In You Should Sit Down for This, TV personality Mowry-Housley explains how she moved beyond child stardom to become a fully empowered professional and mom (75,000-copy first printing). The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is condensed from thousands of pages of manuscript compiled over five years in a project begun in 1986, when legendary actor Newman sat down with best friend Stewart Stern to talk about his life even as Stern interviewed Newman’s family and friends for an oral history. Star-power actor Rickman invites you into his life with The Rickman Diaries, which he kept assiduously for 20 years (100,000-copy first printing). In Boldly Go, Star Trek luminary Shatner offers stories from his life to inspire us with a sense of connectivity and joy.
