Two Brothers, One Vision

Ford Nation

The story of how heart and determination created one of hockey’s greatest legendsJohnny Bower came to be known as one of the greatest Toronto Maple Leafs of all time, but he started from humble beginnings. He taught himself how to play hockey on the frozen rivers of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, using a tree branch his father had sharpened into a stick and a cut-up old mattress for goalie pads. He’d spend hours in the frigid air, learning to catch the puck in mittened hands, never dreaming that he would one day share the same ice as his Saturday-night idols.But share it he did, playing in the minors for more than a decade before joining the Maple Leafs for the team’s storied four Stanley Cup victories in the ’60s. He was known as a tough, ageless player who wanted nothing more than to be in the crease, night after night. He spent 11 seasons with the Leafs, playing well into his 40s, although many believed he was older. After Bower’s retirement, his legend only grew—he became one of the most beloved Leafs alumni, an icon for his performance on the ice and his generous heart off it. In Bower, bestselling author Dan Robson shares the never-before-told stories of Johnny’s life and career, drawing on extensive interviews with his wife, Nancy, and his immediate family, close teammates like Leafs greats George Armstrong and Bob Baun, and the friends who knew and loved him best.

?Beautiful and heartrending. . . .

Like Allende's first novel, The House of the Spirits, this powerful memoir is infused with the real, the magical, and the spiritual, creating a haunting, sad, and beautiful tale.

A nostalgic look back at childhood and the simple values that made America greatIn a world of helicopter parents, overscheduled children, hamstrung teachers, and entitled teenagers, one sometimes wonders if imagination, determination, dedication, and good old respect have gone the way of the dinosaur. In Mean Dads for a Better America, comedian and Fox News contributor Tom Shillue tells tales of his own childhood growing up in a large Irish Catholic family in suburban Massachusetts in the 1970s, and uses them to show how simple American values—love of God, Country, and Family—influenced the person he is and kept him grounded.With charming, honest stories about his family and his road to adulthood, Tom Shillue takes a unique approach to addressing many of the issues that confound American parents today—our permissive culture, political correctness, overzealous parenting, and the dominance of technology over good old-fashioned outdoor play. Mean Dads for a Better America illuminates the essential virtues of a simpler time while also reminding us that it’s important to laugh while we work out where we are headed.

The Generous Rewards of an Old-Fashioned Childhood

Mean Dads for a Better America

Raised with immense financial privilege but under the control of her male relatives?including her high-profile politician father?she endured an abusive childhood in which oppression and deceit were the norm.Moving from Rahaf's early days on the underground online network of Saudi runaways, who use coded entries to learn how to flee the brutalities of their homeland, to her solo escape to Canada, Rebel is a breathtaking and life-affirming memoir about one woman's tenacious pursuit of freedom.

In the tradition of Elie Wiesel’s Night and Primo Levi’s Survival in AuschwitzIn the spring of 1944, gendarmes forcibly removed Tibor “Max” Eisen and his family from their home, brought them to a brickyard, and eventually loaded them onto crowded cattle cars bound for Auschwitz-Birkenau. At fifteen years of age, Eisen survived the selection process and was inducted into the camp as a slave labourer.More than seventy years after the Nazi camps were liberated by the Allies, By Chance Alone details Eisen’s story of survival: the back-breaking slave labour in Auschwitz I, the infamous “death march” in January 1945, the painful aftermath of liberation, and Eisen’s journey of physical and psychological healing. Ultimately, the book offers a message of hope as the author finds his way to a new life in Canada.

Nearly Normal

La historia conmovedora de un joven y su escape angustiante de una cruenta guerra civil en Yemen gracias a un plan urdido en las redes sociales por un pequeño grupo interconfesional de activistas del Oeste. Mohammed Al Samawi era un musulmán devoto que consideraba a los cristianos y los judíos como el enemigo. Pero después de leer una Biblia y conectarse con judíos y cristianos en las redes sociales, Mohammed se convierte en activista, con la misión de promover el diálogo y la cooperación en Yemen. Y entonces llegan las amenazas de muerte: primero por medio de Facebook y luego por llamadas telefónicas anónimas. Para proteger a su familia y a sí mismo, Mohammed huye al sur, a la ciudad portuaria de Adén. No podría saber que Adén estaba por convertirse en el corazón de la guerra civil entre el norte y el sur, el campo de batalla para una guerra subsidiaria financiada por terceros: Irán y Arabia Saudita. Al estallar los tiroteos y detonar las granadas a lo largo de la ciudad, Mohammed se esconde en el baño de su departamento y desesperadamente clama a sus contactos de Facebook. Por milagro, responde un puñado de personas que apenas conoce. Durante trece días, cuatro jóvenes comunes y corrientes, con nada de experiencia en absoluto en lo que se refiere a la diplomacia o estrategia militar, utilizan seis plataformas de tecnología y trabajan a través de diez husos horarios para rescatar a ese joven inocente atrapado entre fuerzas mortales.

The never-before-told story of the man behind the maskCurtis Joseph, known affectionately to hockey fans around the world as Cujo, was an unlikely NHL superstar. The boy from Sharon, Ontario, didn’t lace up a pair of skates until most kids his age were already far along in organized hockey, and he was passed over by every team in the NHL draft. Despite an improbable start, he would go on to play nineteen seasons with the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes and Calgary Flames. He is ranked among the all-time greats: third in playoff shutouts, fifth in regular season wins and a winner of Olympic gold, a World Championship and a World Cup. And off the ice, he has always been giving, stepping up for kids and earning the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for his philanthropy work with sick children.But behind his big smile and kind heart, Curtis hid a painful past. He grew up essentially alone as a young boy in a home for mentally ill men, some of them dangerous. He had no idea who his real parents were. He didn’t even know his last name. Curtis made his own meals, borrowed clothing, found his own way to school and tried hockey only by chance, in borrowed, beat-up equipment.Despite his shocking and difficult upbringing, Curtis developed an inspiring philosophy of life, looking at the world as a glass half full. In this funny and revealing memoir, fans will finally get to know the man behind the mask. Written with bestselling author Kirstie McLellan Day, this book surprises and entertains as Curtis shares his untold stories of life on and off the ice.

From the beloved host of NPR's All Things Considered, a stirring memoir-in-essays that is also a lover letter to journalism.In his first book, broadcaster Ari Shapiro takes us around the globe to reveal the stories behind narratives that are sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, but always poignant. He details his time traveling on Air Force One with President Obama, or following the path of Syrian refugees fleeing war, or learning from those fighting for social justice both at home and abroad.As the self-reinforcing bubbles we live in become more impenetrable, Ari Shapiro keeps seeking ways to help people listen to one another; to find connection and commonality with those who may seem different; to remind us that, before religion, or nationality, or politics, we are all human. The Best Strangers in the World is a testament to one journalist's passion for Considering All Things?and sharing what he finds with the rest of us.
