Story
There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Respect, Admiration, Gratitude
Reviewed: 12-26-22
Respect, Admiration, and Gratitude are what I feel listening to this wise and beautiful woman sharing stories that have helped to shape her, along with her vision for a more just and joyful society. Delivered with authenticity and care. I wish for every young person to read this practical and inspiring guide to living well and good. I wish for every living person to see, as she sees, the light living within YOU, and then to share your unique light with the world, with integrity, with kindness and compassion, with strength and confidence. This book is a gift. Thank you, Michelle Obama!

Story
Merle Haggard was one of the most important country music musicians who ever lived. The Hag tells, without compromise, the extraordinary life of Merle Haggard, augmented by the deep secondary research, sharp detail, and ample anecdotal material that biographer Marc Eliot is known for, and enriched and deepened by more than 100 new and far-ranging interviews.

If you want to understand America…
Reviewed: 05-12-22
If you want to understand America… start here. What an extraordinary human. Authentic to the core. Through Merle Haggard’s story, meticulously reported by Marc Eliot, not only do we learn the history of Country and Western music and meet the artists who shaped it, we get a glimpse of “the silent majority” struggles, along with social, economic and political forces that have shaped this country’s history and culture. I have a whole new level of appreciation for The Hag. Highly recommend!

This work of art was exactly what I needed to remind me of all that’s good, beautiful, and possible in this world... and we each have a special place in time, not to be taken for granted. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma! Brilliant!

Story
The Shahanis came to Queens - from India, by way of Casablanca - in the 1980s. They were undocumented for a few unsteady years, and then, with the arrival of their green cards, they thought they'd made it. This is the story of how they did, and didn't; the unforeseen obstacles that propelled them into years of disillusionment and heartbreak; and the strength of a family determined to stay together.

How does immigration impact real people?
Reviewed: 11-28-20
I am an immigration lawyer for over 20 years. This book is phenomenal. Aarti’s voice is clear and authentic, with the perfect balance of feeling and reason. Her story illuminates the complexity of our immigration system, and challenges the limiting narratives we consume.

Story
There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

The Invitation
Reviewed: 07-18-20
This beautifully written (& beautifully narrated) book spoke to me like an invitation... like The Invitation. Bold, authentic, raw, and probing. Vulnerable and fully badass at the same time. Love! Thank you, Glennon!
