  "A compelling biography of one of our nation's greatest journalists. Outstanding."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University 
    
  "Well-reported and -researched."—Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk 
    
  A definitive account of the life and work of Garry Trudeau, creator of the massively popular and influential cartoon Doonesbury, based on archival sources and extensive interviews, including with Trudeau himself. 
    
  ​Drawing on previously unmined archival materials and extensive interviews with Trudeau, his friends, fellow cartoonists, prominent journalists, and even politicians who were mocked in the strip, Trudeau & Doonesbury is an entertaining romp through both Trudeau's remarkable life and the last half century of American history. 
    
  Biographer Joshua Kendall tells the story of the cartoonist and what drove him to put pen to paper. He traces Trudeau's boyhood in the Adirondack Mountains, his teenage angst in prep school, and his formative years at Yale, where he began drawing his iconic strip. And he shows the changing world it reflected; Doonesbury began appearing in papers nationwide in 1970, and big events, from Watergate to the war in Vietnam, fueled its popularity and its significance. 
    
  For more than 50 years, Doonesbury has helped drive the national conversation. The first comic strip to win a Pulitzer Prize, Garry Trudeau's sprawling narrative featuring a host of beloved characters has reflected America back to itself, capturing the highlights and lowlights of American politics and culture with wit and penetrating insight. And as Doonesbury's characters aged alongside their creator, Trudeau became one of the preeminent chroniclers of the Baby Boom generation. 
    
  Trudeau & Doonesbury is a unique and compelling biography of both the individual behind Doonesbury and the times he has chronicled.

  What happens when you change the rules about dealing with difficult people? 
  Marcus Winters has always been a master at keeping the peace—accommodating his narcissistic wife Vanessa's emotional needs and navigating his brilliant but difficult product development team at work. He creates systems, follows rules, and does whatever it takes to maintain harmony. But beneath his calm exterior, Marcus is drowning. 
  Enter Dr. Valerie Mercer, "The Difficult Person Whisperer." Armed with unconventional wisdom and strange symbolic objects, she teaches Marcus five transformative principles that challenge everything he thought he knew about difficult relationships. 
  As Marcus begins to stand his ground, Vanessa and his team escalate their resistance through increasingly manipulative tactics. Just when small breakthroughs emerge, crisis strikes, forcing Marcus to choose between managing his wife's manufactured meltdown and salvaging his career during the most important business dinner of his life. 
  Faced with devastating ultimatums from Vanessa and his boss, Marcus must decide whether maintaining his newfound boundaries is worth losing everything he's worked for. What follows isn't about winning or losing but discovering that sometimes the most courageous move is changing how you play. 
  Quinn Price masterfully blends workplace drama with relationship psychology, creating a story about transformation and the courage to live by rules that actually work. Perfect for fans of Brené Brown and Liane Moriarty.

  As a young girl, Desange Kuenihira was told repeatedly that she was meaningless. An arranged marriage and motherhood before twenty—guaranteeing a life in poverty—were all she was told to expect. But Desange knew she had more inside her, and that education was the key to unlocking her potential. 
  In Undefeated Woman, Desange Kuenihira takes us on the challenging journey of her childhood. She recalls fleeing with her siblings from the civil war raging in Congo and the daily struggle of life in a refugee camp in Uganda, where she suffered many forms of abuse. She relates her journey to America, the culture clash of living with American foster families, and her quest for her education and the ability to control her own life. Now a college graduate and determined to pay forward the kindness of those that helped her through, Desange has launched the nonprofit UnDEfeated to empower women and girls in Uganda. 
  Desange’s inspirational story shows us all how we can overcome any odds through education, determined perseverance, and the kindness of caring people.
