Tales From A Hungry Life: A Memoir with Recipes is the story of a not-so-typical 1970s American family that lived, loved, and ate like there was no tomorrow. Italian and Puerto Rican-and definitely American-they were the Sopranos with a Spanish twist, a whole lot less money, and only their own blood on their hands. Meet the distinctly ethnic families brought together when Lou met Sarita...and six boys and one girl bound them together for good. Visit their tiny brick house in Queens, New York, where rock-n-roll blasted from the basement while spaghetti and meatballs or chicken and rice simmered on the stove. Along the way, you'll encounter the relatives and friends who helped them face hope and despair, love and loss, for better or for worse, with a knife and fork in their hands. This collection of sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant stories goes back to the days when disco was king and rock-n-roll was rebellion, the Dorothy Hamill was the "in" hairstyle, and no self-respecting Italian ate bottled spaghetti sauce. It's filled with a hearty helping of old family recipes and stories that celebrate a time, a place, and a group of people who knew one thing: to eat together was to live.

Good, bad, ugly and illuminating--everyone has an opinion on race. As Biracial people continue trending, the discussion is no longer about a singular topic, but is more like playing a game of multi-level chess. The anthology, Being Biracial: Where Our Secret Worlds Collide, cites the multiracial experiences of twenty-four authors of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world. It blends positivity, negativity, humor, pathos and realism in an enlightening exploration of what it means to be more than one ethnicity. Being Biracial: Educators' Guide now brings the topic to the classroom in a bold examination of race, including considered portraits of current gures from the multiracial community and a section of questions relating directly to the essays within the original book, with ample space for note-taking. Students are encouraged to re-examine these issues in new and thought-provoking ways, giving all aspects of the subject some vital air time at a key point in their academic development.

Do you ever wonder whether some people are just born fabulous, strong, bold and confident? The short answer is no. We're all born with a clean slate onto which our journeys can be recorded, and all of our stories written. While it's true some people have aptitudes and talents not possessed by all, beyond that, we don't come into this world with built-in self-esteem. In fact, for most women, self-esteem, complete awareness of oneself and confidence need to be instilled, and often with daily reminders to keep us on track. From the moment we leave the comfort of our parents' arms (assuming we were fortunate enough to have loving parents who guided us), at nearly every turn we have to almost fight against the will to bend to others' needs, to others' views about us, even just the bad day someone is having in order to stand tall, and not allow what's going on around us to knock us down. It takes work, believe me. Whether you're looking for a quick pep talk, to take inventory of ourselves or something in between, The Emerging Woman: Straight and to the Point: The Nice Girlz Guide & Workbook to Living Life Unapologetically to Emerge Into Your Power and Purpose will guide you toward better self-esteem, confidence and self-assurance in the workplace, at home or as you start a new career or business. The Emerging Woman isn't "just" a self-help guide. At the end of each chapter, you can reflect on the chapter and how it applies to you personally. So no matter where you are in life, no matter how little or how much self-confidence you have, we all are emerging women destined to live unapologetically.
