More than just a biography of three of rock music's great female performers--Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--GIRLS LIKE US creates a vivid and thrilling look at this dynamic period of feminism, when women like King, Mitchell, and Simon took on new roles, found new ambitions, and developed new attitudes towards life. All three women came from dramatically different backgrounds--farmers, working class, New York elite--but as this page-turning book shows, all three grew up to become key figures in an amazing revolution.

Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down

This portrait of Alaska governor Sarah Palin chronicles her rise from college basketball to state office, including her years as mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Alaska. Kaylene Johnson sees Palin as a person of principle who was willing to challenge her own party--and win. In her view, Palin is a populist and a reformer. In 2008, presidential candidate John McCain selected Sarah Palin to be his running mate in a move that stunned the media and which recharged many in the Republican Party.
Sarah Palin, then 39, a hockey mom and former mayor of Wasilla, thought her dream of making a difference in the male-dominated realm of Alaska politics was over in 2004 when she clashed with the state chairman of her Republican party and fell out of favor with Gov. Frank Murkowski over issues related to ethics and openness in government.

When Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to Super Bowl glory in 2006 he made history, becoming the first African-American coach to win in American football's greatest stage. More importantly to Dungy, he won his way, always putting family, faith, and human decency first, even in a sport known for violence and histrionics. In his memoir, co-written with Nathan Whitaker, and with a special forward by Denzel Washington, Dungy shows how a soft-spoken man with simple values led the Colts to greatness.
