Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man

named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood

and a cryptic vellum. When consumed, the blood will

revive his emotions; when decoded, the message will

lead him on a perilous journey that will require him

to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken

humanity to the transforming power of true life and

love. But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition,

and greed at terrible risk.

Many years have passed since civilization’s brush with

apocalypse. The world’s greatest threats have all been

silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There

is only perfect peace…and fear. But a terrible secret

has been closely guarded for centuries: every single

soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally

normal, has long ago been genetically stripped of

humanity.

Set in a terrifying future, where grim pageantry masks

death, this thrilling tale of passionate love and dark

desires from master storytellers Ted Dekker and Tosca

Lee peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare

take the journey.

In her memoir, Florence Henderson shares her personal story—a sharp contrast to her iconic role as America’s favorite TV mom, Carol Brady, on The Brady Bunch.

Carol Brady, the character Florence Henderson played on

the perennially popular sitcom The Brady Bunch, was the

perfect mother—the kind of mother Henderson always

wished that she herself had had. Henderson’s background

could not have been more unlike the innocent suburban

idyll The Brady Bunch portrayed. Raised by an abusive,

alcoholic father after her mother fled home when she was

just 12, Henderson sustained the hope that she would

somehow, someday escape her harsh and impoverished

Midwestern upbringing.

Help came in the form of her best friend’s parents, who,

recognizing Henderson’s talent, sent her to New York to

study acting. Success came quickly, as Henderson landed

roles in Broadway plays and on early TV programs.

But, despite its dream-come-true appearance, her life

remained imperfect.

In her memoir, Henderson speaks frankly of the crippling

postpartum crisis that followed the birth of her first child,

the depression that dogged her even when she was a top

Broadway star, the string of unsatisfying love affairs, and

the relentless pressure she felt to maintain the facade of

the ideal wife and mother. An honest book, it is also an

inspiring one, as Henderson finds unexpected fulfillment

in her second marriage—and discovers life’s miraculous

power to heal and renew.

Excerpt from LIFE IS NOT A STAGE:My mother, Elizabeth, left when I was about twelve or thirteen years old. For my sister Babby and me, it was par for the course. Like the other traumas we had experienced, we had learned that there was little other option than to accept it and try to cope the best we could. We knew that sitting by the door hoping that she would return was also a waste of energy and setting us up for more disappointment. There was also a part of me that understood that the situation was perhaps not as harsh as it could have been,

and for one good reason: From as far back as I can remember I had experienced so little maternal love in the first place. Kind words or any gestures of affection from her were virtually non-existent. I was, after all, the last of her ten children, and she had no doubt already reached the end of her rope. It was the way things were. I didn’t give my mother’s absence that much more thought, I blocked it out. Things would be OK. I put my energy instead toward staying optimistic.

True leadership isn’t a matter of having a certain job

title. In fact, being chosen for a leadership position

is just a first step toward becoming an influential,

respected, and effective leader. To rise beyond merely

being “the boss”—someone people follow only because

they have to—one must be dedicated to helping others.

To create an effective and motivated team, a leader

must also commit to achieving results. But to master

leadership requires an investment in developing the

ability of others to also grow into achievers and leaders

in their own right.

Based on the topic he’s most often asked to speak about

in countries around the world and by Fortune 100 compa-

nies, bestselling author John C. Maxwell explains how

great leaders grow themselves and their organizations

by progressing through five distinct levels of leadership.

Each level offers opportunities for enhancing capabil-

ity, and each has some downsides that a savvy leader

has to confront—and conquer—before progressing to

the next. Informative, sensible, and empowering, THE

FIVE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP is essential read-

ing for any man or woman who’s aiming at leadership

success.

“ Joel Salatin…has a personality bigger than the Grain Belt and a genius for farming that has made him a glib, brilliant prophet to a growing move-ment of back-to-nature farmers.”

—Christian Science Monitor

Food that’s defiled with chemicals with unpronounce-

able names. Food that travels halfway around the

world to arrive at your table. Food that’s so sterilized, so

adulterated that it will never, ever spoil. As Joel Salatin

says: Folks, this ain’t normal.

Salatin understands what normal is: Wholesome,

seasonal food that’s raised organically, procured locally,

prepared lovingly, and eaten with a profound reverence

for the circle of life. But Salatin is no “cerebral envi-

ronmentalistic snob.” He’s a dirt-under-the-fingernails

family farmer whose experience has convinced him

that small, diverse farms and real, “slow” food repre-

sent the only viable strategies for ensuring a safe, secure,

sustainable, and genuinely nourishing food supply for

our hungry planet.

Salatin also has a wicked sense of humor, and a

true storyteller’s knack for the revealing anecdote. His

crucial message and his distinctive voice—practical,

provocative, scientific, and down-home philosophi-

cal in equal measure—make FOLKS, THIS AIN’T

NORMAL the must-read food book for 2011.

The man the New York Times calls “the high priest of the pasture” restores the precious natural balance between human beings and the food we eat.

Excerpt from FOLKS, THIS AIN’T NORMAL:America’s food companies, for all their advertising to the contrary, could not care less about health. The be all and end all is about taste manipulation, shelf life, and cheaper product. Cheaper usually means you take out the good stuff and substitute with junk. In the end, what you have is a combination that our intestinal community sees as a foreign invasion. Such a foreign language into our innards is a diabolical invasion. This is not politics; it’s biological reality. Kind of a new way of looking at intestinal fortitude.

