For decades — in China and in San Francisco — Winnie Louie and Helen Kwong have kept each other's confidences, but those secrets are about to be revealed. Convinced that she is dying, Helen decides to celebrate the Chinese New Year by unburdening herself of hidden truths — not only hers, but those of Winnie and of Winnie's daughter, Pearl.

For decades, a quartet of Chinese women who have emigrated to San Francisco gather to eat dim sum, play mahjong, and talk—they call themselves the Joy Luck Club. Over the years, their stories have informed the lives of four daughters who feel the weight of family and world history on their shoulders. With wit and sensitivity, this novel explores the deep, complicated, and sometimes painful connections between mothers and daughters.

Skinny B---h created a movement when it exposed the horrors of the food industry and inspired people across the world to stop eating “crap." The "b---hes" are back yet again—this time with advice to pregnant women. And just because their audience is in a "delicate condition" doesn't mean they deliver a gentle message. With the same sassy tone that made Skinny B---h laugh-out-loud funny, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin give expectant moms the information they need to use their heads and maintain a healthy pregnancy.
