Scouted by a modeling agent when she was just sixteen years old, Cameron Russell first approached her job with some reservations: she was a serious student with her sights set on college—not the runway. But it was a job, and modeling seemed to offer young women like herself unprecedented access to wealth, fame, and influence. Besides, as she was often reminded, “there are a million girls in line” who would eagerly replace her. In her memoir, Russell chronicles how she learned to navigate the space between physical appearance and interiority, and making money in an often-exploitative system.

In this poignant memoir, Charles Spencer recounts the trauma of being sent away from home at age eight to attend a boarding school. A Very Private School offers a clear-eyed firsthand account of a culture of cruelty at the school Spencer attended in his youth and provides important insights into an antiquated boarding system. Drawing on the memories of many of his schoolboy contemporaries, as well as his own letters and diaries from the time, he reflects on the hopelessness and abandonment he felt aged eight, describing the pain of homesickness and the appalling inescapability of it all.

Story
For nearly thirty years Chris Highland sauntered the rivers and streams of poverty and homelessness as an interfaith chaplain, teacher, shelter director and housing manager. His "practice of presence" among people who find themselves stuck on the muddy banks or in the swirling eddies of financial, housing or mental insecurity revealed something surprising.
