Alina has red hair, green eyes and an extraordinary intelligence: at the age of two, she can already read and count. She loves to surgically dissect the world around her and listen to the stories that her grandfather Giuseppe tells her, as they wander through the alleys and rocky coastline of Polignano. Hers is an atypical childhood, always poised between genius and discomfort, skipped life stages and looming bullying. Because she is always the youngest one, the best one, the strongest and most fragile one at the same time. A fish out of water with intellectual and sensory "superpowers", with depression and anorexia always lurking. Until Nicola arrives to break her crystal ball. A love that is as strong as it is socially unacceptable and that will mark the beginning of her real life, of her forced growth, of her precocious blossoming into a strong woman, capable of loving and suffering. This is the story of Alina and of her way of being, living with Asperger's syndrome, in a crescendo of emotions "differently" felt between Polignano, Milan and Paris, to then return to the starting point: the twelfth room.

Incest denial and sexual assaults disrupt a young woman's solo spiritual quest and her two romantic adventures in India in 1990-91. Two decades later, after profound healing, she's resilient at mid-life. Finding the love and intimacy she craves, she can, at last, forgive her dying father--and her mom, for her decades of silence. Unlike many stories of healing and spiritual discovery, No Letter in Your Pocket avoids predictable recovery rhetoric and insular victimhood. Instead, it is a testament to thriving empowerment.

"Since the first edition of The Bob Dylan Albums appeared in 2002, there have been seven new Bob Dylan studio albums and fifteen archival collections. The latter have included the complete studio recordings for the famed 1965-1966 sessions, the entirety of the Basement Tapes recordings, a Blood on the Tracks box set and several complete concerts from the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue, released to coincide with director Martin Scorsese's acclaimed 2019 film Rolling Thunder Revue. And 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the release of Dylan's first studio album. Dylan's body of work is vast; this second edition is the most complete and up to date study of all of Dylan's official albums, presented in an accessible, highly readable fashion"--

The two true life stories contained in Tenacity span decades -- and two worlds, Australia and Britain. Told through the painful words of mothers Julie Rose and Marilyn Cowell (as recorded by her daughters, Michelle and Sarah), this compelling read has no sugar coating as it takes you through Julie's and Marilyn's struggle to get their sons off drugs ? and the tragedies that ensue. These stories highlight the harrowing fact that addiction can happen to anyone and can strike even the best of families. Powerful and hard hitting, this must read serves as an information and education tool for both young people and parents, a lesson not to be ignored.

Philipovna: The Daughter of Sorrow?is a creative non-fiction based on my mother's surviving the holodomor [the Ukrainian starvation] in the early 1930's.? It is the story of an orphan who goes to live with her aunt in a rural village in the Ukrainian countryside.?The aunt swears on her dead sister's Bible that Vera Philipovna, the daughter of a cobbler and seamstress from a small village in Chercassy, Ukraine will survive no matter what might befall the family.?No one foresees the horrors that they will have to face between the fall of 1930 and the spring of 1933.?In the end, out of a healthy extended family, only Philipovna, a cousin and the aunt survive.?The acts of real savagery that are perpetrated on the village are unflinchingly narrated by a pre-pubescent girl, who also gives us a good grasp of the beauty and richness of the Ukrainian culture with its superstitions, customs and celebrations.?

In math for couples, we re-visit the past to discover our place in the contemporary world. A long-dead father watches his daughter work on her Mac, a woman converses with a photo of her young self. Adele Graf leads us on a journey that is rich and hopeful, evoking powerful nostalgia even if we've never been to the places described. When a -rusted sign swings,- we hear it squeak. Playful and Intimate, these poems release us back to our current lives, where we feel restored.
