  Get ready to become delightfully unstuck. 
  Bestselling author Rachael Herron is stuck. She and her partner have lived in their beloved East Oakland home for 15 years, almost as long as they’ve been married. But the house is in a rough area, and they’re tied to a mortgage she’s not sure they’ll ever be able to pay off.   
  So when the whispered longing for adventure grows into a bellow she can’t ignore, Rachael decides to utilize not only her dual citizenship but also her impulsive nature.  
  She and her partner will abandon their standard-issue American life and move to the far-distant shores of Aotearoa.  
  It’ll be easy, she thinks. It’ll be fun! They’ll ditch the mortgage and pack a couple of bags, traveling light and fast to find a new life. She’ll say goodbye to everyone she knows and loves, board the plane using a one-way ticket, and surely, that will solve everything.  
  But even though she hasn’t bargained on the difficult realities behind relocations made with no final destination in mind, she can’t begin to imagine the untold surprises that will unfurl along her way.  
  “Herron’s jaunty prose will have readers breezily flipping through the pages as she enriches the narrative with indelible metaphors. This true story shows that making a big move can be a daunting but worthwhile and fascinating endeavor.”—Kirkus Reviews  
  In this no-holds-barred love story, a delightful cross between Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun, Rachael chronicles the messy, enchanting, and growth-demanding challenges of relocation and personal resurrection. 
  “The story of Herron’s move to the other side of the world in Unstuck made me feel EVERYTHING: curiosity, grief, transformation and joy. I LOVED every moment of this glorious, heart-warming book.”—Monna McDiarmid, author of After Everything

  ‘A riveting read that skips along at pace. Illuminating and concerning, it lifts the lid on the tawdry world of Westminster powerbroking’ Tim Shipman, The Times 
  YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE ELECTED ARE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. 
  THINK AGAIN. 
  When Boris Johnson came to power in 2019, he did so with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. Rewriting the political map, he united a party and shattered Labour’s fabled red wall. And yet, just three years later, he was ousted by the same members who had once greeted his leadership so rapturously. 
  What had gone so wrong? 
  The Plot is the seismic, fly-on-the-wall account of how the saviour of the Conservative Party became a pariah. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources talking with astonishing candour, it reveals the shocking truth about powerful forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster and those who became the architects of a Prime Minister’s downfall. 
  This is the story of a damning trail of treachery and deceit fuelled by an obsessive pursuit of power, which threatens to topple the very fabric of our democracy. 
  The Plot is a non-fiction biography that takes readers on a journey through the labyrinth of political parties, ideologies, and the heads that govern them. Penned by Sunday Times bestselling author Nadine Dorries, it's a revealing look at the corruption and misconduct that often goes unnoticed. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Barbra Streisand (My Name is Barbra).

  Hiding for My Life - Being Gay...

  Karen Solt, an eighteen-year-old nonconformist with an alcohol problem, is working at a gas station when a slick Navy recruiter railroads her into enlisting in the military. Before she knows it, she is on a ship in the Deep South, struggling to navigate not only a world much different from her small Northern Arizona hometown but also her new discovery: she’s gay. 
  Figuring out her sexuality clarifies many things, but also creates a daunting new set of problems, for Karen. It’s 1984: being gay in the Navy is considered a crime, and gay Sailors are regularly hunted by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service. Discovery means being kicked out, and by this point she is committed to the uniform (and to remaining with her first girlfriend, who is also enlisted). So she learns to hide her secret and find a way to serve—and even thrive professionally—without getting caught. But concealing her truth ultimately leads to devastating consequences. 
  A story of desire, addiction, the damage of secrets, the power of community, and the soul-crushing cost of turning people into “others,” Hiding for my Life is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit—and a poignant call for each of us to come out from hiding and live our truth.
