Sold outWinds of Maracaibo
A propulsive family drama, the story of a woman determined to recover her kidnapped daughter amid the ruins of Chávez's social revolution--the fast-paced English-language debut of an award-winning and bestselling author that brings the Venezuelan migrant crisis to life in lyrical, seething prose, for readers of Elizabeth Acevedo, Jesmyn Ward, and Gabriela Garcia It was too late now, y la ternura no basta--now that she'd tasted the gunpowder, and the gunpowder was bolivariano, revolutionary. And that unthinkable traitor Camilo was using it to blow up her life. "Elisa left with Camilo." "Camilo took her out of the country." These are the text messages Nina receives while living in the storage room of a university in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where she's cleaning houses to make money to send back home. Home is 4,500 miles away, in Maracaibo, Venezuela, where the water never runs on Mondays and there's yet another blackout. Where a trip to the grocery store costs 220 times the minimum wage. Home is Elisa, her thirteen-year-old daughter, who loves to run around the house and belt out Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." Who should be growing, when instead her waist is shrinking. Home is Graciela, Nina's mother, who lately stays shut up in her room all day talking with her dead, most urgently her beloved husband, Raúl (who's just as eager to talk back from the grave). And what the hell does Camilo think he's doing now, stealing off with their daughter to the United States of America--the one place Nina most assuredly never wants to call home? Narrated through the voices of Nina and her family, and through the voice of her treacherous ex, Camilo, The Winds of Maracaibo is the heart-racing tale of a mother fighting to get her daughter back across the border, at any cost--a brave and furious reversal of the American Dream and an ode to the Venezuelan women who gave their blood, sweat, and tears to a nation dismantled by the egos of men.Sold out -

Where Are You, Eddie? a Companion to Michael Rosen's Sad Book
A bereaved father sets out on a journey of discovery in this poignant, hopeful picture book from the celebrated author of Michael Rosen's Sad Book. It has been a while since Eddie died, and his father is still coming to terms with the fact that he's gone. He's not here, he's not there, he's not anywhere. Is that the end? In a beautiful, deeply moving picture book, Michael Rosen follows a father much like himself as he interacts with the people who were part of Eddie's life--his classmates, his coach, his siblings. As each person relays a memory, and as the father remembers Eddie himself, he realizes his son is still there, and that when he thinks of Eddie, each time it's new. With honesty, humor, and grace, the author of the personal memoir Michael Rosen's Sad Book, seen as one of the finest children's books about loss, makes clear that while grieving may be the work of a lifetime, so too are the quiet revelations that affirm that our loved ones are still with us. An author's note offers some background and support for anyone talking to children about bereavement.Sold out -
Sold outFamous Men
From the acclaimed author of Marlena comes a vivid, uncompromising novel about a young woman looking for a father and finding herself . "Julie Buntin understands the complexity of morality, declining easy answers to difficult questions about art and ethics as well as sex and desire. I tore through it."--Rumaan Alam, author of Entitlement and Leave the World Behind "Haunting and knife-bright . . . Famous Men renders womanhood with unsettling clarity."--Kiley Reid, author of Come and Get It and Such a Fun Age The right book at the right time can change your life. Will Miles is trapped. Trapped in tiny Greening, Michigan, where a toxic high school rumor has turned her into a social exile. Trapped in the predictable routines of her mother, and under the unrelenting gaze of her mother's increasingly sinister boyfriend. But when Will stumbles across the early poems of Nathaniel Fellow, a famous writer forty years her senior who also grew up in Greening, she feels she's found a kindred spirit. A passing comment from her mother only adds to Will's fascination: Is Nathaniel the father she's never known? Will orchestrates a plan to track Nathaniel down, following in his footsteps to New York City, where she learns he's not the answer to her past, not the way she imagined. But their meeting sparks a complicated, consuming relationship that gives Will sidelong access to a world she's only ever imagined: of writers and intellectuals, a financial safety net, and, most intoxicatingly, a glimpse into her own potential. But who is Nathaniel Fellow, off the page? And what will shaping her life to suit his cost her? When a torrent of information about his past threatens not just her life with Nathaniel, but the story she tells herself about him, Will is faced with a choice that will change everything. A gripping novel about ambition, parents and children, and all the ways women still pay for men's mistakes, Famous Men traces one woman's journey to the truth of where she comes from, what she's capable of, and how she might start again.Sold out -

Why We Fight: A Transformative Road Map to Healing Conflict in Any Relationship
A revolutionary guide to discovering your core wound, examining how it manifests in your life, and navigating conflict in all relationships, from the popular associate therapist and coach @kp_counseling.
Anyone in a long-term relationship knows that fighting is inevitable. Our goal should be fighting well, fighting clean--which is both shockingly hard to do and the basis of a successful partnership. In Why We Fight, relationship coach, couples' therapist, and former Fortune 500 tech engineer Kim Polinder offers a unique and practical process for couples to address the recurring conflicts in their relationships--by helping them understand why they fight in the first place.
If you're sick of feeling out of control as the same old fights keep bubbling up, Why We Fight provides a path to understanding why we experience repetitive arguments and contention in our intimate relationships, and how to change that before it's too late. With Kim's guidance, you will discover your core wound, analyze how that plays out in your life, and follow a series of questions and practices to reframe and implement new behaviors, resulting in an improved relationship with yourself and your loved one.
Before Kim gained her degrees in spiritual psychology and clinical mental health and became a therapist, she spent many years as an IT engineer for a Fortune 500 company. This training taught her to approach problems by seeking the root cause of issues. In these pages, you will learn to:
- identify your core wound(s), which might sound something like 'My feelings don't matter, ' 'I don't belong," or 'My feelings are overwhelming'
- understand your attachment style and how it might be holding you back
- apply basic communication exercises
- undo the 'bad math' of relationships that you absorbed in childhood
- express yourself effectively, not defensively
- figure out the best troubleshooting approach for when conflict emerges, as it inevitably will
Kim's simple, proprietary flowchart system (Step 1: Do I Feel Understood? Step 2: Find a Solution) with straightforward prompts has been a gamechanger for her clients and hundreds of thousands of followers, helping them navigate conflict, regulate their emotions, communication more effectively, and make informed decisions during tough arguments.
