Book Description
Sixteen weeks into her second pregnancy, psychologist Jessica Zucker miscarried at home, alone. Suddenly, her career, spent specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health, was rendered corporeal, no longer just theoretical. She now had a changed perspective on her life’s work, her patients’ pain, and the crucial need for a zeitgeist shift. Navigating this nascent transition amid her own grief became a catalyst for Jessica to bring voice to this ubiquitous experience. She embarked on a mission to upend the strident trifecta of silence, shame, and stigma that surrounds reproductive loss—and the result is her striking memoir meets manifesto. Drawing from her psychological expertise and her work as the creator of the #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, I Had a Miscarriage is a heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, and validating book about navigating these liminal spaces and the vitality of truth telling—an urgent reminder of the power of speaking openly and unapologetically about the complexities of our lives. Jessica Zucker weaves her own experience and other women's stories into a compassionate and compelling exploration of grief as a necessary, nuanced personal and communal process. She inspires her readers to speak their truth and, in turn, to ignite transformative change within themselves and in our culture.

Book Description
The only thing better than naptime is naptime with a friend. Theo the puppy (part-Boxer, part-Shepherd, part-Labrador, part-Sharpei) was rescued by Beau, a twenty-three-month-old toddler, and his family from an animal shelter in Santa Cruz. The two of them instantly became best friends. And every day at naptime, Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep, then curls up next to him. Theo and Beau were already a viral sensation thanks to the "unbearably adorable," "utterly charming" photos that author (Beau's mother) Jessica Shyba has been posting on her popular blogMomma's Gone City. And now, she's matched the very sweetest of them to a charming bedtime text to make a board book that is (as Alyssa Milano said of the blog) "so cute it hurts."

Book Description
Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times Set amid the havoc of the War on Drugs, this New York Times bestseller is an "astonishingly intimate" (New York magazine) chronicle of one family’s triumphs and trials in the South Bronx of the 1990s. “Unmatched in depth and power and grace. A profound, achingly beautiful work of narrative nonfiction…The standard-bearer of embedded reportage.” —Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted In her classic bestseller, journalist Adrian Nicole LeBlanc immerses readers in the world of one family with roots in the Bronx, New York. In 1989, LeBlanc approached Jessica, a young mother whose encounter with the carceral state is about to forever change the direction of her life. This meeting redirected LeBlanc’s reporting, taking her past the perennial stories of crime and violence into the community of women and children who bear the brunt of the insidious violence of poverty. Her book bears witness to the teetering highs and devastating lows in the daily lives of Jessica, her family, and her expanding circle of friends. Set at the height of the War on Drugs, Random Family is a love story—an ode to the families that form us and the families we create for ourselves. Charting the tumultuous struggle of hope against deprivation over three generations, LeBlanc slips behind the statistics and comes back with a riveting, haunting, and distinctly American true story.

Book Description
After reading Dr. Kassis’ hospital notes in November 2014, a nurse consultant urged Dr. Kassis to write about some of the most difficult cases that he had encountered over his career. Dr. Kassis subsequently wrote his first book Sherlock and I a Memoir of Medical Mysteries in a US Rural Practice. Having been asked to write a sequel, Dr. Kassis now first presents the reader with details of the training that every potential physician must endure before he or she may be labeled as a physician. It is in the second half of his book that Dr. Kassis once again describes patients with critical illnesses as well many who presented diagnostic conundrums. A lifelong fan of Sherlock Holmes, throughout the book he emphasizes the diagnostic process, especially the importance of obtaining an accurate history from the patient. Most importantly, Dr. Kassis presents the material in a manner which a non-medical person can easily understand. Anyone who reads this book will have a better understanding of how his or her physician formulates a diagnosis – a process which must always come before any treatment might be initiated.

Book Description
In the exclusive southern California community of Colina Linda, money means everything. But snagging a man who has money means even more. When billionaire David Clemente files for divorce, his newly single status is the gossip among the ladies-who-lunch. Hot on the chase are four of the town’s most eligible ex-wives: peppy Lally Chandler, a former Bond girl and the queen bee of local society, with three celebrity ex-husbands in her wake; Jessica DiSantini, a lapsed lawyer and mother of two with a nice settlement from her cheating spouse and his precious collection of Cabernet to numb the pain; Caitlin Latch, a desperate-to-fit-in single mom with a body that makes Barbie look like Ken; and locally born and bred Janey Martinez, a dowdy duckling with an extensive pack of socially prominent relations. Doing whatever it takes to catch the eligible David’s attention and eliminate the competition, each woman is determined to be the first–and the last–to date Mr. (Luxury) Dreamboat. Which of the four ex-wives will find true love? The answer is revealed in this hilariously funny, sarcastically witty, and deliciously catty novel about the never-ending pursuit of happiness. Translation: an even bigger bank account. From the Trade Paperback edition.
