And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah

Written and curated by Alicia Mariah Elfving, founder of TheMotoLady.com and the Women’s Motorcycle Show, and arguably the most notable advocate for women in the motorcycling hobby, The MotoLady's Book of Women Who Ride subverts all the tired women-and-motorcycle tropes, offering the true stories of the women past and present who ride and wrench as well as anyone, proving every bit as indispensable to maintaining and growing a positive motorcycling culture. Historically, depictions of women in motorcycle culture tend to objectify—from the outlaw motorcycle club “biker babe” to cheesecake photography to posturing celebrities with motorcycles as props. The truth is much different. From the early days of motorcycle culture more than 100 years ago, women have played a central role in making the motorcycle a legitimate form of transportation, recreation, and motorsport. Elfving presents more than 70 figures in the motorcycle world, from the Americas to Europe and even the Middle East and South Asia—stunt riders, racers, builders, customizers, organizers, and more. Elfving links today’s women motorcyclists with those of the past and illustrates the freedom represented by two wheels, and how motorcycles allow women to transcend cultural expectations confidently. You'll meet riders such as: Sofi Tsingos, who raises money for charities by building and auctioning motorcycles. Safety ambassador Brittany Morrow, who found her calling after surviving a high-speed crash with no gear. The Van Buren sisters, who in 1916 were among the first motorcyclists to ride coast to coast and the first women to ride to the summit of Pikes Peak. The late Jessi Combs, an iconic TV personality, metal fabricator, and land-speed record holder. Overwhelmingly positive, Elfving instills confidence and can-do rather than providing an echo chamber of common complaints among women in motorcycling. In addition, The MotoLady's Book of Women Who Ride is illustrated throughout with contemporary and historical photos of the author’s subjects, comprising a beautiful as well as inspiring package.

Susan Choi’s Trust Exercise meets Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity in a Black woman’s coming-of-age story, chronicling a life-changing friendship, the interplay between music fandom and identity, and the slipperiness of sanity Set in the suburbs of Los Angeles and New York City, I Love You So Much It’s Killing Us Both is an immersive journey into the life and mind of Khaki Oliver, who’s perennially trying to disappear into something: a codependent friendship, an ill-advised boyfriend, the punk scene, or simply, the ether. These days it’s a meaningless job and a comfortingly empty apartment. Then, after a decade of estrangement, she receives a letter from her former best friend. Fiona’s throwing a party for her newly adopted daughter and wants Khaki to join the celebration. Khaki is equal parts terrified and tempted to reconnect. Their platonic love was confusing, all-consuming, and encouraged their worst impulses. While stalling her RSVP, Khaki starts crafting the perfect mixtape—revisiting memories of formative shows, failed romances, and the ups and downs of desire and denial—while weighing the risks and rewards of saying yes to Fiona again. One song at a time, from 1980s hardcore to 2010s emo, the shared and separate contours of each woman’s mind come into focus. Will listening to the same old songs on repeat doom Khaki to a lonely life of arrested development? Or will hindsight help her regain her sense of self and pave a healthy path for the future, with or without Fiona?

« Une reine résiliente, profondément touchante et très drôle. » The New York Times « Il m’a fallu une vie pour trouver le courage d’écrire mon autobiographie. Je veux raconter les moments – les hauts et les bas, les triomphes et les traumas, les débâcles et les rêves – qui ont contribué à faire de moi la personne que je suis aujourd’hui. Même s’il y a eu d’innombrables histoires sur mon compte tout au long de ma carrière et ma vie très publique, il était impossible de communiquer les complexités et la profondeur de mon expérience dans un seul article de magazine ou en une interview de dix minutes. Mes mots étaient systématiquement filtrés par la perception de quelqu’un d’autre. Ce livre est composé de mes souvenirs, mes combats, ma survie et mes chansons. Sans filtre. Je me suis plongée loin dans mon enfance et j’ai donné à la petite fille effrayée en moi une voix forte. J’ai laissé l’adolescente abandonnée et ambitieuse donner sa version, et la femme trahie et triomphante sa vérité. Écrire cette autobiographie fut très difficile mais cela m’a apporté humilité et guérison. Mon espoir le plus sincère est que vous en tiriez une nouvelle compréhension, non seulement de moi, mais aussi de la résilience de l’esprit humain. Love, Mariah »
Mariah Carey ist eine globale Ikone, gefeierte Sängerin, Songwriterin, Produzentin, Schauspielerin und Mutter. Erstmals erzählt sie ihre ungefilterte Geschichte: Von ihrem Aufwachsen in schwierigen Verhältnissen zwischen Rassismus und Gewalt, ihrer Liebe zur Musik, ihrem Aufstieg als Sängerin, dem Zwiespalt zwischen glamourösem Popstar und dem ständigen Erwartungsdruck anderer – und schließlich von ihrer Entwicklung hin zu einer freien und selbstbestimmten Frau. Es hat eine lange Zeit gedauert, bis ich den Mut und die Klarheit aufbringen konnte, meine Autobiografie zu schreiben. Ich wollte eine Geschichte der Momente erzählen, die mich zu der Person gemacht haben, die ich heute bin – der Höhen und Tiefen, der Triumphe und Erschütterungen, der Katastrophen und der Träume. Auch wenn es im Verlauf meiner Karriere und meines sehr öffentlichen Privatlebens unzählige Geschichten über mich gab, ist es unmöglich die Vielschichtigkeit und Tiefen meiner eigenen Erfahrungen in einem einzelnen Magazin-Artikel oder einem zehnminütigen TV-Interview zu vermitteln. Und selbst wenn das einigermaßen gelang, wurden meine Worte immer durch die Augen einer anderen Person gefiltert, hauptsächlich, um dem Wunsch nach einem bestimmten Bild von mir nachzukommen. Dieses Buch entstand aus meinen Erinnerungen, meinen Fehltritten, meinen Kämpfen, meinem Überleben und meinen Songs. Ungefiltert. Ich bin tief eingetaucht in meine Kindheitserinnerungen und habe dem verängstigten kleinen Mädchen in mir eine Stimme gegeben. Ich habe die einsame und ehrgeizige Jugendliche sprechen und die betrogene und erfolgreiche Frau, die ich geworden bin, ihre Geschichte erzählen lassen. Diese Autobiografie zu schreiben, war unglaublich hart und heilsam und machte mich demütig. Meine ernsthafte Hoffnung ist, dass auch ihr bewegt werdet zu einem neuen Verständnis nicht nur von mir, sondern auch von der Unerschütterlichkeit des menschlichen Geistes. In Liebe, Mariah
