      Four years ago, Glennon Doyle--bestselling Oprah-endorsed author, renowned activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of three--was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. Glennon was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. Untamed offers an examination of the restrictive expectations women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world's expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at our lives and recognize: There She Is

      Before they became legendary writers, Charlotte Bront', Emily Bront', and Anne Bront' were detectors in this charming historical mystery. Not yet published novelists, they have well-honed imaginations and are expert readers. And, as Charlotte remarks, "detecting is reading between the lines--it's seeing what is not there."ing what is not there."

      Nekonečně dlouhého parného léta roku 1995 si dvaadvacetiletá Alice Langová pronajme karavan na periferii prázdninového kempu v městečku Severn Sands. Spřátelí se s Marnie, stydlivou křehkou dívenkou, jejíž otec pracuje v kempu jako správce, a s Willem, jehož matka tu vede bar. Jednoho večera ale Alice ze svého karavanu zmizí. Nikde po ní není ani stopy, až na její šarlatové šaty, které se najdou vyvrženy na břehu moře. O čtvrt století později se prázdninový kemp prodá na stavbu nových domů a stavaři na pozemku vykopou lidské kosti. Nepochybně patří Alice. Životy Willa i Marnie jsou událostmi onoho léta nesmazatelně poznamenány. A nyní, když se Alice konečně našla, se oba musí popasovat s tajemstvími minulosti, vyřčenými lžemi a nesnesitelně těžkým břemenem viny. Jaký osud to Alice potkal? Kdo ji zabil? A proč? Louise Douglas, autorka mezinárodních bestsellerů, se vrací s dalším podmanivým románem, ze kterého čtenáři bude běhat mráz po zádech.

      Hannah Cho had the next year all planned out—the perfect summer with her boyfriend, Nate, and then a fun senior year with their friends. But then Nate does what everyone else in Hannah’s life seems to do—he leaves her, claiming they have nothing in common. He and all her friends are newly obsessed with K-pop and K-dramas, and Hannah is not. After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that’s exactly what now has her on the outs. But someone who does know K-dramas—so well that he’s actually starring in one—is Jacob Kim, Hannah’s former best friend, whom she hasn’t seen in years. He’s desperate for a break from the fame, so a family trip back to San Diego might be just what he needs…that is, if he and Hannah can figure out what went wrong when they last parted and navigate the new feelings developing between them.
