One day Edna decides it is her life purpose to teach people how to have good manners, and how to behave in her correct ways. Her oh-so-important first lesson starts at a coffee shop?except, well, Edna isn't as mannerly and correct as she thinks. In fact, Edna earns the nickname ?Enraged Edna, ? thanks to her illogical temper. Edna is clueless and pretty much thinks she may possibly be one of the most perfect people on the planet. Over the course of her day, Edna intimidates a coffee shop customer, loudly disrupts people in a quiet library, and becomes every salesperson's worst nightmare. The fact is Edna has no clue that she's actually the person who needs to learn manners and correct behavior. So blinded by her own self-centredness and massive ego, she goes through her day too proud to see her shortcomings. As Edna continues down her path of destruction, will she realize that maybe she should learn something from the nice people she's been trampling all day? Artist and author Jose Mylabathula adds her hilarious illustrations to the story of Enraged Edna, whose over confidence is catastrophic.

Dear Edna Sloane is a funny, fast-paced epistolary novel about fame, writers, ambition, and the ups and downs of a creative life. Edna Sloane was a promising author at the top of her game. Her debut novel was an instant classic and commercial success, vaulting her into the heady echelons of the 1980s New York City lit scene. Then she disappeared and was largely forgotten. Decades later, Seth Edwards is an aspiring writer and editor who feels he’s done all the right things to achieve literary success, but despairs that his dream will be forever out of reach. He becomes obsessed with the idea that if he can rediscover Sloane, it will make his career. His search for her leads to unexpected places and connections, and the epistolary correspondence that ensues makes up this book, a novel infused with insights and meditations about what our cultural obsession with the "next big thing" does to literature, and what it means to be a creative person in the world.

They tried to erase her. Instead, she became a legend. At just seven years old, Edna Szurek risked everything to smuggle food through holes in the Warsaw Ghetto wall, knowing each step could be her last. By the age of 10, she was the youngest decorated member of the Polish resistance. And by the end of the war, she had defied every Nazi plan for her destruction. Though she fought armed with a pistol, Edna's true weapons were wit, bravery, and an unshakable love for her sister. Disguised as a Catholic girl, she even earned a medal from Pope Pius XII, who never knew he was honoring a Jewish child who had outsmarted the Reich. Drawn from over five hours of her firsthand testimony recorded by the USC Shoah Foundation, this powerful memoir traces Edna's impossible journey: from the ashes of a shattered birthday celebration to the brutal reality of a POW camp, escaping the deadly confines of the Warsaw Ghetto to find the hidden safety of a convent sanctuary. Edna Szurek should not have survived the Holocaust. But she did. And her story will stay with you forever.
