Teaser
On April 13, 1986, 10-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters. Just over a decade later, chants of “Ti-ger, Ti-ger!” ring out as the 21-year-old wins his first Green Jacket. He blazes an incredible path, winning 14 major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he’s 33, smashing records and raising standards. Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries. The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. “YouTube golfer” is how his two children know their father --- winless since 2013 --- until he wins the 2019 Masters, his 15th major, before their eyes. But the story doesn’t end there. TIGER, TIGER is the first full-scale Woods biography of the decade.

Warning: If you’re married, or planning to be, this book could make you feel very, very defensive. That doesn’t mean you’ll dislike it. So intimate a family portrait is seductive; it almost turns you into a voyeur, peeking inside one couple’s fraught, airless household. Divorce seems inevitable, yet there is suspense, too, because you don’t know exactly how and when the marriage will disintegrate. It’s a slow-motion train wreck. Read More

But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims and ego; in short, she becomes a wife. As Jane’s career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her.

About the Book
An “eviscerating” (The New York Times) novel about being a wife, a mother and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all --- from the author of VERY COLD PEOPLE and 300 ARGUMENTS.
A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I’d always known that. But I’d never suspected how easily I’d fall into one anyway.
