Today was Good Morning America’s session with relationship counselor Cheryl Dellasega, whose latest is Forced to Be Family: A Guide for Living with Sinister Sisters, Drama Mamas, and Infuriating In-Laws (Wiley, $24.95). From PW’s review: “Chock-full of real-life, victim-oriented stories by complaining women, Dellasega's latest is based on the idea that no one can hurt a woman more than a member of her own family, especially if the aggressor is female.”
Tonight on 20/20, presidential daughter Jenna Bush shares Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope (HarperCollins, $18.99; HarperChildrensAudio abridged CD, $21.95).
Authors on Book TV this weekend:
Norman Podhoretz, author of World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism (Doubleday, $24.95). PW found it “an impassioned defense of President Bush's foreign policy, gleefully attacking those on the left and the right who harbor suspicions that Bush fils is less than infallible. Podhoretz's take-no-prisoners writing style will delight his partisans while infuriating his ideological opponents.”
Talk show host and bestseller Laura Ingraham offered Power to the People (Regnery, $27.95; Recorded Books CD, $34.99).
Anita Thompson, author of The Gonzo Way: A Celebration of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (Fulcrum, $14.95).
This weekend, XM’s Costas on the Radio hosts Deanna Favre, author of Don't Bet Against Me! Beating the Odds Against Breast Cancer and In Life (Tyndale House, $22.99), which pubs on Monday in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. On Monday, she will appear on Fox & Friends.
On Sunday, NPR’s Weekend Edition interviews Chuck Feeney, subject of Conor O’Clery’s book The Billionaire Who Wasn’t: How Chuck Feeney Made and Gave Away a Fortune Without Anyone Knowing (PublicAffairs, $26.95). It’s billed as the first radio interview Feeney has ever consented to.
