  Acceptance struggles to emerge from a cocoon of family secrets . . . 
  After her parents' divorce in 1974, Lisa Lucca's idyllic Midwestern childhood is shattered when she learns her father is gay. Sworn to secrecy, she begins carrying the emotions of her family like a cracked bucket, making a mess as she embarks on a life of rebellious choices. 
  Decades later, faced with the aftermath of her father’s death, Lisa revisits the complicated relationship she had with him, delving deeper into the stories she’s held about love, sexuality, and the family she comes from with a shimmering clarity that arises from her grief. 
  A story of heartache and the power of forgiveness, Ashes to Ink shines a light on the challenges of living true to who we are. 
  “Lisa Lucca weaves the past and present into a vividly written and important story with many layers: family secrets, fathers and daughters, love and sexuality, and at the core, forgiveness. What touched me most was the call to action to become the love of your own life. Read, learn, and become!”—Laura Munson, New York Times bestselling author

  Dara Shukoh -- the emperor Shah Jahan's favourite son, and heir-apparent to the Mughal throne prior to being defeated by Aurangzib -- has sometimes been portrayed as an effete prince, incompetent in military and administrative matters. But his tolerance towards other faiths, and the myths and anecdotes surrounding him, continue to fuel the popular imagination. Even today, over 350 years after his death, the debate rages on: if this 'good' Mughal had ascended the throne instead of his pugnacious younger brother, how would that have changed the course of Indian history? Dara Shukoh: The Man Who Would Be King brings to life the story of this enigmatic Mughal prince. Rich in historical detail and psychological insight, it brilliantly recreates a bygone age, and presents an empathetic and engaging portrait of the crown prince who was, in many ways, clearly ahead of his times.

  Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a lawyer's personal narrative of the events that led to the widespread use of low-cost generic drugs and the current drug price crisis. 
   
   
   
  Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry. He takes you inside the mysterious world of patents to provide a basic understanding of how drug makers have gamed the laws governing brand and generic competition, misused patents to prolong monopolies, and delayed generic competition on old drugs instead of focusing on discovering new ones. In this book, Engelberg provides listeners with an understanding of how the growing use of low-cost generic drugs led to the highest prices in the world for new drugs, and how middlemen in the drug distribution chain have exploited a lack of price transparency in order to earn excessive profits. Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how ill-considered policy decisions and an inept patent system led to unaffordable prices for new drugs, and what can be done to correct the problem.

  ‘From War to Eternity’ traces an extraordinary family story shaped by the forces of war, migration, and the enduring quest for identity. Sydney Doulames brings to life the journeys of her parents Anneliese, who came of age amid the ruins of postwar Germany, and Eduardo, who navigated the turbulence of wartime Philippines with determination and grace. Their separate struggles to survive hardship and loss ultimately led them across continents to find each other, forging an unlikely bond that would define generations. From the hunger and fear of a bombed-out German village to the crowded hospitals of the Pacific theater, this book illuminates how ordinary people rise to meet unthinkable challenges. When Anneliese and Eduardo build a life together, first in Guam and later in California, their marriage is tested by the scars of the past and the strains of cultural divides. Even as they face heartbreak and upheaval, their story reveals an unshakable devotion to family. With honesty and tender reflection, Sydney Doulames explores themes of love, belonging, and the ways our origins shape us. ‘From War to Eternity’ is both a tribute to her parents’ courage and a reminder that even the most fragmented histories can be outgrown into something lasting and meaningful.
