Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! is the autobiography of EGOT icon Liza Minnelli. This fascinating, untold story reveals the intimate truth of the only child born to Hollywood legends Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland. For the first time, here is Liza up close: Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and heartbreaking. Liza decided at the age of 16 that "sympathy is my mother's business. I give people joy." That veil of joy, however, masks a lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder ("SUD," which Liza inherited from her mother's branch of her family), boundless love to give and an equal need to receive it, broken marriages, multiple miscarriages, and hospitalizations -- the highs and lows of unparalleled artistic success and lifelong friendships, as well as chronic anxiety and the threat of financial ruin. Despite every challenge, Liza's is a life wrapped in laughter and her tremendous capacity to give and receive love. Today at nearly 80, she opens her heart, mind and memories, sharing secrets we never knew. Liza's book celebrates supreme artistry and, more importantly, her human rights activism. "It's time to tell the truth," Liza says, "and help people heal, as I have, one day at a time""-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4984936</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4984936</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Minnelli, Liza]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4984936192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>My Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538773666/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Devout]]></title><description><![CDATA["At just seventeen, David Archuleta rose to national fame as the runner-up on American Idol season seven, captivating millions with his angelic voice. Behind the scenes, however, he was struggling with a truth he feared would destroy everything: he was attracted to men--and a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In Devout, David takes you inside his deeply personal journey as a closeted Mormon teen turned international pop star, torn between faith, fame, and identity. From dealing with the pressures of being on a hit television show to a domineering father who controlled every aspect of his career -- even being banned from the show's set -- David reveals the emotional abuse and inner turmoil that he says plagued his childhood. This ... memoir reflects on David's ventures with American Idol, a tour with Demi Lovato, and a two-year sabbatical as a missionary in South America, charting his path through heartbreak, estrangement, three engagements, thoughts of suicide, and finally,his courageous decision to leave the Mormon Church in order to live authentically as a queer man"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5003448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5003448</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Archuleta, David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5003448192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Losing My Faith to Find Myself</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668222485/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you'd like to learn how to play ukulele but have little to no experience, then this book is for you!

In Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, Martha Ackmann chronicles the life of an American original. From her impoverished childhood in the Smoky Mountains to international stardom as a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist, Dolly Parton has exceeded everyone's expectations except her own. During a time when the Beatles set the standard for contemporary music, Dolly appeared on a local country music television show that her high school classmates thought was pure cornpone. The day after her high school graduation, she boarded a bus for Nashville, but record executives turned her down. One said her voice sounded like a screech owl. When Dolly finally got her foot in the door, her talent and focus catapulted her to the top of country charts, the pop world, and movie stardom. Yet her success came at a price. Shunned by many in Nashville who saw her ambition as a betrayal of her country music roots, Dolly became the target of death threats, lawsuits, and a judge who threatened to throw her in jail. She nearly collapsed on-stage and later succumbed to depression that pushed her to the brink, but she refused to be counted out and came back stronger than ever developing Dollywood, the amusement park that became the economic engine of East Tennessee, and founding the Imagination Library that provides free books to children around the world. Her philanthropy to health organizations led to creation of the Moderna COVID vaccine. And, finally, she returned to her roots, recording bluegrass albums that became the most celebrated of her unparalleled 60-year career. Ain't Nobody's Fool is a deep dive into the social, historical, and personal forces that made Dolly Parton one of the most beloved and unifying figures in public life and includes interviews with friends, family members, school mates, Nashville neighbors, members of her band, studio musicians, producers, and many others. It also features never before seen photographs and unearthed documents shedding light on her family's hardscrabble life. More than anything, Martha Ackmann's fresh and animated new book proves Dolly Parton knows just who she is and she ain't nobody's fool"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4951351</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4951351</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ackmann, Martha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4951351192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Life and Times of Dolly Parton</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250286857/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Do You Do When You're Lonesome]]></title><description><![CDATA["The authorized biography of singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle When Justin Townes Earle died in 2020 at the age of 38 of an overdose, alone in a sparsely furnished apartment in Nashville, his death sent waves of grief through the country-Americana music community. The son of alt-country hellraiser Steve Earle, partially named after the Texas troubadour and patron saint of substance-fueled despair Townes Van Zandt, he had long struggled with mental illness and various addictions. Some weren't shocked at his passing, but everyone had hoped Justin could beat his demons. There had been encouraging periods of long-term sobriety and active recovery in his adult life, including the years that led up to his career peak when he released the 2010 masterpiece Harlem River Blues, a career-making album of rambling folk blues set to Southern Gospel. He sang of cramped Brooklyn apartments and crippling hangovers, about emotional displacement, economic anxiety, and the wandering that characterized his feral, formative years as a rootless kid rambling around Nashville, developing his own unique guitar style and absorbing the musical influences that surrounded him. He appeared on Letterman, was named one of the 25 "most stylish men in the world" by GQ, and was anointed by critics as the next coming of the authentic troubadour. By the time of his death, he'd recorded and released eight albums, creating a striking and original body of work. Rolling Stone journalist Jonathan Bernstein, with the full cooperation of the Justin Townes Earle estate, unravels in these pages a short but incredibly creative life, and reveals the backstories behind Justin's greatest songs ("Mama's Eyes," "White Gardenias") and what happened when it all fell apart while also capturing a shadow world of the neglected children of Nashville legends who wrestle with the legacies of their hard-living, road-weary, often absent parents. Justin's journey to near-stardom is a harrowing story shot through with moments of clarity and promise, including his marriage to his wife Jenn Marie Earle and the birth of their daughter. But what Earle called "the myth"- the idea that one must suffer for one's art - proved to be too powerful. This heartbreaking, deeply researched tale is an exemplary music biography."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4950032</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4950032</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bernstein, Jonathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4950032192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306833274/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patchwork Sashiko]]></title><description><![CDATA[Transform your scraps into gorgeous slow-stitched textiles.

