  Rachel Cusk meets Nora Ephron in this intimate and evolving portrait about the end of a marriage and how life can fall apart and be rebuilt in wonderful and surprising ways. 
   
   
   
  One minute Elizabeth Crane and her husband of fifteen years are fixing up their old house in Upstate New York, finally setting down roots after stints in Chicago, Texas, and Brooklyn, when his unexpected admission—I'm not happy—changes everything. Suddenly she finds herself separated and in couples therapy, living in an apartment in the city with an old friend and his kid. It's understood that the apartment and bonus family are temporary, but the situation brings unexpected comfort and much-needed healing for wounds even older than her marriage. 
   
   
    
  Crafting the story as the very events chronicled are unfolding, Crane writes from a place of guarded possibility, capturing through vignettes and collected moments a semblance of the real-time practice of healing. At turns funny and dark, with moments of poignancy, This Story Will Change is an unexpected and moving portrait of a woman in transformation, a chronicle of how even the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are bound to change.

  A Syria-born dancer offers his deeply personal story of war, statelessness, and the pursuit of the art of dance in this inspirational memoir. 
   
    
   
  Dance or Die is an autobiographical coming-of-age account of Ahmad Joudeh, a young refugee who grows up in Damascus with dreams of becoming a dancer. When he is recruited by one of Syria's top dance companies, neither bombs nor family opposition can keep him from taking classes, practicing hard, and becoming a Middle Eastern celebrity on a Lebanese reality show. Despite death threats if Ahmad continues to dance, his father kicking him out of the house, and the war around him intensifying, he persists and even gets a tattoo on his neck right where the executioner's blade would fall that says, "Dance or Die." 
   
    
    
  A powerful look at refugee life in Syria, Dance or Die tells of the pursuit of personal expression in the most dangerous of circumstances and of the power of art to transcend war and suffering. It follows Ahmad from Damascus to Beirut to Amsterdam, where he finds a home with one of Europe's top ballet troupes, and from where he continues to fight for the human rights of refugees everywhere through his art, his activism, and his commitment to justice.

  Cassie: Victim or Coconspirator...

  Clayton Howard

  In this explosive literary debut, Clayton Howard breaks his silence to reveal the untold story of his eight-year entanglement with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and singer Cassie Ventura. As Combs' trial dominates headlines, Howard's haunting memoir offers an intimate counternarrative that challenges everything you think you know. 
  What began as a paid encounter at Manhattan's London Hotel in 2009 evolved into something far more complex—a web of desire, manipulation, and emotional dependency that defied easy categorization. Howard pulls back the curtain on the infamous "freak-offs," revealing not sensationalized tabloid fodder, but a raw exploration of power dynamics in the shadow of celebrity. 
  Through Howard's unflinching voice, both Diddy and Cassie emerge as flawed, multifaceted individuals navigating a world they created and were ultimately consumed by. Far from portraying Cassie as a passive victim, Howard presents her as an active participant in their toxic triangle—initiating, engaging, and complicating the narrative of abuse that has dominated media coverage. 
  From tender moments to terrifying encounters—including Cassie's overdose and Howard's own drugging—this memoir refuses to sanitize or sensationalize. Instead, it offers a meditation on consent, control, and the murky intersection of sex, money, and fame. 
  CASSIE is more than celebrity tell-all—it's a brutal examination of how power corrupts intimacy and how the truth is always more complicated than the headlines suggest. Howard's voice cuts through the noise with uncomfortable honesty, offering readers a chance to grapple with the moral ambiguities that define modern celebrity culture. 
  Raw, illuminating, and impossible to ignore.
