Book Description
It was meant to be a two-week holiday to celebrate her sister's birthday, but for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare. Arrested at Denpasar airport after marijuana was found in her luggage, she became the victim of every traveller's darkest fear. Over four kilograms of drugs had been planted in her bag after she'd checked it in and she was forced to face the consequences of someone else's crime in a country where the penalties for drug smuggling are among the harshest in the world. Her trial and conviction became one of the biggest news stories of the decade and her family watched in horror as she was sentenced to 20 years in jail. Yet despite the huge media coverage, the one voice the public never properly heard was Schapelle's. Now, in this compelling book, she tells her own story: of being wrenched from a carefree holiday and incarcerated in a stinking police cell and of learning to survive - in the squalor, discomfort and violence of an Indonesian jail. It is an account like no other and will be one of the most unforgettable books you'll ever read.

Book Description
It was a hot California night in August, 1969. Leno LaBianca sat in his living room reading the newspaper story of the terrible death of the young actress Sharon Tate & six others. He shuddered. Having seen enough violence in Nazi Germany to last him a lifetime, he turned to the sports page. He was thankful his own children had so far been spared the face of war. Nice kids, he thought with satisfaction. He hoped to see them tomorrow for his birthday. But for Leno there would be no more birthdays, no more tomorrows. Monday morning's headlines would scream the LaBiancas as the next victims of unknown, crazed mass murderers on the loose in a terrified Southern California. NO MORE TOMORROWS is the true story of three generations of the LaBianca family. It does not feature tabloid sensationalism, but rather a view from within. Through flashbacks, we are introduced to life in southern Italy & a more gentle time in Los Angeles from 1910 to 1970. We share the courtship of Alice & Leno from their first glances at Franklin High School through their wartime correspondence. But it is not just a story of the close-knit LaBianca family who succeeded in building a grocery empire. It is the story of Leno & how he is torn between his respect for Italian traditions & his intense desire to be independent. But, behind it all, is the love story of Alice & Leno, their differing approaches to life, & where fate & these approaches led them.

Book Description
“In this carefully wrought coming-of-age memoir, a young American writer searches for home in an unlikely place: East Berlin immediately after the fall of the wall.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review Rob Spillman—the award-winning, charismatic cofounding editor of the legendary Tin House magazine—has devoted his life to the rebellious pursuit of artistic authenticity. Born in Germany to two driven musicians, his childhood was spent among the West Berlin cognoscenti, in a city two hundred miles behind the Iron Curtain. There, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark reminder of the split between East and West, between suppressed dreams and freedom of expression. After an unsettled youth moving between divorced parents in disparate cities, Spillman would eventually find his way into the literary world of New York City, only to abandon it to return to Berlin just months after the Wall came down. Twenty-five and newly married, Spillman and his wife, the writer Elissa Schappell, moved to the anarchic streets of East Berlin in search of the bohemian lifestyle of their idols. But Spillman soon discovered he was chasing the one thing that had always eluded him: a place, or person, to call home. In his intimate, entertaining, and heartfelt memoir, Spillman narrates a colorful, music-filled coming-of-age portrait of an artist’s life that is also a cultural exploration of a shifting Berlin. “With wry humor and wonder, Spillman beautifully captures the deadpan hedonism of the East Berliners and the city’s sense of infinite possibility.” —The New York Times Book Review “A thrilling portrait of the artist as intrepid young adventure seeker.” —Vanity Fair “Convivial, page-turning . . . Spillman’s life is a good one to read.” —The Washington Post
