  Writer and performer on Late Night with Seth Meyers Amber Ruffin writes with her sister Lacey Lamar with humor and heart to share absurd anecdotes about everyday experiences of racism.  Now a writer and performer on Late Night with Seth Meyers and host of The Amber Ruffin Show, Amber Ruffin lives in New York, where she is no one's First Black Friend and everyone is, as she puts it, "stark raving normal." But Amber's sister Lacey? She's still living in their home state of Nebraska, and trust us, you'll never believe what happened to Lacey.  From racist donut shops to strangers putting their whole hand in her hair, from being mistaken for a prostitute to being mistaken for Harriet Tubman, Lacey is a lightning rod for hilariously ridiculous yet all-too-real anecdotes. She's the perfect mix of polite, beautiful, petite, and Black that apparently makes people think "I can say whatever I want to this woman." And now, Amber and Lacey share these entertainingly horrifying stories through their laugh-out-loud sisterly banter. Painfully relatable or shockingly eye-opening (depending on how often you have personally been followed by security at department stores), this book tackles modern-day racism with the perfect balance of levity and gravity.

  Some storms come from outside. Others live in your own chest. Sheepdog and the Wolves is the raw story of a man trying to guard what he loves while wrestling the wolves at the door, and the ones in his own mind. This isn’t another survival tale. It’s about young love grown heavy under real life. The roles we take on too soon, the burdens we carry alone, and the quiet war we wage with fear, weakness, and the need to be needed. These pages hold both sides: the protector and the part that longs to be protected, the strength and the doubt. There’s no sugarcoating here—just a slow, unflinching walk through the storms that tear at a marriage and a man’s soul. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too broken to keep standing guard, or if you’ve ever felt lost in the fight for your family. This book is for you. Bo Thatcher opens his journals and lays bare the nights he questioned his marriage, the fights that left scars, the weight of responsibility, and the battle between fear and hope. He writes not as a polished hero but as a man who stumbled, stood back up, and kept fighting for what mattered most. Sheepdog and the Wolves invites you into the storm—not to offer easy answers, but to walk with you through the questions.

  Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football. 
  Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment. 
  He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world? 
  With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities. 
  He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider. 
  More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots. 
  As a non-fiction blend of autobiography and biography, HUMANS NOT ROBOTS delivers a latest, up-coming voice in soccer that reframes recreation through the lens of real social pressure. Antonio threads cultural insight through the narrative and speaks directly to discrimination and the essay-like truths that fans need to hear.

  Mike Perry’s extraordinary and thoughtful account of meeting the people of his small hometown by joining the fire and rescue team was a breakout hit that “swells with unadorned heroism” (USA Today) 
  Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now-after a decade away-he has returned. 
  Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Mike figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, he tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.  
  Tracing his calls on a map in the little firehouse, he sees “a dense, benevolent web, spun one frantic zigzag at a time” from which the story of a tiny town emerges.
