Yet, for all the accolades and achievements, her success came at a high price.<\/em><\/p>\n Anxiety, depression, financial struggles, illness\u2014Debbie writes candidly about these and other challenges, and how she ultimately redesigned her life to overcome them. This is the story of her not only surviving, but thriving: returning to her musical roots, releasing new albums, going back out on tour, and living the best version of her authentic self to remain\u2026Eternally Electric!<\/em> – Gallery Books<\/p>\n A poignant, heartfelt, and funny memoir about how, in 1985, Michael J. Fox brought to life two iconic roles simultaneously\u2014Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. An amazing true story as only Michael J. Fox can tell it<\/em><\/p>\n In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox\u2019s days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg\u2014Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night\u2014day after day, for months.<\/em><\/p>\n Fox\u2019s nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex\u2019s bravado, Marty\u2019s flair, and Fox\u2019s comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<\/em><\/p>\n In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time\u2014a slice of entertainment history that\u2019s never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.<\/em> – Flatiron Books<\/p>\n Heart Life Music is a love letter to the journey: all the places I\u2019ve gone and how we got here.

Beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019ve had a lot of fun, a bunch of challenges, a few moments of wondering \u201cwhat the hell?\u201d\u2014and more love than any artist deserves. You\u2019re gonna meet so many people, some you\u2019d never expect to see crossing my path, whether it\u2019s the Wailers, Willie Nelson, John Madden, or Grace Potter. Maybe you won\u2019t be surprised at all. I just know this: A whole lot has happened.<\/em><\/p>\n For anyone who\u2019s found a piece of your life in any of my songs, this is for you. Open a cold drink, get out on your deck or your boat or wherever your happy space is, jump in, and live them along with me.<\/em><\/p>\n And if you\u2019ve got dreams, whatever they are, know they don\u2019t always come easy. But if you believe, do the hard work, and keep coming back, you\u2019d be amazed at what can happen. I\u2019m a pretty average guy, so look at this\u2014know you might could do it, too.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a helluva trip around the sun.<\/em> – William Morrow<\/p>\n \u201cThe story of my life is the story of my stories,\u201d writes Susan Orlean in this extraordinary, era-defining memoir from one of the greatest practitioners of narrative nonfiction of our time. Joyride is a magic carpet ride through Orlean\u2019s life and career, where every day is an opportunity for discovery and every moment holds the potential for wonder. Throughout her storied career, her curiosity draws her to explore the most ordinary and extraordinary of places, from going deep inside the head of a regular ten-year-old boy for a legendary profile (\u201cThe American Man Age Ten\u201d) to reporting on a woman who owns twenty-seven tigers, from capturing the routine magic of Saturday night to climbing Mt. Fuji.<\/em><\/p>\n Not only does Orlean\u2019s account of a writing life offer a trove of indispensable gleanings for writers, it\u2019s also an essential and practical guide to embracing any creative path. She takes us through her process of dreaming up ideas, managing deadlines, connecting with sources, chasing every possible lead, confronting writer\u2019s block and self-doubt, and crafting the perfect lede\u2014a Susan specialty.<\/em><\/p>\n While Orlean has always written her way into other people\u2019s lives in order to understand the human experience, Joyride is her most personal book ever\u2014a searching journey through finding her feet as a journalist, recovering from the excruciating collapse of her first marriage, falling head-over-heels in love again, becoming a mother while mourning the decline of her own mother, sojourning to Hollywood for films based on her work including Adaptation and Blue Crush, and confronting mortality. Joyride is also a time machine to a bygone era of journalism, from Orlean\u2019s bright start in the golden age of alt-weeklies to her career-making days working alongside icons such as Robert Gottlieb, Tina Brown, David Remnick, Anna Wintour, Sonny Mehta, and Jonathan Karp\u2014forces who shaped the media industry as we know it today.<\/em><\/p>\n Infused with Orlean\u2019s signature warmth and wit, Joyride is a must-read for anyone who hungers to start, build, and sustain a creative life. Orlean inspires us to seek out daily inspiration and rediscover the marvels that surround us.<\/em> – Avid Reader Press \/ Simon & Schuster<\/p>\n \u201cPeople say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I\u2019m like, f*** no. If I\u2019d been clean and sober, I wouldn\u2019t be Ozzy. If I\u2019d done normal, sensible things, I wouldn\u2019t be Ozzy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Husband. Father. Grandfather. F*cking Icon.