  A late bloomer’s coming-of-age memoir asks how does one accept and free themselves from visible and invisible disabilities and still retain their sense of connection and humor? Nothing Special is a disarmingly candid tale of two sisters growing up in the 1970s in rural Connecticut. Older sister Chris, who has Down syndrome, is an extrovert, while the author, her younger, typically developing sister shoulders the burdens and grief of her parents. In Nothing Special Bilyak offers vignettes that range from heartrending to laugh-out-loud funny as well as a real-world picture of fighting for her own life, finding a place in her family, and strengthening the relationship with her sister. "Bilyak's Nothing Special is, despite its witty title, something special. [S]he takes us on a wild ride with her charismatic sister, the unflappable, self-avowed and completely uncowed Dr. Irma King, who just happens to have Down syndrome." —Dorion Sagan"With charming specificity and hilarity, Bilyak writes frankly about her own identity, and that of her sister's. Through honest self-reflection and observation, Bilyak hits home something that we so badly need to hear right now: that people with disabilities are not a monolith, and that there is no perfect way to love or be loved by them." ―Bekah Brunstetter"Dianne Bilyak's Nothing Special is wonderfully fulfilling and accessible―you feel like you're reading this incredibly honest diary about the complexities of family that's so relatable!" ―Brian Donovan“Nothing Special is a revaluation of cultural perceptions of Down syndrome and a realistic portrayal of gritty humor in the face of adversity. Bilyak’s honesty is breathtaking, with anecdotes ranging from poignant to laugh-out-loud funny." ―Richard Blanco

  At the school gate, when she accidentally kissed one new friend on the nose and called another a 'beautiful man-horse', Rachael realised that small-town France could hardly be more different to beach-side Australia. The smell of cigarettes replaced the tang of bone-broth and sprouted sourdough, the neighbours sometimes came to blows and under no circumstances would anyone 
  wear active wear in public. Ever. 
   
  Muddling through every interaction in terrible French pushed Rachael's family to their limits. Some days, everybody cried and ate their feelings with almond croissants. But the town of Sommières embraced these ragtag Australians, and the family fell in love with their temporary hometown and its outrageous gossip, cobblestoned beauty and kind, eccentric inhabitants.  
   
  Pardon My French is a candid, hilarious love letter to family life and France with three valuable lessons for overcoming adversity: make home a beautiful nest, lean into the tough lessons and look for the comedy in everything.

  **Jack the Ripper: The Whitechapel Mystery** 
  *By David G. Stone* 
  In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, a killer stalked the night. Between August and November 1888, the impoverished district of Whitechapel became the hunting ground for history's most infamous serial killer—Jack the Ripper. 
  David G. Stone meticulously reconstructs one of criminology's greatest unsolved mysteries, taking listeners deep into the gaslit alleyways where terror reigned supreme. Through careful examination of police reports, witness testimonies, and contemporary newspaper accounts, Stone brings to life the grimy, desperate world of London's East End—a place where the vulnerable became victims and a shadowy figure earned immortal infamy. 
  Who was Jack the Ripper? Was he a deranged surgeon with anatomical knowledge? A member of the royal family? A local butcher? Or someone else entirely? Stone explores the most compelling theories while painting a vivid portrait of Victorian society's dark underbelly—the poverty, desperation, and social inequalities that created the perfect storm for these horrific crimes. 
  More than just a recounting of murders, this is a fascinating exploration of Victorian police work, early forensic science, and the birth of modern criminal investigation. Stone examines how the Ripper case changed law enforcement forever and why, more than a century later, we remain captivated by these unsolved murders. 
  Prepare to walk the shadowy streets of Whitechapel, where every doorway held secrets and every footstep echoed with dread. The mystery of Jack the Ripper has never been more compelling—or more chilling. 
  *A gripping true crime investigation that will keep you listening late into the night.*