“ Joel...is one of the most creative, produc-tive and sustainable farmers working in America today….His message is that we eaters can change the world, one meal at a time.” —Michael Pollan, in the introduction to

DIPLOMACY AND DIAMONDSMy Wars from the Ballroom to the Battlefield

JOANNE KING HERRING WITH NANCY DORMAN-HICKSON

A fascinating memoir of Texas socialite and politi-cal activist Joanne King Herring, who continues to use her connections in government, fashion, and Hollywood to impact the world.

She’s been dirt poor; she’s been filthy rich. She’s bargained

with God, dictators, and Democrats. Life has knocked her

down, but Texas determination has driven her back to her

feet. She’s hobnobbed with such disparate characters as

Barbara Walters, Margaret Thatcher, Tom Hanks, and

Francisco Franco. The range of her experiences stretches

from waltzing with Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace to

surviving a Soviet gunship attack in Afghanistan.

Though the glittering life of Joanne King Herring is beyond

most people’s experience, her challenges and choices are

universal. Apart from dishy namedropping, this is a witty,

nuanced narrative—a surprisingly relevant example of

what one woman can do to change the world.

��Joanne King Herring is the real-life person behind Julia Roberts’s character in the film Charlie Wilson’s War. Herring shares the true story behind the events in and around the making of the movie, though they’re just a small sample of many fascinating events in her life.

��Herring’s network includes media contacts with Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, CNN, A&E, Charlie Rose, and CBS.

��Herring is an active and sought-after public speaker who speaks 2-3 times a week. She has numerous committed engagements, including open invitations from the World Affairs Council (535,000+ members, 90 councils in 39 states) and the Daughters of the American Revolution (165,000 members, 3,000 chapters in the U.S. and abroad).

��Aaron Sorkin (Charlie Wilson’s War, A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing, and The King’s Speech) has already expressed interest in writing a screenplay based on this memoir.

THE PRIEST’S GRAVEYARDTED DEKKER

New York Times

Danny Hansen came to America with hopes of escaping

haunted memories of a tragic war that took his mother’s life.

Now he’s a priest, incensed by the powerful who manipu-

late the law for their own gain, uncaring of the shattered

lives they leave behind. It is his duty to show them the error

of their ways, even if he must put them in the grave.

Renee Gilmore is the frail and helpless victim of one such

powerful man. Having escaped his clutches, she now lives

only to satisfy justice by destroying him, regardless of whom

she must become in that pursuit.

But when Danny and Renee’s paths become inexora-

bly entangled, things go horribly wrong, and neither of

them may make it out of this hunt alive.

Judge not, or you too will be judged.

��The Priest’s Graveyard was published in hardcover in April 2011 (978-1-59995-334-2). This trade paperback edition is being published six months later to take advantage of consumer demand. Dekker’s new hardcover Forbidden, is being published in September 2011. See page 2.

GIRL ON TOPYour Guide to Turning Dating Rules into Career Success

NICOLE WILLIAMS

In a book that combines The Rules with Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun, career coach Nicole Williams turns 20 of the most tried-and-true tricks of the dating game into a handbook for getting, keeping, and moving ahead in the job you want.

Girls are as familiar with the rules of dating as guys are with

the rules of the game. By using a metaphor that’s as natural

to women as breathing, Williams makes it simple to man-

age one’s career based on principles that are practically in

every woman’s genes. When the newly divorced Williams

moved from Vancouver to New York City, she brushed off

her dating skills and set out looking for Mr. Right. She soon

realized that the rules for dating have another important

application: young professional women’s careers.

��Center Street published the hardcover edition of GIRL ON TOP (978-1-59995-192-8) in 10/09.

��Nicole Williams is CEO of WORKS, a career coaching firm for women in New York City. Her e-newsletter, WORKS by Nicole Williams, has more than 700,000 subscribers.

��The author is a guest expert on MSNBC’s The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch, ABC Prime Time, and on TLC’s Real Simple, Real Life program. She has also made appear-ances on Today, Good Morning America, CNN, and Fox.

��Williams has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Woman’s Day, Elle, Glamour, People, Teen People, New York, Self, Maxim, and Marie Claire, as well as The Wall Street Journal.

Northern Ireland.

But World War II stalls her plans. American troops arrive

and set up base in her hometown, bringing diversion and

excitement—and the chance to be a part of something

larger than herself. Through the love of an American offi-

cer, a young Belfast evacuee, and a childhood friend, Sheila

discovers that she never needed to escape, because what she

was searching for was within her grasp all along.

��THE LINEN QUEEN (Center Street, 978-1-59995-200-0) was published in hardcover in March 2011.

��Set in the author’s native Northern Ireland, this is the story of life in Ulster during World War II. In addition to her own knowledge of the area and its history, Falvey did extensive research and enlisted a Northern Ireland historian to review the manuscript for historical accuracy.

��Falvey’s first book, The Yellow House (Center Street, 978-1-59995-201-7, 2/10), was published to excellent reviews. It also takes place in Ulster, covering the tumultuous period of war and politics during the 1910s and 1920s.

��The Yellow House was an Editor’s Choice for fiction in the Denver Post, May 2010, and was recommended as sum-mer fiction reading by the Hartford Courant, May 2010. It has appeared on Amazon’s top 100 Historical Fiction list.
