“The Motherload is for all the women who wish someone had told them the truth about motherhood. Honest, unapologetic, and brutally funny…it’s about developing the strength to care for yourself and, thereby, learning to care for another.” —Stephanie Danler, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter An intimately honest memoir about motherhood that dares to ask, what happens when “what to expect when you’re expecting” turns out to be months of rage, anguish, brain fog, and a total surrender of sex, career, and identity.“The kid was objectively a tiny worm, even worse, a worm with my nose.” Welcome to Sarah Hoover’s unflinching take on motherhood and its expectations in which the beatific narrative women have been fed—one of immediate connection to your child followed by a joyful path of maternal discovery—turns out to be not quite true. In The Motherload, Hoover provides a candid, funny, and sobering look at the journey women undertake as expectant mothers and wives from the early days of pregnancy through labor and beyond. Like most of us, Sarah Hoover grew up imagining a certain life for herself—career, love, marriage, children—and when Hoover moved from Indiana to New York City to study art history, the life she’d imagined began falling into place. She got her degree, landed a job in a gallery, made friends, and went on some exceptionally bad dates. She also met interesting artists, one of whom became her future husband (a whirlwind romance, theirs, exciting even with its imperfections). But when Hoover got pregnant, the life she imagined began to unravel. She felt like an imposter in her own body. She grew distant from her friends and husband. She suffered from anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame. She also experienced trauma at the hands of one of her doctors—a stark trigger. And eventually, when her son was born, there was no… joy. Instead, she felt “disoriented, lonely, and like none of my clothes fit.” Why was she seeing and hearing things that weren’t there? Why was she so angry and miserable when she had everything she thought she wanted? Why was the life she’d built falling apart? It took her months to discover that she was suffering from severe postpartum depression. And it took even longer to trace all the threads that came to inform her experience. At its core, The Motherload is about learning to forgive yourself for not being what you’ve been told you must be and for not loving the way you’ve been told you should. It’s about the uniquely female experience of constantly grappling with expectation versus reality, no matter your circumstance, and a rejection of the cultural idea of the mother as a perfect being. It is a moving, exciting, roller coaster ride, and a propulsive addition to the canon of women’s literature.

The Toronto and Los Angeles restaurant institution Terroni opens the vaults, releasing over 100 of their classic and beloved southern Italian recipes to adoring clientele and newcomers alike.Terroni is a Toronto institution. Established in 1992 in a downtown space with a Gaggia coffee machine, four barstools, and some panini to go, Terroni has grown, under the auspices of proprietor Cosimo Mammoliti, to ten exceptional and beloved restaurants in Toronto as well as three in Los Angeles. Each restaurant feels like an independently owned establishment but follows a simple rule: delicious Italian food with a strong southern Italian influence, made with quality ingredients and no substitutes. This beautifully designed, unique cookbook tells the story of Terroni through its food—in recipes, photography, and in narrative vignettes. Capturing the energy of the restaurants in words and pictures, it will engage, inform, and entertain readers and pique their interest to try the recipes for themselves. La Cucina di Terroni opens the vault and generously offers readers over 100 of the restaurants’ most beloved recipes. Loosely organized around “a day in the life,” chapters proceed from morning Colazione (such as cornetti—Italian croissants—frittata alla ’Nduja, Uova al Purgarotio, and bombolone—Italian doughnuts) through lunchtime pizzas, panini, and breads (famous panzerotti, pizza Santo Spirito, and Pane Pugliese). Then we move on to late afternoon Aperitivi, including some classic cocktail recipes and snacks, to Antipasti, Zuppe, Primi, Secondi, Contorni, and Dolci. Included as well are a Dispensa (pantry) chapter, featuring the core recipes that Terroni chefs use constantly (pasta and pizza doughs, sauces, sourdough, brioche, and much more). Every recipe was gorgeously photographed at various Terroni locales, giving the book a visual sense of the beauty and energy of the Terroni spaces. Readers are sure to pick up the book because it offers their favourite Terroni recipe (Spaghetti al Limone, Funghi Assoluti, Gnocchi all Simi, the famous Panettone, homemade salsiccia, and so much more), and keep reading because it offers so many extraordinary southern Italian delights. The cookbook will stand as both a lasting legacy of a beloved institution and a gift to loyal customers for their continued, dedicated patronage.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward tells the revelatory, behind-the-scenes story of three warsUkraine, the Middle East and the struggle for the American Presidency. War is an intimate and sweeping account of one of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history. We see President Joe Biden and his top advisers in tense conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. We also see Donald Trump, conducting a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power. With unrivaled, inside-the-room reporting, Woodward shows President Biden's approach to managing the war in Ukraine, the most significant land war in Europe since World War II, and his tortured path to contain the bloody Middle East conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas. Woodward reveals the extraordinary complexity and consequence of wartime back-channel diplomacy and decision-making to deter the use of nuclear weapons and a rapid slide into World War III. The raw cage-fight of politics accelerates as Americans prepare to vote in 2024, starting between President Biden and Trump, and ending with the unexpected elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. War provides an unvarnished examination of the vice president as she tries to embrace the Biden legacy and policies while beginning to chart a path of her own as a presidential candidate. Woodward's reporting once again sets the standard for journalism at its most authoritative and illuminating.
