Summary

“There’s so much joy and glory in these portraits” of contemporary female musical artists (from the foreword by Amanda Petrusich, New Yorker staff writer and author of Do Not Sell At Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World’s Rarest 78rpm Records).  She Can Really Lay It Down celebrates fifty incredible women who shredded, sang, and stormed the stage with ferocity and passion. Each incredible musician in this book defied genre and social conventions to shape the music industry as we know it, but have been overlooked simply because they are women.   Sister Rosetta Sharpe, Carol Kaye, Janet Weiss, Carole King, and Wu Man are just a few of the groundbreaking musicians author and illustrator Rachel Frankel shines a spotlight on.   • Each musician is accompanied by a vivid illustration and heartfelt biography • Readers discover new heroes and revisit familiar faces • Features an exposed spine designed to look like the neck of a guitar   These women rock—in every sense of the word.  She Can Really Lay It Down pays homage to songwriters, performers, and musicians from every genre, inspiring a whole new generation of fearless and talented performers.   This coffee table book and conversation starter is a wonderful gift for musicians, diehard music lovers, riot grrrls, singers and songwriters, music teachers, feminists of all ages, and anyone eager for more stories about musical women.

    Anthony James should have been dead ten times over. Once being a curious boy with a big heart, no vision and a lack of direction that kept him going in circles and eventually spiraling completely out of control. 
    Knowing the Lord at a young age was his saving grace. In the most harrowing situations he faced while wondering out on the streets, he leaned of God to keep him. Through miracle after miracle, that is exactly what God did. He kept him through rebellion, drug addiction, incarceration and difficult relationships to become the successful Chaplain and business owner that he is today. 
    Each and every day Mr. James counts his blessings not only to be alive, but to have a sound mind and the energy and strength to use all he has learned to impact the lives of others. 
    His prayer is that this book will help you overcome fear and the limitations life hands you in order to achieve your goals and dreams in life. Through his powerful stories, this book will lead you to a place to take full responsibility for your choices and know that you can be the author of your own destiny at any time. Get ready to be opened up to new dimensions of success and knowing who you are and get to know and see your true self instead of looking at other people’s lives.

    This book is full of my own life experiences that have shown me time and time again that God's hand is upon us even when it may be scary, dark and hopeless. He is in the midst of our circumstances, walking us through, and revealing the victory we have in His Son Jesus. This is a book about love, failure, pain, trouble, fear, healing and ultimately about victory before there is ever any hope of receiving it.

    The true story of a bizarre case in Myrtle Beach, and the trials that followed a young woman’s disappearance, by the bestselling author of Better Off Dead.   On a cold Southern night in 2013, under a full moon, twenty-year-old Heather Elvis parked her car at a boat ramp along the Intracoastal Waterway and was never seen again. The disappearance of the beautiful, vivacious hostess at a popular Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, restaurant made international headlines and triggered a sweeping high-stakes investigation that exposed a twisted web of deception, betrayal, sexual obsession, police corruption, and revenge. But Heather’s body was never located. A series of sensational trials involving a handsome restaurant coworker and his Disneyland-obsessed wife resulted in shocking verdicts—but no body—as her family desperately sought closure and fought for justice, and a resort town struggled to regain calm. This is the full compelling story from a renowned author of true crime.

    Daughter of Destiny, the autobiography of Benazir Bhutto, is a historical document of uncommon passion and courage, the dramatic story of a brilliant, beautiful woman whose life was, up to her tragic assassination in 2007, inexorably tied to her nation's tumultuous history. Bhutto writes of growing up in a family of legendary wealth and near-mythic status, a family whose rich heritage survives in tales still passed from generation to generation. She describes her journey from this protected world onto the volatile stage of international politics through her education at Radcliffe and Oxford, the sudden coup that plunged her family into a prolonged nightmare of threats and torture, her father's assassination by General Zia ul-Haq in 1979, and her grueling experience as a political prisoner in solitary confinement. With candor and courage, Benazir Bhutto recounts her triumphant political rise from her return to Pakistan from exile in 1986 through the extraordinary events of 1988: the mysterious death of Zia; her party's long struggle to ensure free elections; and finally, the stunning mandate that propelled her overnight into the ranks of the world's most powerful, influential leaders.
