POSTSCRIPT by CECELIA AHERN The long-awaited sequel to PS, I LOVE YOU

It's been seven years since Holly Kennedy's husband died – six since she read his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life.

She’s proud of all the ways in which she has grown and evolved. But when a group inspired by Gerry's letters, calling themselves the PS, I Love You Club, approaches Holly asking for help, she finds herself drawn back into a world that she worked so hard to leave behind.

Reluctantly, Holly beings a relationship with the club, even as their friendship threatens to destroy the peace she believes she has achieved. As each of these people calls upon Holly to help them leave something meaningful behind for their loved ones, Holly will embark on a remarkable journey – one that will challenge her to ask whether embracing the future means betraying the past, and what it means to love someone forever…

IF I HAD YOUR FACE by FRANCES CHA In this riveting debut novel set in contemporary Seoul, four young women make their way in a world defined by impossibly high standards of beauty, secret room salons catering to wealthy men, strict social hierarchies, and K-pop fan mania.

Kyuri is a heartbreakingly beautiful woman with a hard-won job at a "room salon," an exclusive bar where she entertains businessmen while they drink. Though she prides herself on her cold, clear-eyed approach to life, an impulsive mistake with a client may come to threaten her livelihood.

Her roomate, Miho, is a talented artist who grew up in an orphanage but won a scholarship to study art in New York. Returning to Korea after college, she finds herself in a precarious relationship with the super-wealthy heir to one of Korea's biggest companies.

Down the hall in their apartment building lives Ara, a hair stylist for whom two preoccupations sustain her: obsession with a boy-band pop star, and a best friend who is saving up for the extreme plastic surgery that is commonplace.

And Wonna, one floor below, is a newlywed trying to get pregnant with a child that she and her husband have no idea how they can afford to raise and educate in the cutthroat economy.

Together, their stories tell a gripping tale that's seemingly unfamiliar, yet unmistakably universal in the way that their tentative friendships may be their saving grace.

• Jennifer Hershey pre-empted North American rights in a six-figure, two-bookdeal

Advance praise for IF I HAD YOUR FACE:

“Make way for Frances Cha, an entrancing new voice who guides us into the complexities and contradictions of modern-day Seoul, a dissonant, neon world that is ripped open to bare the same universal and human challenges that face us all. I devoured it in a single sitting.”

—Janice Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Piano Teacher

“Few American novelists know Seoul the way Frances Cha does and in her intimate, panoramic debut, she brings that dazzling city to life. There are voices here you haven’t heard before. . . . An enthralling read from the very first page.”

—Ed Park, author of Personal Days

"Absolutely stunning…Assured, bold, and electrifying, If I Had Your Face marks the entrance of a bright new voice in fiction."

—Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

“Each voice in this quartet cuts through the pages so cleanly and clearly that the overall effect is one of dangerously glittering harmony. The tale told here is as engrossing as a war chant, or a mosaic formed with blades, every piece a memento sharpened on those unyielding barriers between us and our ideal lives.”

—Helen Oyeyemi, author of Gingerbread

“A provoking, ultimately inspiring tale of women pushing back against oppressive customs both traditional and new. Frances Cha, like her quartet of narrators, has a rebel’s heart.” —Jonathan Dee, author of The Locals

Frances Cha is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the Columbia MFA program, and a former travel & culture reporter for CNN in Seoul. She currently lives in New York City with her family.

THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE by SPENCER WOLFF

Spencer Wolff’s debut novel THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE tells the parallel stories of an African refugee and a hapless UN worker in Morocco, spinning a fine web of modern trauma and hope.

THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE recounts the journey of Arès Sbigzenou, a Congolese refugee left for dead in the wake of ethnic violence. Arès' fate, like the fate of millions, sends him on a kinetic flight across northern Africa with Europe as his goal. He reaches Rabat, Morocco, where he binds himself to a desperate community of exiles, and meets Simon, a young UN worker, whose journey is altogether different but no less fraught.

While Arès struggles to rebuild his life and come to terms with his past, Simon grapples with the moral compromises inherent in his profession and position. Part sweeping portrait of life in the Maghreb, part epic tale of hope and perseverance, THE FIRE IN HIS WAKE carries the reader from the administrative reckonings of the UN staff to the daily hazards faced by the refugees in the streets and on their risky crossings to Europe. When a storm gathers at the UNHCR, and the ghosts of the Congo’s violence unexpectedly surface in Rabat, the two men find themselves on a collision course, setting the stage for the novel’s unforgettable and genre-busting ending.

Spencer Wolff is a former UN worker in Rabat, Morocco, who has worked directly with refugee populations and has witnessed firsthand the pain and frustration of displaced persons. In Rabat, Spencer spent several months meeting with refugees, interviewing and evaluating their claims for asylum, and then recommending several for resettlement. It was this work that prompted him to write his first novel. A photographer and filmmaker, Spencer is the recipient of an Overseas Press Club Award for his work at The New York Times, and his feature-length documentary STOP premiered at DOC NYC and was awarded a Silver Gavel by the American Bar Association. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from Yale University. He speaks French, Spanish, Italian, and German fluently, and is proficient in Portuguese. Spencer splits his time between New York and Paris.

ALL WE EVER WANTED by EMILY GIFFIN In her newest novel, Emily Giffin tells a story of characters who face impossible choices, but emerge to live more truly to themselves than they ever have before.

Nina Browning is living the good life after marrying into Nashville’s elite. Her husband’s tech business is booming, and her adored son, Finch, is bound for Princeton.

