A Madness Ago
"A Madness Ago" by Dana Thomas Clancy is a poignant and introspective memoir that traces the author's tumultuous journey from his early childhood to his young adult years. Born in 1948, the narrative opens with the author's recollections of his idyllic early years spent on the grounds of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Northampton, Massachusetts. These formative years were marked by innocence, mischief, and a sense of freedom as he explored the fairgrounds, encountered wild cats, picked strawberries, and uncovered the secrets within the hospital's walls. The author paints a vivid picture of his childhood friends, including Twiggy and Maura O'Leary, who introduced him to both the beauty and darkness of the world. Twiggy's complex relationship with the author left a lasting impact, blurring the lines between childhood innocence and unsettling experiences.

A Hat for Two Heads
Faith LeBlanc resembles a modern Alice In Wonderland when she follows a thief from her New Orleans home. If Faith is a jaded Alice, then the thief is a dysfunctional Robin Hood and upon shadowing him under the cover of live oaks, she trips down a rabbit hole of mystery, voodoo, and boats. Suddenly, no one is who they seem. As this Louisiana senator’s daughter battles emotional scars delivered by a mother missing from her childhood and a father more interested in power and polls than family, her journey bestows distance from anxieties while leading to new perspectives and redemption from manipulations. When seeds of love, even from unlikely sources, are planted in barren fields, strength blooms.

The Tallest Timbers
Is the simple life that simple? Lacey Williams is a driven and disciplined Annapolis real estate agent who has worked tirelessly creating a successful life from scratch. It is a life she has become disenchanted with. Yearning for a simpler way of life, she follows her heart and less-practical intuitions for the first time to seek out her version of a fulfilling life. There is no turning back once she sells her home, walks away from her career and moves to a rustic cabin in upstate New York. Eerie nights in the mountains, modest living quarters, harsh winters, and repeated sightings of an apparition in the woods become the least of her concerns when a river guide with a past crosses her path. Things are not always what they seem, however, and her strength and independent spirit fosters a new drive. Lacey Williams is focused more than ever on discovering her true self while carving out the life she was meant to live.

Gods and Kings
The New York Times-bestselling author of Deluxe and Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fasion and the Future of Clothes chronicles the making and unmaking of two of the greatest fashion designers of our time In the mid-1990s, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen exploded onto a fashion scene that was in an artistic and economic rut. Their daring visions shook the establishment out of its bourgeois, minimalist stupor with vibrant, sexy designs and theatrical runway shows. By the end of the decade, each had been hired to run one of couture's most storied houses, Galliano at Dior and McQueen at Givenchy. They were icons of a new generation of rock-star designers who headlined the transformation of luxury fashion from a small clutch of family-owned businesses into a global, multibillion-dollar corporate industry. But the pace was unsustainable. In 2010, McQueen took his own life. A year later, Galliano was fired in the wake of an alcohol-fueled, anti-Semitic diatribe. In her groundbreaking work Gods and Kings, acclaimed fashion journalist Dana Thomas tells the true story of two unforgettable artists. In so doing, she pulls back the curtain on the revolution that has remade high fashion over the last two decades-and the price it demanded from the very ones who saved it.

Deluxe
From the author of Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes - Once luxury was available only to the rarefied and aristocratic world of old money and royalty. It offered a history of tradition, superior quality, and a pampered buying experience. Today, however, luxury is simply a product packaged and sold by multibillion-dollar global corporations focused on growth, visibility, brand awareness, advertising, and, above all, profits. Award-winning journalist Dana Thomas digs deep into the dark side of the luxury industry to uncover all the secrets that Prada, Gucci, and Burberry don?t want us to know. Deluxe is an uncompromising look behind the glossy façade that will enthrall anyone interested in fashion, finance, or culture.
