  This book is not for the faint of heart.
   
  Drugs, gangs, and violence form the backdrop of this gripping tale that follows a young girl caught at crossroads of her life. On the cusp of her twenties, with adulthood looming just ahead, she discovers just how much a detour can derail someone’s path. As our heroine faces multiple 
  challenges and navigates through unexpected events at every turn, life unfolds before her eyes in mysterious and unpredictable ways.
   
  Set in the 1990s, when grunge was at its dirtiest and hard rock blackened the ears and clothes of youth, this story follows suit with its own dark and grime soundtrack. Before the age of the internet and fast revolutions, this narrative takes on a much slower pace, sauntering through simpler days. Told as truthfully as possible with much grit and humility, this book is written for the underdogs, for the broken, and for those who get knocked down but never give up; for those who crawled their way out of the belly of Hell and for those we loved so dearly who died trying.

  This is a specially curated, abridged edition. The full, unabridged edition will be available soon. 
  In a world where we can feel so disconnected, bogged down by the motions and minutes that steal dreams and tuck the self out of sight, Muses and Muscle Memory: The Audio Experience invites you to sneak away and reconnect. There are moments — beautiful, chaotic, and in-between — that make us who we are; they're as ingrained as the bones beneath our skin. And there are muses — bursts or bodies — that inspire us to feel, to explore, to change, or to appreciate. But we need the space: to think, to remember, to create, or just to be. 
  Narrated by the author, Chris-Ann Miche, and sound designed by Joel Young, each poem pulls you into a vivid landscape of words, with sounds from everyday life, that ask you to sit, listen, breathe, and contemplate. 
  Touching on complicated themes like memory, grief, desire, love, fear, freedom, and more, Chris-Ann comes out of intellectual hiding to lead you through glimpses of her past and present, to give you a safe place to get lost, a secure place to feel, to linger in nostalgia, to explore longing and warmth, while considering what’s to come, away from the noise of the world. 
  In the words of RaeChelle-Faith Hamilton, "Chris-Ann truly has a gift. Her uncanny ability to pull you into her world, while evoking treasured moments from your own experiences, reflects empathy, and true craftsmanship. Her collection not only narrates her own life's questions, but beautifully and effectively reflects how we may also perceive the world, but are unable to find the words. Chris-Ann has not only found her voice but has managed to help us find our own.”

  Married… With Children vs the...

  Married . . . With Children burst onto the airwaves with a full-frontal attack on the myth of domestic tranquility depicted in family comedies since the dawn of TV. The outlier series, created by two rebellious writers given carte blanche from a fledgling FOX, became one of the longest running live-action sitcoms in television history and forever changed the way married life was portrayed on the very networks it so scathingly satirized. But it was far from smooth sailing as the creators bucked up against Barry Diller—then CEO of FOX— and then butted heads with network standards. 
   
   
   
  Married . . . With Children writer-producer Richard Gurman takes us behind the scenes of this boundary-breaking show to reveal how its inner workings were at times as disruptive and contentious—yet at other times, as hysterical and raunchy—as the Bundy family themselves. Featuring exclusive interviews with the cast, including Ed O'Neill and Katey Sagal, media moguls, network executives, writers, directors, critics, and even the woman who was so offended by one episode she launched a sponsor boycott that almost got the series canceled, Married . . . With Children vs. the World celebrates the rebellious, satirical vision of the show and the battle to keep it alive that paved the way for the tremendous diversity in family comedy style we see today.
