A House of My Own: Stories from My Life

<p>From the author of The House on Mango Street, a richly illustrated compilation of true stories and nonfiction pieces that, taken together, form a jigsaw autobiography-an intimate album of a beloved literary legend. From the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up and set her groundbreaking The House on Mango Street to her abode in Mexico in a region where "my ancestors lived for centuries," the places Sandra Cisneros has lived have provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a house of her own, where she could truly take root, has eluded her. With this collection-spanning three decades, and including never-before-published work-Cisneros has come home at last. Ranging from the private (her parents' loving and tempestuous marriage) to the political (a rallying cry for one woman's liberty in Sarajevo) to the literary (a tribute to Marguerite Duras), and written with her trademark lyricism, these signature pieces recall transformative memories as well as reveal her defining artistic and intellectual influences. Poignant, honest, deeply moving, this is an exuberant celebration of a life in writing lived to the fullest. From the Hardcover edition.</p>

Julie, Liz, Sheila, Monica and Lian Dolan are the Satellite Sisters, five real sisters with the same parents but very different lives. Together they host a nationally syndicated talk show on the ABC Radio Network.  They also contribute a bi-monthly column to O, The Oprah Magazine entitled Satellite Sisters Position Paper. Youngest Sister Lian writes her own column The Chaos Chronicles for Working Mother Magazine.  Satellite Sisters UnCommon Senses is their story of growing up together in a family that also included three brothers, two parents and one black Labrador retriever, Tor.  The sisters have a theory that growing up in a big family is good preparation for later life because you acquire the "uncommon senses".  Those senses are:  Sense of Connection  Sense of Self  Sense of Humor  Sense of Adventure  Sense of Direction.  Satellite Sisters UnCommon Senses is divided into these five chapters. The sisters mine a wealth of warm, wise and funny anecdotes from their childhood and modern lives to expand on their definition of senses, showing off their distinct characters, individual perspectives and unique common voices. Real, spirited and hilarious, these Satellite Sisters will remind you of your own Satellite Sisters.
