  A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
   
   
   
  In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not. 
   
   
   
  Grant presents new approaches to the craft of policymaking. She endorses policy design thinking, including user-centered design; greater attention to education statecraft, such as reinforcing federal-state relations; and partnering with intermediaries who can help policymakers determine where the public interest lies. She underscores how these practices support democratized policymaking and implementation, which can lead to more inclusive, equitable policy. 
   
   
   
  Grant notes that the success of policy work depends on civic capacity to initiate and sustain improvement efforts, and on policy's ability to meet the demands of the time. This book is essential for anyone who makes policy or is interested in education reform.

  Not the Perfect Victim - A...

  He stole my voice. This is what it took to get it back. 
  First published in 2025. 
  In 2006, one night changed everything. 
  At nineteen, a violent trauma shattered Anna Kahill’s sense of safety and left her carrying the truth alone for more than a decade. Grief and motherhood shaped the years that followed, as the memories she had buried gradually resurfaced. A later diagnosis of autism and PTSD reframed what she had lived through — and why she had remained silent for so long. 
  Not the Perfect Victim is an unflinching account of survival and the fight for justice inside a system that many survivors, legal professionals, and advocacy groups describe as notoriously difficult to navigate in sexual violence cases. With clarity and courage, Anna exposes the impossible expectations placed on traumatised and neurodivergent women — and the silence demanded of anyone who doesn’t fit the “perfect victim” mould. 
  Told with restraint, yet unflinching in its honesty, this memoir speaks to anyone who has questioned their memory, their worth, or their right to be heard. 
  As featured in The Irish News, The Belfast Telegraph, Books Ireland, Women Writers, Writing.ie, Armagh I, and The Newry Democrat. 
  For readers of: 
  Know My Name — Chanel Miller 
  What My Bones Know — Stephanie Foo 
  The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk 
  A memoir that refuses silence — and shows what it really takes to reclaim your life.
