An epic adventure steeped in Hawaiian lore, this enchanting novel explores the connection between our world and that of the spirits of the wood, from bestselling author Nikki Van De Car. According to legend, when the kanaka 'ōiwi sailed over two thousand miles across untraveled seas to the most remote island chain in the world, they encountered another people living there. They were two to three feet tall, squat and strong, good and kind, and bothered no one without cause—they were the Menehune. When the Hawaiians came, the menehune chieftains feared the changes they brought. So, on the night of a full moon, they called all men and their firstborn sons and ordered them to leave Hawai’i. Some refused and, instead, hid behind to remain with their families. In the early 1800s, Kauai chief Kaumaualiʻi took a census of his people—and 65 of his 2,000 subjects were all that remained of the original people of Hawai’i.    Flash forward to today: sixteen-year-old Emma is out running errands when she comes across a boy from Hilo living in the woods, saying things that do not make sense. It’s here, in these woods, that Emma has memories of finding a space between “the worlds” as a child. She soon realizes this boy has accessed the place she lost, as well as the people, the Menehune. She helps him hide until whatever spell has been cast over him is broken. Together, Emma and the Hilo boy have to figure out what the Menehune want before it’s too late to save the only home any of them have known.

"For half a century, Betty Halbreich has been curating wardrobes and bearing witness to the vicissitudes of life as Bergdorf Goodman's original personal shopper. Of course, visitors to the store are awed by a 96-year-old woman who still holds down a nine-to-five, let alone one in the youth-obsessed industry of fashion. But age is only half the story: Betty has built this career by giving encouraging yet deeply honest advice. Much of it has been about what to wear, but she is known for her good taste on many levels, from her immaculate Park Avenue apartment to the fashion stars she's helped discover and the looks she's styled for iconic series like Sex and the City and Gossip Girl. In No One Has Seen It All, Betty collects her signature firm and frank guidance on relationships, careers, style, etiquette, and keeping house, as well as eloquent reflections on aging, solitude, and modern life. The result is a definitive dispatch from a powerful woman who still holds her head up high and wants you to do the same"--

Film noir was the dark side of the movies' happily-ever-after mythology. Sinister and sexy, it forged a new icon: the tough, independent dame. Determined, desirable, dangerous when cornered, she could handle trouble-or deal out some of her own. If you thought these women were something special onscreen, wait until you meet the genuine articles. In Dark City Dames, acclaimed film historian Eddie Muller takes readers into the world of six women who made a lasting impression in this cinematic terrain-from veteran "bad girls" Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor, and Jane Greer to unexpected genre fixtures Evelyn Keyes, Coleen Gray, and Ann Savage.The book provides in-depth profiles of these formidable women during the height of their careers, circa 1950, as they balanced love and career, struggled against typecasting, and sought fulfillment in a ruthless business. Their personal stories-teeming with larger-than-life characters like Howard Hughes, Louis B. Mayer, Robert Mitchum, Otto Preminger, and John Huston-offer a fascinating counterpoint to their movies. Then Dark City Dames revisits each woman fifty years later, to witness their hard-won-and triumphant-survival. On every page their own voices ring through, reflecting on their lives with as much passion, pain, intelligence, energy, and humour as any movie script.Muller conducted far-ranging interviews with the original six women profiled in Dark City Dames, in the process becoming a friend and confidante to each. In this revised and expanded edition, he updates their stories and shares illuminating, never-before-told memories of his time with them. This edition also includes compelling new profiles of ten additional women who left an indelible mark on film noir, including Joan Bennett, Gail Russell, Rhonda Fleming, and Claire Trevor-all packaged in a stunning redesign that offers the ultimate look at performers who helped define a still-resonant and inspiring epoch of Hollywood history.

Draw a card and gain inspiration from 40 incredible women-across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more-whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history's better-known men. What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a "muse" among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. This deck, from author-researcher Lori Zimmer and artist Maria Krasinski, repositions 40 of these women-casting them as the main characters of their own narratives and allowing users to draw inspiration from these iconic cultural figures, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. This set includes: - 40 full-color inspiration cards. These vibrantly illustrated cards (3 X 5") depict original portraits of each of the inspiring women, and are perfect to display or incorporate into inspiration readings, self-care rituals, or personal artistic practices.- 88-page, fully illustrated paperback guidebook. This enclosed guidebook features brief, engagingly written snapshots of the women on the cards, each with key information about their lives, careers, and legacies.- Magnetic closure case.
