Yolanda was turned inside out by some of the country's top hospitals and doctors, but due to the lack of definitive diagnostic testing, she landed in a dark maze of conflicting medical opinions.

When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.

Tori here shares her stories, her biggest challenges, and more with the usual humor, candor, and down-to-earth charm that her fans love.

Kenan Thompson is Saturday Night Live’s longest-ever-serving cast member and a star of such pioneering sketches as “Black Jeopardy” and is hugely beloved thanks to a tidal wave of nostalgic fans who grew up on early 2000s classics All That, Good Burger, and Kenan & Kel on Nickelodeon. He’s also a dad (to two girls) in his mid-40s living in suburbia, and whose universal, relatable, family-friendly humor has created unbelievable appeal and engagement from fans from middle America to coastal elites. Becoming a dad sucked the cool right out of him—and he's OK with that!

Early in the Great War, men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes” worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Powerful & beautiful, but audio not complete
A remarkable story told and read by a remarkable woman; Gilda Radner’s words will move you to tears, to laughter, to deep contemplation. Unfortunately, the audiobook doesn’t include everything in the book (which is wonderful), and while it is wonderful to listen to Gilda tell her own story, the audio quality is pretty poor. I would still recommend listening; but read the book, too. Her story is one of strength, resilience, courage, and hope.

Not what expected, but still something
It always feels weird to rate an autobiography, as if I’m rating the author’s story. That said, I did have expectations on what I’d learn about Radner in her own words. These expectations were not met.
Admittedly, I wanted to hear more about her childhood, working towards Saturday Night Live, her attempt at the big screen - her WHOLE story. However, it really was focused on the last 6 years of her life. Of course, I am grateful to hear even a lick of her story told in her own words. I simply wish there was more of it.
This on its own was at times a difficult read. There was a lot of bouncing around in events and I believe the story was suppose to be constantly comparing her “past” (no cancer) self to her “present” self. Although this was at times successful, most of the time it was difficult to follow.
Overall, I always recommend an autobiography and will always rate it 5/5 since personal stories, even when hard to follow, ought to always be rated as perfect… at least in my opinion.
