Book excerpt: In her inspiring, intimate memoir, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States chronicles her extraordinary life story. With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation. Named “Ketanji Onyika,” meaning “Lovely One,” based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power don’t look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood. Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson’s journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come.

Book excerpt: #1 Have an adventure #2 Find confidence #3 Experience real love Yeah, those are the three reasons why I signed myself up as a foreign exchange student. Little Emily Klein, the popular girls' pet, going along with whatever, never speaking her mind. Puppe, they called me. "Little doll." But I was through with being a doll, through with being a background character in my own life. Everything was going to change-even if I had to cross an ocean for it. Bring on a year of bright lights, nightlife and parties in the USA. Except my plan didn't work. I was shipped off to the smallest of small-town America, a place where nothing ever happens, host families treat you like a maid, and nobody talks to shy German girls. That is, until I met them. Paul Shields. All-American football player (the kind with the pointy brown ball, not what people here call "soccer"). He's actually kind of sweet . . . or is he? Jon Denson. Paul's best friend, the brooding, leather-jacket type. We get along like a house on fire. Literally. They're my two tickets to an adventure that's way beyond what I can handle. The trouble with coming out of the shadows is that I start getting noticed. And now I need to make a decision that'll cost me either my mind . . . or my heart. No matter what, I'm sticking to my list. I'm not Puppe any longer. So who exactly am I?

Book excerpt: "When the Dord Fiann—the hunting horn of Ireland's Fianna warriors—sounds three times, the great chieftain will rise again and fight old enemies who have returned." —Maeve McKinley, Sovereign, Bloodlong. Moira McKinley is Queen of Organized Chaos. She's surrogate mother to her eleven orphaned sisters, eats cereal for dinner, and grows window box herbs with a green thumb. In other words, she lives a pretty normal life. That is until she receives news that challenges everything she holds dear… It isn't every day an Irish solicitor shows up on your suburban New York doorstep telling you your eighty-five-year-old granny has gone missing. And stranger still, reveals that the woman who has nurtured you for the last ten years isn't the soul you thought she was, but rather is some ancient guardian descended of the gods and whose first duty is not to her human bloodline but to a clan of immortal warriors tasked with saving the world. That and the fact the gates of the Celtic Otherworld-Mag Mell-have just crashed, unleashing the vilest of Fae demons. And as an extra kicker, just in case all that other stuff isn't enough to cozy your brain up to, you and your sisters aren't really as batcrazy as you always thought. Those little habits you shucked up to nuisance, like waking up in the middle of the night wrapped in thorny briars…while still in your bed…are all par for the course when you're made up of stuff that feeds the dark side. Stuff those Fae demons are on the hunt after. Stuff those immortal warriors are determined to protect. Stuff you might all end up dead over. Stuff only missing granny holds the key to…
