  Women's Diaries of the Westward...

  More than a quarter of a million Americans crossed the continental United States between 1840 and 1870, going west in one of the greatest migrations of modern times. The frontiersmen have become an integral part of our history and folklore, but the Westering experiences of American women are equally central to an accurate picture of what life was like on the frontier. 
   
   
   
  Through the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of women who participated in this migration, Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey gives us primary source material on the lives of these women, who kept campfires burning with buffalo chips and dried weeds, gave birth to and cared for children along primitive and dangerous roads, drove teams of oxen, picked berries, milked cows, and cooked meals in the middle of a wilderness that was a far cry from the homes they had left back east. Still (and often under the disapproving eyes of their husbands) they found time to write brave letters home or to jot a few weary lines at night into the diaries that continue to enthrall us. 
   
   
   
  In her new foreword, Professor Mary Clearman Blew explores the enduring fascination with this subject among both historians and the general public, and places Schlissel's groundbreaking work into an intriguing historical and cultural context.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  On Monday, Ray Landis drank a cup of bad coffee with the game warden. 
  On Wednesday they found the warden’s truck at a trailhead. Locked. Keys gone. 
  By Friday the search was smaller than it had been on Thursday. 
  Ray is sixty-three, a retired welder, three years a widower. The last week of October in the Pennsylvania big woods is the only stretch of the year that still feels like anything, and he goes up alone, the way he has for forty years. 
  He is not a detective and never was. He is a man who has read ground since he was eighteen, and the ground is telling him something. 
  The state police are polite and they are not friendly. Nobody stops him and nobody asks him anything either. 
  Then a woman walks out of the dark into his firelight on ruined feet, in boots four sizes too big. She gives him a name. She eats his food. She tells him one true thing about her father, and she asks him one careful question about the only thing he is any good at, and he answers her honestly. 
  In the morning she is gone. Her tracks go the wrong way. They go back up the mountain. 
  Nobody is coming.

  Hints of Pleasure - Becoming My...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hints of Pleasure is a tasteful, intimate, and empowering audiobook about feminine presence as inner truth rather than performance.  
  It begins with a radical shift: from asking how I look to asking what I feel.  
   
  Moshe Katz explores eroticism as a woman’s private relationship with pleasure, sensation, rhythm, subtlety, boundaries, and self-authorship.  
   
  This book is not about crude display or borrowed ideas of desirability. It is about cultivating a soft flame, the quiet magnetism that appears when a woman becomes deeply present in her own body. Through awareness, small gestures, gaze, pacing, curiosity, consent, personal style, and self-respect,  
  Hints of Pleasure teaches a more refined language of feminine expression.  
   
  It is for women who want to stop exaggerating and start inhabiting their own aliveness with elegance, sovereignty, playfulness, and truth.

  First Acts: A Black Playwright...

  Playwright and television writer Kermit Frazier grew up in southeast Washington, DC, during the Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s. As a student at an all-Black elementary school, he was selected for a newly formed honors track at a predominantly white secondary school. Traveling a complex path, Kermit tore down segregation barriers, balanced on an academic pedestal, and battled an internal war of denial against his same-sex attractions. . . . Through a series of discrete yet interconnected chapters that each unfold through a different "aspect of perception," this memoir vividly describes a young Black man struggling with stereotypes, identity, and mild dyslexia while straddling two middle-class worlds, Black and white, and striving mightily not to be everyone's "other."

  Trauma Proof - Healing...

  From the moment they're born, babies seek a loving parental attachment. When that connection is absent, it derails childhood development in ways that can last a lifetime. The annual health costs of illness related to child trauma for North America and Europe alone are 1.3 trillion dollars. Child trauma is much more widespread than previously thought and passes from one generation to the next. But that's not the end of the story—there is overwhelming evidence that this intergenerational transmission can be disrupted. So why isn't the eradication of childhood trauma a tier-one public priority, like defense or growth? 
   
   
   
  In Trauma Proof, Benjamin Perks argues that it must be, and that we can tackle it as a public health problem like COVID-19, by 1) making sure everyone is aware of the risk; 2) preventing transmission; and 3) opening pathways to healing. Perks shows we have the tools to make these three things happen, and the evidence to show they work. Psychology, neuroscience, and medicine have made huge leaps in the past twenty-five years. We now know what causes Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), how to reduce them, and how to address them. For the first time in history, we know child mistreatment is not inevitable. Trauma Proof is a rallying call to address child trauma as the public health crisis it is—because we can do better for kids, and we should.
