Tirado V: You Should Have Been Nicer to
My Mom

You Should Have Been Nicer to My Mom

A Modern Gothic Horror

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

HarperCollins American Classics

New York Times Bestseller • An Oprah Book Club Pick“Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book ReviewIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. The Poisonwood Bible established Barbara Kingsolver, recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa.The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil.The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself.Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility. <ul><li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li><li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children’s books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li><li>AMERICA’S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters. Our books enrich, challenge, and defined the American spirit.</li><li>AMERICA 250: The HarperCollins American Classics arrive in time for America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.</li></ul>

A Novel

The Poisonwood Bible American Classics Edition

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK“Enchantingly sinister. . . a Gothic thriller, with a frisson of magic.” —Jennifer Harlan, The New York Times Book Review“An extraordinary book. It’s a page-turner, full of mystery, but that’s the least of it. The language is dusted with magic. The Children reminded me of Ray Bradbury at his best.” —Stephen KingThe haunting new novel from New York Times bestselling author Melissa Albert, in which the estranged adult children of a legendary author, written into their dead mother’s beloved fantasy series, must contend with the vine-like creep of legacy, memory, and magic.Guinevere Sharpe has two childhoods.In one, she and her brother, Ennis, live in the wooded shadow of their family's isolated Vermont farmhouse; in the other, the pages of their mother’s world-famous Ninth City books, where their magical adventures have made them household names. In reality, Guinevere's childhood isn't the enchanted idyll her mother’s readers imagine: she and Ennis are growing up near-feral, unwashed and underfed, escaping each day to the wild woods they’ve made their playland. As Edith Sharpe’s books explode into epic popularity, the threats of a rural childhood give way to the escalating perils of fame—until the night it all goes up in flames, leaving Edith’s series unfinished and her children the sole survivors.Now an adult coasting on her mother's name, Guinevere is mid-promotion for a ghostwritten memoir when her estranged brother, an artist who has until now spurned his family's legacy, announces an upcoming installation titled, simply, Mother. As rumors swirl around a death connected to his last show, unsettling recollections from Guinevere’s childhood begin to surface. Her public facade starts to crack, forcing her to confront the questions she's spent the last twenty years running from: What really happened the night of the fire? And what dark history lies behind their mother’s fantasy world?The Children is wise to the mythic weight childhood memories gather over time, and the way our most beloved stories grow up with us. It's for anyone who's ever revisited an old favorite and found its pages cast in a darker light, the line separating magic from reality blurring as we discover the books that once comforted us carry shadows of their own.

The Children

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.

The Shadow Friends

Um den Erwartungen seiner Eltern zu entgehen, zog der Barbesitzer Seamus Devlin mit nur 18 Jahren quer durchs Land. Jetzt, fast zwei Jahrzehnte später, ist er sicher, all seine Ziele erreicht zu haben: Er lebt in einer tollen Kleinstadt, hat großartige Freunde und - für ihn von höchster Priorität - er ist Single. Dass er daran nichts ändern möchte, gefällt seiner Familie gar nicht. Auch tausend Kilometer Entfernung können sie nicht davon abhalten, ihn mit Heiratsvorschlägen zu bedrängen, weil sie davon überzeugt sind, dass Seamus ohne Ehepartner nicht glücklich werden kann.
 
DJ Johnston findet keine Ruhe. Weder mental noch physisch. Zwischen seinen drei Jobs, den Geldschulden seiner Familie und seinem einzigen lebenden Verwandten, der auf der anderen Seite des Landes wohnt, kann er nur auf sich selbst vertrauen. Trotz dieser Umstände behält er eine positive Einstellung, da er durch lebenslange Erfahrung weiß, dass die einzige Möglichkeit, harten Zeiten zu trotzen, darin liegt, sich durchzukämpfen.
 
Als Seamus' Versuch, die Drängereien seiner Eltern zu vermeiden, nach hinten los geht und zu DJ führt, muss er eine Entscheidung treffen. Entweder er enttäuscht seine besorgte Familie oder er stimmt der einen Sache zu, gegen die er sich seit seiner Kindheit wehrt, und geht eine arrangierte Ehe ein.

Small Comfort

Der unbestreitbar talentierte Eiskunstläufer Matty Marcus ist willens, alles für seinen olympischen Traum zu opfern, aber sein Mangel an Disziplin hat ihn schon einmal Gold gekostet. Jetzt steht er unter Druck. Er braucht einen Trainer, der ihn bei der Stange halten kann, aber gute Trainer sind nicht billig und Matty kann es sich nicht leisten, im Spiel zu bleiben, ganz egal, wie unbedingt er gewinnen will. 
Als ein lukrativer Job als Housesitter ihn ins ländliche Montana führt, tut Matty sein Bestes, um seinen Trainingsplan aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Ortsansässigen sind überraschend tolerant, was seinen exzentrischen Stil betrifft. Vor allem der gutaussehende junge Rancher Rob Lovely, der sehr viel mehr als ein typischer Cowboy ist. So wie Matty eine starke Hand braucht, damit er auf dem Eis sein Bestes gibt, zeigt Rob ihm, wie stark er sein kann, wenn er im Bett die Kontrolle aufgibt. Mit neugefundenem Selbstbewusstsein trainiert er noch härter, um an die Spitze zu kommen. Aber der Wettkampf läuft nach einem Zeitplan und um seinen olympischen Traum zu verwirklichen, muss Matty zu seinem neuen Trainer nach New York City gehen und Rob zurücklassen. Jetzt sieht er sich dem ultimativen Test gegenüber. Hat er während seiner Trainingssaison wirklich gelernt, wie man gewinnt - auf dem Eis und im Leben?
