Over the Influence - A Memoir (Paperback): Joanna Levesque Over the Influence - A Memoir (Paperback)
Joanna Levesque
R488 Discovery Miles 4 880 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A breathtakingly candid memoir by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, the chart-topping, multi-platinum recording artist behind hits like 'Leave (Get Out),' 'Too Little, Too Late', and the Grammy Award-winning 'Say So'.

Signed to a major recording deal at just twelve years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000's. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?

In Over the Influence, JoJo holds nothing back as she brings her against-the-odds story of adversity and triumph to center stage. From being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression, to emerging victorious in a never-ending lawsuit with her record label, to putting the fragmented pieces of herself together after a maddening period of rebellion and self-betrayal, she takes the reader through the turbulent years that led her to where she is now: releasing new music under her own imprint, performing in shows and festivals around the world, headlining a Broadway show, and beyond. In this raw, behind-the-scenes look at her life, both personal and professional, JoJo’s unflinching vulnerability allows readers to connect with her on a whole new level through stories of success, heartbreak, redemption, and resilience.

More than a victory lap from an artist with over two decades in an ever-changing entertainment industry, Over the Influence is an unapologetic rallying cry to anyone who’s ever been terrified to fail and still said, 'Count me in.'

Brief Hours And Weeks - My Life As A Capetonian (Hardcover): Emanuel Derman Brief Hours And Weeks - My Life As A Capetonian (Hardcover)
Emanuel Derman
R874 R752 Discovery Miles 7 520 Save R122 (14%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Brief Hours and Weeks is the author's account of growing up in a small, tightly knit, first-generation Polish-Jewish community in Cape Town in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

Observing through at first naive and then later more sophisticated eyes, he describes his childhood and youth in a protective off-the-boat immigrant Jewish family in very British-Commonwealth South Africa as apartheid becomes increasingly coercive.

Through vivid and candid personal stories, he brings to life a time, place, culture, people, and set of mores that no longer exist. At 21, he leaves Africa to study in America.

Shades Of Difference - Mac Maharaj And The Struggle For South Africa (Paperback): Padraig O'Malley Shades Of Difference - Mac Maharaj And The Struggle For South Africa (Paperback)
Padraig O'Malley; Foreword by Nelson Mandela
R380 R309 Discovery Miles 3 090 Save R71 (19%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Mac Maharaj played a pivotal role in the liberation movement for nearly four decades, suffering brutal tortures and twelve years’ imprisonment on Robben Island with Nelson Mandela.

It was Maharaj who smuggled out the manuscript of Mandela’s autobiography and later re-entered South Africa to establish a political and military underground on a mission so secret that only those at the highest levels were even aware of its existence.

Drawing from extensive interviews with Maharaj over eleven years and hitherto unavailable documents, Padraig O’Malley vividly renders a true tale of heroism and a gripping insider’s look at the struggle for freedom in South Africa.
