In all of life's chaos comes its array of muddled moments of despair, of questioning- of looking into a foreign reflection of self and wondering when all these moments of confusion and grief will ever make sense. There are so many ways to lose yourself in the world, to fall down and forget who you are, and to wake up in your room one day clutching the realization that your past walks negatively with you each and every day.i don't know yet is the landmark at the end of a dark night, and the first step in self-discovery after you look past your memories- and into who you are in your wildest dreams. If you're lost, if you're somewhere grasping at a string of what could be, if you're dreaming of adventure, if you're laying on a melancholy floor with your heart in your hand- you will find healing, you will find growth, solidarity and proof that better days are on their way between these pages.i don't know yet is a picture of the beautiful and devastating journey of self-discovery and encompasses that anyone is capable of making it out of the woods.i don't know yet couples the imagery of artistic photography and the musings of a woman learning to step into her own skin. Together, you and the author embark on a journey through the colors, feelings, and memories of each of your lives. Eventually, across trial and error, the obstacles of daily life, and beautiful words designed to promote vulnerability, comfort and growth.

In this haunting, evocative fantasy set in 1930s Chicago, a talented ballerina finds herself torn between her dreams and her desires when she's pursued by a secretive patron who may be more than he seems. "An utterly unique, lyrical play on the Persephone and Hades myth for fans of Neil Gaiman or Madeline Miller."--Booklist (starred review) Growing up in Chicago's Little Sicily in the years following the Great War, Grace Dragotta has always wanted to be a ballerina, ever since she first peered through the windows of the Near North Ballet company. So when Grace is orphaned, she chooses the ballet as her home, imagining herself forever ensconced in a transcendent world of light and beauty so different from her poor, immigrant upbringing. Years later, with the Great Depression in full swing, Grace has become the company's new prima ballerina--though achieving her long-held dream is not the triumph she once envisioned. Time and familiarity have tarnished that shining vision, and her new position means the loss of her best friend in the world. Then she attracts the attention of the enigmatic Master La Rosa as her personal patron and realizes the world is not as small or constricted as she had come to fear. Who is her mysterious patron, and what does he want from her? As Grace begins to unlock the Master's secrets, she discovers that there is beauty in darkness as well as light, finds that true friendship cannot be broken by time or distance, and realizes there may be another way entirely to achieve the transcendence she has always sought.

A girl marked for death ventures into the wooded realm of the fairies to rescue her mother in this dark, lyrical fantasy about vengeful witches, beastly fathers, and the stories mothers tell to keep their daughters safe--from the author of Nocturne. Gemma Cassata lives with her mother in an isolated antiques shop in Michigan, near a seductive patch of woods concealing an enchanted gateway to fairyland. Gemma knows she's not supposed to go into the woods--her mother, Virginia, has warned her multiple times about the monsters that lurk there--and yet she can't resist. Virginia understands her daughter's defiance. She knows the allure of the woods all too well. Her own mother warned her about the monsters, and Virginia also did not listen--until a witch cursed her true love just days before their child's birth. So Virginia will do whatever she can to protect her daughter--even if it means stealing Gemma's memories. But everything changes when Gemma gets too close to the truth, and the witch takes Virginia . Now it is up to Gemma to venture deep into the mysterious woods to rescue her mother and break the curse. Told in the alternating viewpoints of Gemma and Virginia, this novel is not only a tale of a girl's fantastical quest through a darkly magical fairyland but also an exploration of the complex bonds between children and their parents.

A deep dive into the science and psychology of why pushing our physical limits is so impactful--and how we can achieve so much more than we know. Everyone wants to know if they could do the impossible. Few of us will ever try. Alyssa Ages was the strongest she'd ever been, able to flip Mack truck tires and walk with 300 pounds on her back. She felt invincible, until the day her body betrayed her, leaving her vulnerable and grasping for control. Rebuilding her strength slowly brought her back to life. She began to wonder: What if strength wasn't about how much we can lift? What if it was about how we manage life's struggles? In Secrets of Giants, Ages, now a mom of two, embarks on an immersive journey to the fringe of the weight-lifting world, the sport of strongman. She hoists kegs and lifts boulders in suburban parking lots, attempts to pull a 50-ton truck using only a rope, and occasionally frightens her neighbors by dragging a sled full of weights down her quiet tree-lined street. She meets a powerlifter-turned-boxer who shares how lifting taught her to become a master of the mundane. A ten-time World's Strongest Man competitor is brought to tears illustrating how the gym helped him survive an abusive childhood. A pro strongwoman muses on managing setbacks before stepping on stage to deadlift the weight of a baby grand piano. Psychologists, researchers, and coaches offer insights into the fascinating ways that the pursuit of strength can permeate every aspect of our lives, from building resilience and confidence, to finding joy in discomfort, to teaching us to handle adversity. Part personal narrative, part research mission, part reckless midlife crisis odyssey, Secrets of Giants uncovers why physical strength matters, and how it teaches us that we're capable of so much more than we know.
