    "Joyce Fidler's life is one of many twists and turns and highs and lows. Sometimes she'll shock you; other times she'll bring you to tears. If you have an alcohol or drug addiction problem, her book will uplift you and encourage you to make important changes in your life.

I didn't think that I could be shocked, but particular parts of her story left me wide-eyed. The spiritual message left me teary-eyed."

    Considering my suicide, I stared out a window in Maryland and saw that rain blurred colors in a parking lot. The shame of being sexually abused caused recurring nightmares, and a life that became a complex facade of covers, military titles and secrets never told. In this book, published poet and author Adam Volant shares his own testimony of brokenness and success, rising from childhood abuse to flag officer in the military’s most specialized cyber operations. Centered on a poem written in the depth of his darkness, this honest portrayal illuminates a hurt that many harbor inside. After years of attempting to cover, reconcile, and cope with years of abuse, frail lies tied to alcohol and drugs pointed to his death. Reading No More Secrets will help unravel how horrible things can be used to draw us nearer to a more important truth.

    For eighteen years, Nora Lakheal has been relentlessly tracking down Islamist terrorists. Originally a philosophy student, the boxer from Barbès joined the police force as one would join a religion, but with a taste for action and the unexpected. She soon became the first woman to join the Group for Radical Islamism of SORS, the elite Intelligence Service. 
    Neither an exemplary life story, nor the umpteenth diary of a police officer, instead this book is the searing testimony of a woman who chose to risk her life – this is not said lightly - for her convictions and for France. In the image of this extraordinary personality, Elite Agent overturns all clichés and plunges us into the hectic career of an exceptional woman.

    For over forty years, ventriloquist Shari Lewis and her sassy hand puppet Lamb Chop were the most beloved team in children's television. Together with her other puppets Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy, Shari raised three generations of kids and struggled to stay relevant in an industry that was constantly changing. In this audiobook, cowritten and recorded by Shari's daughter Mallory Lewis (who now performs with Lamb Chop) and producer-biographer Nat Segaloff, you'll hear how Shari survived using sheer will and talent, how she reinvented herself to meet new  challenges, and the never-before-told story of the origin of Lamb Chop. 
     
     
     
    Shari's story is not only that of a versatile and talented entertainer. It's the personalized history of children's television and of a gifted woman's lifelong struggle to remain on top of a tough profession. 
     
      
     
    Mallory tells her mother's story with intimacy and honesty as Nat fills in the narrative. There's even a guest appearance by Lamb Chop.
