Aaron Carter was working on a book about his life before his death. He never had a chance to finish it. This is what was completed. All Aaron Carter knew was fame. He released his first album at the age of nine and was a 3x platinum artist selling out stadiums before reaching his teenage years. Close friend and mentor Michael Jackson confided in him that he believed Aaron was the King of Pop's heir apparent. His brother was in the biggest boy band in the world. Aaron Carter's destiny was of stardom; and unfortunately, tragedy, with his life ending on Nov. 5, 2022. Aaron spent three years working off and on with writer Andy Symonds (My Father's Son, The Man in the Arena, Reality Check) on this book. In it, Aaron tells about the night he spent at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, awakening in the middle of the night to find Michael crouched on the end of his bed. He talks about his relationship with his family, how his parents stole his money, and what it was like growing up in the shadow of Nick and the Backstreet Boys. He details performing with Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 10, 2001, and being on his way to the airport to board Michael's private jet when he watched the first plane hit the World Trade Center. Aaron is honest, funny, irreverent and self-aware with amazing recall about the stories that shaped a childhood star into a troubled, but talented adult. This book is not completed, but now it never will be. In its final version as published, notes are left in the manuscript by Aaron's writer and publisher so the reader can see the focus and direction where the book were going. Aaron was an open book during the process--it's a tragic irony that his autobiography will never include all his stories, thoughts, hopes and dreams as he intended.

*An Instant New York Times Bestseller!* A memoir of love and loss, of being in the right place at the right time, and of the mysterious ways a beloved pet can bring people together, from CBS Sunday Morning News correspondent and multi-Emmy-Award-winning Martha Teichner. There are true fairy tales. Stories that exist because impossible-to-explain coincidences change everything. Except in real life, not all of them have conventional, happily-ever-after endings. When Harry Met Minnie is that kind of fairy tale, with the vibrant, romantic New York City backdrop of its namesake, the movie When Harry Met Sally, and the bittersweet wisdom of Tuesdays with Morrie. There’s a special camaraderie among early-morning dog walkers. Gathering at dog runs in the park, or strolling through the farmer's market at Union Square before the bustling crowd appears, fellow pet owners become familiar–as do the personalities of their beloved animals. In this special space and time, a chance encounter with an old acquaintance changed Martha Teichner’s world. As fate would have it, her friend knew someone who was dying of cancer, from exposure to toxins after 9/11, and desperate to find a home for her dog, Harry. He was a Bull Terrier—the same breed as Martha’s dear Minnie. Would Martha consider giving Harry a safe, loving new home? In short order, boy dog meets girl dog, the fairy tale part of this story. But there is so much more to this book. After Martha agrees to meet Harry and his owner Carol, what begins as a transaction involving a dog becomes a deep and meaningful friendship between two women with complicated lives and a love of Bull Terriers in common. Through the heartbreak and grief of Carol’s illness, the bond that develops changed Martha’s life, Carol’s life, Minnie’s life, Harry’s life. As it changed Carol’s death as well. In this rich and touching narrative, Martha considers the ways our stories are shaped by the people we meet, and the profound love we can find by opening our hearts to unexpected encounters.

“There are multiple sides to all of us. Who we are and who we might be if we follow our dreams.” -Miley Cyrus Three years ago, Miley Cyrus was a virtual unknown. Her life in rural Tennessee was filled with family, friends, school, cheerleading, and the daily tasks of living on a farm. And then came a little show called Hannah Montana. Almost overnight, Miley would rocket to superstardom, becoming a television and singing phenomenon. Quiet days were replaced with sold-out concerts, television appearances, and magazine shoots. But through it all, Miley has remained close to her family and friends and has stayed connected to the Southern roots that made her so strong. In Miles to Go, Miley offers an honest, humorous, and often touching story of one girl's coming-of-age--from private moments with her pappy to off-roading with her dad, Billy Ray, to her run-ins with mean girls. Miley talks about suffering through drama and heartbreak and coming out the other end unscathed (relatively). And now for the first time, she will discuss it all—the milestones still left to reach (driver’s license! voting!), dreams to live out (travel to Asia! find true love!), and the lessons to be learned (remembernig to enjoy every moment!). This is a truly unique look inside the world of one of today’s biggest and brightest stars as she tackles looking back and moving forward.