<\/em> In 2018, at the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n Then: disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour \u2013 and all public life \u2013 as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.<\/em><\/p>\n LAST RITES is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy\u2019s descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, as well as his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time.<\/em><\/p>\n Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as \u2018The Godfather of Metal\u2019 and \u2018The Prince of Darkness\u2019 to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.<\/em> – Grand Central Publishing<\/p>\n When Roy Wood Jr. held his baby boy for the first time, he was relieved that his son was happy and healthy, but he felt a strange mix of joy and apprehension. Roy\u2019s own father, a voice of the civil rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama, had passed away when Roy was sixteen. There were gaps in the lessons passed down from father to son and, holding his own child, Roy wondered: Have I managed to fill in those blanks, to learn the lessons I will one day need to teach my boy?<\/em><\/p>\n So Roy looked back to figure out who had taught him lessons throughout his life and which he could pass down to his son. Some of his father figures were clear, like a colorful man from Philadelphia navigating life after prison, who taught Roy the value of having a vision for his life, or his fellow comedians, who showed him what it took to make it as a working stand-up performer. Others were less obvious, from the teenage friends who convinced him to race \u201cleaf boats\u201d carrying lit matches in the middle of a drought to a drug-addicted restaurant colleague who played hoops while Roy scoured dirty dishes to big names in Hollywood, like Trevor Noah and more.<\/em><\/p>\n In The Man of Many Fathers, Roy shares what he\u2019s learned with humor and heart, delivering the most memorable lessons, such as how to channel anger through a more successful outlet (hint: never ever try to outfox a single mom), how not to get caught snitching (hint: never snitch), and how to become a good man\u2014and a good dad (hint: listen to your fathers).<\/em> – Crown<\/p>\n In this vulnerable and enlightening book of life lessons, globally renowned performer Cynthia Erivo draws from her singular experience to show us how to embrace being \u201ctoo much\u201d and to live up to the fullest iteration of ourselves.<\/em><\/p>\n It is never too late to build the life you\u2019re seeking.<\/em><\/p>\n Cynthia Erivo learned the music to Wicked a decade before she needed it, not knowing those same lyrics would change her life. Now she has performed those songs on the world stage, showing us there is always time to keep discovering ourselves. And to illustrate that it\u2019s often the parts of ourselves we are told to bury that make us shine.<\/em><\/p>\n In a series of powerful, personal vignettes, Cynthia reflects on the ways she has grown as an actor and human and the practices she\u2019s learned over years of performing and reminds us all we are capable of so much more than we think.<\/em><\/p>\n We all have hopes and dreams that we want to bring across the finish line. We all falter and take missteps. In this book, Cynthia draws from her experiences running marathons, both real and metaphorical, onstage and onscreen, to show how each challenge can help us. She urges readers to lean into the wisdom of their bodies, to understand and strive for a physical and mental balance. Because when we chase our deepest desires, each small step leads us closer to where we want to go.<\/em> – Flatiron Books<\/p>\n From TLC\u2019s Sister Wives star Christine Brown Woolley, a groundbreaking and heartfelt memoir about living in a family like no other and finding the strength to leave Mormonism\u2014and the only life she\u2019s known\u2014behind.<\/em><\/p>\n Christine Brown Woolley had always dreamed of having a picture-perfect family\u2014beautiful children, an adoring husband, and of course, a sisterhood of wives to share him with. Raised in Utah by practicing polygamists, Christine knew her life was less than normal, but that didn\u2019t stop her from loving the full house of her childhood any less.<\/em><\/p>\n Becoming Kody Brown\u2019s third wife in 1994, Christine finally found the big, happy family she had hoped for. When TLC\u2019s hit show Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Christine knew it was her chance to shine a light on the brighter side of polygamy\u2014the helping hands, the lively discussions, and their unmatched devotion to each other. But the cameras also revealed a much darker truth.<\/em><\/p>\n Now, in this candid tell-all, Christine shares for the first time the journey that led her away from polygamy and the bold path she is carving to live apart from all she has ever known. Moving, genuine, and insightful, this is a uniquely powerful tour de force of Christine\u2019s journey toward and beyond her time in the spotlight as a sister wife.