A difficult story is any story whose content makes it challenging to tell or difficult to hear. Told for the wrong reasons, it can be as painful for the listener as for the teller. But as we know from literature and media from Sophie’s Choice to The Sixth Sense, told properly, a difficult story can powerfully alter not only he who tells it, but those who hear it.

“A blissfully eccentric, fiction-enhanced memoir. . . . His prose buzzes with wonder, fearlessness and ecstatic ignorance: the sensations of youth. Each chapter is an epic in miniature.”—Hugo Lindgren, The New York Times Magazine“Haunting and glorious . . . Niemi’s finest achievement is to have created a world poised between an adult’s fantastic memories of childhood and a child’s naïve dreams of his future.

With Mr. Peabody’s Apples, her gorgeous sophomore venture into the realm of children’s literature, Madonna sustains her transformation from material girl to mom.

As a frequent target of the rumor mill, who better to teach the young ones about the "power of words" and their potential to cause "harm to others" than the newly reformed diva? Set in a tiny American town, Madonna’s story features the big-hearted and much beloved Mr. Peabody, an
