Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Buellerâs Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon, and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. đïž But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities. đ

NEW RELEASE | Sports Biography | by Allen Iverson đ
A compelling and candid memoir from Allen Iverson, the NBAâs most misunderstood Hall of Famer, detailing his tough childhood in Virginia, his entry into the league as the number one overall pick, and his controversial, culture-changing pro basketball career. đ
In Misunderstood, Allen Iverson shares in searing clarity and touching candor his meteoric rise from impoverished child in the Virginia projects to high school champion to Georgetown University protĂ©gĂ© of legendary coach John Thompson, and finally to NBA All-Star and Reebokâs Vice President of Basketball. đ
Allen Iverson is a household nameâBoomers and Gen Xers watched his decades-long run as a scrappy, tenacious basketball player on the Philadelphia 76ers who redefined the sportâs style (both fashion-wise and playing-wise), while millennials and Gen Zers are perhaps more familiar with his Reebok lineâs resurgence in popularity, his callout in Post Maloneâs viral hit âWhite Iverson,â and for being the namesake of Kendall Royâs son on Succession. đ” Part athletic legend, part fashion icon, part hip-hop muse, Iverson was one of the first celebrities to fuse lifestyle, culture, and sports. đ
But while everyone may know his name, few have seen behind the curtain on Iversonâs tumultuous life. đ Misunderstood lifts the veil and brings you into the mind of the pugnacious, ultra-talented misfit whose foremost goal, more than fame or fortune, was always to lift his family and friends out of poverty and violence. đȘ In his memoir, Iverson explores how he completely shattered the mold dictating what an NBA star could be in the 1990s and 2000s, all while dealing with legal troubles and personal traumas that only contributed to his sense of individualism and star power. âĄ
This is the unforgettable story of a trailblazer who not only changed the game of basketball but rewrote the rules of what it means to rise, fall, and rise again while staying unapologetically true to himself. đ„
Why Iâm including this: Allen IversonââThe Answerââwas one of the most electrifying and controversial players in NBA history, and this BRAND NEW memoir finally tells his side of the story! đ AI went from the Virginia projects to being the #1 overall pick, but he was never what the NBA establishment wanted: he had cornrows, tattoos, wore baggy clothes, and brought hip-hop culture to a sport that wasnât ready for it. The famous âpracticeâ rant became a meme, but behind it was a complicated man dealing with poverty, violence, legal troubles, and being constantly misunderstood. đ€ Iversonâs âforemost goal was to lift his family and friends out of povertyââthatâs the heart of this story. He literally changed what an NBA star could look like and act like, paving the way for players like LeBron and Curry to be cultural icons beyond basketball. From Post Maloneâs âWhite Iversonâ to Succession references to Reebokâs massive comeback, AIâs influence is everywhere. Perfect for basketball fans, anyone interested in sports and culture intersecting, or readers who loved Andre Agassiâs Open. This is cultural history! đš
Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism
Author: Vittert, Leland
NEW RELEASE | Autism Biography | by Leland Vittert đ§©
In a world quick to label, judge, and box in people, one father and son stood firm and refused to be defined by an autism diagnosis. đ
If youâre channel surfing and happen upon Leland Vittert during his nightly national cable show on NewsNation, he comes off as a poised journalist prying nuggets from guests. đș If you watched him for years as an anchor at Fox News Channel, you saw him on the battlefields of the Middle East, the anchor desk, and the White House North Lawn. No one, including friends and co-workers, has ever known his full life story and how miraculous it was to get to that point. đ
Leland was a socially awkward boy who didnât speak for years, and when he finally did, teachers and leaders declared him âweird.â đ His unique behavior and inability to connect with his peers made him a frequent target for bullying and exclusion. In one particularly harsh moment, a school principal bluntly told his parents, âThe people here think Leland is pretty weird. I guess I do, too.â Those words felt like being shot with an arrow, as his parents sat in stunned silence, grappling with their own fears and uncertainties for their sonâs future. đ
From a young age, Leland showed signs of being Autistic, a term rarely used at the time, struggling with social cues, communication, and behavioral norms that came naturally to other kids. đ§ The diagnosis didnât deter his father, Mark. He knew the world wouldnât change for Leland, so he quit his job and began changing Leland for the world. đȘ He became a full-time parent-coach, training Leland and teaching him the skills he needed to navigate in society. Simple concepts like eye contact, understanding humor, and instilling motivations had to be taught painstakingly. From hundreds of pushups at age 7 to toughen him against bullies, to coaching him through complex social interactions, Markâs relentless dedication changed the trajectory of Lelandâs life. đïž
Born Lucky offers an intimate look into their inspiring journey. đ Leland lays bare his experiences of the crushing bullying during middle and high school, the sting of rejection continuing into college, and his ultimate transformation into an esteemed journalist. But above all, this book is a love letter from a grateful son, who despite his diagnosis, trusted his father and defied all odds. đ
It offers hope to every parent and every child who is grappling with their own unique challenges, to be inspired to break labels, tear down the walls that society builds, and create a better future. âš
Why Iâm including this: This BRAND NEW memoir is simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiringâa school principal telling parents their kid is âweirdâ is devastating, but watching father Mark quit his job to become full-time parent-coach is extraordinary dedication! đšâđŠ Leland Vittert is now a national news anchor on NewsNation and formerly Fox News, reporting from war zones and the White House, but NO ONE knew he was autistic or that he didnât speak for years as a child. The âhundreds of pushups at age 7 to toughen him against bulliesâ detail shows how intensive Markâs training wasâliterally teaching eye contact, humor, and social navigation step by step. đȘ This isnât just an autism story; itâs about a fatherâs love refusing to accept limitations, and a sonâs trust in that process. At a time when autism diagnoses are more common but understanding is still limited, this memoir offers hope and practical insight. Perfect for parents of neurodivergent children, educators, or anyone whoâs ever felt like they didnât fit in. The title âBorn Luckyâ reframes the entire narrativeâlucky to have Mark as a father! đđ
