  In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness. 
   
   
   
  The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma. 
   
   
   
  Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.

Rise of a Killah gives a “real feel” narrative of Ghost’s life as he sees it, a one of a kind holy grail for Wu-Tang and Ghost fans alike.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Know About "Betty Friedan" -...

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Betty Friedan, a name synonymous with the feminist movement of the 20th century, was a trailblazing writer, activist, and co-founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Her groundbreaking work, The Feminine Mystique, ignited a national conversation about the plight of women in post-war America, exposing the "problem that no one had a name for" – the dissatisfaction and unfulfilled aspirations of countless women trapped within the confines of domesticity. 
  Born Bettye Naomi Goldstein on February 4, 1921, in Peoria, Illinois, Friedan was a bright and ambitious young woman who excelled in her studies. She graduated from Smith College in 1942 with a degree in psychology, harboring dreams of a fulfilling career. However, the societal expectations of the time steered her towards a more conventional path, leading her to marry Carl Friedan in 1947 and settle into suburban life. 
  As a young mother, Friedan began to notice the stirrings of discontent among her peers – women who, despite their educational achievements and personal aspirations, felt confined and unfulfilled by the limited roles society had prescribed for them. This observation sparked a deep-seated curiosity within Friedan, prompting her to embark on a journey to uncover the root of this widespread discontent.

  My Mess Is a Bit of a Life -...

  “Georgia Pritchett is a singularly hilarious person. Her book is a delightful and perfect reflection of her. Its tenderness sneaks up on you and really packs a punch. What a magnificent read!”—Julia Louis Dreyfus 
  Jenny Lawson meets Nora Ephron in this joyful memoir-in-vignettes on living—and thriving—with anxiety from a multiple Emmy Award-winning comedy writer whose credits include Succession and Veep. 
  When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words—a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer—she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book. 
  A natural born worrywart, Georgia’s life has been defined by her quirky anxiety. During childhood, she was agitated about the monsters under her bed (Were they comfy enough?). Going into labor, she fretted about making a fuss (“Sorry to interrupt, but the baby is coming out of my body,” I said politely). Winning a prestigious award, she agonized over receiving free gifts after the ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying).  
  Soul-baring yet lighthearted, poignant yet written with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life is a tour through the carnival funhouse of Georgia’s life, from her anxiety-ridden early childhood where disaster loomed around every corner (When I was little I used to think that sheep were clouds that had fallen to earth. On cloudy days I used to worry that I would be squashed by a sheep), through the challenges of breaking into an industry dominated by male writers, to the exquisite terror (and incomparable joy) of raising children. 
  Delightfully offbeat, painfully honest, full of surprising wonders, and delivering plenty of hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life reveals a talented, vulnerable, and strong woman in all her wisecracking weirdness, and makes us love it—and her—too.
