    Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. 
     
    But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

    Dr. Edwin Bancroft Henderson was the son of working-class parents born in slavery. Henderson attended Harvard University's Dudley Sargent School of Physical Training. There he met the leaders in the new field of physical education and recognized athletics—and basketball, especially—as a public health initiative and a way that young Blacks could gain college scholarships and debunk the idea of racial inferiority. 
     
     
     
    In The Grandfather of Black Basketball, Edwin Bancroft Henderson II—Dr. Henderson's grandson—provides unprecedented detail and fascinating insight into this influential figure in Black history. Henderson organized the first athletic league for Blacks, introduced basketball to Black people on a wide-scale, organized basis, and founded associations to train and organize Black officials and referees. He was instrumental in founding the first rural branch of the NAACP, advocated for school desegregation, and held executive board positions with multiple NAACP branches. 
     
     
     
    Overlooked for decades, Henderson was finally enshrined in the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013 as a contributor. The Grandfather of Black Basketball gives long-overdue recognition to a sports pioneer, civil rights activist, author, educator, and pragmatic humanitarian who fought his entire life to improve opportunities for youth through athletics.

    “The mother-daughter relationship is the most powerful bond in the world, for better or for worse. It sets the stage for all other relationships.” —Dr. Christiane Northrup 
    In her second book, Mama, Zuzana delves into the intricate tapestry of the mother-daughter bond, grappling with the resentment and anger she harbored towards her own mother. 
    Instead of severing ties, Zuzana embarks on a journey of understanding, exploring her mother's past and the influences that shaped her. Zuzana traces her mother's struggles with an absent mother, a strict father, and a life marked by displacement, uncovering the roots of her mother's struggles with belonging and unrealized dreams. This newfound comprehension becomes a catalyst for Zuzana's personal growth, propelling her to defy expectations and forge her own path, distinct from the traditional trajectory her mother envisioned. 
    Through Jungian Analysis, reading, and journaling, Zuzana learns to nurture the mother within herself, and is ultimately able to deliver a heartfelt eulogy at her mother's funeral—a testament to the transformative power of understanding and compassion. 
    Zuzana Plesa, a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst and counselor, brings her extensive experience in navigating the complexities of mother-daughter relationships to her writing. Her work reflects a deep conviction that resolving these issues is fundamental to a woman's healthy development. When she isn't empowering women through writing or counseling active duty members and their families, Zuzana finds solace in the tranquility of gardening, reading, and swimming in beautiful Niceville, Florida.

    For most of us, the varied parts of our personalities are woven together and unified by our memories. But what happens when we have no memories? What happens when the components of memory (facts, feelings, and body states) are split apart and no longer relate to each other?
     
    When this story began more than 40 years ago, doctors and psychiatrists were mystified by patients with more than one personality. The diagnosis at the time was Multiple Personality Disorder. Lillian was afflicted with this condition owing to severe abuse during her childhood. Her mind held each trauma separately. Each personality took over her body, developing
     a life and personality of its own.
     
    Lillian’s aunt, Jean, became friends with 22 personalities. She played hide and seek with four-year-old Mary, taught five-year-old Amy to write, shopped for undergarments with Robin Jean, and communicated endlessly with each of the others. In the process, each personality revealed its beginnings. Over time, each personality revealed its own memories of their trauma and eventually became integrated.
     
    This is an exquisite and beautifully written story of poverty, transgenerational abuse, mental illness, and the healing power of love, science, and spirituality.
     
    As one reader puts it: “You will laugh, cry, turn away and come back again to its compelling truth.”

    Eastern Inferno - The Journals...

    This book presents the remarkable personal journals of German soldier Hans Roth. Writing as events transpired, he recorded the mystery and tension as the Germans deployed on the Soviet frontier in June 1941. In these journals, battles are described in "you are there" detail, as Roth wrote privately, as if to keep himself sane, knowing that his honest accounts of the horrors in the East could never pass through Wehrmacht censors. When the Soviet counteroffensive of winter 1942 begins, his unit is stationed alongside the Italian 8th Army, and his observations of its collapse, as opposed to the reaction of the German troops sent to stiffen its front, are of special fascination. 
     
     
     
    Roth's three journals were discovered many years after his disappearance, tucked away in the home of his brother, with whom he was known to have had a deep bond. After his brother's death, his family discovered them and quickly sent them to Rosel, Roth's wife. In time, Rosel handed down the journals to Erika, Roth's only daughter, who had immigrated to America. Hans Roth was doubtlessly working on a fourth journal before he was reported missing in action in July 1944 during the battle known as the Destruction of Army Group Center. Although Roth's ultimate fate remains unknown, what he did leave behind is an incredible firsthand account of the horrific war the Germans waged in Russia.
