Hill K: She Read to Us in theLate
Afternoons

She Read to Us in theLate Afternoons

A Life in Novels

The Real Housewives of New York City star, fashion-industry pioneer, entrepreneur, and mom Leah McSweeney breaks through the chaos of battling addiction, igniting the streetwear world, and disrupting reality television?all while being unapologetically, unrelentingly herself.If there's one thing Leah McSweeney knows for sure, it's that life never quite gives you what you expect. Her road to success as an entrepreneur and Real Housewives breakout star has been paved with unexpected chances, soul-crushing challenges, and, for too long, chaos. Now Leah shares her unique philosophy of Chaos Theory and how key moments in our lives can lead us to paths we never imagined. With unparalleled grit, resilience, and a take-no-prisoners attitude, Leah shares her story of finding her way by pushing back against the conventions of society, against the status quo of the fashion industry, and against the limitations of her own self-worth to create a wild, unconventional, and beautiful life. From her years spent partying in the drug-fueled New York City club scene to getting sober, having a baby, and investing the settlement money from an NYPD assault to launch her business--Leah has learned to throw a punch and keep her fists up. In Chaos Theory, her raw, candid storytelling offers inspiration and insight for embracing life's unexpected turns and finding meaning in the chaos.

Finding Meaning in the Madness, One Bad Decision at a Time

Chaos Theory

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.

A Remarkable True Story of Courage and Survival at Auschwitz

By Chance Alone

An exuberant biography of the life of the iconic photographer and naturalist Peter Beard, whose life and work captured the cultural imagination Peter Beard lived an astonishing life. The artist, wildlife photographer, and bon vivant enthralled and inspired both because of his work and his legendary lifestyle. A scion of American industry turned explorer of Africa and environmental advocate, Beard embodied the extremes of his time: grand adventurer and sexually voracious partier, friend of everyone from the Rolling Stones to Jackie Onassis to Andy Warhol to Karen Blixen. And Beard had a passion?probably more like an obsession?with the faults of the entire human experiment, with the ways in which our consumption of the world's resources have come to consume us all. Beard's outsize life and character?his death-defying documentation of both the endangered wildlife of Africa, and, closer to home, some of the world's most beautiful women for a range of fashion magazines?animate this lively but authoritative biography. The journalist Christopher Wallace, long fascinated by Beard's artistic legacy, adventurous spirit, and hard-partying persona, came to know him well later in Beard's life. Capturing the varied social and cultural scenes that Beard moved through with glamorous ease over five decades, Wallace also makes a powerful case for the lasting impact of his work. In Twentieth-Century Man, Wallace has rendered this towering figure in all of his contradictions and complexities?a deeply romantic and idiosyncratic personality, beloved by so many, whose sensibilities nonetheless remained firmly rooted in an era characterized by racist and colonialist attitudes. Stirring and visceral, Twentieth-Century Man is the definitive portrait of Peter Beard.

The Wild Life of Peter Beard

Twentieth-Century Man

The New York Times bestselling author of Fifth Avenue, Five A.M. and The Big Goodbye returns with the definitive account of Academy Award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long dream to reinvent American filmmaking, if not the entire world, through his production company American Zoetrope. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the great American dreamers, and his most magnificent dream is American Zoetrope, the production company he founded in San Francisco years before his gargantuan success, when he was only thirty. Through Zoetrope's experimental, communal utopia, Coppola attempted to reimagine the entire pursuit of moviemaking. Now, more than fifty years later, despite myriad setbacks, the visionary filmmaker's dream persists, most notably in the production of his decades in the making film and the culmination of his utopian ideals, Megalopolis. Granted total and unprecedented access to Coppola's archives, conducting hundreds of interviews with the artist and those who have worked closely with him, Sam Wasson weaves together an extraordinary portrait. Here is Coppola, charming, brilliant, given to seeing life and art in terms of family and community, but also plagued by restlessness, recklessness and a desire to operate perpetually at the extremes. As Wasson makes clear, the story of Zoetrope is also the story of Coppola's wife, Eleanor Coppola, and their children, and of personal lives inseparable from artistic passion. It is a story that charts the divergent paths of Coppola and his co-founder and onetime apprentice, George Lucas, and of their very different visions of art and commerce. And it is a story inextricably bound up in the making of one of the greatest, quixotic masterpieces ever attempted, Apocalypse Now, and of what Coppola found in the jungles of the Philippines when he walked the razor's edge. That story, already the stuff of legend, has never been fully told, until this extraordinary book.

