  The disappearance and subsequent murder of one of Western Australia's most infamous underworld crime figures, Frank La Rosa, is only the tip of the iceberg. 
  This is a true account, the untold story of Frank's daughter Lisa Mahoney, told in intimate detail as only Lisa herself can tell it in this rollercoaster of a memoir. 
  It is more than a story of life as a drug dealer's daughter, and Lisa opens up about how her life was thrown into chaos on more than one occasion, including the many months of dealing with a missing person, to the somewhat closure she had when all hope was lost. 
  In this must-read book, you will take a journey into the shadows of a damaged heart as Lisa recalls the many trials and tribulations endured during her father's colourful lifetime and even beyond his death. 
  Many know the Frank La Rosa story. 
  Now it's time to read the story of the one who called him Dad…

  Without Exception is an unflinching call for freedom by way of abortion rights. 
   
   
   
  "A story told with honesty. I thank Pam Houston for this timely and timeless book" —CAMILLE T. DUNGY, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden 
   
   
   
  Written with equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly—and once again—dependent on geography and circumstance.

  “A book about young men transformed by war, written by a veteran whose dazzling literary gifts gripped my attention from the first page to the last.” —The Wall Street Journal “Friedman’s sober and striking new memoir . . . [is] on a par with Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried -- its Israeli analog.” —The New York Times Book Review It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for “casualties.” Award-winning writer Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.Pumpkinflowers is a reckoning by one of those young soldiers now grown into a remarkable writer. Part memoir, part reportage, part history, Friedman’s powerful narrative captures the birth of today’s chaotic Middle East and the rise of a twenty-first-century type of war in which there is never a clear victor and media images can be as important as the battle itself. Raw and beautifully rendered, Pumpkinflowers will take its place among classic war narratives by George Orwell, Philip Caputo, and Tim O’Brien. It is an unflinching look at the way we conduct war today.

  In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. 
   
   
   
  Schroeder remained by Hitler's side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. 
   
   
   
  In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder's testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing, and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s. 
   
   
   
  An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years With Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller's interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast.

  In August of 1985, a drunk driver torpedoed through his red light and blasted into my smaller mini truck. Instantly I fell comatose for nine weeks, but the real story is in my tenacity to overcome obstacles in my life that were not there before. 
  As an athlete through school, I succumbed to a life far different than the playing field. Faced with difficulties that were taken for granted, suddenly my world became a battlefield just to survive. I take the reader on a voyage into the unknown disabled community, where I candidly express my emotions. The accident left me vulnerable, which allowed my father in close. We were both too stubborn to show weakness and that kept us apart. 
  My hopes are to share my story and inspire those who are injured everyday, whether it is doctors & nurses or families & friends of those who receive care. I take the reader on a journey where hopefully you can find comfort in one person's survival.
