From childhood family day trips to Loch Lomond, to her days as TVam's roving correspondent, Lorraine Kelly has covered the length and breadth of Scotland. But certain special places tug at her heartstrings and lure her back time and time again. Traveling to the highlands and islands and all her favorite places in between, this is Lorraine's personal journey around her beautiful and beguiling country. Each and every stop gives rise to fascinating stories and memories along the way, from her adopted home of Dundee to the wild and remote islands of St. Kilda. She revisits childhood haunts in Glasgow, indulges in a spot of whisky-tasting on the island of Islay, and reveals what led her to once arrive in Edinburgh pushing a pram and wearing a pair of roller skates. She rediscovers the joys of the natural wilderness in the Highlands, visits a dramatic Viking fire festival in Shetland, and recalls the week she and her family spent hunting the Loch Ness monster. Beautifully illustrated with stunning original photographs, Lorraine Kelly's Scotland is a celebration of a gloriously diverse country with a deep and rich heritage, told with all Lorraine's characteristic warmth and humor.

Lily Allen. I am a mother, and I was a wife. I'm also a singer and a songwriter. I have loved and been let down. I've been stalked and assaulted. I am a success and a failure. I've been broken and full of hope. I am all these things and more. I'm telling my truth because when women share their stories, loudly and clearly and honestly, things begin to change - for the better. So, this is my story. These are my thoughts exactly. **Includes an exclusive new chapter**
With her urban prom-queen style and West London punk attitude, Lily Allen is recognised worldwide as much for her quirky image and party-girl reputation as her music. Lily's meteoric rise to fame has been peppered with extreme highs and lows – no lower than when she tragically suffered a miscarriage in 2008. This, like every step of Lily's life, is charted in this new biography.

In this unique memoir, Primetime CNN anchor Don Lemon takes readers behind the scenes of journalism, detailing his own struggle to become one of the most prominent African American men in television news—and inside some of the biggest stories of our times.

Now, after a short and turbulent tenure in the White House, Steve Bannon is working on the outside to propel forward his populist agenda even when it puts him at odds with the Trump administration. Unafraid to speak the truth and unwilling to back down, Bannon has made headlines in recent months for slamming the Trump administration's approach to North Korea and China, backing controversial Senate candidate Roy Moore at all costs, and calling members of Trump's circle—including Trump's son Don Jr. and his son-in-law Jared Kushner—"treasonous" for meeting...