The Path to Paradise

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.

Thirty Rules for Living from Ten Extraordinary Americans

Lessons in Liberty

A moving and vivid memoir of a young girl?long before her starring role in the Degrassi series?who was always switching between worlds, wanting only to be lovedWhen Anais Granofsky's parents meet in the early 1970s, they are foreign and fascinating to each other. Stanley is the son of a very wealthy Toronto Jewish family; Jean is one of fifteen children from a poor Black Methodist family, direct descendants of the freed Randolph slaves. When Jean becomes pregnant at nineteen, Stanley doesn't anticipate being cut off by his parents. Nor does the couple anticipate that Stanley, soon to rename himself Fakeer, will find his calling in the spiritual teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh on an ashram in India.The Girl in the Middle is the story of a child who spends her life navigating between two very different worlds. Alone, Anais and her mother teetered on the poverty line, sharing a mattress in a single room in social housing in Toronto, while her grandparents lived a twenty-minute car ride away on the mansion-lined Bridle Path. As Anais grows up, she spends weekends having lunch with her grandmother by the pool, while during the week, she and her mother often don't know where their next meal will come from, even after Fakeer's return. Anais realizes that if she wants to be loved, she has to switch identities to please each of the adult women in her family. It isn't until she gets a role in the TV series Degrassi Junior High that Anais finds a third world?her own?and begins to define an identity for herself. The Girl in the Middle offers a powerful lens to explore how two families, one white and one Black, faced systemic oppression spanning multiple generations and came out at opposite economic classes?and how they clashed when they shared a granddaughter. With compassion and vivid storytelling, Granofsky shares her experience of living in opposite worlds, and demonstrates how generational shame, grief and prejudice ultimately lead to love and forgiveness.

Growing Up Between Black and White, Rich and Poor

The Girl in the Middle

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.

Las memorias de un refugiado acerca de su llegada a América

La caza del zorro

A stunning memoir by Gabriel Byrne, the award-winning star of over eighty films, Walking with Ghosts is an exquisite portrait of an Irish childhood and a remarkable journey to Hollywood and Broadway successAs a young boy growing up on the outskirts of Dublin, Gabriel Byrne sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Born to working-class parents and the eldest of six children, he harboured the desire to become a priest. When he was eleven, Byrne crossed the Irish Sea to join a seminary in England. After being expelled four years later, he quickly returned to his native city. There, he took odd jobs as messenger boy and factory labourer in order to get by. In his spare time he visited the cinema, where he could be alone and yet part of a crowd. It was here that he began to imagine a life beyond the grey world of 1960s Ireland.He revelled in the theatre and poetry of Dublin's streets, populated by characters as eccentric and remarkable as any in fiction. It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between sensual recollections of childhood in a now almost-vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and Broadway, Byrne also courageously recounts his battle with addiction and the ambivalence of fame.Walking with Ghosts is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking as well as a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.

Walking with Ghosts

A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book of the Year A Quill &amp; Quire Book of the Year A CBC Books Nonfiction Book of the Year A Maclean's 20 Books You Need to Read this Winter?An instant classic that demands to be read with your heart open and with a perspective widened to allow in a whole new understanding of family, identity and love.? ?Cherie DimalineIn this bestselling memoir, a son who grew up away from his Indigenous culture takes his Cree father on a trip to the family trapline and finds that revisiting the past not only heals old wounds but creates a new futureThe son of a Cree father and a white mother, David A. Robertson grew up with virtually no awareness of his Indigenous roots. His father, Dulas?or Don, as he became known?lived on the trapline in the bush in Manitoba, only to be transplanted permanently to a house on the reserve, where he couldn't speak his language, Swampy Cree, in school with his friends unless in secret. David's mother, Beverly, grew up in a small Manitoba town that had no Indigenous people until Don arrived as the new United Church minister. They married and had three sons, whom they raised unconnected to their Indigenous history. David grew up without his father's teachings or any knowledge of his early experiences. All he had was ?blood memory?: the pieces of his identity ingrained in the fabric of his DNA, pieces that he has spent a lifetime putting together. It has been the journey of a young man becoming closer to who he is, who his father is and who they are together, culminating in a trip back to the trapline to reclaim their connection to the land. Black Water is a memoir about intergenerational trauma and healing, about connection and about how Don's life informed David's own. Facing up to a story nearly erased by the designs of history, father and son journey together back to the trapline at Black Water and through the past to create a new future.
