The legendary New York Yankees catcher tells the incredible story  of his personal journeyFor seventeen seasons, the name Jorge Posada was synonymous with New York Yankees baseball. Now, in this long-awaited memoir, one of the greatest Yankees ever to put on the uniform details his journey to home plate, sharing a remarkable, generational account of his journey from the ballfields of Puerto Rico to the House That Ruth built. Offering a view from behind the mask unlike any other, Jorge discusses the key moments and plays that shaped teams and forged a legacy that came to define Yankees baseball for a generation. With pitch-by-pitch recall, Jorge looks back across the years, explaining how—as part of the Core Four alongside Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera—he helped to reestablish the Yankees as a dynasty and win five World Series. Going beyond his all-star career, Jorge also shares his life in full for the first time, examining how his remarkable journey to the big leagues began in the most unexpected of ways. Digging into his cultural roots in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba, Jorge illuminates three generations of cherished father-son relationships that have made him the man he is today. At the center is the deep bond he shares with his father and namesake, Jorge Sr., who escaped Cuba and would eventually mold his son to be a ballplayer, honing his talent and instilling in him the drive necessary to fulfill his childhood dream of playing in the Bronx.My Journey Home is a testament to hard work and a celebration of the generational gift of baseball between fathers and sons.

As a comedian and conservative thinker, whip-smart funny Tom Shillue grounds his ideas about our current culture and political climate in stories from his childhood -- a portrait of growing up in 1970s America. Growing up as one of five kids in a devout Irish Catholic family in a small town outside of Boston, Tom sincerely believes that the rough-and-tumble, rules-dominated world in which he came of age was a better America--a time and place that made him into the well-adjusted, happy, successful man he is today.In Mean Dads for a Better America, Tom reminisces about his childhood, his family, and the traditional values he cherishes. He takes us back to a time when neighbors disciplined each other's children without fear of being sued, when kids made it to the family table for dinner, when parents' rules were gospel, when the occasional fistfight was considered a fair way to solve a problem, and when children were free to roam, make mistakes, and experience the first tastes of independence.Tom debates, debunks, and entertains with his hilarious approach to issues of the day, tackling the issues that confound many Americans, like our hypersensitive culture and overzealous parenting. As Tom celebrates the stability of family life and the sanity of days gone by, he encourages us to hold on to our sense of humor and look back at our own lives, as we work towards creating a better future for ourselves and our kids, all while making us laugh.

THIS IS WHAT MOMMY BURNOUT LOOKS LIKEWomen today are fed up. What used to be the stuff of comedy—the harried mom in sweatpants and the messy bun—just isn’t funny anymore. Being everything to everyone is just too much pressure and the cracks are starting to show. Think of the number of times you’ve asked a woman how she was, only to hear, “I’m exhausted.” “I’m so stressed out.” “I’m just so busy.” Think of how many times you’ve said it yourself. Modern motherhood is something very different from what our grandmothers and mothers experienced. The pressure to produce the most healthy, balanced lunches for your children, enroll them in enriching extracurricular activities for just the right amount of days a week, the birthday party bonanza that must be photo-worthy of posting on social media, and the pressure to get your kids into the right school—these are today’s concerns. Add in work-life balance, disconnection from friends and families, and a healthy dose of social media–induced anxiety and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. No one can sustain this, but millions of women are living this way and doing themselves damage in the process, because constant exposure to this kind of stress causes you physical and emotional harm. This is what Mommy Burnout looks like. Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, a Denver-based child psychotherapist, learned after nineteen years of counseling families and children that while it’s generous to go above and beyond for your kids, the fallout goes beyond moms—husbands, partners, colleagues, and, most of all, children are feeling the effects, too. In Mommy Burnout, Dr. Ziegler shares insights on:How to identify if you are suffering from depression and anxiety that requires medication, or burnout, or all threeHow burnout can put marriages in jeopardy in surprising waysHow working moms envy at-home moms, and at-home moms envy working moms, and their levels of dissatisfaction are surprisingly similarHow your burnout makes your kids feel, and how it can even be contagiousWhy burnout makes you feel like your life has no purposeSo how do we stop the burnout cycle and protect our children from the damage?From years of personal and professional practice, Dr. Ziegler has devised a prescriptive program for addressing this epidemic—teaching moms that they can find ways to reenergize themselves and not get mired in guilt. Filled with real stories from real moms, and empowering, proven solutions for alleviating this condition, Mommy Burnout offers the hope modern moms need to save marriages and keep kids happy in the process.

Terrible, thanks for asking. That’s how it feels to be a widowed mother at age thirty-one. But before Nora McInerny started the Hot Young Widows Club, she bounced from boyfriend to dopey “boyfriend” until she met Aaron—a funny and charismatic art director and comic-book nerd. When Aaron was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, they refused to let it limit their love. They got engaged on Aaron’s hospital bed, had a baby boy while he was on chemo, and packed a lifetime of marriage into three short years. All too soon, Aaron died in Nora’s arms. The obituary they wrote while in hospice touched the nation (and revealed his true Spider-Man identity). With It’s Okay to Laugh, Nora puts a young, fresh twist on the subjects of mortality and resilience. What does it actually mean to live your “one wild and precious life” to the fullest?

One of the foremost entertainers of the twentieth century--singer, actor, choreographer, and, of course, the most dazzling "hoofer" in the history of motion pictures--Fred Astaire was the epitome of charm, grace, and suave sophistication, with a style all his own and a complete disregard for the laws of gravity.