Tom Volpe is a single dad working multiple jobs. His adored daughter, Lyla, attends Nashville’s most prestigious private school on a scholarship. But amid the wealth and privilege, Lyla doesn’t always fit in.

Then one devastating photo changes everything. Finch snaps a picture of Lyla passed out at a party, adds a provocative caption, and sends it to a few friends. The photo spreads like wildfire, and before long, an already divided community is buzzing with scandal and assigning blame. In the middle of it all, Nina finds herself relating more to Tom’s reaction than her own husband’s—and facing an impossible choice.

Now, after their parents’ sudden death, the MacAllister siblings return to camp to read the will and decide what to do with the prime real estate occupied by their family’s camp.

DAISY JONES & THE SIX by TAYLOR JENKINS REID A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer, revealing the mystery behind their infamous breakup.

Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.

Daisy came of age in LA in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs were thrilling, but it was the rock‘n’roll she loved the most. By the time she’d turned twenty, her voice was getting noticed, and she had the kind of heedless beauty that made people do crazy things. The Six, led by the brooding Billy Dunne, was also rising through the ranks of the LA music scene. On the eve of their first tour, Billy’s girlfriend becomes pregnant, prompting him to go a little wild on the road under the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame. Daisy and Billy crossed paths when a producer realized the key to supercharged success was to put the two together. What happened next became the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid takes her work to a new level with DAISY JONES AND THE SIX.

Praise for DAISY JONES AND THE SIX:

“Reid delivers a stunning story of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll in the 1960s and ’70s in this expertly wrought novel. Mimicking the style and substance of a tell-all celebrity memoir. . . Reid creates both story line and character gold. The book’s prose is propulsive, original, and often raw. . . . Reid’s gift for creating imperfect characters and taut plots courses throughout this addictive novel.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review ★

“Reid’s novel so resembles a memoir of a real band and conjures such true-to-life images of the seventies music scene that readers will think they’re listening to Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. Reid is unsurpassed in her ability to create complex characters working through emotions that will make your toes curl.” —Booklist, starred review ★

“An insightful story that will appeal to readers nostalgic for the 1970s.” —Kirkus Reviews

Taylor Jenkins Reid is the author of six novels, most recently DAISY JONES AND THE SIX. A full-time film and TV writer in addition to prolific novelist, she lives in Los Angeles.

A Story for Every Woman.

In this singular and imaginative story collection, Cecelia Ahern illuminates the myriad ways in which women overcome adversity with wit, resourcefulness and compassion. Exploring dilemmas and aspirations that women everywhere will relate to, these unforgettable tales blend magical realism and familiar scenarios with startling and often hilarious results. In matters ranging from marriage and childrearing to politics and careers, the heroines of these thought-provoking stories confront problems both mysterious and mundane: one woman is tortured by sinister bite marks that appear on her skin; another is swallowed up by the floor during a mortifying presentation; yet another resolves to return and exchange her boring husband at the store where she originally acquired him. As they wrestle with obstacles of all kinds, their reality is shaped by how others perceive them—and ultimately, how they perceive the power within themselves.

By turns sly, whimsical and affecting, these thirty short stories are an inspiring examination of what it means to be a woman today.

Television adaption in development by Nicole Kidman and Per Saari’s Blossom Films

HARRY’S TREES by JON COHEN

The first thing you learn when you climb a tree is to hold on. Now it’s time for Harry to learn to let go…

Thirty-four-year-old Harry Crane, lifelong lover of trees, works as an analyst in a treeless US Forest Service office. Devastated after losing his wife in a freak accident, he makes his way to the remote woods of northeastern Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains, intent on losing himself. But fate intervenes in the form of a fiercely determined young girl named Oriana. She, too, has lost someone—her father. And in the magical, willful world of her reckoning, Oriana believes that Harry is the key to finding her way back to him.

When Harry agrees to help the young girl, the unlikeliest of elements—a tree house, a Wolf, a small-town librarian and a book called The Grum’s Ledger— come together to create the biggest sensation ever to descend upon the Endless Mountains; a golden adventure that will fulfill Oriana’s wildest dreams and open the door to a new life for Harry.

In the Cyrilian Empire, Affinites are reviled. Their varied gifts to control the world around them are unnatural—dangerous. And Anastacya Mikhailov, the crown princess, has a terrifying secret. Her deadly Affinity to blood is her curse and the reason she has lived her life hidden behind palace walls.

When Ana’s father, the emperor, is murdered, her world is shattered. Framed as his killer, Ana must flee the palace to save her life. And to clear her name, she must find her father’s murderer on her own. But the Cyrilia beyond the palace walls is far different from the one she thought she knew. Corruption rules the land, and a greater conspiracy is at work—one that threatens the very balance of her world. And there is only one person corrupt enough to help Ana get to its core: Ramson Quicktongue.

A cunning crime lord of the Cyrilian underworld, Ramson has sinister plans—though he might have met his match in Ana. Because in this story, the princess might be the most dangerous player of all.

THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA by JULIA DRAKE From a stunning new voice in YA literature comes an epic, utterly unforgettable contemporary novel about a lost shipwreck, a missing piece of family history, and weathering the storms of life.

The Larkin family isn't just lucky-they persevere. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer. But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life.

Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece-the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century. She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes-and the bridges she builds along the way-may be the start of something like survival.

