With wry wit and touching humor, Louie Anderson, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award–winning comedian currently starring in Zach Galifianakis’s Baskets, shares his journey of turning life’s challenges into joy, as well as plenty of wisdom he’s still discovering from his late mother. “I started out writing these letters to my mom, but a few friends said I should write a book. I said ‘okay’ because next to ‘we’ll see,’ ‘okay’ is as non-committal as you can get. But somehow, I stuck with it. I hope you like it. I hope that after you read it, you’ll write or call your own mom—and dad, sister, brother, cousin, nephew. Or have lunch with them. Or breakfast. It doesn’t have to be lunch. But do it now. Don’t wait like I did.” —Louie Louie Anderson has channeled his beloved mom, Ora Zella Anderson, in his stand-up routine for decades, but she died before seeing him reach his greatest heights, culminating in his breakout TV role as Christine Baskets, the mesmerizing character she inspired. Hey Mom is Louie’s way of catching her up on the triumphs, disappointments, and continuing challenges in life. Full of heartache, but also great hope, and of course—given Louie’s inimitable comedic voice—laugh-out-loud stories and his trademark observations on life’s many absurdities, Hey Mom shows a poignant side of Louie you may not know, and proves that he is one of the most nuanced and wide-ranging comics working today.

Meeting an old schoolfriend set Dove on a quest for her past. Her father was an ordinary Aussie bloke. What could he possibly have to do with fairy tales and a mysterious chateau in France? A chance meeting with her best friend from schooldays gives Dove Larren the opportunity to step back into her comfort zone more than thirty years in the past. With Jags, she need not be the CEO of Rosa Columba, or dodge speculation about her personal life. Jags has no idea of Dove’s status, and Dove knows nothing of Jags’ current life. The weekly meetings at Sydney’s O-Quay Café are relaxing fun, but one day the old friends start speculating about names. The inspiration for Jagger Michaela Stone’s name is easy to spot, but why would beer-and-football-loving Eric Larren and his comfortable wife Barb choose to call their child Dove Rose? With urging from Jags, Dove calls her mother to give her the third degree. When Barb Larren finally admits the source of the name, Dove and Jags are off on a quest to find out the truth about a mysterious forebear and how the Larren family is linked with a chateau in France. At first, it seems an ordinary story of a French émigré, but things take an unbelievable turn. Dove thinks she has found an answer, but how can she be sure when Barb has no idea and Eric isn’t around anymore to ask?

Well here's the problem Edrina, the law in this country doesn't work with stories. It only works with facts. And to put it simply, your story - look it just isn't credible. Edrina was trafficked from her family home when she was fifteen. She was taken to Italy for three years before being trafficked to the UK, where she was held captive for another three years. She escaped 152 days ago. What's Mine & What's Yours tells a story of survival. Just when Edrina thought she might have a chance at life - she is catapulted backwards by a hostile immigration system that does not believe her story. She is acutely vulnerable and is re-trafficked within weeks. Could this have been prevented? The Helen Bamber Foundation provides all encompassing care to help Survivors access the therapeutic, medical, legal, housing and welfare support they need to recover from the traumas of trafficking. The foundation now seeks to address the systemic problem of re-trafficking in the UK. Dame Emma Thompson, the President of the Helen Bamber Foundation and acclaimed writer and actor, introduces this edition, explaining and contextualizing the organization's mission.
