Allende Isabel: Story Telling

Story Telling

A Masterclass in Crafting Stories

When life crumbles, don’t quit—bake a better batch! What if every failure was just the preheat before your greatest comeback? In Bake It Til You Make It, powerhouse entrepreneur Molly Blakeley serves up a wildly inspiring, laugh-out-loud, no-filter story about turning life’s messiest moments into the ultimate recipe for success: resilience, grit, and a dash of faith. Molly’s journey is anything but cookie-cutter. From owning an Alaskan lodge and running restaurants to managing flower shops, roller derby, and launching dress boutiques—her twenties and thirties were a whirlwind of big dreams, epic crashes, and fierce comebacks. Every venture—whether it soared or sank—taught her one thing: you can’t lose if you never stop rising. Then came the cookies. One late night after a business deal gone wrong. Molly was down to her last $150 in a rural Alaska town. Molly’s spark turned into a full-blown flavor revolution. Bourbon. Bacon. Amaretto cherries. Molly Bz cookies exploded from her kitchen to QVC, Costco, Walmart, and Target—with just pure hustle, heart, and holy determination. In this bold, hilarious, and brutally honest book, Molly shows you how to turn your setbacks into setups for your biggest wins. You’ll learn how to: <ul> <li>Flip rejection into rocket fuel</li> <li>Use chaos as your creativity gym</li> <li>Turn wild ideas into can’t-resist brands</li> <li>Keep the faith when all you’ve got left is grit</li> </ul> Part business playbook, part comeback story, and 100% inspiration, Bake It Til You Make It is your reminder that the sweetest victories rise from the messiest beginnings. So grab your apron (and your dreams), because it’s time to bake something amazing—starting with you.

The Story of a Risk-Taking Cookie Queen

Bake It 'Til You Make It

“Such a cute baby, where did you get her?”
“This is such a good thing you are doing.”
“My friends were lucky, they got a white baby.”
Born in Germany in the 1960s to war-traumatized&nbsp;parents, Martina Dahlmanns&nbsp;grew up in middle class suburbia, surrounded by loaded silences and unacknowledged prejudice. But she believes she’s left those prejudices behind when, in her thirties, she moves to South Africa and becomes the adoptive mother of three black children.
Unable to answer increasingly difficult questions from her eldest, Lele, Martina turns to a community dialogue group. There, she meets Tumi Jonas-Mpofu, a young black woman from Gugulethu, whose friendship will define Martina’s life and force her to reckon with the enduring impact of her privilege.
This timely and deeply personal memoir is a celebration of chosen family—but beyond that, it is an acute examination of the legacy of racism in adoption.

A Person My Colour

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendor of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

Very Short Introductions

Best known as the author of Moby-Dick (1851), Herman Melville is one of America's greatest writers. His achievements range from popular novels and experimental fiction to powerful poetry. His works are tragic and funny, impassioned and ironic, obsessed with philosophical seeking and attuned to the details of everyday life. Melville engaged the pressing issues of his day, from economic inequality and the American slavery crisis to the rise of science and the fragility of democracy. He dwelled on timeless questions about loneliness and intimacy, moral and political responsibility, the limits of our knowledge and agency, and the place of human beings within nature and the cosmos. Melville's life was dramatic, and his career improbable. He was born into privilege, fell into poverty as an adolescent, hunted whales and lived with the Tai Pi people of Polynesia, served in the United States Navy, skyrocketed to fame as a novelist, ruined his career by challenging religious, political, sexual, and artistic conventions, reinvented himself as a poet, and died in relative obscurity just as readers began to appreciate his genius. The scope and diversity of Melville's literature reflects an artist of restless ambition. Herman Melville: A Very Short Introduction helps readers explore the richness of his work.

Chasing Hollywood is not just a marketing book. It is a memoir wrapped in the cultural phenomenon of films that have shaped our lives.Learn timeless lessons about the remarkable hard work and genius artistry that went into the creation and promotion of movies we love. Films that served as must-see moments for the last two generations. The pop-culture infiltrators that have marked our years and shaped our shared memories, giving us the stars, catch-phrases and bold ideas that people still talk about--whether we're growing up, growing old, looking inward, or coming out.Sometimes audiences don't know what they want, simply because they haven't seen it before--in part because of the massive blockades created by corporate ownership and mainstream media saturation from big-dollar marketing campaigns, constructed by the powers that be in order to keep outsiders and little guys down and out.These powers still exist in the film world, and the social media world, and the book world, too, just as they exist in almost every industry today, when even the most well-funded marketing departments struggle to break through the unstoppable wall of noise created by the overflow of information and content that floods consumers' feeds and screens every second of every day.But guess what?Blockades are still breakable, and even the tallest walls are surmountable. We just need to take an indie-film approach to breaking through.

The Good Stuff Doesn't Break

One hundred years. Four wars. A singular devotion to the sky.

Raised on a New York farm during the Great Depression, Charles Cone transformed a childhood dream into a century of service.

But the story doesn't end in the clouds. This memoir captures the daily friction of military life and the quiet endurance of a family waiting on the ground. Told with technical clarity and deep restraint, Burning Desire to Fly is a firsthand record of what it means to answer a lifelong calling-and the discipline required to stay airborne.