Epic, funny, and sweepingly romantic, THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA is an astonishing debut about the strength it takes to swim up from a wreck.

DIAMOND CITY (duology) by FRANCESCA FLORES Diamond City is an action-packed young adult fantasy by debut author Francesca Flores about a girl who perseveres through poverty, violence, and loss to achieve a future for herself.

Good things don't happen to girls who come from nothing...unless they risk everything.

Meet Aina Solís. Pulled off the streets when she was twelve years old, Aina was trained to become one of the most powerful and dangerous assassins in Sumerand, a kingdom founded by immigrants, built by magic, and still reeling from an industrial revolution that’s led to all-out civil war. Fearless and willing to risk everything―and with nothing left to lose―Aina is ready to leave her wretched past behind and accept a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to kill a wealthy industrialist named Kouta. But this career-defining move won't come easy. She will have to act against her boss Kohl, who doesn't tolerate his assassins working against him. What will be the price for her betrayal? Meanwhile, the closer Aina gets to her target, the more she craves an answer to the questions an assassin is never meant to ask: Who wants Kouta dead? And why was Aina chosen for this mission?

Now, in a city full of dark forces and hidden agendas, old rivalries and a whole new world of enemies, it's up to Aina to unravel a conspiracy that could rewrite Sumerand's history and her own future. Is it too late to save her city―and herself? Is courage born or is it bred? And what must Aina sacrifice for a second chance to begin a better, brighter life?

SPLINTERS OF SCARLET by EMILY BAIN MURPHY Enchantée meets Downton Abbey in this atmospheric YA historical fantasy set in nineteenth-century Denmark, where secrets can kill and magic is a deadly gift.

For Marit Olsen, magic is all about strategy: it flows freely through her blood, but every use leaves behind a deadly, ice-like build-up within her veins called the Firn. Marit knows how dangerous it is to let too much Firn build up—after all, it killed her sister—and she has vowed never to use her thread magic. But when Eve, a fellow orphan whom Marit views like a little sister, is adopted by the wealthy Helene Vestergaard, Marit will do anything to stay by Eve’s side. She decides to risk the Firn and uses magic to secure a job as a seamstress in the Vestergaard household.

But Marit has a second, hidden agenda: her father died while working in the Vestergaards’ jewel mines—and it might not have been an accident. The closer Marit gets to the truth about the Vestergaard family, the more she realizes she and everyone she’s come to love are in danger. When she finds herself in the middle of a treacherous deception that goes all the way up to the king of Denmark, magic may be the only thing that can save her—if it doesn’t kill her first.

THE LONELY HEART OF MAYBELLE LANE by KATE O’SHAUGHNESSY

Maybelle Lane is looking for her father, but on the road to Nashville she finds so much more: courage, brains, heart—and true friends.

Eleven-year-old Maybelle Lane collects sounds. She records the Louisiana crickets chirping, Momma strumming her guitar, their broken trailer door squeaking. But the crown jewel of her collection is a sound she didn't collect herself: an old recording of her daddy's warm-sunshine laugh, saved on an old phone's voicemail. It's the only thing she has of his, and the only thing she knows about him.

Until the day she hears that laugh--his laugh--pouring out of the car radio. Going against Momma's wishes, Maybelle starts listening to her radio DJ daddy's new show, drinking in every word like a plant leaning toward the sun. When he announces he'll be the judge of a singing contest in Nashville, she signs up. What better way to meet than to stand before him and sing with all her heart?

But the road to Nashville is bumpy. Her starch-stiff neighbor Mrs. Boggs offers to drive her in her RV. And a bully of a boy from the trailer park hitches a ride, too. These are not the people May would have chosen to help her, but it turns out they're searching for things as well. And the journey will mold them into the best kind of family--the kind you choose for yourself.

Princess Aurelia is a prisoner to her crown and the heir that nobody wants. Surrounded by spirits and banned from using her blood-magic, Aurelia flees her country after a devastating assassination attempt. To escape her fate, Aurelia disguises herself as a commoner in a new land and discovers a happiness her crown has never allowed. As she forges new bonds and perfects her magic, she begins to fall for a man who is forbidden to rule beside her.

“[R]omance, danger, and magic make for a winning combination that will keep readers glued to the pages long after bedtime.” —School Library Journal

The exploration of the land’s religion and people’s conflicting understandings of it seems to be a reflection of the real world, lending the story a deeper commentary without sidelining the main plot. An excellent choice for fans of smart, independent female leads, intriguing fantasy worlds, and a race against the clock to defeat evil." —Booklist

"The plot is breathlessly fast, complete with creepy spirits, a satisfying romance, and complex but clear political twists and turns....Political, romantic, magical, timely, yet also traditionally appealing." —Kirkus

"Debut author Smith explores the power of sacrifice in this darkly romantic reimagining of the Brothers Grimm’s 'The Goose Girl.'" —Publishers Weekly

“Enchanting, visceral, and twisty, BLOODLEAF is a phantasmagorical wonder that will keep you guessing until the very last page.”

—Laura Sebastian, New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess

“Eerie, immersive, and fascinating, BLOODLEAF feels like a classic in the making. Readers will be pulled deep into Aurelia’s world, and lose sleep alongside her as the deadly mysteries close in.”

WE DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS by ADI ALSAID

Central International School’s annual lock-in is legendary. Bonds are made. Contests are fought. Stories are forged that will be passed down from student to student for years to come.

