  “What is comfort but a filament between past and present with some sort of future implied? In other words, safety. In other words, care. I know it is possible to find these things without her—I know they are there. But it can be so hard to ask. So much is unknown.”  Rebecca Spiegel is working as a teacher in New Orleans when she learns of her sister’s suicide. Only after the funeral does shock give way to grief—and to many questions. How could Emily do this to herself? How could she have abandoned all those who loved her? And what could have been done differently to prevent this devastating loss?  In the days and weeks that follow, Spiegel embarks on a search for answers. She unpacks family history, documents the last traces of her sister’s life, and questions what more she could have done to prevent her death. What she finds instead is that there is no narrative on the other side of grief like this. There is no answer, no easy resolution—only those that leave and those that keep living. Unflinchingly honest, visceral, and raw, this courageous elegy lays bare the hard realities of surviving the loss of a loved one.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely explores the various ways in which human behavior deviates from rational decision-making. The book delves into how psychological factors, context, and biases often influence our choices more than logical considerations. It challenges the traditional economic view that people make decisions based on pure calculation, showing instead that our choices are frequently driven by emotions, perceptions, and subconscious influences. 
    
  The book examines concepts like relativity, our attraction to "free" items, the impact of social norms, and the power of expectations on how we perceive things. It further explores how keeping options open can be a drawback, and how the sense of ownership affects the value we assign to things. Ariely presents numerous experiments and real-life examples to demonstrate these irrational patterns in our daily lives. The book reveals that these patterns are not random but are, in fact, predictable.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Postmortem" by Patricia Cornwell is a crime novel that follows Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner, as she investigates a series of brutal murders in Richmond, Virginia. The plot centers on the challenges of using forensic science to solve the crimes, while also dealing with media interference and corruption within the police and legal systems. The narrative explores how public and media pressure can hinder investigations, and it shows the ethical dilemmas faced by investigators as they struggle to maintain transparency while protecting the integrity of their work. The story delves into the psychological profiles of both the victims and the perpetrator, and introduces concepts such as D.N.A. analysis and a metabolic disorder as tools to help solve the crimes. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the killer is a non-secretor, which makes it difficult to use traditional forensic methods to identify him.
