A close friendship is one of the most influential and important relationships a human life can contain. Anyone will tell you that! But for all the rosy sentiments surrounding friendship, most people don’t talk much about what it really takes to stay close for the long haul. Now two friends, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, tell the story of their equally messy and life-affirming Big Friendship in this honest and hilarious book that chronicles their first decade in one another’s lives. As the hosts of the hit podcast Call Your Girlfriend, they’ve become known for frank and intimate conversations. In this book, they bring that energy to their own friendship—its joys and its pitfalls. Aminatou and Ann define Big Friendship as a strong, significant bond that transcends life phases, geographical locations, and emotional shifts. And they should know: the two have had moments of charmed bliss and deep frustration, of profound connection and gut-wrenching alienation. They have weathered life-threatening health scares, getting fired from their dream jobs, and one unfortunate Thanksgiving dinner eaten in a car in a parking lot in Rancho Cucamonga. Through interviews with friends and experts, they have come to understand that their struggles are not unique. And that the most important part of a Big Friendship is making the decision to invest in one another again and again. An inspiring and entertaining testament to the power of society’s most underappreciated relationship, Big Friendship will invite you to think about how your own bonds are formed, challenged, and preserved. It is a call to value your friendships in all of their complexity. Actively choose them. And, sometimes, fight for them.

Set against a backdrop of suburban Arkansas in the simpler, bygone era of the 1980s, When Souls Come Together is a charming novel that portrays the magic, innocence and discovery of falling in love for the first time. Molly Horner is a sensitive and shy girl of 14; a plainly pretty brunette whose family has constantly been relocating from one town to the next since her mother died. Although Molly is sad to say goodbye to her best friend for the family's latest move, when she winds up in Hope, Arkansas, she's pleasantly surprised to find it's not so bad. But when Molly meets Billy Hunt, a down-to-earth 16-year-old rocker, her life is turned upside down by feelings she's never experienced before. With new friends, a new house and new love in her life for the first time, Hope may just turn out to be the light at the end of the tunnel Molly has been looking for. About the Author: Although When Souls Come Together is her first novel, Mary E. Pulido has been writing poems and short stories for more than twenty years. Having grown up as a military brat and moving from town to town during her high school years, the author was able to draw on her own real life experiences for this book. A married mother of three, when she is not working, Mary also runs a restaurant with her husband in the town of Rice, Texas, where she has lived for the past 16 years.