This year’s lock-in begins normally enough. Then a group of students led by Marisa Cuevas stage an ecoprotest and chain themselves to the doors, vowing to keep everyone trapped inside until their list of demands is met.

Some students rally to their cause…but others are aggrieved to watch their own plans fall apart.

Amira has trained all year to compete in the school decathlon on her own terms. Peejay intended to honor his brother by throwing the greatest party CIS has ever seen. Kenji was looking forward to making a splash at his improv showcase. Omar wanted to spend a little time with the boy he’s been crushing on. Celeste, adrift in a new country, was hoping to connect with someone—anyone. And Marisa, once so certain of her goals, must now decide how far she’ll go to attain them.

Every year, lock-in night changes lives. This year, it might just change the world.

Praise for prior book, NORTH OF HAPPY:

“An exceptional tale of grief, ambition, love, and maturity” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★

Praise for prior book, NEVER ALWAYS SOMETIMES: "There is a kernel of truth in every cliché, and Alsaid cracks the teen-lit trope of friends becoming lovers wide open, exposing a beautiful truth inside. He also perfectly captures the golden glow of senioritis, a period when teens are bored and excited and wistful and nostalgic all at once. Everything is possible in this handful of weeks, including making up for squandered time."

—Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★

Adi Alsaid was born and raised in Mexico City. He attended college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He's now back in Mexico City, where he writes, coaches basketball, and makes every dish he eats as spicy as possible. In addition to Mexico, he's lived in Tel Aviv, Las Vegas and Monterey, California. His books include LET'S GET LOST, NEVER ALWAYS SOMETIMES, NORTH OF HAPPY, and BRIEF CHRONICLE OF ANOTHER STUPID HEARTBREAK.

INDIVISIBLE by DANIEL ALEMAN

There is a word Mateo Garcia and his younger sister Sophia have been taught to fear for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the concern that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico has started to fade to the back of their minds. And why wouldn't it, when their Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors?

But when two ICE agents come looking for Pa, the Garcia family realizes that the lives they've built could well come crumbling down. Then, Mateo returns from school one day to find that their worst nightmare realized: his parents have been detained.

With his Ma and Pa being held in separate detention centers, Mateo must step-up and learn how to look after his sister and himself. The choices Mateo makes, and the people he turns to for help, might reunite his family…or tear them apart for good. With his parents’ fate and his own future hanging in the balance, Mateo must figure out who he is and what he is capable of, even as he’s forced to question what it means to be an American teenager in a country that rejects his own mom and dad.

Daniel Aleman’s INDIVISBLE is a remarkable and timely story—both powerful in its explorations of immigration in American and deeply intimate in its portrait of a teen boy driven by his fierce, protective love for his parents and his sister.

THE SPICE ROAD by Maiya Ibrahim

In the hidden desert city of Qalia, sixteen-year-old Imani dreams of joining the Council of Al-Zahim—the leaders who harness and protect her tribal nation’s secret tea magic. In neighboring Taeel-Sa, an orphan named Kazi has become an assassin to realize humbler dreams: regular food and a place to sleep. So when he’s offered unimaginable wealth to help a foreigner usurp Taeel-Sa’s throne, he jumps at it. What he doesn’t realize is he’s about to change the continent of Alqibah forever—and turn Imani’s dreams into a nightmare.

Upon seizing the throne, the new King invades Qalia, ruthlessly pursuing the source of the magic: a limitless power sealed in a magical vault beneath the city. The Council entrusts Imani with smuggling the vault’s key far away from the besieged city, thwarting Kazi’s attempts to secure it on behalf of the King. Furious, the King gives Kazi one chance to redeem himself: he must kill Imani and return the key.

But there are others who plot to steal it. If Imani and Kazi are to triumph, they’ll both need help—and maybe magic of their own. Little do they know, the ancient magic that divides them is what ultimately links them.

Pitched during #DVPit as an Arabian BLACK PANTHER meets GAME OF THRONES, THE SPICE ROAD is a sweeping epic fantasy that will appeal to fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sarah J. Maas.

BRIEF CHRONICLE OF ANOTHER STUPID HEARTBREAK by ADI ALSAID

Dumped by her boyfriend the summer after senior year, teen love and relationship columnist Lu Charles has hit a wall with her writing. The words just won’t come to her like they used to and if she doesn’t find a topic for her column, she’ll lose her gig at hip online magazine Misnomer, and the college scholarship that goes along with it.

Her best friend, Pete, thinks she should write through her own pain, but when Lu overhears another couple planning a precollege breakup just like hers, she becomes convinced that they’re the answer to cracking her writer’s block. And when she meets them—super-practical Iris and cute, sweet Cal—and discovers they’re postponing their breakup until the end of the summer, she has to know more.

Have Cal and Iris prolonged their own misery by staying together, knowing the end is in sight? Or does the secret to figuring out all this love business—and getting over it—lie with them? One thing is certain—if Lu can’t make a breakthrough before summer is over, she can kiss her future goodbye.

From the acclaimed author of Let’s Get Lost and North of Happy comes a touching exploration of love, relationships and the pain of breaking up.

THE DISAPPEARANCES by EMILY BAIN MURPHY

Aila Quinn’s mother, Juliet, has always been a mystery: vibrant yet guarded, she keeps her secrets beyond Aila’s reach. When Juliet dies, Aila and her younger brother Miles are sent to live in their mother’s hometown, Sterling, a rural enclave with mysteries of its own. In Sterling, the experiences that weave life together—scents of flowers and food, reflections from mirrors and lakes, even the ability to dream—vanish every seven years, never to come back.

