Running on Empty will help them realize that they're suffering not because of something that happened to them in childhood, but because of something that didn't happen. It's the white space in their family picture, the background rather than the foreground. This will be the first self-help book to bring this invisible force to light, educate people about it, and teach them how to overcome it.

The story of Motown Records and how it changed the course of American music, as told by its founder—“an African American culture hero of historic stature” (The New York Times). Berry Gordy Jr., who once considered becoming a boxer, started a record company with a family loan of $800 in 1959. Gordy’s company, Motown Records, went on to create some of the most popular music of all time. By the time he sold the company nearly thirty years later, it was worth $61 million and had produced musical legends including Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and the Jackson 5. Here, the revolutionary who shattered the color barrier in the American entertainment industry and forever changed the way the world hears music, shares his story of ambition and vision. From humble beginnings, Gordy amassed a fortune and became a musical kingmaker in the cultural heydays of the 1960s and ’70s. Quelling rumors and detailing his relationships with the artists he managed, Gordy pens “a vivid recreation of a great period and a seminal company in popular music” (Kirkus Reviews).
Loyalty and respect – that’s what Ivory Gaye built his business and his family on. In part one of ‘Loved by a Memphis Hoodlum,’ Ivory commits the worst betrayal of all. Part two picks up with the Gaye sisters dealing with their father’s actions in different ways. For Ives, she’s focused on her life and her man... refusing to let her father cause any more havoc in her life. For Wren, she’s focused on proving to her father that she’s worthy of the throne in Ives’ place. For Maverick, she’s focused on the consistent mental battle of good versus evil. Revenge versus karma. Love and life versus death. Three different sisters, three different reactions and one betrayal, far greater than their father’s, that threatens to pull the family and their relationships with the Humphreys brothers even further apart.
