Yksin tehty lapsi
Tietokirja itsellisestä äitiydestä ja tarina erään naisen matkasta perheeksi. Millaista on hankkia lapsi yksin? Kun Emma Taulon pitkä parisuhde päättyy, hän päättää toteuttaa haaveensa lapsesta ilman kumppania. Matka itselliseksi äidiksi ei kuitenkaan ole helppo. Millaista on lapsen odottaminen, kun rinnalla ei ole toista vanhempaa? Miten taloudelliset resurssit riittävät? Kohtaako itsellinen äiti ennakkoluuloja? Yksin tehty lapsi kuvaa samastuttavasti lapsen hankintaan, raskauteen ja vauvavuoteen liittyviä epävarmuuksia, mutta matkalle mahtuu yhtä lailla toivoa ja rakkautta. Kirja tarjoaa paljon tietoa itsellistä vanhemmuutta harkitseville, kertoo koskettavasti vanhemmaksi kasvamisesta ja ravistelee perhekäsityksiä. Emma Taulo on käsikirjoittaja, tuottaja ja elokuvantekijä. Yksin tehty lapsi on hänen ensimmäinen kirjansa.
Emma's Baby
That was how she saw him, mostly, in the weeks that followed. Standing there in the doorway with his toothy little grin, his crooked fringe, his blue fleece with the smiley elephant on the front. Life as a single mother is hard. Emma loves her thirteen-month-old son Ritchie, she really does – but sometimes, she dreams about what life would be like without him. But when Ritchie is abducted from the London Underground, Emma’s dream becomes a nightmarish reality. So why don’t the police seem to believe her? Why do they think that she would want to harm her son? If Emma wants Ritchie back, it looks like she’ll have to find him herself. She hasn’t been the best mother in the past – but she’s willing to go to desperate lengths to bring her little boy home . . .
Tess
In Tess, Tennant offers us an interpretation of Hardy's novel that places the real women in the author's life at its centre. Tess is based on Hardy's real-life obsession with a milkmaid named Augusta Way, who became the model for his tragic heroine Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and Augusta's daughter, Gertrude Bugler, who played Tess in Hardy's stage adaptation of the book. Set in the late Sixties, the spirit of the doomed Tess lives on in a pair of sisters - plain-faced Liza Lu and another dark, beautiful Tess.

Emma Watson - Truth And Lies
With the rain pouring down, blinding camera flashes going off everywhere, fans screaming for autographs and selfies, security at its tightest, and a happenstance, off-the-cuff comment to hopefully lighten an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction...who would have ever thought it would become such an intense and thought-provoking story of such impact that every fan and stargazer must read? It was not some silly teasing, the 'Lev-ee-ooo-sah' call-outs whenever Emma tried to answer a question asked at the Ivy League U.S. University, that caused her to suddenly break down in tears onboard a plane headed home to London. The reason behind her leaving mid-term had nothing to do with Hollywood calling. It was far more dire and horrifying. Something that would take the right man, the forming of a foundation to help children in Africa suffering from Nodding Disease, an extended trip to Africa, and an undeniable love affair before Emma could finally trust one person enough to reveal the frightening truth.
We'll Always Have Paris
As a bored, moody teenager, Emma Beddington came across a copy of French ELLE in the library of her austere Yorkshire school. As she turned the pages, full of philosophy, sex and lipstick, she realized that her life had one purpose and one purpose only: she needed to be French. Instead of skulking in her bedroom listening to The Smiths or trudging to Betty's Tea Room to buy fondant fancies, she would be free and solitary, sitting outside the Cafe de Flore with a Scottie dog at her feet, a Moleskine on the table and a Gauloise trembling on her lower lip.