No one knows what causes these “Disappearances,” or what will slip away next. But the townspeople always suspected that Juliet Quinn was somehow responsible and Aila must bear the brunt of their blame while she follows the chain of literary clues her mother left behind.

As the next Disappearance nears, Aila, with the help of a book of Shakespeare’s plays, begins to unravel the dual mysteries of why the Disappearances happen and who her mother truly was. But one thing is clear: Sterling isn’t going to hold on to its secrets for much longer.

THE IMPOSSIBLE FIRST: From Fire to Ice—Crossing Antarctica Alone by COLIN O’BRADY Colin O’Brady’s awe-inspiring memoir recounts his triumphant recovery from a tragic accident and his gripping 932-mile crossing of the landmass of Antarctica solo, unsupported, and human powered—the first to accomplish this extraordinary feat.

Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone and without any outside assistance. Yet Colin O’Brady was determined to do just that, even if, upon taking the first steps of what was to be a nearly two-month journey, he had his doubts. He was compelled by a curiosity for the unknown, his own competitive instincts, and the encouragement of his wife. His challenge was made even more intense by a head-to-head battle that emerged with British polar adventurer Captain Louis Rudd—also striving to be “the first.” On skis, pulling a sled that at first weighed 375 pounds, in complete isolation and through a succession of whiteouts, storms, and a series of near disasters—O’Brady persevered. Somewhere in the vast white landscape was Rudd.

THE IMPOSSIBLE FIRST is the story of O’Brady’s spectacular, record-breaking journey across the continent and it is the story of the journey that led him to this endeavor. After a burn accident in his early twenties, he was told he might never walk again. From the depths of that crisis, he fought his way back and went on to set three mountaineering world records. With Everest and the tallest peaks on each continent already conquered, he felt driven to further explore his potential, which now brought him to this historic Antarctic challenge. His triumph over adversity and his stunning dedication have inspired millions.

Set against the backdrop of one of the most extreme environments on earth, THE IMPOSSIBLE FIRST reveals how anyone can reject limits, overcome immense obstacles, and discover what matters most.

SPACE BETWEEN: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity

by NICO TORTORELLA Younger star and LGTBQIA+ advocate Nico Tortorella investigates love, sex, gender, addiction, family, fame, and fluidity through their personal story and the lens of their nonbinary identity

Nico Tortorella is a seeker. Raised on a steady regimen of Ram Dass and raw food, they have always been interested in the more spiritual aspects of life. That is, until the desire for fame and fortune eclipsed their journey toward enlightenment and sent them into a downward spiral of addiction and self-destructive behavior. It wasn’t until Nico dug deep and began to examine the fluidity of both their sexuality and gender identity that they became more comfortable in their own skin, got sober from alcohol, entered into an unconventional marriage with the love of their life, and fully embraced a queer lifestyle that afforded them the opportunity to explore the world outside the gender binary. It was precisely in that space between that Nico encountered the diverse community of open-minded, supportive peers they’d always dreamed of having.

Expanding on themes explored on their popular podcast, The Love Bomb, Nico shares the intimate details of their romantic partnerships, the dysfunction of their loud but loving Italian family, and the mingling of their feminine and masculine identities into one multidimensional, sexually fluid, nonbinary individual. Nico has become a leading voice of the fluidity movement by encouraging open dialogue and universal acceptance. SPACE BETWEEN is at once an education for readers, a manifesto for both the labeled and label-free generations, and a personal memoir of love, identity, and acceptance.

• Nico will star in the next season of The Walking Dead• Over half a million Instagram followers• Nico is the star of hit series Younger, which is available in 173 countries• Nico was a main guest at the 2018 Manila book fair• Los Angeles has named May 31st “Nico Tortorella day”• Nico’s podcast The Love Bomb has been downloaded over 3 million times.

Praise for SPACE BETWEEN:

“SPACE BETWEEN is honest, insightful, and poetic. This book encourages a new dialogue around humanity, sexuality, and gender identity that has been missing from the conversation. Each page inspires the reader to reflect and challenge their own biases, while gently championing self-growth and the respect of others.” —Karamo Brown, culture expert on Netflix show Queer Eye

“Not only does SPACE BETWEEN answer many questions about what it means to live outside the gender binary, Nico Tortorella’s memoir is the ultimate inspiration for people to fully accept themselves, no matter how challenging it can be. By sharing their voyage toward realizing their own sexuality and identity, Nico empowers LGBTQ youth and grows acceptance for the LGBTQ community.”

—Anthony Ramos, Director of Talent Engagement, GLAAD

“Nico Tortorella’s SPACE BETWEEN captures the zeitgeist with their groundbreaking exploration of identity, authenticity, and vulnerability. It is a beautifully written account of what it means to live a life with courage.”

—Darren Star, producer, Younger

THE END OF FOOD ALLERGY: The New Science of Reintroduction and Reversal for Your Child

by Dr. Kari Nadeau and Sloan Barnett

The science of early introduction shows that safely introducing foods like peanuts, milk, and eggs at an early age may help protect your children. And for kids who have been diagnosed with allergy, there is new hope for reversal. Dr. Nadeau’s approach combines food reintroduction with cutting-edge immunotherapy, and her lab has taken children from terrifying allergies to complete reversal.

