Perfect Chaos A Daughter’s Journey to Survive Bipolar, a Mother’s Struggle to Save Her by Linea Johnson and Cinda Johnson was launched by actress Glenn Close.

It is the story of a mother and daughter’s journey through mental illness towards hope

The Johnsons were a close and loving family living in the Seattle area – two parents, two incomes, two bright and accomplished daughters. They led busy lives filled with music lessons, college preparation, career demands, and laughter around the dinner table. Then the younger daughter, Linea, started experiencing crippling bouts of suicidal depression. Multiple trips to the psych ward resulted in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and it took many trial runs of drugs and ultimately electroshock therapy to bring Linea back. But her family never gave up on her. And Linea never stopped trying to find her way back to them.

Perfect Chaos e. From initial worrying symptoms to long sleepless nights to cross-country flights and the slow understanding and rebuilding of trust, Perfect Chaos tells Linea and Cinda’s harrowing and inspiring story, of an illness that they conquer together every day. It is the story of a daughter’s courage, a mother’s faith, and the love that carried them through the darkest times.

Cook it Slow by The Australian Women’s Weekly, be sure to warm your heart and soul this winter with some of slow cooking’s favourite recipes

Slow gentle cooking has increased in popularity over the last few years, especially since the return from the 1960s of the slow cooker kitchen appliance. This book includes recipes for the slow cooker, plus the more traditional methods of cooking in the oven and on the stove top. To make this large book easy to use, we’ve divided it into three parts, each covering the three slow-cook methods, plus suggested accompaniments and a few desserts. We’ve covered weeknights when time is short, freezer-friendly recipes for the more organised people and recipes that are just right for that special occasion.

Slow cooking originated in the homes of Europe, when those who worked in the fields all day set their supper to cook before they started work, so that their supper would be ready when they returned home after a hard day.

The Bling Ring: How a Gang of Fame-obsessed Teens Ripped Off Hollywood and Shocked the World by Nancy Jo Sales is a fascinating look at the dark and seedy world of the real young Hollywood.

It′s 19 September 2010, and 21-year-old Rachel Lee has emerged from Los Angeles Superior Court, having just been sentenced to four years behind bars.

A few months earlier, she had been running the Bling Ring: a gang of rich, beautiful, wild-living Valley teens who idolized celebrity, designer labels and luxury brands. Who, in 2009, became the most audacious thieves in recent Hollywood history.

In a case that has shocked America, the seven school friends stole millions of dollars′ worth of clothing, jewelry and possessions from the sprawling mansions of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom, among others — using gossip websites, Google Earth and Twitter to aid their crimes.

But what made these kids, all of whom already enjoyed designer clothes, money, cars and social status, gamble with their lives at such high stakes?

Journalist Nancy Jo Sales, the author of VANITY FAIR′s acclaimed exposé of the Bling Ring, gained unprecedented access to the group to answer that question. In the process she uncovered a world of teenage greed, obsession, arrogance and delusion that surpassed her wildest expectations.

Published alongside the 2013 film The Bling Ring, directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Emma Watson, this is the explosive true story of the seven celebrity-obsessed teens who became the most audacious burglary gang in Hollywood history.

About the Author

Nancy Jo Sales is an award-winning journalist whose acclaimed Vanity Fair piece, ‘The Suspects Wore Louboutins’, forms the basis for the Sofia Coppola film The Bling Ring, starring Emma Watson. The film, for which Nancy Jo acted as a consultant, is due for release in 2013. Sales has written for Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Vibe and People, among many other publications. She lives in New York City.

City of Women by David R Gilham

Posted on June 10th, 2013 by in Fiction

City of Women by David R Gilham explores what happens to ordinary people thrust into extraordinary times and how their choices can make a difference between life and death.

Whom do you trust, whom do you love, and who can be saved?

It is 1943—the height of the Second World War—and Berlin has essentially become a city of women.
Sigrid Schröder is, for all intents and purposes, the model German soldier’s wife: She goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her meddling mother-in-law, all the while ignoring the horrific immoralities of the regime. But behind this façade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former lover, now lost in the chaos of the war. Her lover is a Jew.

But Sigrid is not the only one with secrets.

A high ranking SS officer and his family move down the hall and Sigrid finds herself pulled into their orbit.  A young woman doing her duty-year is out of excuses before Sigrid can even ask her any questions.  And then there’s the blind man selling pencils on the corner, whose eyes Sigrid can feel following her from behind the darkness of his goggles.

Soon Sigrid is embroiled in a world she knew nothing about, and as her eyes open to the reality around her, the carefully constructed fortress of solitude she has built over the years begins to collapse. She must choose to act on what is right and what is wrong, and what falls somewhere in the shadows between the two.

About the Author

David R. Gillham spent more than a decade in the book business. He lives with his family in western Massachusetts.

The Hitman’s Guide To Housecleaning by Hallgrimur Helgason is a true 21st century odyssey where the warrior hero Toxic, goes from the field of battle to the suburbs of a land without guns

With some 66 hits under his belt, Tomislav Bokšic, or Toxic, has a flawless record as hitman for the Croatian mafia in New York. That is, until he kills the wrong guy and is forced to flee the States, leaving behind the life he knows and loves. Suddenly, he finds himself on a plane hurtling toward Reykjavik disguised as American televangelist Father Friendly. With no means of escape from this island devoid of gun shops, this country with absolutely no tradition for contract killing, he is forced to come to terms with his bloody past and reevaluate his future, to tragicomic effect. Toxic paints Iceland as an icy netherworld where in spite of peaceful appearances danger lurks — in the guise of terrifying romantic overtures with tough-girl Gunholder, fear of being caught in his blasphemous deception, and the threat of punishment at the hands of Thordur…whose name seems to be pronounced “Torture.”

About the Author

Hallgrimur Helgason was born in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1959. He started out as an artist, showing his work in several galleries of both New York and Paris, where he lived in the late eighties and early nineties. He made his debut as a novelist in 1990 and gained international attention with his third novel, 101 Reykjavik (“Imagine if Henry Miller had written Tropic of Cancer on crack instead of wine.”-Tim Sandlin), which was made into a film starring Victoria Abril. In 2001 Helgason received the Icelandic Literary Prize for The Author of Iceland. He has twice been nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize, with 101 Reykjavik in 1999, and Stormland in 2007. A film based on the latter was released in early 2011. The Hitman’s Guide to Housecleaning is his only novel written in English. It was published in Iceland in 2008, in the author’s own translation, and became a bestseller in Germany in 2010. A father of three, Hallgrimur divides his time between Reykjavik and Hrísey Island.

Jamie’s Kitchen by Jamie Oliver

Posted on June 6th, 2013 by in Cooking, Food, Society

Jamie’s Kitchen by Jamie Oliver was inspired by a big idea (and a bit of a mad one): to train a team of disadvantaged kids to become chefs and help them open a top-notch restaurant in London.

Against the odds, it worked!

We all learned a lot, especially me, and Fifteen is still going strong – we’re still taking on a new group of kids every year and three more Fifteens have opened around the globe.

All the inspiration, excitement and enthusiasm we felt that year is in this book, and I hope some of it rubs off on you.

Big love, Jamie
