The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Haldersons Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder. Frank begins the season preoccupied with the concerns of any teenage boy, but when tragedy unexpectedly strikes his familywhich includes his Methodist minister father; his passionate, artistic mother; Juilliard-bound older sister; and wise-beyond-his-years kid brotherhe finds himself thrust into an adult world full of secrets, lies, adultery, and betrayal, suddenly called upon to demonstrate a maturity and gumption beyond his years. Told from Franks perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God.

“Éste es el libro que he estado escribiendo toda mi vida—el que hubiera querido tener para que me ayudara a navegar por el turbulento mar de la vida”. A pesar de que le ha tocado enfrentar pruebas muy duras, María Celeste siempre ha sabido salir adelante y lograr lo que pocos logran: triunfar en todo —como mujer, madre y profesional. Aquellos que se preguntan “¿Cuál es su secreto?”, encontrarán la respuesta en Vive tu vida al rojo vivo. En este libro, ella nos lleva tras bastidores al fascinante mundo de la televisión y comparte por primera vez las lecciones que aprendió de los acontecimientos que marcaron su vida: la adopción de uno de sus hijos en Rusia, el abuso que sufrió su hijo mayor a manos de una niñera, el dolor que le provocó la infidelidad del padre de sus hijos y las razones que la llevaron a hacer las paces con “la otra”. También cuenta cómo sobrevivió la traición de su asistente personal, quien en medio del divorcio le robó la identidad y miles de dólares. Vive tu vida al rojo vivo es el testimonio de una extraordinaria mujer que alcanzó la cima guiándose por sus principios —algo que todos podemos lograr si primero aprendemos a ser exitosos como seres humanos.

';A memoir for our times.' Michael Stipe ';A coming-of-age drama captured through poetic prose and convincing honesty.' Kirkus Reviews';I swim for every chance to get wastedafter every meet, every weekend, every travel trip. This is what I look forward to and what I tell no one: the burn of it down my throat, to my soul curled up in my lungs, the sharpest pain all over itit seizes and stretches, becoming alive again, and is the only thing that makes sense.' At fifteen, Casey Legler is already one of the fastest swimmers in the world. She is also an alcoholic, isolated from her family, and incapable of forming lasting connections with those around her. Driven to compete at the highest levels, sent far away from home to train with the best coaches and teams, she finds herself increasingly alone and alienated, living a life of cheap hotels and chlorine-worn skin, anonymous sexual encounters and escalating drug use. Even at what should be a moment of triumphcompeting at age sixteen in the 1996 Olympicsshe is an outsider looking in, procuring drugs for Olympians she hardly knows, and losing her race after setting a new world record in the qualifying heats. After submitting to years of numbing training in France and the United States, Casey can see no way out of the sinister loneliness that has swelled and festered inside her. Yet wondrously, when it is almost too late, she discovers a small light within herself, and senses a point of calm within the whirlwind of her life. In searing, evocative, visceral prose, Casey gives language to loneliness in this startling story of survival, defiance, and of the embers that still burn when everything else in us goes dark.
