It's Whoopi here and I've written this book that, frankly, is the
last book anyone would expect. You would never think of me as
someone with the courage to say, 'You have everything you need to
be fantastic in your own house, apartment, or trailer to set a
great table.' Let's face it, you look at a lot of books on
Entertaining and think 'I could never do this in my house, I don't
have this stuff and it's not going to look like what I'm seeing.'
That's not what's going to happen here! I want to show you there is
great heart in setting the table. For two or four or the kids or
Halloween or tea just for you. For dinners with friends or the
holidays. I'm going to tell you stories about what I do when people
come over and give you ideas about what you're seeing because
Honey, everything in this book is what you can do in your house.
You got a bodega or a 7-Eleven near you? They sell flowers. Take
those bad boys and put them on your table. You got some crazy old
plate from your grandmother (or a fancy silver one)? You got little
kids' toys that have been annoying you forever, put them on the
table too. Who's going to tell you it's wrong? Not me! I'm going to
tell you it's right and I'm going to take you on a journey. And
don't forget the bathroom; decorate it too, people are going to see
it. It's all at your house. Come with me. I'll show you! P.S. I
know the glass on the cover is broken. Accidents happen!'
From multi-award winner Whoopi Goldberg comes a new and unique memoir of her family and their influence on her early life.
If it weren't for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010--and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later--she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone.
Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time. Growing up in the projects in New York City, there were trips to Coney Island, the Ice Capades, and museums, and every Christmas was a magical experience. To this day, she doesn't know how her mother was able to give them such an enriching childhood, despite the struggles they faced--and it wasn't until she was well into adulthood that Whoopi learned just how traumatic some of those struggles were.
Fans of personal memoirs such as Finding Me by Viola Davis and In Pieces by Sally Field will be touched by Bits and Pieces: a moving tribute from a daughter to her mother, and beautiful portrait of three people who loved each other deeply. Whoopi writes, "Not everybody gets to walk this earth with folks who let you be exactly who you are and who give you the confidence to become exactly who you want to be. So, I thought I'd share mine with you."

style it's up to the rest of the Sugar Plum Ballerinas to keep
Epatha's toes in line. Will Epatha listen to her friends or can she
convince the other ballerinas that her way is the best?The sixth
and final book in the Sugar Plum Ballerina series is as full of
fun, mischief, and friendship as ever
HINDSIGHT is one man's remarkably revealing story about sex and
relationships, on the silver screen and in his private life. Howie
Gordon (screen name Richard Pacheco) was an award-winning actor
during The Golden Age of Porn, whose memoir does not duck the
question, "What about love?" With charm, passion, wit, and what may
best be described as a crude elegance, Gordon's story takes us back
to the fabled Baby Boomer era, when erotic films took a dramatic
step closer to mainstream entertainment in America. His memoir
recounts scenes with Marilyn Chambers, Georgina Spelvin, Seka,
Annette Haven, Kay Parker and many others. This was the heyday of
John Holmes, John Leslie, Jamie Gillis and Anthony Spinelli, and
they are all characters in what may prove to be the finest inside
story to ever come out of the fascinating world of Adult Film
during its Golden Age. Ultimately, HINDSIGHT is a surprising love
story: here in a triumph over incredible odds, is an unlikely
victory for true love, common sense, and the American way. Full of
pictures and high spirits - this memoir is a great read, whether
you know the world of porn, or are just a curious reader. "It was
the time of storytelling with an X Rating, and there's no one
better to tell this story than my friend Howie Gordon." - Whoopi
Goldberg "Howie Gordon writes about life as a porn star with more
honesty, integrity and humor than any other porn star, ever You
will laugh, cry, and fall in love. I hope his book gets made into a
movie, because it will be a one-of-a-kind blockbuster." - Annie
Sprinkle, Ph.D. Post Porn Modernist "Mark Twain meets Don Juan-a
delectable fusion of brains and balls " - Dr. Marianna Beck, Ph.D.
The Material Culture of Sex
Have you noticed people aren't as polite as they once were or that
rudeness is no longer an exception but a lifestyle? Sure you have.
All you need to do is set foot outside your door to see that bad
manners are taking over everywhere. Just look and you'll see:
People yak on cell phones in restaurants, and even at church.Folks
in carpools wear enough cologne to make your eyes bleed.Family
outings to the ballpark are ruined by rowdy drunks.People talk in
movie theaters like they are in their living rooms. Well, Whoopi
Goldberg has noticed all this and more and asked herself, "Is it
just me?" Unleashing her trademark irreverence and humor, her book
of observations takes a funny and excruciatingly honest look at how
a loss of civility is messing with the quality of life for all of
us.
