Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Jann Arden—bestselling author, recording artist and late-blooming TV star—is back with this funny, heartfelt and fierce memoir on becoming a woman of a certain age. The power, gravity and freedom she's found at fifty-seven are superpowers she believes all of us can unleash. Digging deep into her strengths, her failures and her losses, Jann Arden brings us an inspiring account of how she has surprised herself, in her fifties, by at last becoming completely her own person. Like many women, it took Jann a long time to realize that trying to be pleasing and likeable and beautiful in the eyes of others was a loser's game. Letting it rip, and damning the consequences, is not only liberating, it's a hell of a lot of fun: "Being the age I am—that so many women are—is just the best time of my life." Jann weaves her own story together with tales of her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, and the father she came close to hating, to show her younger self—and all of us—that fear and avoidance is no way to live. "What I'm thinking about now aren't all the ways I can try to hang on to my youth or all the seconds ticking by in some kind of morbid countdown to death," she writes, "but rather how I keep becoming someone I always hoped I could be. If I'm lucky one day a very old face will look back at me from the mirror, a face I once shied away from. I will love that old woman ferociously, because she has finally figured out how to live a life of purpose—not in spite of but because of all her mistakes and failures."

Book Description
'I am the person I always should have been, ' says Amy, 'except for a brief but total, unfathomable lapse of judgment in my youth.' Dubbed the 'Long Island Lolita', Amy Fisher was 16 years old when she became involved with a 36-year-old married auto mechanic, Joey Buttafuoco. A year later she was jailed for shooting his wife. The Amy Fisher case became an international obsession; in the United States, she was the subject of three major TV movies, a musical, books and even trading cards. Now aged 30, in If I Knew Then Amy tells her own story for the first time. She reveals details of the shooting, her seven years of abuse in prison and her struggle to return to normal life after parole. These days Amy is an award-winning journalist and a devoted wife and mother. In this deeply personal account, she takes us beyond the scandal and, in taking responsibility for her actions, offers real insights into her difficult childhood and how it led to a destructive relationship with a much older man. She shares her thoughts on gun control and domestic violence, and lists the warning signs that often reveal a teenager at risk.If I Knew Then, a New York Times bestseller, is both a chilling and cautionary tale. It is also an inspirational story about beginning again and making a life matter

Book Description
As Charles Grodin says, "If you don't get wiser as you get older, then you just get older." The core of this book is about identifying our mistakes, learning from them, and not repeating them. Charles Grodin, a very funny individual who has appeared in movies, television and currently is on WCBS Radio every day, has asked his friends (and friends of friends)--from Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Shirley MacLaine, Alan Alda, Regis Philbin, Ben Stiller, and others--to share sometimes very revealing memories of the biggest mistake they've made. Rosie O'Donnell looks back to her college days and her inability to express her love for a close girlfriend. Regis Philbin learned to trust his instincts when an early talk show got cancelled. Irwin Redlener, the Co-founder of The Children's Health Fund, examines a near-mistake--how he almost cancelled a trip to see a grown son who soon after died in a skiing accident. Dr. Nicholas Perricone learns to shift his perspective after witnessing the bravery of a young girl during his internship. Senator Orrin Hatch discusses his mistaken vote against making Martin Luthor King Day a national holiday. And Carol Burnett's hilarious essay explains why meeting Cary Grant turned out to be a big mistake! If I Only Knew Then...offers intimate insights into dozens of celebrated figures' lives.
