on-air senior technology correspondent and had witnessed the rise of second-wave tech, from the boom to the complicated years to the backlash, as her misfits emerged as some of the worlds most influential leaders.

A coming-of-age narrative chronicling an era transformed, Special Characters is, at its core, a young womans origin storyin love, in career, and in lifeand an account of the humans behind the companies that have shaped our modern society. Filled with emotional heft and razor-sharp observations, Segalls empowering memoir is a richly rendered backstage pass to the tech bubble that reimagined the ethos of our social, political, and cultural experience.

Fans of Brotopia or anyone who wants a backstage pass to Zuckerberg and some of the biggest co.s of our time, youll devour this. The Skimm
