The truth according to Ember / by Nava, Danica,author.;
"A Native American woman who can't catch a break serves up a little white lie that snowballs into much more in this witty and entertaining rom-com by debut author Danica Nava. Ember Lee Cardinal has not always been a liar, not for anything that counted. But when her résumé is rejected thirty-seven times, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets creative listing her work experience and answers the ethnicity question on all job applications with a lie. No one wanted Native American Ember, but Caucasian Ember landed her dream accounting job on Park Avenue (Oklahoma). Accountant Ember thrives in corporate life-and her love life seems to be looking up, too: She starts to secretly date the IT guy and fellow Native, Danuwoa. But when they're caught in a compromising position on a work trip, a scheming mid-level executive threatens to expose them unless Ember manipulates the company's accounting books for him. Unwilling to allow Danuwoa to get fired and lose the financial support he needs for his sister, Ember agrees. As the blackmail continues to grow, so do Ember's lies. She must make the hard decision to either stay silent or finally tell the truth, which could cost her everything"--

Cat and Nat's mom truths : embarrassing stories and brutally honest advice on the extremely real struggle of motherhood / by Belknap, Catherine,author.; Telfer, Natalie,author.;
"Candid, hilarious, and maybe just a bit R-rated, YouTube sensations Cat & Nat share their stories and insights to lift moms when they're feeling low, reassure them when they're overwhelmed, and make them laugh like they're talking to their own best friend. With seven kids between them, Cat and Nat know a thing or two about parenting. They've connected with their fans by sharing their completely real take on the stress, guilt, and joy of being moms, covering everything from sleep (or a lack thereof) to the hilarity (and struggle) of family vacations. They let us in on the hard stuff, and make us laugh with their Mom Truths; you may not have realized why clubbing is the best preparation for having kids, but they have! (Because the night always ends up with someone random in your bed and a girl crying in the corner.) Loosely structured around the stages of being a mom, Mom Truths features never-before-told stories from Cat's and Nat's lives. Short and digestible for a crazed parent, Mom Truths is peppered with advice and insights. Their goal is to help moms let go of their guilt. And their method is humour. Cat's and Nat's individual voices and the feeling of their close, no-holds-barred friendship is captured on the page, making this the essential companion for moms who feel overwhelmed, and are in need of an honest, funny pick-me-up."--

Professional troublemaker : the fear fighter manual / by Ajayi Jones, Luvvie,author.;
"With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her inspiring and professional troublemaking grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle. The point is not to be fearless. It is to know we are afraid and to charge forward regardless, to recognize the things we must do are more significant than the things we are afraid to do. This book shows you how she's done it, and how you can, too"--
