Paperback. Condition: Good. New and completely updated edition Hilarious and addictive, this chronicle of a small-town girl's stint as a celebrity nanny reveals what really happens in the diaper trenches of Hollywood. When Oregon native Suzanne Hansen becomes a live-in nanny to the children of Hollywood ber-agent Michael Ovitz, she thinks she's found the job of her dreams. But Hansen's behind-the-scenes access soon gets her much more than she bargained for: working twenty-four hours a day, juggling the shifting demands of the Hollywood elite, and struggling to comprehend wealth unimaginable to most Americans, not to mention dealing with the expected tantrums and the unexpected tense-and intense-atmosphere in the house where she lives with her employers. When the thankless drudgery takes its toll and Hansen finally quits, her boss threatens to blackball her from ever nannying in Hollywood again. Discouraged but determined, Hansen manages to land gigs with Debra Winger and then Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. Attentive, welcoming parents with a relaxed attitude toward celebrity-looks like Hansen's fallen into a real-life happy ending. But the round-the-clock workdays continue, rubbing some of the glitter off L.A. living, and Hansen's not sure how much longer she can pretend to be Mary Poppins. Even bosses who treat her like family can't help as she struggles to find meaning in her work while living in a town that seems to lack respect for nannies and everyone else who comes in the employee's entrance-but without whom many showbiz households would grind to a halt. Peppering her own journey with true stories and high drama experienced by other nannies to the stars, Hansen offers an intriguing, entertaining mix of tales from the cribs of the rich and famous. You'll Never Nanny in This Town Again is a treat for everyone who is fascinated by the skewed priorities of Tinseltown, for anyone who has wondered how high-wattage supermoms do it all, and for readers who love peeking behind the curtains of celebrity, all of whom will devour this unparalleled-and unabashedly true-account of one girl's tour of duty as Hollywood's hired help.

Hardback. Condition: Good. In his debut book, Fendi Onobun proves that it's never too late to find a new dream. Like many, Onobun was once just a kid shooting hoops in his backyard, who dreamt of playing for a much larger audience. Onobun knew that raw talent wasn't enough to play in the NBA, so he dedicated his life to training for the day he might play pro-ball. After playing power forward for the legendary Coach Lute Olson at the University of Arizona, a change in coaching staff left Onobun's chances of having a professional basketball career up in the air. With his childhood dream of making it to the NBA in question, friends proposed the idea of trying a new sport: football--a sport he only played once in middle school Onobun found himself at a crossroads. In a grueling year where he trained simultaneously to play basketball and learn football, he eventually transformed himself from a power forward to a tight end with NFL potential. Beset with injuries and troubles with his childhood, faith, and trust, he persevered. It was a tough road--for many, it would have been an impossible road--but Onobun's work ethic and determination to do the right thing ended in victory. In this fascinating and unique story, Onobun shares how he got to the top in sports, the hardships he faced, and what it takes to play in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. A story of grit, hard work, faith, and courage, Onobun's fast-paced tale of life on and off the court (and field) will leave you ready to tackle your dream--no matter how elusive it may seem.…
