San Francisco, CA – May 2, 2006, Red Wheel/Weiser Conari is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of This Is Not the Life I Ordered, a women’s interest. kitchen-table self-help title co-authored by four Californian women: Deborah Collins Stephens, Michealene Cristini Risley, Jackie Speier, and Jan Yanehiro. The book is scheduled to publish in Spring 2007.
Publisher Jan Johnson said, “When I first met Jan Yanehiro, we hadn't yet set up our San Francisco office. Brenda Knight, our associate publisher, introduced us over a pre-holiday late lunch. Jan brought us fuzzy red socks, and an enthusiasm for asking questions equaled only by her belief in the project that she, Jackie, Deborah, and Michealene have been working on for years. These are high-powered women. They've done a lot and a lot of really bad stuff has happened to them. Through it all they've been meeting around kitchen tables, trying to make sense of things. That struck a deep, small town chord for me--women hanging out, figuring things out. Only these women are a bestselling author, an Emmy-award winner, an entrepreneur, and a California State Senator, who's running for statewide office. I was smitten. I knew I wanted This Is Not the Life I Ordered to be one of our first west coast publishing office contracts. We’re putting a high five-figure publicity budget behind a planned 25,000-copy first printing. This is a book I think all kinds of women will respond to.”
They were simply four women whom destiny threw together over a decade ago. Collectively, they experienced the extreme joys and deep sorrows that life offers up. From mundane moments to the dramatic and surreal, the authors have a history of six marriages, ten children, four stepchildren, six dogs, two miscarriages, two cats, a failed adoption, widowhood, and foster parenthood. They have built companies, lost companies, and sold companies. One of them was shot and left for dead on a tarmac in South America, and two lived through the deaths of spouses. Raising babies and teenagers together, they have known celebrity and success along with loneliness and self-doubt.
