This sequel to Goodbye Junie Moon begins where she left off in Washington D.C. She has just testified in Senate Hearings about the corruption among the sergeants managing the army NCO and enlisted men's clubs in Vietnam. By succumbing to her conscience and becoming a whistle blower, she had put her life at risk and lost her business of providing rock bands for the military clubs. Her testimony made front page headlines all over the United States. With her life in tatters, she hopes to make a fresh start and that fresh start includes adopting a poverty stricken child from the streets of Asia. She has seen so much death and so many devastated lives that she now hopes, in some small way, to save a little life. This seems impossible. She is not the usual PTA candidate. A divorced, ex-exotic dancer, suffering P.T.S.D. from the Vietnam War has little chance of meeting the adoption agencies stringent guidelines for adoptive parents. And even in the 1970's, such overseas adoptions were expensive. Even worse, the rules required that she be married. She had tried that once - briefly, and vowed she would never marry again. So, with no husband, no money, and a life best suited to the future TV series, Sex and The City, what hope did she have? Her only assets are courage, persistence, and determination. The only glimmer of hope comes from the royalties she hopes to accrue from a book she plans on writing about her Vietnam experiences. Can she change her hedonistic ways, find a husband and become an acceptable adoptive parent? Only time will tell. It is hard to believe that this story is not fiction but it has all been repeatedly verified.

* The book that inspired Chrissy Teigen and Sex and The City's Miranda to quit drinking * _____________ 'An incredible read' - Chrissy Teigen 'Has the power to change your relationship with your entire life' - Glennon Doyle 'This thoughtful, moving book will help a lot of people get to a healthier place' - Johann Hari _____________ We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at work events, lunches, book clubs and weddings. Yet no one ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. In fact, the only thing ever questioned is why people don't drink. It is a qualifier for belonging. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. It is anything but. When Holly Whitaker started to look for a way to recover, the support systems she found for recovery where archaic and patriarchal. Urging drinkers towards a newfound humility is great if you're a man, but if you're a woman and not in a position to renounce privileges you never had, a whole other approach is needed. Honest, witty and trenchant, Quit Like a Woman is at once a ground-breaking look at drinking culture, a call to arms, and a celebration of learning how to claim everything life has to offer.

You'll want to scream, but you'll be gagged. You'll want to cry, but you'll be blindfolded. You'll want to run away, but you'll be tied up.

Sono passati quindici anni da quando Annika Bengtzon ha messo la sua prima firma sulla Stampa della sera, con tanto di foto accanto all'articolo sull'omicidio di Josefin Liljeberg, la ragazza che lavorava al club Studio Sex; una morte di cui nessuno è ancora ufficialmente responsabile. Sempre in prima linea nella ricerca della verità, Annika da allora non ha mai smesso di scrivere di casi irrisolti, mossa dall'ostinazione che la spinge a esporsi a qualsiasi rischio in nome di un radicato senso della giustizia. Ma ora che la vita comincia a funzionare, il suo mondo così faticosamente conquistato rischia di crollare. Non solo ci sono progetti per smantellare la testata per cui lavora ma, in aggiunta, la sorella Birgitta, dopo averle inviato una serie di messaggi inquietanti, è scomparsa. Tra un passato che ritorna minaccioso e un presente carico di tensione, l'irriducibile reporter della Stampa della sera si ritrova coinvolta in un'indagine che la costringe a un duro confronto con la famiglia e con se stessa, obbligandola ad affrontare una volta per tutte le conseguenze del drammatico gesto compiuto in gioventù che ha sconvolto la sua vita. Un'inchiesta, l'ultima, dove ritornano con forza i temi a lei più cari: l'amore per il giornalismo, la lotta in difesa delle donne, la solidarietà verso la parte debole della società.
