  An adventurer, firefighter, and jiu-jitsu practitioner embarks on a journey of a lifetime—a thousand–mile voyage through the Canadian subarctic—after recovering from a life-threatening illness. 
  The Canadian North is a vast and lonely land where bears roam free, fires rage unchecked, and storms blast every living thing on the tundra. When Stephan Kesting, already no stranger to pushing his own physical limits, was faced with a rare illness, he knew the only way for him to recover in both body and mind was to dig even deeper. 
  Despite the dangers inherent in the subarctic, Kesting sets out on an unimaginably difficult journey. Completely alone for six weeks in the wilderness, where a single mistake could cost his life, Kesting followed in the footsteps of the native peoples and earliest explorers. In this deepest solitude and wracked with self-doubt, he found the strength to endure. 
  Perseverance is the moving and nail-biting account of his journey from near-death to a raw embrace of adventure and life. Inspirational, vulnerable, and honest, Kesting shares the lessons he learned in the wilderness that will help us hold onto hope in our darkest moments and show how we can find the strength to overcome any obstacle.

  This book is a heart-stopping journey told in first person, which describes unusual courage and uncanny luck. It is the true story of a 13-year-old boy who lost everything during the Holocaust. He fought to live on in spite of ghettos, fatal line-ups, enslavement in work camps, and years of survival as a partisan in Polish forests. 
  From the cover: "His mother had to make a quick decision that no parent would ever want to make. Which of her children had the best chance to survive this calamity? Her son. Anschel, was the oldest and strongest. The two girls had to stay with her no matter what was coming."

  A Small Place in Italy

  Eric Newby

  This book is a lush and beautiful memoir of a very special house and a superb recreation of a bygone era. 
  In 1967, veteran travel writer Eric Newby and his heroic wife Wanda fulfiled their dream of a return to life in the Italian hills where they first met during World War II. But this fulfilment would not come easy. The dream materialised in the form of I Castagni ('The Chestnuts'), a small, decrepit farmhouse with no roof, an abandoned septic tank and its own indigenous wildlife reluctant to give up their home. But in the foothills of the Apuan Alps on the border of Liguria and Northern Tuscany, this ramshackle house would soon become a hub of love, friendship and activity. 
  Whether recounting dangerous expeditions through Afghanistan or everyday life in a country house, Newby's talent shines through as one of the foremost writers of the comic travel genre. Full of Newby's sharp wit and good humour, ‘A Small Place’ in Italy returns, twenty years later, to the life of Newby's much-cherished classic, Love and War in the Apennines. It lovingly recounts the quickly disappearing lifestyle of the idiosyncratic locals, and the enduring friendships they forge, whether sharing in growing their first wine harvest as novices or frying poisonous mushrooms for a feast. 
  The essays in A Small Place in Italy showcase Newby's best work, making it one of the top travelogues of its time. Readers will feel as if they are walking through the Italian hills alongside Newby and his wife. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (The Marches), Patrick Leigh Fermor (The Broken Road), David Grann (The Lost City of Z), Bruce Chatwin (What Am I Doing Here?), and Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration).

  Once Upon A Time In Palm Beach -...

  In her compelling beach-read memoir, Once Upon a Time In Palm Beach: Tales of Life and Love From The Land of Sunshine and Money, author Karen Soven reveals the world behind the wrought iron gates of Palm Beach. When a fashion job brings her to this land of wealth and privilege, Karen is as much a stranger here as Alice was in Wonderland. Island dwellers are here to enjoy life; she has come to make one. 
  Karen’s path is a whirlwind—from Manhattan fashion apprentice to sales director for handbag designer Lana Marks to soccer mom in a Lilly Pulitzer shift, to finally, when a socialite stepped in to play fairy godmother, business owner. With each role, Karen honed her gift for creating authentic connections, a skill that would later prove invaluable when she rebuilt her husband’s law firm to include clients ranging from hip-hop legends to the ultra rich. 
  When financial hardship and personal upheaval threaten to derail her carefully constructed world, Karen pushes forward, driven not by riches but by a deep sense of purpose. Her captivating prose captures the sky blues and cotton candy pinks of Island living, which isn’t all glamour and fashion but grace under pressure when the glass slipper shatters. 
  With a fresh take on fairy tales, gender roles and tradition, Karen holds up a mirror for readers to reflect on who they are when fortunes are reversed and gowns and jewels are consigned to pay the gardener. Just like the famous Worth Avenue—the setting for much of this story—Once Upon a Time in Palm Beach will leave you wondering: What is the real cost of happily ever after? How far will you go to get it? And in the end, is it all really worth it?
