Catherine Paiz grew up far from the spotlight, in the vibrant multicultural city of Montreal, Canada, where her dreams began. When her path led her to Los Angeles, she built a life that seemed like a fairy tale: love, children, and a pioneering YouTube career that influenced millions. As part of The ACE Family, she became a familiar face around the globe. But behind the scenes, Catherine was carrying heartbreak, facing betrayal, navigating intense public scrutiny, and slowly losing herself.

At twenty-five years old, Parvati Shallow was plunged into fame and fortune after becoming the million-dollar winner of the reality television series Survivor. But despite her success, the ghosts of her traumatic past, coupled with the harsh glare of the public eye, kept her locked in a survival cycle of fear and shame that sabotaged her self-confidence and eroded her self-trust.

C-L-I-N-T. In that short, sharp syllable, there is an emblem of American manhood and morality and sheer bloody-minded will, for better and worse, on screen and off, for more than sixty years. Whether he's holding a pistol, an orangutan, or a boxing glove; whether he's facing down bad guys on a western street (Old West or new, no matter); staring through the lens of a camera; or accepting one of his thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture); he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name.

For almost 40 years, from its genesis in 1967 to its eventual live unveiling at London's Royal Festival Hall in 2004, the album SMiLE has been written into music mythology. SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson documents the history of the album, drawing on interviews with collaborator Van Dyke Parks, Brian's band (especially Darian Sahanaja), close friends, family, and many others who were part of its story.

How Comedy Saved My Life is the brutally honest, darkly funny, and ultimately redemptive story of John Perrotta—a Rhode Island prison guard by day, stand-up comic by night. For decades, John lived two lives. On stage, he was a relentless crowd-work master, booking gigs with rising legends like Bill Burr, Lenny Clarke, Tammy Pescatelli, and Tom Cotter. Off stage, he was drowning in booze, gambling, and drugs, hitting rock bottom more times than he can count—until a near-death experience forced him to make the biggest comeback of his life.

When we look at billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg today, it’s easy to assume they were always destined for greatness. But that’s just not true. The myth of the “overnight success” is exactly that—a myth. Every one of these individuals struggled in the beginning. They faced rejection, made mistakes, worked through setbacks, and doubted themselves more than once. What separated them from the crowd wasn’t that they never failed—it’s that they kept going after they did.

From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a preteen child actress.

Although he died at a heartbreakingly young age and appeared in only a handful of movies, James Dean revolutionized American manhood. As a celebrity and icon, he melded vulnerability with determination, sensitivity with strength, in a way that offered a bracing and—for some—threatening new vision of masculinity. His massive influence and the fascination he has always inspired are inseparable from his identity as a queer man whose complex sexuality shattered the norms of midcentury American society.

Tyra Banks’s America’s Next Top Model was a cultural phenomenon with more than six million weekly viewers at its peak. Over its fifteen-year run, the show captured the glitz of the early aughts as well as its most toxic attitudes—from the glamorous but often questionable photo shoots to the cutting feedback from its highly respected if out-of-touch judges. Watching ANTM now, it feels impossible to imagine a show like this airing today, and as its fans have grown up, they’ve also begun to reckon with the enduring ways that the show has affected their body image and self-esteem.

In It’s All in the Lyrics: How Music Helped Me Heal and Find My Voice, Tony Kessel invites you on a deeply personal journey where music becomes more than background noise—it’s a transformative force that shapes his life.

Now in its 7th reprint, Sue Kim’s story is one of tragedy, imagination, luck, perseverance and the hand of God as she went from a life of wealth and privilege to displaced refugee, immigrant then super stardom as the first wave of Koreans in American. Along the way, Sue broke racial barriers on every major stage in America, from New York to Los Angeles, pitched the first baseball at a MLB opener, was feted by Elvis, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, but ultimately met and married a New Yorker, who became the longest running casino boss in America.

Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell in Love with 80s Synths is the overlooked story of how R&B, disco, and funk were transformed by the explosion of music tech in the era of ghetto blasters and Ronald Reagan. It traces how pioneers like Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock inspired a new generation of black musicians and producers to reinvent music with a whole new set of rules.

Anthony Bourdain lived loud, fast, and brilliantly—until, abruptly, he didn’t. Burnt Ends: Anthony Bourdain and the Beautiful Despair of Living Loudly is a searing biography that dismantles the public image and reconstructs the private chaos of the world’s most unlikely philosopher-chef. This is not a sanitized celebration nor a voyeuristic exposé. It’s a meticulous, emotionally rigorous autopsy of a life devoted to the restless pursuit of sensation, meaning, and escape. From the privilege of his New Jersey childhood to the junk-sick nights behind kitchen doors, from the explosive ...

The Unfinished Life of Jeff Buckley is a radically intimate biography of the beloved and often-mythologized musician whose death at age 30 left a masterpiece behind—and a life unresolved. Rather than smoothing over contradictions or polishing a posthumous legend, this biography approaches Buckley not as a symbol but as a person: ferociously gifted, emotionally volatile, and haunted by both lineage and expectation. Drawing from interviews, recordings, private notebooks, and the testimonies of those closest to him, the book reconstructs Buckley’s interior world while tracing his artistic ...

Paul and Lonnie disappear into a Rocky Mountain ghost town to decompress from a manic year in Boulder, Colorado. The town of Eldora is spectacular, serene, virtually uninhabited. Perhaps a hundred hermits are scattered throughout the mountain valley, cleaning their guns and guarding their bongs. Now twenty years old and even more determined to write his way to financial freedom, Paul hunkers down at his typewriter in his new, idyllic setting and begins banging out his first novel.
