Summary

The popular blogger and New York Times bestselling author of Yarn Harlot puts her humorous spin on everyday life, parenting, and, well, pants. 
 
The Amazing Thing About the Way It Goes takes on the amazing in the ordinary in this side-splitting series of short commentaries. Pearl-McPhee turns her trademark wit and perspective to everything from creative discipline to a way you would never think about fixing your email situation. This book looks at everyday problems—and honestly won't do much to solve them—but at least you’ll be laughing. 
 
Praise for Yarn Harlot 
 
“A sort of David Sedaris-like take on knitting—laugh-out-loud funny most of the time and poignantly reflective when it’s not cracking you up.” —Library Journal 
 
“Pearl-McPhee turns both typical and unique knitting experiences into very funny and articulate prose.” —Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press 
 
“I laughed until my stitches fell helplessly from my needles!”—Lucy Neatby, author of Cool Socks Warm Feet

    “An extremely engaging companion . . . consistently illuminating . . . inspiring you to think more strenuously about the selections you would add or delete.” —The New York Times Book Review 
     
    December 3–4, 1969. Keith and Mick stood at the same microphone at Muscle Shoals, lights dimmed, splitting a fifth of bourbon, and simultaneously sang the melodies and harmonies on the three songs that they had recorded over three days: “Brown Sugar,” “You Got to Move,” and “Wild Horses.” That’s a rock ‘n’ roll fantasy right there. A six-piece band working in a tiny converted coffin factory, on an eight-track recorder, with no computer editing or Autotune, recorded three songs, representing thirty percent of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll records of all time. 
     
    So tells Bill Janovitz of the making of the triple-platinum album, Sticky Fingers, which hit number one in the US and the UK in 1971, skyrocketing the band to superstardom. 
     
    All artists reveal themselves through their work and the Rolling Stones are no different. In Rocks Off, Janovitz reveals the forces at work behind the band’s music by deconstructing their most representative tunes. This is a song-by-song chronicle that maps the landmarks of the band’s career while expanding on the recording and personal history of one of the most famous and acclaimed rock ‘n’ roll bands in the world. 
     
    “A must for Stones fans everywhere.” —Booklist 
     
    “An intense pleasure . . . Janovitz opened my mind.” —Wall Street Journal 
     
    “Reading Janovitz is like sitting with a friend in a basement surrounded by albums, and spending the entire day listening to, arguing about, and worshipping the many licks that have become part of our musical vocabulary.” —Publishers Weekly

    In the summer of 1977, Terri Jentz and her Yale roommate, Shayna Weiss, make a cross-country bike trip. They pitch a tent in the desert of central Oregon. As they are sleeping, a man in a pickup truck deliberately runs over the tent. He then attacks them with an ax. The horrific crime is reported in newspapers across the country. No one is ever arrested. Both women survive, but Shayna suffers from amnesia, while Terri is left alone with memories of the attack. Their friendship is shattered.Fifteen years later, Terri returns to the small town where she was nearly murdered, on the first of many visits she will make "to solve the crime that would solve me." And she makes an extraordinary discovery: the violence of that night is as present for the community as it is for her. Slowly, her extensive interviews with the townspeople yield a terrifying revelation: many say they know who did it, and he is living freely in their midst. Terri then sets out to discover the truth about the crime and its aftermath, and to come to terms with the wounds that broke her life into a before and an after. Ultimately she finds herself face-to-face with the alleged axman.Powerful, eloquent, and paced like the most riveting of thrillers, Strange Piece of Paradise is the electrifying account of Terri's investigation into the mystery of her near murder. A startling profile of a psychopath, a sweeping reflection on violence and the myth of American individualism, and a moving record of a brave inner journey from violence to hope, this searing, unforgettable work is certain to be one of the most talked about books of the year.
