The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller'Deborah James has captured the heart of the nation' - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge @KensingtonRoyal'Brave, bright, beautiful' - Lorraine Kelly'Deborah's ability to find positivity in the darkest of places is an inspiration to us all' - Davina McCall'This book has shaken me awake. I gulped it down in one sitting, then sat and cried... [But] hope is a character on every single page' - Christie WatsonI was alive when I should have been dead. In another movie, I missed the sliding door and departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many others, I had to learn to live not knowing if I have a tomorrow, because, statistically, I didn't. At the age of 35, I was blindsided by incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8 per cent chance of surviving five years. Five years later, my only option was to live in the now and to value one day at a time.How do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into realistic and rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise that 'why not me' is just as valid a question? When Deborah James was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer at just 35, she learned a powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers or destroys us. And with the right skills and approach, we can all face huge challenges and find strength and hope in the darkest of places. How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show you how. It will awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a tomorrow and live it in the way you want to today. By harnessing the power of positivity and valuing each day as though it could be your last, you'll find out, as Deborah did, that it is possible to live with joy and purpose, no matter what.

Allison Bentley is a top-flight technology consultant working with a large, very old-fashioned accounting firm in Chicago. The fact that she's gay as well as non-American (she's Australian) is already a cause of friction with some of the partners and when she reports to the partners that they are technologically out of date and facing future difficulties staying in business, the anger she causes results in her being dismissed. But Allison joins up with a small, modern accounting firm in the city and the combination of the talents she and her new partners have leads to extraordinary growth, much of it at the expense of her old employers. The tensions in her old firm as the partners see their business and livelihoods dying cause such panic that all their normal standards of human behaviour are abandoned as they try and stop Allison and her new partners from destroying them. Eventually, there is only one, violent, bloody outcome possible.

This book gives an account of how migrant women, whose lives and experiences have heretofore been neglected in the pages of academic scholarship, dance and sing the vibrant and expressive musical style of kiba. In so doing, they build an identity as autonomous breadwinners whose aspirations and values are nonetheless rooted in 'tradition'.

In no other society in the world have urbanisation and industrialisation been as comprehensively based on migrant labour as in South Africa. Rather than focusing on displacement and oppression, A Long Way Home captures the humanity, agency and creative modes of self-expression of the millions of workers who helped to build and shape modern South Africa.

She causes anger in some partners by her criticisms of the firm's obsolete technology and business practices and she is fired.
