  When a state trooper appeared at Rachel Zimmerman’s door to report that her husband had jumped to his death off a nearby bridge, she fell to her knees, unable to fully absorb the news. How could the man she’d married, a devoted father and robotics professor at MIT, have committed such a violent act? How would she explain this to her young daughters? And could she have stopped him? 
   
  A longtime journalist, she probed obsessively, believing answers would help her survive. She interviewed doctors, suicide researchers, and a man who jumped off the same bridge and lived. 
   
  Us, After examines domestic devastation and resurgence, digging into the struggle between public and private selves, life’s shifting perspectives, the work of motherhood, and the secrets we keep. In this memoir, Zimmerman confronts the unimaginable and discovers the good in what remains. 
   
  “This poignant, soul-baring memoir is truly one of the most moving accounts of grief, loss and resilience that I’ve read.”—Tara Parker-Pope, The Washington Post

  Sambhaji and Kavi Kalash were stunned into silence. Was it really happening or was it a dream? Ikhlas Khan had tied the two. Out of sheer desperation and anger, he slapped Sambhaji. Kaviraj, seeing Ikhlas Khan touching Raje's face, spat at him in disgust. Ikhlas Khan was enraged now and took out a whip tied around his waist. He whipped Sambhaji and Kavi in frustration before tying them on a horse back. Their clothes had been torn apart. They were made to wear a green dress, like the other soldiers.

  If your heart is aching for proof that God is present in the darkest circumstances . . . that hope can emerge when all seems lost . . . and that love is still the greatest power on earth, Jeff Woodke's true story of survival and healing is for you. 
  In October 2016, a year away from retiring as a missionary and humanitarian aid worker with Youth With a Mission in Niger, Africa, Jeff Woodke was making plans to move back to the United States and make a new life at home. Then the worst happened. 
  On October 14, in the dusty town of Abalak in northern Niger, armed terrorists came at night and took Jeff captive. For the next six and a half years, he would endure unspeakable horrors at the hands of al-Qaida in Mali. Released on March 20, 2023, Jeff came home to his wife and grown children, two grandchildren, and memories coupled with PTSD that threatened to steal the little faith and hope he had left. 
  This is Jeff's incredible story--a story of loss and redemption, brutality and forgiveness, soul-wrenching questions and soul-deep peace. Most of all, it's a profound testimony of how God carries us through suffering, giving us a radical faith that can withstand this world's deepest pain and come out on the other side with hope. 
  All the Way Home invites you to discover anew the God who provides when we have nothing to offer, the God who is near those who wait and weep. The God who reminds us again and again that no darkness can overcome the healing power of his love.

  Black Chameleon - Memory...

  This program is read by the author.In the literary tradition of Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House, Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped, this debut memoir confronts both the challenges and joys of growing up Black and making your own truth.Growing up as a Black girl in America, Deborah Mouton felt alienated from the stories she learned in class. She yearned for stories she felt connected to—true ones of course—but also fables and mythologies that could help explain both the world and her place in it. What she encountered was almost always written by white writers who prospered in a time when human beings were treated as chattel, such as the Greek and Roman myths, which felt as dusty and foreign as ancient ruins. When she sought myths written by Black authors, they were rooted too far in the past, a continent away.Mouton writes, “The phrases of my mother and grandmother began to seem less colloquial and more tied to stories that had been lost along the way. . . . Mythmaking isn’t a lie. It is our moment to take the privilege of our own creativity to fill in the gaps that colonization has stolen from us. It is us choosing to write the tales that our children pull strength from. It is hijacking history for the ignorance in its closets. This, a truth that must start with the women.”Mouton’s memoir Black Chameleon is a song of praise and an elegy for Black womanhood. With a poet’s gift for lyricism and poignancy, Mouton reflects on her childhood as the daughter of a preacher and a harsh but loving mother, living in the world as a Black woman whose love is all too often coupled with danger, and finally learning to be a mother to another Black girl in America. Of the moment yet timeless, playful but incendiary, Mouton has staked out new territory in the memoir form.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
