Описание: "Leavitt has crafted an irresistible portrait of midlife ennui and the magic of breaking free." -People "With or Without You is a moving novel about twists of fate, the shifting terrain of love, and coming into your own. With tenderness and incisive insight, Leavitt spotlights a woman's unexpected journey towards her art." -Madeline Miller, author of CirceA Best Book of the Month: Bustle * PopSugar New York Times bestselling author Caroline Leavitt writes novels that expertly explore the struggles and conflicts that people face in their search for happiness.

Stella is a nurse who has long suppressed her own needs and desires to nurture the dreams of her partner, Simon, the bass player for a rock band that has started to lose its edge. But when Stella gets unexpectedly ill and falls into a coma just as Simon is preparing to fly with his band to Los Angeles for a gig that could revive his career, Simon must learn the meaning of sacrifice, while Stella's best friend, Libby, a doctor who treats Stella, must also make a difficult choice as the coma wears on. When Stella at last awakes from her two-month sleep, she emerges into a striking new reality where Simon and Libby have formed an intense bond, and where she discovers that she has acquired a startling artistic talent of her own: the ability to draw portraits of people in which she captures their innermost feelings and desires.
Stella's whole identity, but also her role in her relationships, has been scrambled, and she has the chance to form a new life, one she hadn't even realised she wanted. A story of love, loyalty, loss, and resilience, With or Without You is a page-turner that asks the question, What do we owe the other people in our lives, and when does the cost become too great?

Описание: St. Elizabeths has been a mental health hospital in Washington, D.C., since 1852, when it was established by the United States Congress as the Government Hospital for the Insane. St. Elizabeths, along with other hospitals, experienced rapid expansion in its first century, hitting a peak of almost eight thousand patients by the 1960s. Deinstitutionalization in the second half of the twentieth century emptied out the historic buildings on campus. This well-illustrated book follows an exhibition at the National Building Museum, tracing the hospital's evolution over time, highlighting the ways that this specialized architecture and landscape served the mentally ill. It continues the story of St. Elizabeths, a National Historic Landmark, through its current redevelopment as a federal campus and mixed-use neighborhood.

Описание:
Have you ever lied to the fire chief? Have you ever pantsed yourself in front of your teacher? Have you ever hit yourself in the face with a baseball bat? Have you ever jumped your bike into a tree, felt like school was the worst place on earth, or secretly felt that it was only a matter of time before you finally let everyone down? Have you felt like a fraud, quit too easily, or impulsively spoken words you would later regret? Ted has too. See if you can relate.
Operating on the belief that people need to feel that we are all fellow travellers, Ted unravels a long and winding tangle of experiences that led to a discovery that changed his life in many ways. In doing so, his goal is to help the reader see that being different doesn't have to mean being alone.
Follow along with Ted as he takes you on journey that is sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, but always intensely personal. Raised in a family where ADHD was the norm, Ted did not discover the explanation for his pattern of impulsive behavior, disorganization, forgetfulness and chronic underachievement until he was in graduate school. Described as a "view inside a therapy session," Ted's story unveils not only the surface-level struggles and complications that arise from having a brain wired for chaos, but delves deeper into the fallout that comes from always being the kid who was standing when everyone else was sitting.
