Growing Up Can Be Perfect in Its Imperfection The Jessica Darling series chronicles one young woman’s coming-of-age in the first decade of the 21st century. Over five books and ten years, Jessica Darling fumbles her way into adulthood.

Through all her misadventures in high school, college, and beyond, Jessica gets long-distance support from her best friend, Hope.

The Guest Book
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What happens when you learn the inconvenient truth about your family? What happens when its secrets come out? 'Powerful and provocative' Paula McLain 'Beautiful, engrossing, heart-breaking' Rachel Rhys 'Monumental in a way that few novels dare' Washington Post The Miltons are a powerful old New York family, the kind that runs the world. And in 1935, they do. For generations, Kitty and Ogden Milton revel in their own utopia, a small island they own off the coast of Maine, but it cannot last. Across the generations, we see the Milton myth slowly unravel. In 1959, two strangers enter their circle, forcing each member to question what their family stands for. Then by the 21st century, the money has run dry, the island is up for sale, and their granddaughter is about to uncover disturbing evidence about her family's wealth. Epic and sweeping, The Guest Book is a family saga that explores privilege and racism in America, and how choices made in the past can be felt in the present. 'Thought-provoking and propulsive...Welcome to old money, new heartbreak and big secrets' New York Times Book Review

Charmed Thirds
The third book in Megan McCafferty's beloved, New York Times bestselling series--now with a new foreword by Rebecca Serle. Life finally seems to be going right for Jessica Darling. She escaped the New Jersey suburbs and attends Columbia University in New York City. She's more into her boyfriend, Marcus Flutie, than ever—even if he's at a college across the country in California. And she's making new friends who can't quite compete with her beloved bestie, Hope, but at least come close. If Jessica thought high school was hard, college brings a whole new set of challenges. She snagged an internship at a Brooklyn literary magazine, but will she ever fit in with the snarky staff? Can she even make it to graduation after her parents cut her off financially? And will her long distance relationship survive the pursuit by three new—and radically different—love interests? With the signature wit, cynicism and candor the series is famous for, Charmed Thirds takes readers on an unforgettable journey through Jessica Darling's hilariously complicated college years.
The Label
From Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday to Janice Joplin and Michael Jackson, Columbia Records has discovered and nurtured a mind-boggling spectrum of talents and temperaments over the past 100-plus years. Now, with unprecedented access to the company's archives, this book tells the stories behind the groundbreaking music. More often than not, the music was not just created by the artists themselves but forged out of conflict with the men and women who handled them--executives, producers, Artists and Repertoire men, arrangers, recording engineers, and, yes, even publicists. And at almost every narrative crossroads is an undercurrent of racial tension--a tension that not only influenced twentieth-century music, but also mirrored and at times prompted major changes in American culture.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
Chicago Soul
Pruter, the rhythm and blues editor for Goldmine magazine, examines the rise and fall of commercial R and B or soul music in Chicago during the 1960s and 1970s. He discusses the various record companies and performers who made Chicago one of the centers of black music in the country. Starting with the larger companies, including Vee Jay, Okeh, and Chess, Pruter proceeds to cover scores of smaller labels, many short-lived, such as Formal, Nike, Crash, and Penny. He also discusses performers, from Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield to the most obscure. Along the way, he compares soft to hard soul, and notes the importance of dance. ISBN 0-252-01676-9: $39.95.
