Book excerpt: Who doesn't love Lucy? The legendary actress, producer, and comedian steps into the Who Was? spotlight. Much like her hit TV show, I Love Lucy, Americans in the 1950s fell in love with Lucy. Born in New York in 1911, Lucille Ball was always a natural performer. She danced in the chorus of Broadway shows and acted in small parts in Hollywood movies. But Ball's true gift was comedy. She found a way to showcase her gifts in 1951 when CBS gave her the chance to star in a sitcom. She based the show on her life and called it I Love Lucy. Over sixty years later, it is still one of the most loved television shows of all time. Lucille Ball became the first woman to run a major television studio, Desilu, and her comedic genius has kept people laughing for generations.

Ball of Fire gives us Lucy in all her contradictions.

Here, too, is an intimate view of the dawn of television and of the America that embraced it. Charming, informative, touching. and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the book Lucy’s fans have been waiting for.

Book excerpt: Celebrate the woman behind the iconic character: a comic genius, perfectionist, loyal wife and friend, savvy businesswoman and devoted mother. We’ll explore how the shy girl from Jamestown, N.Y., made the move from model to showgirl to B-movie actress and ultimately became the undisputed Queen of Comedy; tell how she fell head-over-heels for a Cuban dynamo and the two went on to realize the greatest show-business success story ever. More than thirty years after her death, Lucille Ball still reigns supreme as the Queen of Comedy. The first woman to run a major Hollywood studio is best known for her iconic television series I Love Lucy, but the New York native worked for years as a model, chorus girl and supporting actress in the movies before finding superstardom on the small screen. Forever Lucy takes a look back at the Hollywood treasure's life, from her tumultuous early days being raised by a widowed mom, to her bit parts in Fred Astaire and Marx Brothers movies, to her love affair with a Cuban bandleader named Desi Arnaz and their overwhelming success as America's most beloved TV couple. We explore what drove Lucy to break down barriers in Tinseltown and her career resurgence in the 1970s and '80s. This book examines the public and private life of a beloved Hollywood legend. It is the remarkable story of a comic genius who was light-years ahead of her time.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The one and only autobiography by the iconic Lucille Ball, hailed by TV Guide as the “#1 Greatest TV Star of All Time.” Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world's best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words. The story of the ingenue from Jamestown, New York, determined to go to Broadway, destined to make a big splash, bound to marry her Valentino, Desi Arnaz. In her own inimitable style, she tells of their life together—both storybook and turbulent; intimate memories of their children and friends; wonderful backstage anecdotes; the empire they founded; the dissolution of their marriage. And, with a heartfelt happy ending, her enduring marriage to Gary Morton. Here is the lost manuscript that her fans and loved ones will treasure. Here is the laughter. Here is the life. Here’s Lucy... “The comic actress in her own words...intensley moving.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Filled with light and laughter.”—New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: This powerful, timely novel in verse exposes provocative truths about periods, sex, shame, and going viral for all the wrong reasons. After school one day, Frankie, a lover of physics and astronomy, has her first sexual experience with quiet and gorgeous Benjamin—and gets her period. It’s only blood, they agree. But soon a gruesome meme goes viral, turning an intimate, affectionate afternoon into something sordid, mortifying, and damaging. In the time it takes to swipe a screen, Frankie’s universe implodes. Who can she trust? Not Harriet, her suddenly cruel best friend, and certainly not Benjamin, the only one who knows about the incident. As the online shaming takes on a horrifying life of its own, Frankie begins to wonder: is her real life over? Author Lucy Cuthew vividly portrays what it is to be a teen today with this fearless and ultimately uplifting novel in verse. Brimming with emotion, the story captures the intensity of friendships, first love, and female desire, while unflinchingly exploring the culture of online and menstrual shaming. Sure to be a conversation starter, Blood Moon is the unforgettable portrait of one girl’s fight to reclaim her reputation and to stand up against a culture that says periods are dirty.

Book excerpt: Unfinished Business By: Beth Capizzi As Kayleen Carlton’s father grows increasingly ill, she’s forced to put her dreams of fashion designing on hold and to take on more of a role in her father’s business—as if she doesn’t have enough on her plate right now. With money missing from the business accounts, two twin daughters to raise, a husband who is pursuing his own career, Kayleen is doing all she can to make it through the next day. But when her former love shows up out of the blue, Kayleen can’t help but feel something. As she quickly realizes her former feelings aren’t so in the past, Kayleen has no choice but to face the future—and her unfinished business.
