After prominent roles in Clueless and Beverly Hills 90210, Elisa’s career was on the fast track. Until her show was unexpectedly cancelled, her relationship ended, and her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Wake Me When You Leave chronicles Elisa’s journey out of despair and heartbreak and will inspire those who are learning to let go after a loss so they can live again with authenticity, humor, and hope.
From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All Over but the Shoutin’, The Speckled Beauty is the warm hearted and hilarious story of how Rick Bragg’s life was transformed by his love for a poorly behaved, half-blind stray dog.
Competing with Idiots is a fascinating, complex dual biography of Hollywood’s most dazzling—and famous—brothers, and a dark, riveting portrait of competition, love, and enmity that ultimately undid them both.
