Me and sister Bobbie : true tales of the family band / by Nelson, Willie,1933-author.; Nelson, Bobbie,author.; Ritz, David,author.;
"Abandoned by their parents as toddlers, Willie and Bobbie Nelson found their love of music almost immediately through their grandparents, who raised them in a dusty small town in east Texas. Their close relationship--which persists today--is the longest-lasting bond in either of their lives. In alternating chapters, this heartfelt dual memoir weaves together their lives as they experienced them both side-by-side and apart with powerful, emotional stories from growing up, playing music in public for the first time, and the trials they each faced in adulthood as Willie pursued a songwriting career and Bobbie faced a series of challenging relationships and a musical career that only took off when attitudes about women began to change in Texas. Bobbie, a longtime member of Willie's band, shares her life story in full here for the first time in deeply affecting chapters about her personal relationships and life as a mother and a musician with technical skills that even Willie admits surpass his own. Willie and Bobbie supported each other through unthinkable personal tragedies, and they always shared in each other's triumphs. Through dizzying highs and traumatic lows, including abusive relationships, the loss of children, and the heights of their separate and shared musical careers, Willie and Bobbie have always had each other's back. Their story is a poignant, lyrical statement of how family always finds the way"--

What I ate in one year : (and related thoughts) / by Tucci, Stanley,author.;
"Sharing food is one of the purest human acts." Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to homemade pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in 'What I Ate in One Year', Tucci records twelve months of eating--in restaurants and kitchens, on film sets and press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouthwateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life and his family are constantly evolving. Through food, he marks--and mourns--the passing of time and the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come. Whether it's canard à la orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days. 'What I Ate in One Year' is a funny, poignant, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying serving of memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role that food plays in all our lives.
