An inspirational memoir from New York Times bestselling author Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, who, after hitting rock bottom, gathered the strength to put her life back together. More than a year ago my life was so off course that I wondered whether I would ever be able to find my way back. I was broken and lost, not even sure where I was, but out of this emotional barrenness I knew I had to find me. And so, I took a journey to find myself and begin the process of healing all the broken places. Finding Sarah is the story of that journey. So begins this extraordinarily personal memoir by Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York. She knows, firsthand, what it means to feel lost and she also knows that it is never too late to find your way back, to attain your goal, to take back control of your life and to make a special dream come true. Through intimate diary excerpts and personal emails from friends and family, Sarah opens herself unsparingly. On every page of this book you will hear from her "real-life angels"--Dr. Phil McGraw, Suze Orman, Martha Beck, and many more--as they help her get to the root of her problems, from comfort eating to self-loathing, from reckless overspending to notorious mishaps. Sarah hopes that her experiences will inspire you to look closely at your own life and how you wish to improve it, then encourage you to follow your instincts and find your true path. Sarah Ferguson did, and so can you.

All my life I have done what my family wanted. I have performed and made them happy. Until now. Now I have broken out on my own Sarah Tracy has spent her entire life under constant supervision, always under the thumb of one older sibling or another. Now, at eighteen it's time for her to get married, so she is sent to dinner parties, plays, teas, soirees, talks, and chaperoned walks -- always accompanied, always watched. Sarah's tired of it -- tired of being shipped around, tired of being reminded that it's time to find a suitable husband. She knows that a husband is definitely not what she wants. But the year is 1861 and it's not proper for girls of Sarah's age to be single or independent. Then Sarah sees an advertisement looking for a young woman to oversee Mount Vernon, the beloved, though now dilapidated, family home of George Washington. Intent on securing the position, she lies to her family and her potential employer, and she becomes mistress of this decaying symbol of American freedom. And then comes the American Civil War. As battles rage around her, Sarah is determined to create a haven of peace at Mount Vernon. With consummate skills, feminine wiles, and a true sense of diplomacy, Sarah single-handedly manages to keep Mount Vernon out of the war. But while she is able to influence generals, soldiers, and even the president, she learns she doesn't hold such sway over her own heart -- as she also discovers true love. Based on a true story, this is the amazing tale of one girl's path to womanhood.
In the grip of Tasmania's eerie disappearances, Detective Sarah Lahey's quest for answers becomes a personal crucible. As her investigation draws her deeper into the shadows, her tangled relationship with fellow detective Karl Jenkins blurs the lines between ally and liability. Together, they face a darkening path that tests their bond and the very heart of their resolve. "Sarah Lahey" weaves a tale of relentless pursuit and suspense, where the quest for truth risks more than just a partnership-it tempts a treacherous fate.

Sarah Palin's Piece of the American Pie: A wake-up Call for Mainstream America

In Sarah Palin's Piece of the American Pie, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rosemary Bachelor asks whether Palin is an American patriot or a political pawn in the foreplay to the 2012 presidential election. A partial response to Palin's Going Rogue: An American Life, Bachelor's smartly written, pitch-perfect political expos is unapologetically biased and leaves no stone unearthed in trying to crack the riddle of one of the most enigmatic cause c l bres the country has ever known. Bachelor writes: "Many sideline observers of Sarah's upward and onward trajectory express concern about all the things she doesn't know. It may, however, be time to also be disturbed about what Sarah thinks she does know." In eight fully annotated, thought-provoking chapters such as "Sarah Palin's Politics: A New World Recipe?," "At Issue: The Ingredients," and "Sarah Palin's Patriotism: Which Way to Slice It?," Bachelor pulls no punches in uncovering what Palin stands for and what she, or those who control her, hope to accomplish. The author also expresses concern for the American image abroad, saying: "Some onlookers, many of them in Canada and the European nations, sense in the United States an unstable marriage of politics and religion that projects a very fundamentalist world view. Its wedding cake is decorated with incendiary ideas for domination of the Mideast, ideas which intrigue Jews and terrify Muslims." Beyond Palin's ability to rally fellow countrymen with fiery rhetoric, Palin's plainspoken battle cries are often hollow of meaning and intent. Bachelor contends that Palin didn't get where she is by having "facts in her toolbox," which means the former governor of Alaska is either laughing all the way to the bank, or is being taken advantage of by the Republican Party, the Tea Party - or both. Bachelor takes a fairly liberal approach in her inquiries into Palin's sense of patriotism and religious freedom, as well as Palin's stance on priority issues, but this author ultimately lets readers resolve Palin's political motivation and credibility on their own. Bachelor reminds us that knowing how to run a family, how to govern a state which has surplus funds, and how to run a world superpower are entirely different. Kids don't fight with jet planes, bombs and high tech guns; and, Alaska has about the same population as Indianapolis, Indiana. Among other probing fodder, Bachelor questions why Palin hasn't distanced herself from her more radical followers, such as the white supremacists and militia groups, and how Palin can have dual allegiance to two parties. This book is subtitled "A wake-up Call for Mainstream America" because Bachelor believes that there are Americans all over the nation who are not conservatives, do have family values and religious faith, and are top grade patriots. The energy which goes into finger-pointing around such issues as abortion and gay marriage, she says, needs to be channeled into a unified vision of a cleaner, safer and economically prosperous America whose citizens enjoy a more wholesome and less stressful way of life. In pointing to the difference between patriotism and nationalism, Bachelor has this to say: "We have poked our noses into a lot of pigeon holes and found that patriotism is not a simple slogan, but instead a complex crocheting together of various ideals. Instead of flag-waving, it is more an attempt to stitch together a national fabric, an American tapestry that depicts us as moral, humane and responsible citizens." With a behind-the-scenes crackdown that follows the Tea Party's financial supporters, Bachelor highlights the contradictions between the Palin the public thinks it knows, and the Palin they should get to know. We all deserve a piece of the American pie. Here's to making sure all Americans have a slice.
Take away the liberal media bias and manipulating sound bites, and what you're left with is Sarah Palin Uncut, a collection of rallies, speeches, and calls to action. The powerful yet heartfelt words, in context, leave the reader with the purest impression of the nation's trailblazer and inspiration behind the emergence of the powerful and influential Tea Party movement, Sarah Palin.
