âTennessee Williams's mordantly funny and deeply troubled
meditation on the desperate dismay of ageing and the iniquities of
racial bigotry.â INDEPENDENT âItâs a wonderfully weird play,
starting claustrophobic, losing intensity as it introduces the
locals⌠then regrouping for a devastating second half⌠This
unruly, unforgettable play takes its unpredictable course to
something that makes you feel afresh our powerlessness against
time.â THE TIMES When Chance Wayne left the small town of St.
Cloud, he did so with the ambition of being an actor: now, many
years later, he returns as a gigolo and the companion of faded
movie star Alexandra del Lago. But can Chance convince the town he
did actually make it big and win over his childhood sweetheart? Or
will the mistakes of his past punish him still? Sweet Bird of Youth
is Tennessee Williams's 1959 Broadway hit that explores the social
and political climate of 1950s America, at a time when sexual
freedom was a critical issue. This edition includes an introduction
by Alison Walls that explores the play's production history as well
as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround it.

"Glorious...a masterwork." --The Washington Post *"Propulsive."
--Associated Press * "Wild, smart, energetic." --Los Angeles Times
* "Brilliant and effervescent." --NPR From the #1 bestselling
author of The Glass Castle, the instant New York Times bestseller a
"rip-roaring, action-packed" (The New York Times) novel about an
indomitable young woman in prohibition-era Virginia. Sallie Kincaid
is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town, the charismatic
Duke Kincaid. Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of
comfort and privilege, Sallie remembers little about her mother who
died in a violent argument with the Duke. By the time she is just
eight years old, the Duke has remarried and had a son, Eddie. While
Sallie is her father's daughter, sharp-witted and resourceful,
Eddie is his mother's son, timid and cerebral. When Sallie tries to
teach young Eddie to be more like their father, her daredevil
coaching leads to an accident, and Sallie is cast out. Nine years
later, she returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family.
That's a lot more complicated than Sallie expected, and she enters
a world of conflict and lawlessness. Sallie confronts the secrets
and scandals that hide in the shadows of the Big House, navigates
the factions in the family and town, and finally comes into her own
as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger. "You'll fall in love with
Sallie on the very first page and keep rooting for her all the way
through to the last" (Good Housekeeping) in this thrilling read
that "goes down easy...like the forbidden whisky that defines the
life of Sallie Kincaid" (Associated Press).

"Those old cows knew trouble was coming before we did." So begins
the story of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls's no-nonsense,
resourceful, and spectacularly compelling grandmother. By age six,
Lily was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home
to teach in a frontier town--riding five hundred miles on her pony,
alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a
plane. And, with her husband, Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona.
She raised two children, one who is Jeannette's memorable mother,
Rosemary Smith Walls, unforgettably portrayed in The Glass Castle.
Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression,
and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. She bristled at
prejudice of all kinds--against women, Native Americans, and anyone
else who didn't fit the mold. Rosemary Smith Walls always told
Jeannette that she was like her grandmother, and in this true-life
novel, Jeannette Walls channels that kindred spirit. Half Broke
Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults, as riveting and dramatic
as Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa or Beryl Markham's West with the
Night. Destined to become a classic, it will transfix readers
everywhere.
Suicide is the nation's tenth leading cause of death, and in 2018
nearly 50,000 people in the US died by suicide, with thousands more
attempting to take their own lives. Countless others experience
suicidal ideation due to depression, anxiety, addiction, and more,
living for years in silent misery. The sad truth is that someone
you know may be suffering. With great compassion and clear,
actionable strategies, So Much to Live For shows you what to do,
what to say, and how to intervene if you suspect a friend or loved
one is considering suicide. You'll learn the signs and symptoms,
understand the causes, and build the courage to step up and speak
out. God heals wounds and repairs brokenness, and he often does it
using people like you. You can be instrumental in saving the life
of a suicidal person you know. This book shows you how.
