Runaway Model

The ‘90s: grunge, glitz, glamor. In a decade when the parties never seemed to end, Joey Mead emerged as one of the country’s legendary fashion icons—a host, supermodel, and VJ who was living the jet-setting life that many could only dream of having. But when the lights came on and the makeup came off, she struggled with the turmoil lurking just underneath the surface. Runaway Model is the story of Joey Mead King, from her uncertain childhood in Australia to her own peaceful, triumphant reclamation of life, even as the pandemic raged around the globe. It is a memoir of the shimmering decades of Philippine fashion—starring the places and the personalities that defined that era—as well as the dark shadows that sometimes accompanied each brightly-lit scene. But most of all, it is a story about love in all its many forms—the kind that only blossoms when you begin to love yourself.

Through the Valley

The fierce close combat in the remote areas of South Vietnam's northern provinces in 1967-68--the battles of Hiep Duc, March 11, Nhi Ha, and Hill 406--has been a strangely underreported slice of the Vietnam War. Through the Valley brings those battles into sharp focus, chronicling the efforts of the proud units of the Americal Division and the 196th Light Infantry Brigade against a stubborn enemy in long-forgotten villages and on torturous hills. Colonel Humphries draws on both his own combat experience and the eyewitness reports of fifty former veterans to reconstruct what it was like to fight in Vietnam.