They say that if you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail. You're going to see the world the way it presents itself to you. The world looks different to people who interact with it differently. In the same way, when people see Sutherland's small hometown, they don't understand why he lives there. They see only poverty and despair. And it's true -- there's the decaying water system, the sagging, mold-filled houses with generations packed into each one. The substance abuse and the suicides. And yet, there is also the unconquerable resilience. The quiet dignity that only those who choose their own way of life can know. The joy that comes from nurturing those they love. And the courage of those who will not be turned aside from making things right. That's why Adrian Sutherland, an award-winning musician and lead vocalist and guitarist of the musical group Midnight Shine, chooses to stay in Attawapiskat -- despite his flourishing career and every opportunity to leave. Sutherland's memoir incisively reveals what others cannot see. By exploring his world through the concrete experience of his hands, as they hold a guitar, a hammer, a rifle, or a cannister used to carry water to his family home, and the materials from which the sweat lodge is constructed, Sutherland not only paints a portrait of a world few of us have ever seen, he also lays out the way the world itself can teach us right and wrong as clearly as we can detect a musical note that is off-key. Everyday life in Attawapiskat means choosing a difficult path, learning from the contours and hard edges of the world, and striving to do what is right. That is freedom. How many of us can say we are free?"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4917617</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4917617</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sutherland, Adrian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4917617192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Cree Meditation on the Real World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735241695/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weaving With Paper]]></title><description><![CDATA["Paper artist Helen Hiebert shares 30 unique paper weaving projects with step-by-step instruction and inspirational prompts for developing a daily practice.

Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso's life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. Hidden Portraits reveals that their lives were -- without exception -- remarkable. All six were unconventional, independent and talented. All six were tested, both by Picasso's subterfuges and betrayals, and the wider social turbulence they lived through. The extent to which each influenced Picasso's art in major new directions has never been fully acknowledged. Sue Roe delves deeply into the truth of the women's experiences for the first time, to tell the story of Picasso's women from their point of view. Her enthralling book spans seventy years, from Bohemian early twentieth century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, through Paris under Nazi occupation and beyond Picasso's final years of seclusion. The result is a riveting, atmospheric read about six fascinating and charismatic women, outstanding in their own time, whose individual stories have up to now been glossed over or hidden from view"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5013172</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5013172</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roe, Sue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5013172192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Six Women Who Shaped Picasso&apos;s Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324076407/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crochet How]]></title><description><![CDATA["The perfect learn-to-crochet book for beginners, from the creators of the premier knit and crochet brand Pom Pom Crochet How takes new crocheters through the basics so they can develop their skills and increase their crochet confidence with each new project.

For the first time, one of the biggest pop stars of the 20th century tells her remarkable story: her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage. "My story is not only my story. It's about our past, my country, how it was, what it became, what happened to the people, to artists." What would happen to a country's biggest pop star if religious extremists took control? In the wake of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, singer Googoosh found out. She was ordered by her government to never sing again, and for twenty years, she didn't ... until she did. Now, in this lyrical and moving memoir, pop superstar Googoosh unveils her unforgettable journey. From her difficult upbringing in Iran's tumultuous 1950s and '60s to her stardom in the '70s, she reveals what it was like to reach the peak of her career just as the 1979 Islamic Revolution swept the country. Seemingly overnight, she went from being on magazine covers, at film premieres and fashion shows, and constantly on the radio, to targeted by religious clerics. What followed is a harrowing tale of oppression, intimidation, and exile. After more than twenty years -- forbidden to sing or speak out -- she found her voice at the turn of the millennium, once again on the international stage. Now, inspired by the brave women of Iran on the front lines fighting for their freedoms, Googoosh finally tells her full story, and with it, the story of a country once again on the brink.]]></description><link>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4934607</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4934607</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Googoosh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brucecounty.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4934607192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Sinful Voice</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668067420/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pieces of Time]]></title><description><![CDATA[AnnMarie Rowland writes and sings songs about quilts, the people who make them, and the ones who love them.