For instance, consider Axel, whose enrollment in a study of “peanut dust” at Dr. Nadeau’s lab took him from a severe peanut allergy to safety today. He has eaten the equivalent of 33 peanuts safely—and eats 2 peanut M&Ms every night to maintain his tolerance. Or Tessa, who ended up in an ambulance when a trusted restaurant switched from rice noodles to wheat—but today eats dairy, wheat, eggs and other former poisons without issue, thanks to Dr. Nadeau’s oral immunotherapy protocol.

Thanks to her truly trailblazing work, everything you think you know about food allergy is about to change. You can work with your family and your doctor to take your child from having food allergy to not having food allergy. Dr. Nadeau’s debut book will teach you everything you need to know.

• Sold at auction in a seven-figure deal to Avery

Dr. Nadeau is the top expert on food allergy in the country, appearing often in the popular press and in leading scientific journals and conferences. Beyond TODAY, she has been featured in the NYT Magazine, NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, CNN, Los Angeles Times, PBS News Hour, MSNBC, and many more national outlets. She has published 150+ peer reviewed papers, including in Science and The Lancet. At Stanford, she has treated thousands of children for food allergy. Some of the parents whose lives she has changed include Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley luminaries: former Facebook president Sean Parker (who funds her lab), Jeff and Mackenzie Bezos, Sheryl Sandberg, actor Steve Carrell, and many more.

Dr. Nadeau is partnering for this book with Sloan Barnett, a journalist, whose own children have benefitted from Dr. Nadeau’s work, and who has devoted her to life to helping Dr. Nadeau get the word out. Sloan is the New York Times bestselling author of Green Goes with Everything: Simple Steps to a Healthier Life and A Cleaner Planet (2008).

LIFESPAN: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.”

This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger.

Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.

• Dr. Sinclair was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential peopleon Earth

Praise for LIFESPAN:

“LIFESPAN is entertaining and fast-paced — a whirlwind tour of the recent past and a near future that will see 90 become the new 70.” -Nature

“In this insightful and provocative book that asks questions about how we age, and whether humans can overcome decay and degeneration, Sinclair grapples with some of the most fundamental questions around the science of aging. The result is an elegant and exciting book that deserves to be read broadly and deeply.” —Siddhartha Mukherjee. Author of Pulitzer Prize winning The Emperor of All Maladies

Dr. David Sinclair is professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and Founding Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biological Mechanisms of Aging at Harvard. Named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people on earth, Dr. Sinclair obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics at the University of New South Wales and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT with Dr. Leonard Guarente, where he co-discovered a cause of aging for yeast and rose to prominence for his pioneering work on resveratrol and sirtuins, genes that enhance performance and health. Dr. Sinclair has published 153 papers in journals including Science, Cell, and many others; his work has been featured widely in the popular media, including 60 Minutes, NBC, NOVA, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and Fortune; and he has founded and co-directed nine biotechnology companies since 2005, which have attracted more than $2 billion in investment.

CHANGE: The Surprising Science of How New Ideas and Behaviors Take Off and Take Hold

by DAMON CENTOLA A scientific exploration of how beliefs, behaviors, and ideas spread through social networks for a popular audience.

A big think book that will delight fans of Malcolm Gladwell, Chip and Dan Heath, and Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein’s NUDGE.

Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, in which “influencers” are king, “sticky” ideas “go viral,” and good behavior is “nudged” forward. The only problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. It is a world of simple contagions, which spread quickly to everyone, but do not have any lasting impact on what we think or how we live.

Since Damon first developed his theory of complex contagions in 2007, it has been applied to everything from the unexpected growth of Arab Spring, to changes in coaching strategy in the NFL, to the rapid rise of the #MeToo movement, to the worldwide spread of Skype and Facebook. This book is the crystallization of fifteen years of groundbreaking research on social networks and behavior change, published in the world’s leading scientific journals, awarded top prizes for theoretical discovery and methodological innovation, and patented by Harvard University.

Damon’s book will start by busting myths and common mistakes re: the ways new ideas spread, but it will focus on solutions. It is about the spread of innovations, the dispersion of ideas, the adoption of inventions, the growth of social movements, the success of political campaigns, and the uptake of new health behaviors. With clear language, using high-profile examples drawn from business, sports, health, lifestyle, and politics, Damon is excited to change how popular readers see how new behaviors, beliefs, and ideas spread in the world they live in.

• Sold in a seven-figure pre-empt to Tracy Behar

Damon Centola is an acclaimed thought leader, who is credited with developing the theory of complex contagions that has forever altered our scientific understanding of how change happens. An Associate Professor in the Annenberg School for Communication and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, he is Director of the Network Dynamics Group. His work has been published across disciplines in the world’s leading journals and popular news outlets, like The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic. His speaking and consulting clients include Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Cigna, the U.S. Army and the NBA; his research has been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the James S.

THE GREAT INDOORS: An Inside Journey into How Buildings Shape Our Lives

by EMILY ANTHES

The benefits of nature are well documented. Regular forays into the natural world have been shown to have pronounced, positive effects on our physical and mental health. But how often do any of us get to take a week-long camping trip?

The truth is, we spend most of our lives shuttling between homes and offices, schools and hospitals. While this may be an inescapable part of modern life, it also raises the question: What effect do the environments we've built for ourselves have on our mental and physical well-being? In this wide-ranging, character-driven book, Emily Anthes takes us on a trip that starts with the microscopic (the surprising array of microbes that share our homes) and ends with the big picture (the Martian architecture that could help humanity survive for many centuries to come). Along the way, she visits a wide range of scientists, architects, and other professionals working on the cutting edge of design―people who are not only aware of how our surroundings shape us, but are working to create buildings that can radically improve our lives.

