Her life was picture perfect…until it wasn’t.

What happens when a twist of fate makes all your dreams come true, and then you watch your life unravel before you?

Eight years ago, Kylie Madison was a new mother with a baby who rarely slept, even at eight months old. Exhausted and feeling isolated as a stay-home mom while her husband, Jordon, worked twelve-hour shifts, she opened up to her few friends on Instagram late one night, asking if there were any other tired moms out there struggling. To her surprise, many women answered her. After that night, she began to share her struggles, successes, and parenting dilemmas, and her following grew as other women feel a connection with her. Before Kylie knew it, she’s become an influencer and companies are willing to pay her to promote their products. Slowly, her life becomes her job and the earnings are amazing. But every silver lining has a dark cloud on the horizon.

Eight years later, Kylie is successful and on the verge of becoming a lifestyle guru with her own television show, but her past sneaks up to threaten to take it all away. Her children hate being a part of their mother’s brand, and her husband is pulling away from her. Then, the girl who once worked for her as a nanny has written a tell-all book about Kylie and her family, exposing secrets about their lifestyle that will ruin her. And there’s nothing Kylie can do to stop her. Or is there?

Rachel’s request for a quick and clean divorce enraged her husband. She’d never seen Eric so angry, so consumed by pure and terrifying hatred. Then, in the heat of the moment, Eric was killed in a traffic accident. Shocked and relieved, Rachel had nothing left to fear. Until Eric’s body disappeared from the morgue—and suddenly, Rachel is being stalked by someone who looks just like her dead husband.

Join “America’s funniest science writer” (Peter Carlson, Washington Post), Mary Roach, on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet.

What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.

Roach tags along with animal-attack forensics investigators, human-elephant conflict specialists, bear managers, and “danger tree” faller blasters. Intrepid as ever, she travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter’s Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. She taste-tests rat bait, learns how to install a vulture effigy, and gets mugged by a macaque.

Combining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and trespassing squirrels, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature’s lawbreakers. When it comes to “problem” wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problem—and the solution. Fascinating, witty, and humane, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat.
