  The Waldhaus Hotel in Sils Maria was built in between 1905 and 1908 for the experienced hotelier Josef Giger-Nigg according to the plans of architect Karl Koller, who was gaining a reputation as a hotel architect in the Engadine at that time. Both the Waldhaus’s exterior and interiors reveal the transition from the opulent style of the Belle Époque to the simple lines that marked the beginning of the 20th century. The Waldhaus, largely preserved and maintained in its original state, is one of the few five-star hotels to have remained in the hands of the same family since its opening. Even now, it is personally managed by the founding family, now in its fifth generation. Their steadfast dedication to maintaining a long hotel tradition (“a family affair since 1908”) and their highly professional approach to the preservation of the historic property (complete with its own little museum) have recently been honored with several prestigious awards.

  The ultimate front-row seat to Hootie & the Blowfish and Jim “Soni" Sonefeld’s breathtaking path from addiction to recovery. 
   
  For a time, there was no bigger band in the world than Hootie & the Blowfish—rock & roll’s unexpected foil to the grunge music that dominated the early ’90s airwaves. Jim Sonefeld, drummer and one of the group’s principal songwriters,  
  reveals their humble beginnings, meteoric rise, Grammy Award–winning musicianship, sudden fall, and ultimate rebirth—and opens his heart to readers about addiction, recovery, and faith. 
   
  Hootie’s debut album Cracked Rear View was one of the bestselling in the history of rock music. It saturated radio airwaves, television, and culture, and placed the quartet at the center of the American music conversation—for better and for  
  worse. Though Jim enjoyed the perks that came with fame—the parties, the relationships, the money, the drugs and alcohol—eventually it all became a camouflage that hid a deeper spiritual malady. As his life careened toward  
  disaster, he sought relief in twelve-step recovery, eventually devoting himself to a loving but by no means uncomplicated home life. 
   
  Swimming with the Blowfish is an unpretentious, emotional story of one man’s spiritual path to a more fruitful life. Jim’s journey is staggering and redeeming, and ultimately as comforting as your favorite flannel shirt.
