I was being given the chance to do the one thing I wanted most in the world. The chance was presented to me by a guy so gorgeous, he turned my skin to fire when he touched me. And joining a band was the one thing I was most forbidden to do, the thing that would ruin my future forever. Eighteen-year-old Bailey has issues—and not just that she’s lying to her grandfather about playing fiddle in a Nashville bar. There’s how her younger sister Julie’s recording contract makes her family terrified that Bailey will mess the deal up. And why Bailey is acting out. And the way everyone seems mad at her, even Julie. Bailey’s parents don’t want her playing gigs at all, but when they leave her with her grandfather so they can tour with Julie, she lands a job playing old country songs in cheesy costumes at a local mall. That’s where she meets Sam... Sam doesn’t plan to spend his life playing backup at the mall for his alcoholic dad. He intends to take his high school garage band to the big time, and when he hears Bailey play, he knows she’s what he wants.

Even if you're broken : essays on sexual assault and #MeToo / by Pryal, Katie Rose Guest,author.(CARDINAL)500751;
Includes bibliographical references."From the bestselling author of 'Life of the Mind Interrupted' comes an essay collection 'rich in vulnerability and candor.' How do we make a good life in a world where sexual violence always lurks in the shadows? Katie Pryal, a rape survivor, a former law professor, and a bestselling author, takes on the rapidly changing legal and social landscape of #MeToo, Title IX, and the lawsuits they've empowered women to bring. Moving between the deeply personal and the socially critical, the essays in this collection are incisive dispatches from survivor territory. In these fiery essays, Pryal documents reporting her rape to a university Title IX office, in grim, yet hilarious, detail. She turns her law-trained eye to the Bill Cosby case and to musician Kesha's struggle to break free of her recording contract because of alleged abuse by her producer. This book is for survivors, those who love them, and those who want to make the world a better place for them. These stories strip away shame. They burn off fear. They lay bare the injustices women face and how we can fight them. Most of all, Pryal shows how she has fought those injustices herself-and by showing us, she inspires us to do the same. "Rich in vulnerability and candor, Pryal's evocative essays remind us that the survivor journey is far from linear, and that there is power and beauty in our imperfect journey." -Andrea Pino, co-author of We Believe You: Survivors of Campus Sexual Assault Speak Out"--$cProvided by publisher.

Good Grief:Embracing Life at a Time of Death / by Mayer, Catherine,author.; Mayer, Catherne.(local)tlcaut1496904080252100; Bird, Anne Mayer,author.; Gill, Andy.;
Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome. Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them.In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently.In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love--for John and Andy and each other.'We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room.'In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can't touch, each other and the lovely dead.'Gold titleCompetition: A manual for heartache;grief works;it's ok that you're not ok;this too shall pass;featherhood;the;consequences of love;Finding Joy;Languages of loss;Dear Life;last act of love. by;Cathy Rentzenbrink;julia samuel;megan devine;charlie gilmour;gavanndra hodge;Gary Andrews;Sasha Bates;Rachel Clarke.

Falling for Mr. Bad / by Foster, Melissa.(CARDINAL)605769;
She's a badass musician and mechanic with no patience for overinflated egos. He's a billionaire with no time for drama. Going head-to-head has never been so much fun...or so dirty. Sable Montgomery loves her single, do-as-she-pleases small-town life. She sees family often, spends her days working in her auto shop and many evenings playing at a local pub with her band, Surge. She has no desire to settle down or let any man tell her what to do. When Surge is offered what most people would consider the chance of a lifetime to tour with and open for Bad Intentions, the hottest rock band of the decade, her bandmates are all in, but she's determined to walk away. Sable has no patience for glitz, glamour, or overinflated egos, and that includes the infuriatingly hot billionaire sent to wrangle her into submission. Taking over as manager for his brother's band wasn't on business mogul Kane Bad's agenda last year, much less negotiating with the stubborn and beautiful lead singer for Surge, but there's nothing he won't do for family. Including trying to stifle his desire for Sable. He needs to convince her to accept the contract, but he'd rather wrangle the sexy, headstrong, boot-wearing, tough-talking musician into his bed. Loyalties are tested, lies are told, and greedy pleasures are satisfied. Are they just a chorus between chaotic verses, or will falling for Mr. Bad be Sable's greatest love song?--Back cover of book.
