  You are not broken. You are not late. You are right on time. 
  Trusting yourself in a noisy world can feel like standing in a fitting room under bad lighting, trying on versions of yourself that never quite feel like you. 
  Trust Yourself Anyway is your permission to stop squeezing into lives that aren’t made for you and start listening to the quiet inner voice that already knows what fits. 
  Sally Miller has spent more than three decades designing clothes for girls and women. She knows what it means to watch someone light up when they finally see themselves clearly. And in this book, she brings that same magic to the inner world. 
  Through story, humor, and lived experience, Sally shares the moments that reshaped her life.  
  The risks and the reinventions.  
  The surprising clarity that comes from paying attention and letting go.  
  Woven through these stories is a simple framework rooted in the four pillars that have supported her own evolution. Trust, Awareness, Curiosity, and Letting Go. Together, they offer a way of growing peace, creativity, and the confidence to take more risks. 
  This isn’t a “fix yourself” book. 
  It’s a “remember who you are” book. 
  And it will remind you of what’s been true all along: 
  You’re not lost. You just stopped trusting yourself.

  This WWII memoir tells the remarkable story of a Ukrainian girl’s perilous adventures and coming of age amid the chaos of war.  Born in Kiev to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, Sophia Williams chose to be identified as Jewish when she became eligible for a Soviet passport at age sixteen. She had no way of realizing the life-changing consequences of her decision. When Germany invaded Russia the following year, Sophia left Kiev and embarked on daring journey into Russia—surviving floods, dodging fires and bombs, and falling in love.   After reaching Stalingrad, Sophia found herself stranded in a Nazi-occupied town. She was safely employed by a sympathetic German officer until a local girl recognized her as a Jew. Within days, Sophia’s boss spirited her to safety with his family in Poland. Soon, though, Sophia was on the run again, this time to Nazi Germany, where she somehow escaped detection through the rest of the war.   Her story of survival continues into the postwar years, through starting a family and business with a German soldier. But when her marriage deteriorated, even divorce was not enough to keep her vindictive and violent husband away. Throughout this difficult life, Sophia maintained the grit, charm, and optimism that saved her time and again as she made her “escape into danger.”

  In late-1940s Long Branch, a historic but run-down Jersey Shore resort town, in a neighborhood of Italian, Black, and Jewish families, Robert Pinsky began his unlikely journey to becoming a poet. Descended from a bootlegger grandfather, an athletic father, and a rebellious tomboy mother, Pinsky was an unruly but articulate high school C student, whose obsession with the rhythms and melodies of speech inspired him to write. 
   
   
   
  Pinsky traces the roots of his poetry, with its wide and fearless range, back to the voices of his neighborhood, to music and a distinctly American tradition of improvisation, with influences including Mark Twain and Ray Charles, Marianne Moore and Mel Brooks, Emily Dickinson and Sid Caesar, Dante Alighieri and the Orthodox Jewish liturgy. He reflects on how writing poetry helped him make sense of life's challenges, such as his mother's traumatic brain injury, and on his notable public presence, including an unprecedented three terms as United States poet laureate. 
   
   
   
  Candid, engaging, and wry, Jersey Breaks offers an intimate self-portrait and a unique poetic understanding of American culture.