<\/em> – Gallery Books<\/p>\n The long-awaited memoir by Priscilla Presley chronicling her difficult, inspiring journey beyond the walls of Graceland and behind the elegant image the world sees.<\/em><\/p>\n Priscilla Presley\u2019s divorce from Elvis left his fans incredulous. How could she leave the man every woman wanted? From the outside, life in Elvis\u2019s mansion looked glamorous and enviable, and in many respects, it was. But inside the mansion, her husband was constantly surrounded by a male entourage while at the gates, lines of beautiful women waited hopefully for an audience with the King. From the time she was seventeen years-old, that life was all Priscilla had known. During her ten years with Elvis, it became painfully apparent that she had no idea who she was outside Elvis\u2019s world. The only way to find herself was to leave that world and seek a new life of her own, because leaving was the only way to survive, for herself and for her daughter.<\/em><\/p>\n Softly, As I Leave You, is the deeply personal story of what Priscilla lost and what she found when she walked away from the man she loved. Despite the legal separation, their love for one another transformed into a touching and tender dynamic that endured until Elvis\u2019s untimely death four years later. Shattered by Elvis\u2019s passing, she had to reinvent herself a second time as the single mother of a talented, often headstrong daughter who never really recovered from her father\u2019s death. Priscilla\u2019s dedication to motherhood was enriched by the birth of her second child, and she gradually found her footing as a businesswoman, actress, designer, and legislative advocate. She transformed Graceland into an international destination and helped guide the development of Elvis Presley Enterprises. But the unexpected, shattering loss of three immediate family members years later brought Priscilla to her knees. She shares her journey with a quiet dignity that will comfort and reassure anyone who has suffered \u2013 and survived \u2013 seemingly unbearable loss.<\/em><\/p>\n A passionate, compassionate, and inspiring story of finding your place in the world, Softly, As I Leave You, is a sweet Southern melody that will take the reader with Priscilla on her long road home.<\/em> – Grand Central Publishing<\/p>\n This title is also available in large print.<\/p>\n A stunning celebration of Dolly Parton\u2019s iconic career as a performer, featuring entertaining personal stories alongside more than 500 full-color photographs, including exclusive images and ephemera from her archive, and an eight-page gatefold listing her lifetime of performances.<\/em><\/p>\n In Star of the Show, the culminating book in Dolly Parton\u2019s photographic trilogy\u2014following Songteller (lyrics) and Behind the Seams (fashion)\u2014the global superstar finally shares a definitive look at her career as one of the world\u2019s most dazzling and beloved performers.<\/em><\/p>\n Featuring engaging stories and memories from Parton\u2019s dynamic life behind the microphone, this book spotlights her signature performances and star-making moments, from singing in front of her family to premiering on the Grand Ole Opry stage and beyond.

Along the way, Dolly shares the stage with Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and others, while offering insight on touring big, singing strong, and staying on top for seven decades.<\/em><\/p>\n Brimming with Parton\u2019s trademark wit and heartfelt sincerity, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage is not only an homage to one of history\u2019s most cherished artists, but also a must-have collector\u2019s item for\u2014and love letter to\u2014any fan of the one and only Dolly Parton.<\/em> – Ten Speed Press<\/p>\n Bobbi Brown has never written her life story\u2026until now.<\/em><\/p>\n In Still Bobbi, she reveals how a young girl from suburban Chicago who was bored at school but had a budding entrepreneurial spirit that she inherited from her Papa Sam, grew up to become a makeup artist to the stars and a beauty industry icon who built two juggernaut brands. The development of Bobbi\u2019s revolutionary, yet simple no makeup makeup philosophy was informed early by two powerful, yet diametrically different women in her life: her loving and very glamorous mother who struggled with mental health issues and her equally-loving, but very practical, non-nonsense, Aunt Alice. In Still Bobbi, Bobbi reveals how these two women, along with her own Midwestern work ethic and personal resilience, continue to inform her life and career to this day.<\/em><\/p>\n In the early \u201990s, when makeup trends were about covering, contouring, and transforming, Bobbi blazed her own path, using makeup that accentuated a woman\u2019s natural beauty. In the process, she revolutionized the makeup industry. At twenty-five, Bobbi moved to New York City to become a makeup artist and she hustled to break into the very gated fashion and beauty industry. Eight years, later, she got a Vogue cover. By age thirty-seven, she sold her namesake brand (and her name) to Estee Lauder for a life-changing sum. She spent the next twenty-two years building her brand into a one billion business until one day, she was called upstairs and unceremoniously told she was no longer in charge of the brand she built. At fifty-nine years old, she had to reinvent herself and begin all over again.