DON’T MISS PHOEBE ROBINSON’S COMEDY SERIES EVERYTHING’S TRASH—NOW ON FREEFORM! New York Times bestselling author and star of 2 Dope Queens Phoebe Robinson is back with a new, hilarious, and timely essay collection on gender, race, dating, and the dumpster fire that is our world. Wouldn't it be great if life came with instructions? Of course, but like access to Michael B. Jordan's house, none of us are getting any. Thankfully, Phoebe Robinson is ready to share everything she has experienced to prove that if you can laugh at her topsy-turvy life, you can laugh at your own. Written in her trademark unfiltered and witty style, Robinson's latest collection is a call to arms. Outfitted with on-point pop culture references, these essays tackle a wide range of topics: giving feminism a tough-love talk on intersectionality, telling society's beauty standards to kick rocks, and calling foul on our culture's obsession with work. Robinson also gets personal, exploring money problems she's hidden from her parents, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess, and definitely most important, meeting Bono not once, but twice. She's struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jeans size. She knows about trash because she sees it every day--and because she's seen roughly one hundred thousand hours of reality TV and zero hours of Schindler's List. With the intimate voice of a new best friend, Everything's Trash, But It's Okay is a candid perspective for a generation that has had the rug pulled out from under it too many times to count.

Getting Wrecked provides a rich ethnographic account of women battling addiction as they cycle through jail, prison, and community treatment programs in Massachusetts. As incarceration has become a predominant American social policy for managing the problem of drug use, including the opioid epidemic, this book examines how prisons and jails have attempted concurrent programs of punishment and treatment to deal with inmates struggling with a diagnosis of substance use disorder. An addiction physician and medical anthropologist, Kimberly Sue powerfully illustrates the impacts of incarceration on women’s lives as they seek well-being and better health while confronting lives marked by structural violence, gender inequity, and ongoing trauma.

KANDI LAND is the life of Sherita Holiway, Kandi was my street name. Where I got Kandi land from was from the places and people I endured and encountered in this book. This book speaks to all walks of life, not just my life. I'm going to walk you through what I endured from the age of 2 months to 31 years old. My autobiography gives you insight on what I was going through when I first started writing my autobiography while in Denver county serving a 365 day sentence, it gives the reader some more insight on the whole process I went through writing my book. I wrote it by hand first. I wanted to keep you the reader interested by sharing bible scriptures, encouraging words, actual dates, situations, as well as pictures. I wanted a very well-painted visual. This book talks about overcoming and surviving abuse physically, emotionally, and eternally. How a little girl went from being innocent and sweet and well brought up to a woman that had to walk down the streets of Colfax at night with no direction, guidance, love, support, feelings of manipulation, used, and abused. Feelings so deep of being trapped and belittled everywhere I turned, not knowing if I was going to live or die and basically surviving just to live. This all happens within a blink of an eye. This is a teach-all, tell-all, help one another type book. This book is inspired to uplift, encourage, and send prayers to my family, the reader, and myself. I wanted the reader and my audience to be able to evaluate what they are enduring in their lives and take a step back, read a page of my book and get insight and hopefully change their perspective of things that they are going through. I also wrote this to teach my children, sister, and other family members that you can succeed no matter what you go through especially when you stay focus and determined, and even if you do lose sight that’s ok just get back up dust yourself off and try it again, look how many times I had to go through it. This way you know that it is always someone that has it way worse than you, so just keep your head up and stay strong. This book lets you know the ins and outs of myself as a writer without sugar coding or hiding anything. It's raw and uncut. Best of all it’s the real me.
