Raised by a single mother in the late 1970’s after being abandoned by his father at birth, David lived in a dilapidated house with 6’ high ceilings that leaked when it rained for the first 20 years of his life. Scarred from watching his grandmother suffer while slowly and painfully dying from cancer, living in fear for his life at times due to insane family members threatening him (that were already convicted of murdering his great aunt), and the recipient of multiple other constant childhood traumas, David Pasqualone started life confused, scared, and feeling alone.

He was regularly told by those around him that he was lazy, undisciplined, and useless. Constantly ill as a child and teenager, doctors labeled him as a hypochondriac as he got sicker and sicker over the years. Sent to psychologists instead of diagnostic testing, he was told he was a waste of life constantly by many of those around him. Despite this, David stayed respectful to his elders, but never accepted the lies he was being told about himself.

Once he turned 18, he demanded medical tests and two weeks before his high school graduation, they revealed he had a tumor in his head the size of an orange that was slowly killing him. After two major surgeries, intense radiation therapy, and months stuck at home, David was dying at 19 years old. Even though doctors gave him little hope of survival, David chose to try a holistic approach to healing over more surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. He not only survived, but thrived physically.

The story continues with this young man, who thought he was intellectually a step above Forrest Gump and a functional idiot, finishing college, getting married, thriving in business, and raising a beautiful family. Only to get critically ill again and suffer for 5 years in intense pain after a simple dental visit goes horribly wrong.

Told by multiple physicians to get his affairs in order and prepare for death, David refused to accept this path. Becoming his own medical advisor, David did basically everything opposite of what the doctors told him. He did his best in life each day to heal, but learned to trust God for the results. This phase of his journey brought him into wellness and strength. He got off all of the antidepressants and painkillers the doctors tried to medicate his symptoms with, and once again began to thrive physically.

In 2014 his personal life took a drastic turn when his wife of 14 years derailed and their marriage turned into a long, terrible episode of the Jerry Springer show mixed with the Twilight Zone and the Good Son movie. It was a real-life nightmare.

Fighting to save his marriage, protect his children, and not die from the stress, David spent 6 hard years trying to “fix things” before he learned to accept the reality of what he was facing, make the tough decisions, and move on with life. So he and his children could not only heal from the trauma and PTSD of the hand they were dealt, but fully heal, thrive, and live with joy once again.

David’s life has been full of intense challenges in every area: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, familial, relational, social, and financial. Through this all he has learned that despite our circumstances and personal perspective, God is there for us, loves us, has a bigger plan than we can imagine. And most importantly, if we don’t quit and stay steadfast on our course, we’ll always win and benefit from even the most hideous experiences and hardships.

So while David Pasqualone may have started out life confused, scared, and feeling alone, he now lives life with a passionate purpose, complete confidence, and is surrounded by those he loves. Each day David’s mission is to help people know God, be encouraged into action, find their purpose, live it passionately, and fulfill it steadfastly until their race is over. And with God, nothing is impossible; we cannot fail!

ABOUT TAMERA MOWRY-HOUSLEY, AND YOU SHOULD SIT DOWN FOR THIS

Early in her debut memoir, YOU SHOULD SIT DOWN FOR THIS: A Memoir about Life, Wine, + Cookies (Legacy Lit, 10/4/22), author Tamera Mowry-Housley invites readers to imagine themselves popping over to her Napa Valley home, sitting down in her kitchen after a welcoming hug, surrounded by the smell of freshly baked cookies and having a cup of tea. And that's precisely what reading You Should Sit Down for This feels like: catching up with an old friend over a lovely Earl Grey and too many cookies!

Tamera Mowry-Housley broke onto the scene as the beloved TV star-one half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister, and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera's spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions; however, the transition in the public eye from a teenage star to a grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn't easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered and wondered if living on her terms would ever be her reality. Then, through gumption and grit, she decided it would. By harnessing her inner strength, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. She imparts her brand of wisdom-her Tameraisms-throughout the book and encourages readers to learn from her journey.

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera opens up about:

● exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants

● the pressures of being a teenage star

● her struggle with rejection

● the craziness of dating later in life

● the challenges of balancing family and career

● why it's okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. and much more!

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera is the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives-one who is always ready to top off your wine! A must-read for Tamera's millions of fans, whether they grew up watching her on Sister Sister and Tia & Tamera, or fell in love with her on The Real, the book is a lighthearted and delightful glimpse into the life of a much-loved actor. Tamera will leave readers feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing up in a book that celebrates cookies and the juicy parts of life. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the best versions of ourselves.

ABOUT CODY KEENAN AND GRACE

GRACE: PRESIDENT OBAMA AND TEN DAYS IN THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA (Mariner Books, October 4, 2022) is the riveting story of the most exhilarating and emotional stretch of the Obama presidency, told by the man Obama calls his "Hemingway," his longtime collaborator and chief speechwriter, Cody Keenan.

GRACE is a spellbinding account of the ten most dramatic days of the Obama presidency, when a hate-fueled massacre and looming Supreme Court decisions (the right to health care for working families and the right for same-sex couples to marry) put the character of our country on the line. Cody Keenan takes the readers deep inside the White House to offer the most intimate glimpse into process, procrastination, and crafting speeches at the highest level with Barack Obama, including:

· What happens inside the West Wing after a mass shooting, from someone who's written more eulogies after such tragedies than anyone else on the planet

· Heated Oval Office debates over how and whether to speak that week at all

· A late-night writing session in the First Family's private residence

· Obama's innermost thoughts on race and his use that week of the one word you can't say

· And the moment on Marine One when Obama decided to take a leap of faith in a soaring sermon and surprise everybody by leading the country in a chorus of "Amazing Grace."

In the rarest of White House memoirs, Keenan masterfully narrates the propulsive story of those ten days and offers an intimate look at where we've been and where we can go on our American journey toward progress and hope.

ABOUT CODY KEENAN

Cody Keenan rose from a campaign intern in Chicago to become chief speechwriter at the White House and Barack Obama's post-presidential collaborator. A sought-after expert on politics, messaging, and current affairs, he is a partner at leading speechwriting firm Fenway Strategies and teaches a popular course on political speechwriting at his alma mater Northwestern University. He lives in New York City with his wife Kristen and their daughter Gracie.