<\/em><\/p>\n Bobbi\u2019s vision, creativity, and resilience are fully visible in these pages. Through ups and downs, her North Star has remained consistent\u2014embrace who you are, flaws, freckles, and wrinkles included. This is not just Bobbi\u2019s beauty philosophy\u2014it\u2019s how she lives her life. Real is better than fake. Simple is better than complicated. Family comes first. And when real life throws you obstacles, pivot and just figure it out.<\/em><\/p>\n After all this time, after all, she\u2019s Still Bobbi.<\/em> – S&S \/ Marysue Rucci Books<\/p>\n Writer, comedian, and content creator Elyse Myers gets real about life\u2019s awkward moments in her bold, funny, and unfiltered debut book<\/em><\/p>\n Elyse Myers is known to her twelve million followers as \u201cThe Internet\u2019s Best Friend,\u201d sharing her relatable stories and comedic sketches and serving as an advocate for topics such as neurodivergence, impostor syndrome, body image, and more. Whether she\u2019s making people laugh with tales of disastrous dates or giving a voice to that awkward internal monologue many of us have, she has three simple goals behind everything she makes: To make people feel known, loved, and like they belong.<\/em><\/p>\n In That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You, Elyse delivers a debut collection of deeply personal stories and hand-drawn illustrations, offering even more intimate reflections beyond what fans have seen on her social media, including:<\/em><\/p>\n Plus, tales involving bad dates and is-this-a-dates; the tempting yet futile urge to reinvent yourself, panic attacks and escape hatches, and favorite pens and systems to use them, all while loving and letting yourself be loved, preferably at the same time.<\/em> – William Morrow<\/p>\n The long-awaited memoir of the legendary Lionel Richie.<\/em><\/p>\n As a storyteller second to none, Lionel Richie is ready to tell it all. In this intimate, deeply candid memoir, Lionel revisits hilarious and harrowing events to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don\u2019t matter. Lionel chronicles lessons learned during his unlikely story of remarkable success\u2014his dramatic transformation from painfully shy, \u201ctragically\u201d late bloomer to world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played as the soundtrack of our lives.<\/em><\/p>\n Funny, warm, and riveting, Lionel recalls his childhood in Tuskegee, Alabama, where he grew up on its university campus during the heyday of the Civil Rights movement, raucous adventures as a member of The Commodores, coming-of-age in late 1960s Harlem, culture shock playing gigs on the French Riviera, the big break of being signed to Motown, his meteoric solo career that included an Olympics performance witnessed by two billion around the globe, all the way through to writing and recording \u201cWe Are the World\u201d and his current multi-generational fame as a judge on American Idol.

From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his iconic depiction as the sadistic clown Pennywise in It to his critically acclaimed role as the original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of Spamalot, Curry redefined what it meant to be a \u201ccharacter actor,\u201d portraying heroes and villains alike with complexity, nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness.<\/em><\/p>\n Now, in his memoir, Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes of his rise to fame from his early beginnings as a military brat to his formative years in boarding school and university, to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life.<\/em><\/p>\n With the upcoming 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue, there\u2019s never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.<\/em> – Grand Central Publishing<\/p>\n Academy Award\u2013winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theater career, difficult childhood, and path to sobriety in his honest, moving, and long-awaited memoir.<\/em><\/p>\n Born and raised in Port Talbot\u2014a small Welsh steelworks town\u2014amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents, and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted.<\/em><\/p>\n With candor and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher\u2019s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear.<\/em><\/p>\n Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life\u2014the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt\u2014much like the men in his family\u2014and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret.<\/em><\/p>\n Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.<\/em> – S&S \/ Summit Books<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
