Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A moving, compelling memoir about growing up and escaping the tragic legacy of mental illness, suicide, addiction, and depression in one of Americas most famous families: the Hemingways.She opens her eyes. The room is dark. She hears yelling, smashed plates, and wishes it was all a terrible dream. But it isnt. This is what it was like growing up as a Hemingway. In this deeply moving, searingly honest new memoir, actress and mental health icon Mariel Hemingway shares in candid detail the story of her troubled childhood in a famous family haunted by depression, alcoholism, illness, and suicide. Born just a few months after her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, shot himself, it was Mariels mission as a girl to escape the desperate cycles of severe mental health issues that had plagued generations of her family. Surrounded by a family tortured by alcoholism (both parents), depression (her sister Margaux), suicide (her grandfather and four other members of her family), schizophrenia (her sister Muffet), and cancer (mother), it was all the young Mariel could do to keep her head. In a compassionate voice she reveals her painful struggle to stay sane as the youngest child in her family, and how she coped with the chaos by becoming OCD and obsessive about her food, schedule, and organization. The twisted legacy of her family has never quite let go of Mariel, but now in this memoir she opens up about her claustrophobic marriage, her acting career, and turning to spiritual healers and charlatans for solace. Ultimately Mariel has written a story of triumph about learning to overcome her familys demons and developing love and deep compassion for them. At last, in this memoir she can finally tell the true story of the tragedies and troubles of the Hemingway family, and she delivers a book that beckons comparisons to Mary Karr and Jeanette Walls.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. During his more than 50 years in politics, Democratic strategist Douglas E. Schoen has produced nearly two dozen books that have deftly dissected national and international crises and offered prescriptions for solving them. Now, in The Politics of Life: My Road to the Middle of a Hostile and Adversarial World, Schoen delivers his most personal work. Bringing to life the antiwar youthquake of his Harvard years, Schoen introduces us to Cornel West, Walter Isaacson, Merrick Garland, and other classmates bound for glory. A tense summer in Mississippi helps Schoen appreciate the long game of candidate Charles Evers, a bootlegger-pimp turned civil rights crusader. In New York, he witnesses the twilight of clubhouse power as he canvasses for society swell Carter Burden, mob priest Louis Gigante, and Ed (Howm doin?) Koch. Taking time out for his own run for Congress, Schoen joins data wunderkind Mark Penn in pioneering overnight polling getting to know everyone from Camelot heir Ted Kennedy to crack-smoking mayor Marion Barry to a brash developer named Donald Trump. Penn & Schoen evolves into a global consultancy, taking on strongmen in Serbia, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Turkey, and Venezuela. Two of its clients are assassinated. Three win the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1996, the duo guides beleaguered President Bill Clinton to a second term and through a wrenching sex scandal. Using a unique strategy for micro-targeting voters, the firm helps give Mayor Michael Bloomberg the time he needs to steer New York City to a recovery after 9/11.A HALF-CENTURY IN POLITICS WAR STORIES AND WISDOM Schoen seems to be on top of the world when a British multinational pays a fortune for Penn & Schoen. Out on his own, he shrugs off a new generation of progressives who mock his centrist views and his willingness to debate conservatives on Fox News. Gradually, he reinvents himself. He becomes a syndicated columnist, co-founds a new polling company, immerses himself in Ukraine's struggle against Russia, and saddles up again with Michael Bloomberg to help oust now-President Trump. Along the way, some former critics admit Schoen might have been right. Brimming with ripping yarns from campaign war rooms, The Politics of Life is also a manual for living a productive and happy life. Sprinkled through the memoir are the author's Schoenisms lessons he's learned the hard way: It helps if your opinion is correct. But first, it should sound convincing. Take on a despot when he first threatens you. Bullies only get bigger. Martyrdom is overrated. Don't fall on any swords unless there's an ambulance on the way. Shaming and blaming your opponents might impress your allies. But it doesn't accomplish much aside from chasing people away from the bargaining table. Don't waste time on feuds. Grudges sap your strength and hurt you almost as much as the person you're fighting. Most people are mixtures of light and darkness. Life is about learning the moral gradients the grayscale and deciding how much shadow you can live with.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A young teen escapes to America from Maos China in the early 60s and experiences the consequent culture shock of cruel racism, financial hardships, unexpected freedom, bewildering sexual mores, and the aching rejection and loneliness that so many immigrants face. Swept up in the 1960s antiwar movement in a pacifist and law-abiding way, Li is persecuted by the American law enforcement and immigration authorities. Timely and relevant for todays enlightened anti-racist views. In The Bitter Sea, Charles Lis unforgettable coming of age memoir, Li recounts the torturous pains of growing up in the early years of modern China. With his familys fortune destroyed, he is left impoverished in a Nanjing slum and endures crippling starvation within the harsh confines of a Communist reform school, all set against the opulent decadence of the foreign white ghosts in British Hong Kong. The Turbulent Sea recounts Lis escape to America and the shocking, cruel racism he not only endured but observed nationwide. His fantasy of a fair and free United States is challenged by the behavior of law enforcement, government, and even his college peers whose permissive sexual mores and disregard for outsiders leaves young Charles with a heartbreaking feeling of disappointment and loneliness. As in the case of so many immigrants worldwide who are seeking a better life, his myriad challenges include staying at the top of his class while struggling with financial hardships. He cant even afford a winter coat in the middle of Maines brutal snowstorms, and perhaps more heartbreaking, no one seems to notice or care. Growing steadily more involved in the antiwar movement, Li, having suffered in Maos China, becomes a dissident among his cohorts for holding the view that Mao was the diametrical opposite of a revolutionary hero. Yet, for his pacifist and law-abiding protest activities, Li is persecuted by the American law enforcement and immigration authorities. Lis intellectual and psychological journey at Bowdoin College, Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, is triumphant as he finds a group of talented friends who provide, at last, an opportunity for the love and care that eluded him for so long. Riveting, witty and illuminating, The Turbulent Sea is also an unconventional history of Americas 1960s from the perspective of a brilliant, quintessential outsider.

