  A “fiercely funny, powerfully smart, and remarkably brave” memoir from a #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Wild). 
   
  Jennifer Weiner is many things: a bestselling author, a Twitter phenomenon, and an “unlikely feminist enforcer” (The New Yorker). She’s also a mom, a daughter, and a sister, a clumsy yogini, and a reality-TV devotee. In this “unflinching look at her own experiences” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer fashions uproarishly funny and moving tales of modern-day womanhood. 
   
  No subject is off-limits in these intimate and honest essays: sex, weight, envy, money, her mother’s coming out of the closet, her estranged father’s death. From lonely adolescence to hearing her six-year-old daughter say the F word—fat—for the first time, Jen dives into the heart of female experience, with the wit and candor that have endeared her to readers all over the world.

  When Mark and Gus first met, they had no way of knowing they would one day be the owners of the largest home service company in Dallas–Fort Worth! From the onset of their first meeting, these two men knew they were part of something unique, something bigger, something they hope can be an example for others. While they shared every business owner’s dream of success, it wasn’t the money that was most important. At first, it was the challenge of overcoming normal start-up hardships alongside real-life crises, learning the ropes, and finding creative solutions to challenges they never saw coming. By keeping their eyes on what they considered most important—faith, family, and excellence—Mark and Gus embraced each challenge with love, loyalty to the vision, and compassion for the greater DFW community they serve. The values they put in place and their impact on the team, customers, and community are the heart and soul of Milestone. Discover the elements they put in place to create a company that works not just for its customers but for its team members and its community. Within these pages, you will learn how Gus and Mark turned each roadblock they met into an extraordinary opportunity to grow personally and professionally, while remaining true to their core values and beliefs.

  This book argues for a new Welsh Way, one that is truly radical and transformational. A call for a political engagement that will create real opportunity for change.
  
  
  Neoliberalism has firmly taken hold in Wales. The 'clear red water' is darkening. The wounds of poverty, inequality, and disengagement, far from being healed, have worsened. Child poverty has reached epidemic levels: the worst in the UK. Educational attainment remains stubbornly low, particularly in deprived communities. Prison population rates are among the highest in Europe. Unemployment remains stubbornly high. House prices are rising, with the private rented sector lining the pockets of an ever-increasing number of private landlords. Minority groups are consistently marginalised. All this is not to mention the devastatingly disproportionate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on working class communities.
  
  
  The Welsh Way interrogates neoliberalism's grasp on Welsh life. It challenges the lazy claims about the 'successes' of devolution, fabricated by Welsh politicians and regurgitated within a tepid, attenuated public sphere. These wide-ranging essays examine the manifold ways in which neoliberalism now permeates all areas of Welsh culture, politics and society. They also look to a wider world, to the global trends and tendencies that have given shape to Welsh life today. Together, they encourage us to imagine, and demand, another Welsh future.
