Our society tells us over and over that if we're going to achieve anything, we'd better do it while we're young. We fixate on stories of prodigies; we put our children in piano lessons or language classes as toddlers, hoping to give them the best shot at success we can. As for ourselves, too many people feel it's too late to change the course of their own lives. Whether we are at the start of our careers and sense we're on the wrong path, or feeling unsettled in our late or middle years, we all wonder how we can reinvent ourselves? Late bloomers - individuals who experience significant success later in life - offer lessons for people who feel frustrated. This book encourages people to think about themselves as potential late bloomers and to discover and encourage and advocate for late blooming in others. After all, it's never too late to discover our hidden talents and accomplish our goals.

It's a wonderful book' MELVYN BRAGG* * * * * * * * *All Michael Parkinson really wanted to do was play cricket for Yorkshire and England. However, he soon realised that to be paid to watch films, football and cricket would be the best way to spend life, and he became a journalist. Television beckoned and for three decades Parkinson interviewed the movers and shakers of the late twentieth century, making his television programme the must-see event of the week. In singing with Bing Crosby, dancing with Billy Connolly, flirting with Miss Piggy and sparring with Muhammad Ali, Parkinson proved himself one of the most engaging and durable hosts in both Britain and Australia. In Parky he recalls a full life with honesty, insight and humour.

'Astute, smart, witty and brave. A radical, deeply thoughtful and essential intervention'Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence'A deeply valuable reflection on motherhood'Rowan WilliamsFor two thousand years, the Virgin Mary has been depicted throughout art, literature and culture as symbolising the perfect mother: chaste, beautiful, meek, mild and white. These supposed virtues and symbols have penetrated not just Christianity but wider popular culture; and contributed to harmful views about motherhood and what it is to be a woman.In this part-memoir, part social and theological commentary, Chine McDonald deconstructs the myth of perfect motherhood and shines a light on the dark side of parenting. From birth trauma to post-natal depression, from infertility to the mental load, the motherhood penalty and pressures on women to be and have it all - especially in the church - this book attempts to liberate motherhood from the chains in which it has been placed, reconstructing a more authentic, grace-filled way forward for the most important job in the world.Unmaking Mary will include a foreword written by Beth Allison Barr, author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood.

To dance when no one is watching is one thing, to dance when everyone is, quite another... Performance is an electrifying memoir from the dark heart of London's Soho.Burlesque performer Ruby unfolds from a Fabergé egg each night at clubs across London, until she is asked to direct the show at 'The Club'. A place of infamy and illicit pleasures where the filthy rich and famous come to play, and nothing is off-limits. There, Ruby's nights unravel in a crescendo of violent delights, in thrall to unhinged bosses and a rabid audience. Her soul is wrung out by decadence as the line between entertainment and destruction blurs - yet still, the dance must go on. In the teeming underbelly of London's Soho, Ruby must learn that in games of pleasure, money always wins.Performance is a visceral and exquisitely written portrait of a place that has come to embody the excesses of late capitalism; of tumbling willingly down the rabbit hole only to lose yourself in the dark.
