The world first met Ricki Lake in 1988 as Tracy Turnblad in the film Hairspray. Weighing in at just over 200 pounds, the 5'3" teenager challenged what it meant to be an overweight woman in America: this fat girl got the guy, was part of the in crowd, and could sing and dance like nobody was watching. When she got her own talk show at twenty-four, Ricki had been transformed. She was a slender, mature woman whose long-running show changed daytime television forever. And when Ricki left it all behind to follow her heart and produce The Business of Being Born, we once again saw her in a new light, as a passionate advocate who wasn’t afraid to stand up for her beliefs and work for change. Ricki Lake’s life has been a series of rebirths—from fat to skinny, married to divorced, rich to poor, and more. In her intimate, bold, and relatable book, Ricki shows us how her unique life in the spotlight offers wisdom to anyone who has ever struggled in her own skin. She takes us behind the scenes of her troubled childhood—filled with food issues, abuse, and an unabashed yearning for a better life outside of her suburban home. She pulls back the curtain on her talk show and her early days as a “fat actress,” and she shows how she reinvented herself as an author, filmmaker, and much beloved finalist on Dancing with the Stars. Ricki weathered near-bankruptcy and an extremely difficult divorce, but, as she writes, life always hands you the unexpected—so you should never say never. Much to her surprise, Ricki has dated some of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, appeared on the cover of Us Weekly magazine in a swimsuit, and fell in love when she least expected it. And now she’s ready to talk about it all. Never Say Never is an inspiring, entertaining, and down-to-earth account of one woman who defied the odds and refused to give up. By trusting her gut and following her heart, Ricki Lake turned an unconventional life into an unparalleled triumph, and this memoir stands as a hopeful, hilarious, and honest exploration of how any woman can do the same.

"I don't want to hurt you, Leslie." Sara's words stung me. Of all the ways she could have said it, she'd chosen these specific words. Not "I won't hurt you," or "I'm not going to hurt you." Those words would have calmed my fears. But no. She chose "I don't want to hurt you." Computer analyst Leslie Howard knows all too well that the fastest way to a broken heart is to ignore Lesbian Dating Rule Number One: Never, ever, get involved with a straight woman. Yet, despite her better judgment, and serious warnings from her friends, she finds herself battling a growing infatuation with her very straight - and very attractive - co-worker Sara Stevens. Haunted by memories of past rejection, Leslie is understandably hesitant about coming out to Sara, yet she doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship by being dishonest about who she is. When Leslie finally trusts Sara enough to tell her she's a lesbian, Sara fulfills Leslie's worst fears and cuts her off. Hurt and angry with herself, Leslie vows never to trust Sara again, and seeks solace in the arms of a seductive young golf pro. When Sara sees Leslie with her new lover, she is forced to confront her own hidden desires. Then, a long business trip together turns into an emotional tug-of-war, as Leslie and Sara struggle to control the raging passions that could bring them together - or tear them apart.

Based on his life as a personal security consultant, dietitian, and personal trainer to some of rock's most infamous personalities, Victor Robinson's memoir "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" takes readers on a journey from the heart of America across the globe filled with loud music, long nights, and unexpected friendships that culminates in a man learning what it means to be a man, and ultimately finding himself again. Focused on the years spent on the road with bands like Twisted Sister and The Rolling Stones, "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" offers an insider's look at the world of rock & roll during the roller coaster that was the 1970's and 1980's music scene. From Australia to California to New York and back again, harrowing tales from the cutting edge of international music culture blend seamlessly with one man's journey into self-discovery and deliverance. Born in Chicago, Victor's teen years spent in the small Michigan town of Mendon gave no indication that a few short years after leaving the Marine corps he would be wholly enmeshed in the sexy, live-on-the-razor's-edge world of A-list life on the road, be it in a private jet on its way to a gig in Germany or a stretch limo filled with Hollywood elite. Whether partying with Jack Nicholson and John Belushi at The Roxy or helping Dee Snider tone up his biceps in between gigs, Victor's life is a testament to the idea that you should always be as prepared as possible, because you never know what the universe will have in store for you next. Told in the gripping narrative only a memoir can provide, readers from all walks of life will find the exciting, yet relatable journey of a man who survived not only the Marine Corps and Keith Richards, but also a life threatening illness that brought him into a new life as a kidney transplant recipient. Laughter and tears, sorrow and joy, anger and redemption: a myriad of emotions play across the page as Victor's saga unfolds. Sometimes raw, but always heartfelt and honest, "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" is a non-fiction page turner not to be missed.