This book is a warning that our democratic form of government is in danger of collapsing and being replaced by an authoritarian state. Douglas E. Schoen keenly analyzes the presidencies of Kennedy, Nixon, Biden, and Trump through the lenses of political polarization, election campaigns, their early lives, their changing administrations, the role of fast-changing media, the impact of shifting racial relations, the drama of increasingly divisive immigration issues, and Americas evolving defense and foreign policy. Schoen uses these comparative analyses to create a masterful plan to unite America and save our democracy. His important suggestions include political reforms that support equality, improved education, and job training. He advocates for greater access to healthcare and compulsory national service.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The revelatory memoir of Lezley McSpaddenthe mother of Michael Brown, the African-American teenager killed by the police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9, 2014sheds light on one of the landmark events in recent history. I wasnt there when Mike Mike was shot. I didnt see him fall or take his last breath, but as his mother, I do know one thing better than anyone, and thats how to tell my sons story, and the journey we shared together as mother and son." Lezley McSpadden When Michael Orlandus Darrion Brown was born, he was adored and doted on by his aunts, uncles, grandparents, his father, and most of all by his sixteen-year-old mother, who nicknamed him Mike Mike. McSpadden never imagined that her sons name would inspire the resounding chants of protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, and ignite the global conversation about the disparities in the American policing system. In Tell the Truth & Shame the Devil, McSpadden picks up the pieces of the tragedy that shook her life and the country to their core and reveals the unforgettable story of her life, her son, and their truth. Tell the Truth & Shame the Devil is a riveting family memoir about the journey of a young woman, triumphing over insurmountable obstacles, and learning to become a good mother. With brutal honesty, McSpadden brings us inside her experiences being raised by a hardworking, single mother; her pregnancy at age fifteen and the painful subsequent decision to drop out of school to support her son; how she survived domestic abuse; and her unwavering commitment to raising four strong and healthy children, even if it meant doing so on her own. McSpadden writes passionately about the hours, days, and months after her son was shot to death by Officer Darren Wilson, recounting her time on the ground with peaceful protestors, how she was treated by police and city officials, and how she felt in the gut-wrenching moment when the grand jury announced it would not indict the man who had killed her son. After the system failed to deliver justice to Michael Brown, McSpadden and thousands of others across America took it upon themselves to carry on his legacy in the fight against injustice and racism. Tell the Truth & Shame the Devil is a portrait of our time, an urgent call to action, and a moving testament to the undying bond between mothers and sons. Synopsis coming soon.

"The world breaks everyone and afterward some people are strong at the broken places." - Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms. "7 suicides. Depression. Bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia. Addiction. All in one celebrated, beautiful, brilliant family. The Hemingway family - like millions of other families - has struggled for generations with the pain and shame of mental illness, depression, and addiction. Sadly, they know the tragic reality of suicide and the enduring heartache of those left behind. Born just months after her celebrated novelist grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, took his own life, Mariel grew up with both the promise and the burden of her family's name: immense talent and energy on the one hand, a painful legacy of alcoholism, mental illness, and suicide on the other. The youngest of three sisters, Mariel quickly learned to navigate the treacherous contradictions in her own family: a loving but withdrawn, alcoholic father, a depressed mother who struggled to show affection and who spent years fighting cancer, and two troubled older sisters who grew increasingly out of control. Most evenings, bottles of wine were consumed to smooth over the tensions - but instead ended smashed against the walls. Mariel, hiding under her covers in fear, would sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to clean up after her parents' fights, hoping always to make things right - and normal. Ambitious and eager to escape the chaos of home, Mariel embarked on an acting career at a young age, earning an Oscar nomination in Woody Allen's Manhattan. At the same time, her stunningly beutiful sister Margaux made a dizzying ascent as an iconic supermodel, but all of that would come undone, as Mariel relates in moving detail, as Margaux turned to alcohol and drugs, fell deep into depression, and finlly, suicide - the seventh member of the extended family to do so. Her other sister, Muffet, also began a lifelong battle with mental illness. Mariel, too, struggled. The specter of depression and childhood traumas haunted her. What followed was a decades-long battle with eating disorders (only raw vegetables one month, iced coffee and snack food the next), obsessions about her weight, control issues, and endless mantras in her journal, and unhealthy, needy relationships that left her empty. She tried anything to make her feel in control. But she fought back, found a healthy plan, and against the odds, she flourished. Though in her darkest moments she often felt alone, she was anything but that. Almost a quarter of Americans suffer from some form of mental illness, and more than ten percent struggle with substance abuse. Rates of depression have been growing rapidly since 2000. Worldwide, over 800,000 people die by suicide every year - that's one person every forty seconds. Yet these deaths are often preventable. Mariel knows that there is still a veil of shame associated with mental illness and knows too the pain and heartbreak for families. With candor and clarity, Mariel demonstrates that with compassion, education, and understanding, there is a way out of the darkness." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