Ranging from operating rooms that decrease human error to schools constructed to enhance learning, and from apartment buildings designed for neurodiverse residents to offices engineered for maximum comfort and efficiency, THE GREAT INDOORS is an argument for thoughtful interventions in the built environment and a celebration of the adaptive genius of human beings.

As the human population explodes, wild animals continue to eke out an existence at the Humanity’s relationships to the natural environment and the animals who share our space are undergoing dramatic changes. In light of our significant impact on nearly every inch of habitable space, we have become unwitting stewards of even the wildest of animals.

We have a wide variety of interactions with animals—both domestic and wild. Whether it’s a nocturnal raccoon scavenging for scraps, a trout caught while fly-fishing, an elk brought down by a bow, or the endangered species we handpick to survive, we impact wild animal not only in these direct ways, but also with the roads we build, emissions of our cars and the warming of our planet. Even the We can no longer reasonably claim that our actions have not reached every corner of the wild kingdom. And with those actions, we must also take responsibility.

Being the stewards of the world’s fauna brings a litany of complex and interconnected questions, and Emma Marris will help readers answer them by illuminating the human/animal conflicts all around us. She will explore the different sides of the issues through in-depth reporting into specific examples from around the globe before finally leaving the reader with the framework of how to answer his or her own questions about what it means to share our planet. Is hunting acceptable? Should an “invasive” species be killed? When is genetically modifying an entire species acceptable? What about providing veterinary care? Recent scientific research is proving that animals are smarter than we ever imagined, with some species even possessing the potential for complex emotions and social lives. Emma Marris will help define and answer the complex questions that come with a radical shift in our long-held beliefs.

Marris is an award-winning journalist based in Oregon. She writes for The Atlantic, The New York Times, National Geographic and Outside Magazine, among many others. Her work has appeared in the “Best America Science Writing 2016” and won an award from the National Association of Science Writers for an essay about wilderness in Orion. She is best known for her previous book, RAMBUNCTIOUS GARDEN (Bloomsbury, 2011) and subsequent TED Talk urging the importance of letting children experience the outdoors. She makes regular appearances on the Ted Radio Hour and will appear on Adam Ruins Everything on Netflix. She was honored to be offered a National Geographic fellowship earlier this year, but turned it down to work on WILD SOULS.

DANGEROUS KIDS offers a new way to think about the potential for aggressive behavior in children and teens and how they can be helped, from a leading Stanford psychologist

For over 40 years, Dr. Steiner has been the California court system’s go-to psychiatric expert in cases where juveniles commit murder and other violent crimes: school shootings, gang violence, patricide. After a crime has been committed and a young person is about to be sentenced, the courts look to Dr. Steiner to figure out the string of events, motives, and causes that explain why the offenders did what they did—and ultimately prescribe the interventions, if any, that will help restore them to mental health and a place in society. In DANGEROUS KIDS, Dr. Steiner draws on his unique expertise to offer a new way of thinking about these kids—before they commit a crime that lands them in the courtroom.

An exploration of aggressive and violent behavior in children and teens, this book is for anyone who wonders: what does it mean when children commit acts of aggression? How can we identify kids who might become violent, and how can we stop them before it’s too late? And what does this mean for parents, educators, and society at large? Dangerous Kids will draw on Dr. Steiner’s research to explain the warning signs we might see in young children and how we may intervene along the way, how to understand if a child is in danger, and what to do about older children and teenagers who have committed violence. The book will also include stories drawn from Dr. Steiner’s career, illustrating kids at every stage of this progression.

Dr. Hans Steiner is professor emeritus of child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry at the Stanford University Medical Center. He is director of Stanford’s Program in Psychiatry and the Law. He is also director of Stanford’s Pegasus Physician Writers group. He is the author of 500+ peer-reviewed papers and a leading expert in two fields: psychopathologies associated with trauma and victimization; and the relationship of aggression to psychopathology.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESS: How Anyone Can Turn an Unsolved Problem into a Successful Business

by DANNY WARSHAY

From entrepreneur and the creator of Ivy League Brown University’s highest-rated course, a book on how to create enduring businesses.

We live in a world full of problems, and business offers a compelling path to solve them. For this reason, business isn’t just for “businesspeople” anymore. Increasingly, it’s the historians, philosophers, rocket scientists, and everyone else who are launching the most interesting businesses to solve problems big and small. That’s why at Brown, everyone from English majors and future Fulbright scholars, to chemical engineering majors and art students at RISD, rank Danny’s course as the most life-changing course on campus. They learned that you don’t need to be a consultant or have an MBA to turn a solution to a problem into a lucrative new venture. In THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESS, he will first change how readers think about business—seeing an unmet need, finding a solution, and scaling it into an enduring business--before showing them how to put it into practice. Thousands of students have launched hundreds of successful companies after taking this course—a testament to the effectiveness of his method.

In the tradition of Ivy League courses turned bestselling books, THE ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESS will reach audiences familiar with the bestsellers DESIGNING YOUR LIFE by Stanford's Bill Burnett and Dave Evans and THE LEAN STARTUP by Eric Reis.

