PEELING BACK THE LAYERS is a miscellaneous collection of ideas which explore subjects in further detail. Larson employs the object lesson of an "onion", which if peeled back has multiple layers, each one different from the ones before. The book is an examination, an exploration, a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th look at otherwise obvious topics. He digs beneath the surface leading the reader into new insights and understandings. From the funny to the very serious, they will make you laugh or cry and want to discuss, possibly argue. Who knew a cause of divorce has something to do with improper toilet paper roll installations? Is there really a tried and true method to "winning the heart of a lady?" Are there benefits to aging? Larson describes 20 of them. Who knew that porcupines and human have similar behavior? Was MOBY DICK the monster or was it really Captain Ahab? What was Grandma's wisdom? Why are scars such a wonder? Are Ghosts really real, really? How to get "high" not using alcohol, drugs, sex, escapism, or bingeing anything. You'll hear Jiminy Cricket sing, "Proverbs, proverbs, there so true - proverbs tell you what to do." When does love insist upon a kick in the arse? Is distraction a distraction? The book is simply a rambling romp through three dozen and more ideas, leading the reader to distant lands of the mind and heart.

As a child, I was sexually and emotionally abused by my grandmother and an uncle. I had repressed the memories, but I always inexplicably felt there was something wrong with me. One evening, seemingly out of nowhere, I had my first memory of sexual abuse, and a disturbing experience I later learned to be body memory, a physiological response that accompanies the recall of traumatic experiences. I tried to suppress them, and punished myself physically and emotionally because of these memories for years. It led me on a journey of self-discovery, filled with pain, fear and setbacks. Now, after working hard on dealing with my past and understanding it, I'm focusing on continuing to heal and build a stronger, more satisfying life. I tell my story because there are survivors of abuse who carry secrets-secrets that ruin their lives. The survivors need to learn they are not responsible. They'll overcome the denial, self-loathing and self-abuse that motivates negative behaviors.

In this extraordinary memoir, Nobel Prize-winning author Günter Grass remembers his early life, from his boyhood in a cramped two-room apartment in Danzig through the late 1950s, when The Tin Drum was published. During the Second World War, Grass volunteered for the submarine corps at the age of fifteen but was rejected; two years later, in 1944, he was instead drafted into the Waffen-SS. Taken prisoner by American forces as he was recovering from shrapnel wounds, he spent the final weeks of the war in an American POW camp. After the war, Grass resolved to become an artist and moved with his first wife to Paris, where he began to write the novel that would make him famous. Full of the bravado of youth, the rubble of postwar Germany, the thrill of wild love affairs, and the exhilaration of Paris in the early fifties, Peeling the Onion--which caused great controversy when it was published in Germany--reveals Grass at his most intimate.

The first book in acclaimed author Jennifer Brown’s thrilling suspense series for fans of Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars, Shade Me is about a unique girl who becomes entangled in a mysterious crime and lured into a sexy but dangerous relationship with a boy who may be a suspect. Nikki Kill has always been an outsider. Born with rare synesthesia, she sees the world differently. In Nikki’s eyes, happiness is pink, sadness is a mixture of brown and green, and lies are gray. To Nikki, Peyton Hollis, the ultrarich it-girl at school, was seemingly untouchable. That is, until Peyton is violently attacked and the only phone number the hospital finds in Peyton’s cell is Nikki’s. Suddenly Nikki is pulled into Peyton’s glittering, fast-paced world as she tries to unravel an unfolding conspiracy. As Nikki gets closer to the dark truth—and to Peyton’s gorgeous older brother—the only thing she can be sure of is death is a deep, pulsing crimson.
