Sugar Ray Robinson transcended race and sport to become a celebrity athlete in a way that no one - white or black - had accomplished before him. From his business empire to his prized flamingo pink Cadillac, Kenneth Shropshire shows Sugar Ray was the trailblazer whom every athlete since has been emulating.

Sarah Thyre shares stories with self-effacing sincerity and an invincible sense of humor.

To Live's to Fly is the bracing, fully authorized biography of singer-songwriter-guitarist Townes Van Zandt (1944– 1997), who wrote such classic songs as If I Needed You and Waitin' 'round to Die .

The celebrated designer Dana Buchman knew almost nothing about “learning differences” when her daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed with disabilities as a toddler.
