    Stefanie Wilder-Taylor has never been one to take the easy, conventional route. In her latest work It’s Not Me, It’s You, she unabashedly showcases a life well lived, ignoring all wisdom, but yet somehow, coming out on top. Combining her trademark biting wit and straightforward common sense, the anticipated comedic memoir delivers outrageous tales from all periods of her life and family history. From Taylor’s outlook on working hard (audition for a game show instead) to getting her husband to propose (forget The Rules: try nagging and physical violence) these stories venture beyond daycare, sure to entertain both parents and non-parents alike. Covering a wide range of topics that explore the anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion that accompany the rewarding, comical, awe-inspiring, and life-altering roles of parent, teenager, wife, and daughter, It’s Not Me, It’s You offers readers an escape, empathy, and plenty of laughs.

    "You're Nellie Westrop and don't you forget it. 
We'll see each other one day, but until we do, take good care of yourself. 
Live a good life. 
Now go, my love." 
From the author of Silver Darlings comes LK Wilde's captivating portrayal of the life of Queenie Read. 
Heart warming and breaking in equal measure, Queenie of Norwich is perfect for fans of The Foundling, Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Smallest Man. 
People say you get one life, but I've lived three. 
I was born Ellen Hardy in 1900, dragged up in Queen Caroline's Yard, Norwich. 
There was nothing royal about our yard, and Mum was no queen. 
At six years old Mum sold me. I became Nellie Westrop, roaming the country in a showman's wagon, learning the art of the fair. 
And I've been the infamous Queenie of Norwich, moving up in the world by any means, legal or not. 
I've been heart broken, abandoned, bought and sold, but I've never, ever given up. 
After all, it's not where you start that's important, but where you end up. 
Based on a true story, Queenie of Norwich is the compelling tale of one remarkable girl's journey to womanhood. 
Spanning the first half of the 20th century, Queenie's story is one of heartbreak and triumph, love and loss and the power of family. 
It is a story of redemption, and how, with grit and determination, anything is possible.

    In an era of mass migration in which more than 100 million people are displaced comes this lyrical portrait of Syrian and Iraqi refugees and the belongings they carry. What We Remember Will Be Saved is a book of hope, home, and the stories we hold within us when everything else has been lost.Journalist and scholar Stephanie Saldaña, who lived in Syria before the war, sets out on a journey across nine countries to meet refugees and learn what they salvaged from the ruins when they escaped. Now, in the narratives of six extraordinary women and men, from Mt. Sinjar to Aleppo to Lesvos to Amsterdam, we discover that the little things matter a great deal. Saldaña introduces us to a woman who saved her city in a dress, a musician who saved his stories in songs, and a couple who rebuilt their destroyed pharmacy even as the city around them fell apart. Together they provide a window into a religiously diverse corner of the Middle East on the edge of unraveling, and the people keeping it alive with their stories.Born of years of friendship and reporting, What We Remember Will Be Saved is a breathtaking, elegiac odyssey into the heart of the largest refugee crisis in modern history.
