Oprah Winfrey has selected "Matriarch," a memoir by Tina Knowles, as her latest book club pick. The personal memoir details Knowles' life journey from growing up in segregated Texas to raising music superstars Beyoncé and Solange.
During an appearance on "CBS Mornings," Winfrey praised the memoir for its intimate yet universal appeal.
"What you did is what I think is so hard to do when you're writing a memoir, and that is to tell your story intimately, personally, but also make it universal," Winfrey told Knowles. "I believe everybody who has a mother, and everybody who is a mother is going to love this story."

Music is the star attraction at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, which opens Wednesday evening in New York City. The subject of numerous documentary and narrative films, music will also be a live feature at this particularly festive festival, with some artists performing mini-concerts in conjunction with film premieres.

Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
