In 1924, four-year-old Cecily Larson's mother reluctantly drops her off at an orphanage in Chicago, promising to be back once she's made enough money to support both Cecily and herself. But she never returns, and shortly after high-spirited Cecily turns seven, she is sold to a traveling circus to perform as the "little sister" to glamorous bareback rider Isabelle DuMonde. With Isabelle and the rest of the circus, Cecily finally feels she's found the family she craves. But as the years go by, the cracks in her little world begin to show. And when teenage Cecily meets and falls in love with a young roustabout named Lucky, she finds her life thrown onto an entirely unexpected-and dangerous-course.

But when her family decides to surprise her with an at-home DNA test, the unexpected results not only bring to light the tragic love story that Cecily has kept hidden for decades but also throw into question everything about the family she's raised and claimed as her own for nearly seventy years. Cecily and everyone in her life must now decide who they really are and what family-and forgiveness-really mean. Sweeping through a long period of contemporary history, The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson is an immersive, compelling, and entertaining family drama centered around one remarkable woman and her determination to survive.

New York Times BestsellerIf life were a house, then every room holds a story.

When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life--jobs, relationships, communities, life stages--knowing how and when it's time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman offers guidance to help us recognize when it's time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow.How to Walk Into a Room helps us begin to uncover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows for anyone asking questions like: How do I know if it's time to move on?

For anyone standing in a threshold, here's a book to help discern the how, when, and what now of walking out of rooms and into new ones with peace, confidence, and a whole heart.

From the author of The Social Leap comes this thought-provoking exploration into humans' two core evolutionary needs, for connection and autonomy, how the modern world has thrown them out of whack, and how we can rebalance them to improve our lives. Why do people who have so much-leading comfortable lives filled with unprecedented freedom, choice, and abundance-often feel so unhappy and unfulfilled? This phenomenon is a defining paradox of our time and one we endlessly seek to solve. In The Social Paradox, psychologist William von Hippel argues that we need to think about this problem in a new way. By changing our perspective, we might finally see the solution, bringing us greater happiness and more satisfying relationships. The key is to understand the interplay between our two most basic psychological needs-for connection and autonomy. Evolution made us dependent on one another for survival, instilling in us a strong need to connect. It also made us seek autonomy, so our ancestors could distinguish themselves within their groups, improving their chances to procreate and gain status. These two opposing needs are our most fundamental psychological drivers, and while our lives once ensured a happy balance between them, the opportunities of today's world have thrown it out of whack. As von Hippel explains, our modern world no longer demands connection but it provides endless opportunity for autonomy; this lopsidedness lies at the root of many of our most intractable problems. Recognizing this imbalance and working to counter it can drastically change how we make decisions, spend our time, and find happiness. The Social Paradox invites us to examine the fundamental building blocks of life and society-politics, religion, urban living, marriage-in a brand-new way. Once we understand the evolutionary forces driving us, we can begin to see how to counteract the emptiness and loneliness of contemporary life.

Fox News contributor Steve Hilton says California's politicians have a plan to make your town more like San Francisco. From exorbitant living costs and failing public schools, to rampant crime and a staggering homelessness epidemic, California's once-enviable quality of life has unraveled into chaos and neglect. In Califailure, Fox News personality and California resident Steve Hilton presents a compelling and eye-opening exploration of California's dramatic decline from a once-thriving, aspirational state to a cautionary tale of failed governance and unchecked political power.For over a century, California was the epitome of opportunity and prosperity, attracting millions with its promise of good jobs, affordable homes, top-tier education, breathtaking landscapes, and idyllic weather. However, a seismic shift has occurred, and the Golden State is no longer a beacon of hope. Hilton fearlessly exposes how California's political elite have prioritized divisive identity politics over effective governance, squandering taxpayer resources on fringe agendas while essential services crumble. As a result, California serves as a dire warning to the rest of the nation, as the state's regressive policies and mismanagement have far-reaching implications beyond its borders. Califailure is what you get when Democrats get everything they want, he argues.With incisive analysis and unflinching critique, Califailure unveils the consequences of one-party rule and the unchecked pursuit of extreme leftist policies. Hilton's powerful narrative underscores how California's descent is a cautionary tale that demands attention and action from all Americans, as the trends originating in California invariably reverberate across the entire nation.
