Starr Carter ha sedici anni e vive divisa tra due mondi: Garden Heights, il quartiere popolare segnato da violenza e gang, e il liceo privato frequentato per lo più da ragazzi bianchi e benestanti, dove studia grazie ai sacrifici della famiglia. Per adattarsi, Starr modula linguaggio, stile e amicizie, cercando ogni giorno di mantenere un equilibrio fragile. Tutto cambia quando assiste all'uccisione di Khalil, l'amico di sempre, colpito da un poliziotto. I media diffondono notizie false e lo descrivono come un delinquente, ma lei sa chi era davvero e cosa è accaduto.

Kimberly credeva che il "patto del cattivo ragazzo" fosse soltanto una messinscena: fingere una relazione con Andrew per salvargli la reputazione e aiutare la sua famiglia. Ma l'inganno si è trasformato in qualcosa di molto più profondo, e ammetterlo la spaventa più di quanto immaginasse. Proprio quando è pronta ad abbandonarsi a quei sentimenti, la realtà la investe con una bruciante delusione. E mentre dubbi e paure la tormentano, strani episodi la fanno sentire in pericolo, come se un'ombra misteriosa la seguisse da vicino.

The Book of Lesser Traumas is a non-linear autobiography of a life well lived. Sometimes outrageous, at other times heartbreaking, The Book of Lesser Traumas explores ideas of right and wrong, caring too much, and coping with tragedy. The opening tale explores the time when the author joined the Communist Party USA, creating a propaganda press, only to be thwarted by a small group of religious fanatics. From humor to black comedy to an exploration on the modern meaning of death, The Book of Lesser Traumas is equal parts compelling and heartbreaking.

This was the final fight of Patterson's career.

This is the audio recording of the "Phantom Punch" title fight—the second championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston—held on May 25, 1965, at St. Dominic’s Hall in Lewiston, Maine. It also includes a follow-up analysis by boxing experts. This rematch is infamous for the controversial "phantom punch" that led to Liston's quick defeat in the first round.

I'm not saying Gage Lockett is the actual Grinch… but if someone in town woke up tomorrow to find all the candy canes missing, my money's on him. The man glares at twinkle lights like they personally insulted his mother. So when he accidentally reads my holiday bucket list—complete with "Kiss under the mistletoe" and "Make snow angels"—I hatch a plan. I thought he'd toss it in the trash where joy goes to die. Surprisingly, he decides to tag along.

Nicole Casati è una home stylist creativa e intraprendente, con un animo da sognatrice e una volontà d’acciaio. È giusto un po’ pasticciona, ma quale creativo non lo è? Lukas de Wolfe, invece, è un risoluto e seducente agente specializzato nella vendita di immobili di lusso per la De Wolfe Luxury Estate, l’agenzia di famiglia con sede a Parigi. Durante una trasferta in Spagna, però, Lukas perde uno dei clienti più prestigiosi dell’agenzia e viene declassato a manager di Luxury Home: poco più di un catalogo sulle proprietà immobiliari dell’agenzia.

Getting stuck in an old cabin is not my idea of a great winter vacation. Getting stuck with Carson makes me wonder what I did to end up on Santa's naughty list. My friend Noelle talked me into going on a group vacation with our friends. Then she sprung the news that her boyfriend is joining us... with his friends. I've met these guys. You know that ape man on the insurance commercials? Gage, Mitch, and Carson make that missing link look sophisticated.

A volte l'unico modo per voltare pagina è andare via. Ha appena chiesto il trasferimento, che al commissariato di Cagliari si presenta Elisa, nove anni e una richiesta che raggela: ritrovare la mamma scomparsa. Giulia non può tirarsi indietro, anche se Virginia Piras era una moglie e una madre serena, e dunque per sparire così probabilmente è stata uccisa.

It's Christmas, and I should be full of cheer, but I'm having a hard time mustering the holiday spirit. That was always Grams' role. She loved Christmas so much that she talked my parents into naming me Noelle. Yeah, Noelle Furst. Picture the boys in elementary school having a heyday with my name. But I didn't care. I knew Gram picked it for me, and I wore it proudly. When Grams passed two years ago, she left me this house. I'm a lot of things, but a handywoman isn't one of them. And there's a ton of work to be done.
