About the book
***The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller***
***The Global #1 Bestseller***
The extraordinary life of Cher can be told by only one person . . . Cher herself.
After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in this intimate celebrity memoir, the first of two parts.
Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center.
She is a lifelong activist and philanthropist.
As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors, and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship.
With her trademark honesty and humor, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.
Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono—and reveals the behind the scenes story of the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.
This powerful autobiography reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother, and the superstar.
It is a life too immense for only one book.
- An Icon’s Origin Story: Before the awards and superstardom, she was a dyslexic child who dreamed of being famous. This is the story of how that girl from a chaotic childhood became a trailblazer.
- The Real Sonny & Cher: Go behind the music to the very beginning of her partnership with Sonny Bono, discovering the complex, deeply personal relationship that created a global phenomenon and ultimately drove them apart.
- 1960s Music Scene: With trademark honesty and humor, Cher recounts her rise through the vibrant, chaotic world of 1960s Hollywood, from Gold Star Studios to topping the Billboard charts.
- Unfiltered & Uncensored: With her trademark humor and candor, Cher holds nothing back about her extraordinary beginnings, the fight to live on her own terms, and the making of a legend.

About the book
A Good Housekeeping Book of the Month
This funny and wise new memoir from Harrison Scott Key, winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor, will inspire laughter and hope for anyone who's ever been possessed by a dream of what they want to be when they grow up.
Little-known author Mark Twain once said that the two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why. He's talking about dreams here, the destiny that calls every living soul to some kind of greatness. What Mr. Twain doesn't say is: A dream is also a monster that wants to eat you. Nobody tells you this part of the American Dream — until now. In this new memoir, Congratulations Who Are You Again, readers join Harrison Scott Key on his outrageous journey to becoming a great American writer.
As a young boy in Mississippi, Harrison possessed many special gifts, such as the ability to read and complete college applications. And yet, throughout young adulthood, he failed at many vocations, until one day, after drinking perhaps too many beers and dusting off his King James Bible, he stumbled across a passage about a lonely pelican, which burst into flame inside him. In a mad blaze of holy illumination, Harrison realized his dream: to set the world afire with the light inside him. He would write a funny book. This was his dream.
With unforgettable wit and tenderness, Congratulations Who Are You Again is Harrison's instructive tale of pursuing his destiny with relentless and often misguided devotion, transforming his life beyond all comprehension: He becomes a signer of autographs, a doer of interviews, a casher of checks that are "worth more money than my father had ever imagined any of us might see, this side of a drug-related felony."
On this journey, Harrison finds that as he gains the world, he stands on the precipice of losing everything that means the most: his family, his mind, his soul. Hilarious, honest, and absolutely practical, Congratulations Who Are You Again is a no-holds-barred look at the life of every ambitious human creature, whether you want to write books or make music, start a business or start a revolution. This is a book for the dreamers.

Loved and Wanted
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Called “Searing” by Publishers Weekly, Loved and Wanted recounts Christa Parravani’s unplanned pregnancy, her unsuccessful effort to obtain an abortion in West Virginia, and the inadequate healthcare and environmental dangers that later threatened her children, with a 4.4-star rating from more than 50 Amazon reviewers. A strong match for readers drawn to candid memoirs about motherhood, reproductive choice, healthcare access, and the policies shaping women’s lives.

About the book
The acclaimed author of the memoir Her recounts her experience dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and the decisions faced by mothers in America.
"Haunting, wild, and quiet at once. A shimmering look at motherhood, in all its gothic pain and glory. I could not stop reading." —Lisa Taddeo, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Three Women
"An inspired memoir—and a reminder of the serious mettle required of every ordinary woman." —Stephanie Danler, New York Times–bestselling author of Sweetbitter and Stray
Christa Parravani was forty years old, in a troubled marriage and financial straits, when she moved her family to Morgantown, West Virginia, feeling lucky to have landed a teaching job at the local university and hopeful that a professor's salary and health insurance might set her young family on a steady path. At first, with terrific new friends and beautiful surroundings, Christina's optimism looked sensible; but just a year after the birth of her second child, she became pregnant again. She sought an abortion. And in the weeks, then months, that followed, nurses misdirected her and doctors avoided her to the point of ultimately failing to provide Christa with reproductive choice. By the time she understood that she would need to leave West Virgina to obtain a safe, legal (though expensive) abortion, she felt it was too late for her, her pregnancy too far along.
She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy—and another terrifying education began: available healthcare was cruelly insufficient to her newborn's needs; indeed, environmental degradation and poor health care were endangering all of Christa's children.
Loved and Wanted is the moving story of a woman's love for her children and a bracing look at the tough choices women are forced to make every day in a nation where policies leave them without sufficient agency over their bodies, their futures, and even their hopes for their children's lives.
"Reveals the cost to us all when we fail to openly personalize the politics of abortion in America." —The New York TimesBook Review
"Parravani's narrative is an American story. It doesn't just hit close to the bone; it reveals the skeleton." —Los Angeles Review of Books

You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
An instant New York Times bestseller called “relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational” by Forbes, this memoir follows Felicia Day from an unconventional homeschooled childhood and early online communities to acting, internet stardom, and creating her own web series, while addressing gaming addiction, anxiety, depression, and burnout, with a 4.7-star rating from more than 3,800 Amazon reviewers.

