Marie Osmond Starts 'Behind the Smile' Book Tour
With the release of her new book, "Behind the Smile: My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression," Marie Osmond is starting a book tour to promote the book, which she says is meant to help those suffering from similar depression.

New Products: Mothers Day Books
Publishers have their mother's day products out in time for the holiday this weekend. Last week we mentioned some of them: "Listen to Your Mother" and "The Kindness Handbook." This week there are several more, including "The Little Book of Big Ideas about Mothers," and a new edition of Lucy Mack Smith's account of her life. The Smith account, available in a new critical edition that includes her complete manuscript, should give readers a new view of the Prophet Joseph Smith's mother and the events in his life.

Bestsellers: Behind the Smile Back Again
Marie Osmond's book about her struggle with postpartum depression, "Behind the Smile" is on the bestseller lists for a second week, but is on a different list this time, the Barnes & Noble Top 100. Last week's list showed an initial surge of sales at Amazon.com, and it could be that the book will remain on the bestseller lists for a while, given Osmond's appearance on Oprah and the article about the book that appeared in the women's magazine Good Houskeeping.
