  Choices is a culmination of not just my life, but a collective of experiences that have impacted me and shaped the trajectory of my life. To me, life is like a jigsaw puzzle. Each interlocking piece—our experiences, skills, and talents—fit into the bigger picture: our identity. People may be positively or negatively impacted by our “pieces” when taken in isolation, but we can extend grace once we examine the big picture. This requires an intent to understand people’s personal choices, wounds, and/or trauma.

  Following her Oscar nomination, tabloid cover girl Jackie Gold has been offered the role of a lifetime. At the height of her career, her equally famous boyfriend and current People’s “Sexiest Man of the Year” has a proposal of his own. It’s enough to make a pack of bloodthirsty paparazzi push her over the edge. 
  The year is 1999, and Jackie fights for her life while the press and public speculate on everything from whether “Jackie’s Jump!” was a suicide attempt to whether or not her breasts are real. Visitors circle her hospital bed, sharing regrets and spilling secrets when they think she can’t hear from her comatose state. 
  While drama unfolds at her bedside confessional, Jackie’s life replays like a movie in her mind. In a narrative both hilarious and heartbreaking, she recounts her improbable Malibu upbringing, her California coming of age, and the fat-free, drug-fueled, “glamorous” Hollywood career that led to her notorious jump. 
  Award-winning actor and director Dinah Manoff offers an honest, fictional glimpse behind the red carpet in her new novel about a Hollywood star, the remarkable journey that got her there, and her walk-in closet full of tabloid-worthy secrets. Best known for her roles in Grease and Empty Nest, Dinah Manoff has used her own experiences to craft an engrossing story both exciting and wise, posing the ultimate starry-eyed question: Does fame really matter in the end? 
  Performed by a full cast.

  It's 1982 and the Ramones are in a gutter-bound spiral. Following a run of inconsistent albums and deep in the throes of internal tensions, the legendary quartet is about to crash and burn. 
    
  Enter Richie Ramone. 
    
  Then a 26-year-old from New Jersey named Richard Reinhardt, he's snapped up by the group to be their new drummer and instantly goes from the obscurity of the underground club scene to membership in the most famous punk-rock band of all time, revitalizing the pioneering outfit with his powerful, precise, and blindingly fast beats—composing classic cuts like the menacing anthem “Somebody Put Something in My Drink” and becoming the only Ramones percussionist to sing lead vocals for the group. With the Ramones, he performs over five hundred shows at venues all around the world and records three storming studio albums—before abruptly quitting the band and going deep underground. To most fans, this crucial figure in the band's history has remained a mystery, his tale untold.

  a big-hearted larrikin with a whiteboard full of wisdom and a yarn (or 50) to tell.

  questionable), boisterous family gatherings and boardroom lessons. From his humble beginnings to becoming 
  a respected leader in the real estate industry, PB’s learned – often the hard way – what really matters in business, 
  family and life.

  without heart isn’t worth much. And that the best stories are often the ones we’re brave enough to tell, warts and all. 
  So take a seat, pour yourself a drink, and let Peter Brewer remind you how to live, laugh and leave a legacy – 
  one unforgettable Saturday at a time.

  Neil Wilson, Gower Initiative for Modern Money Studies, UK.
  
  "Warren Mosler is the most impressive economic thinker of the last 50 years. His ability to think clearly and isolate the signal from the noise is unmatched. Hopefully, his ideas will guide our societies in the 21st century."
  Dirk Ehnts, Speaker of the Board, Pufendorf Gesellschaft for Political Economy, Berlin.