Danny Warshay holds an MBA from Harvard and a BA from Brown. In addition to teaching, he is executive director of Brown’s Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship, which hosts leading business leaders like Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and AWAY luggage founder Stephanie Korey (both on the board). His contacts include bestselling business authors such as Clayton Christianson, Noam Wasserman, and Theresa Amabile.

by JOHN LEE DUMAS Prolific business interviewer uses lessons from his iconic daily podcast, Entrepreneurs On Fire, to prepare readers for the milestones and obstacles that come on their journeys to becoming millionaires.

And once they have achieved financial freedom, they have to cross another threshold of building a company that works without them, so they can truly be free.

THE MILLIONAIRE’S JOURNEY is an entrepreneurial roadmap

For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. When he started sharing his system with friends who faced similar challenges, it went viral. Just a few years later, to his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is a global movement.

THE BULLET JOURNAL METHOD is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It’s about what Carroll calls “intentional living”: weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what’s truly meaningful, in both your work and your personal life. It’s about spending more time with what you care about, by working on fewer things. His new book shows you how to track the past, order the present, and design the future.

Although Ken Honda is often called a “money guru,” his real job over the past decade has been to help others discover the tools they already possess to heal their own lives and relationships with money. Now, in practical and accessible language, the “Zen millionaire” explains how to achieve peace of mind when it comes to money.

GOOD MORNING, I LOVE YOU Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Practices to Rewire Your Brain for Calm, Clarity, and Joy

by Dr. Shauna Shapiro Learn how self-compassion can change everything about how you feel, how you relate, and how you live—for good.

“Revolutionary findings in neuroscience have demonstrated that we can change our happiness setpoint. But it’s not through changing our external world. It’s through changing our internal landscape,” writes Shauna Shapiro. In GOOD MORNING, I LOVE YOU, Dr. Shapiro—one of the leading scientists studying the effects of mindfulness on well-being—shows us that acting with compassion toward ourselves is the key.

In short, lively chapters, Dr. Shapiro explains the basic brain science and offers numerous mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Stories from her life and research demonstrate how this powerhouse combination alleviates anxiety, boosts creative thinking, and enlarges our sense of belonging and purpose.

We can see it on brain scans. Negative and critical thoughts (and the vast majority of our thoughts are negative) cause the part of the brain responsible for learning to literally shut down. Kind and self-compassionate thoughts, by contrast, turn on the parts responsible for growth and change. With practice, we can literally rewire our brains for greater feelings of calm, joy, and possibility.

Try it and see . . . even if it makes you squirm. When you wake up tomorrow, look in the mirror, take a deep breath, hand on heart, and say, “Good morning, I love you.” Then try it the next day. And the next. See what happens.

Praise for GOOD MORNING, I LOVE YOU:

“Shauna Shapiro is known internationally for her outstanding contribution to research and clinical work on the very frontier of the mindfulness field. She is one of those rare scientist-practitioners who contribute not only new methods but new and deeper understandings of mind—its challenges and its potential.”

—Mark Williams, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford, author of Mindfulness

Dr. Shapiro is a professor at Santa Clara University and studies the intersection of neuroscience and mindfulness. She works with veterans suffering from PTSD, patients going through breast cancer treatment, and high-power executives obsessed with performance. She has published 100+ peer-reviewed papers and was the co-recipient of a $1.6 mil NIH grant in 2016. Besides having been published widely and featured in popular press, she has personal connections to Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Ariana Huffington, Dr. Tara Brach, and many other luminaries.

If you want to be in that half, the tools exist today to guide you to choices that will add a decade of great health, free of chronic illness and hospital stays, to the average person’s life. 21ST CENTURY MEDICINE will show what this means for each of us, and how it should shape the choices we make today so that we can prevent disease in our own lives.

Yes, genes matter. But our genes only affect 30% of our health destiny. Our lifestyle and environment have a much bigger impact: 60%. And health care accounts for 10%. In the last century, medicine focused mainly on the 10% affected by health care. The future of medicine, however, will finally unlock the potential of the other 90% to guide us to individual choices that give us longer, healthier lives.

A seminal work in the vein of Dr. David Agus’s The End of Illness or Dr. Michael Greger’s How Not to Die, this book will change how we think about good health forever.

New York Times bestselling author Mike Dow offers a groundbreaking approach to activate the subconscious brain, to set yourself free from your past and create a terrific future.

Have you ever been surprised by the power of your subconscious brain? Perhaps it took control of the wheel as your conscious mind was busy tackling a problem during a 30-minute drive home. You barely remember making your way from the office, but then your car ended up safely in your driveway. Perhaps a name escaped you at some point during your day. Despite trying your hardest to remember it, the conscious parts of your brain couldn’t retrieve what you were seeking. Then, your subconscious worked its magic and presented you with the answer hours later. It had been hard at work for you this whole time, and you didn’t even realize it!

In YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS BRAIN CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, Dr. Mike Dow shares a program he created: subconscious-based cognitive therapy (SBCT) and the cutting-edge tools to help you learn how to speak directly to your subconscious brain and tap into your greatest strengths, gifts, and resources. His program starts with cognitive therapy, then incorporates various types of subconscious tools: mindfulness, relaxation training, hypnosis, meditation, cognitive rehearsal, and guided imagery.

Dr. Mike Dow is a widely respected integrated psychotherapist, perhaps best known for his role as one of Dr. Oz’s Miracle Workers. In his recurring segments on The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Mike reveals secrets about foods, herbs, supplements, and other aids to boost our brain chemistry in near-miraculous ways. Dr. Mike is also a contributor for The Huffington Post, where he writes about physical and mental health in a lively, accessible way.