About the book
The instant New York Times bestseller from “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a “relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational” (Forbes) memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.
When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was “home-schooled for hippie reasons,” she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth—finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930’s detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how “uncool” she really was.
But if it hadn’t been for her strange background—the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day—she might never have had the naïve confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.
Felicia’s rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer’s block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression—and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming.
Showcasing Felicia’s “engaging and often hilarious voice” (USA TODAY), You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now—even for a digital misfit.

Val Kilmer steps out from behind his most famous roles to tell the story of the man beneath Batman, Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison, and Iceman.
I’m Your Huckleberry
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Val Kilmer steps out from behind his most famous roles to tell the story of the man beneath Batman, Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison, and Iceman. Through candid memories, poetry, photographs, romances, faith, and reflections on throat cancer, he revisits a singular Hollywood life with vulnerability and wit. A revealing pick for film fans who want more than a standard celebrity memoir.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In this New York Times bestseller, legendary actor and star of the acclaimed documentary Val shares the stories behind his most beloved roles, reminisces about his star-studded career and love life, and reveals the truth behind his recent health struggles in a remarkably candid autobiography.
Val Kilmer has played many iconic roles over his nearly four-decade film career. A table-dancing Cold War agent in Top Secret! A troublemaking science prodigy in Real Genius. A brash fighter pilot in Top Gun. A swashbuckling knight in Willow. A lovelorn bank robber in Heat. A charming master of disguise in The Saint. A wise-cracking detective in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, Batman, Jim Morrison and the sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.
But who is the real Val Kilmer? With I’m Your Huckleberry, the enigmatic actor at last steps out of character and reveals his true self.
In this uniquely assembled memoir—featuring vivid prose, snippets of poetry and rarely-seen photos—Kilmer reflects on his acclaimed career, including becoming the youngest actor ever admitted to the Juilliard School’s famed drama department, determinedly campaigning to win the lead part in The Doors, and realizing a years-long dream of performing a one-man show as his hero Mark Twain. He shares candid stories of working with screen legends Marlon Brando, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert De Niro, and recounts high-profile romances with Cher, Cindy Crawford, Daryl Hannah, and former wife Joanne Whalley. He chronicles his spiritual journey and lifelong belief in Christian Science, and describes travels to far-flung locales such as a scarcely inhabited island in the Indian Ocean where he suffered from delirium and was cared for by the resident tribe. And he reveals details of his recent throat cancer diagnosis and recovery—about which he has disclosed little until now.
While containing plenty of tantalizing celebrity anecdotes, I’m Your Huckleberry—taken from the famous line Kilmer delivers as Holliday in Tombstone—is ultimately a singularly written and deeply moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of life.

About the book
From “queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory comes this instant New York Times bestseller that tells the story of the remarkable Elizabeth of York, daughter of the White Queen, and mother to the House of Tudor.
When Henry Tudor picks up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth field, he knows he must marry the princess of the enemy house—Elizabeth of York—to unify a country divided by the War of the Roses for nearly two decades.
But his bride is still in love with his slain enemy, Richard III—and her mother and half of England dream of a missing heir, sent into the unknown by the White Queen. While the new monarchy can win power, it cannot win hearts in an England that plots for the triumphant return of the House of York.
Henry’s greatest fear is that somewhere a prince is waiting to invade and reclaim the throne. When a young man who would be king leads his army and invades England, Elizabeth has to choose between the new husband she is coming to love and the boy who claims to be her beloved lost brother: the rose of York come home at last.

About the book
1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this remarkably candid and courageous memoir, the King of Pop tells the story of his life in his own words—complete with exclusive photographs and drawings.
“Moonwalk provides a startling glimpse of the artist at work and the artist in reflection.”—Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely reserved lifestyle have been a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. In Moonwalk, he breaks through the wild rumors and widespread intrigue to present an intimate and moving account of his public and private life.
Michael recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. He and his brothers played amateur music shows and seedy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars. He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time.
Michael also shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends . . . including Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it.
Illustrated with photos from the Jackson photo albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as drawings done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a musical genius.
