Hardback. Condition: Good. The definitive account of Whitney Houston's astonishing life, ground-breaking career, and tragic death -- complete with never-before-seen photographs -- from the only one who truly knows the story behind the headlines: her mother, Cissy Houston. Cissy has said little publicly about Whitney's heart-breaking death. Now, for the first time, she opens up and shares the unbelievable story of her daughter's life, as well as her own, and addresses Whitney's brightest and darkest moments.

With candor and respect, she sets the record straight about Whitney, exploring both her turbulent marriage and her misunderstood struggles with drug abuse. Cissy goes behind the tabloid headlines to show fans around the world the true, human side of a strong, successful -- yet flawed -- musical icon who died much too young.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. When the time is right for sailing, the Polynesian voyaging canoe Ar'i-ati-tai sets off from Tahiti for islands far to the north where no one in memory has sailed before. Passengers and crew crowd the decks and say goodbye forever to their homeland. In command is high chief and navigator Vahi-roa, grandfather to the boy Teva. Teva is torn betweem sadness and pride, and he is troubled by doubts. Yet he knows he must face the challenges of the voyage in order to learn his "grandfather's sky"--the accumulated knowledge of many generations of wayfinders. Will they survive the long voyage? Will the chants guide them to their destination? Will Vahi-roa's knowledge sustain them? Or will the unknown swallow them all, as it did Teva's father? This story is the human side of a most extraordinary historical accomplishment--the voyage from Tahiti to Hawai'i by the ancient Polynesians, who without maps or charts but armed with a vast understanding of sea and sky, crossed thousands of miles of open ocean. Told from the point of view of a child, To Find the Way is a story of courage and survival, of coming of age, and of learning to trust the ancient knowledge of a seafaring people. Gray, Cissy (illustrator).…
