Summary

In "Following the Guidon," Elizabeth Bacon Custer delves into her life as the wife of General George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. This memoir, rich with personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions, paints a complex portrait of military life and the challenges faced by women on the frontier. Custer employs a first-person narrative style that is both intimate and engaging, creating a blend of historical context and personal reflection. As she navigates themes of loyalty, courage, and patriotism, the reader is transported into a world of tumultuous change, underscored by a lyrical prose that encapsulates the trials and tribulations experienced during this transformative era in American history. Elizabeth Bacon Custer, born into a prominent New York family, was instilled with a sense of adventure and a commitment to her husband's legacy. Her experiences accompanying Custer on military campaigns provided her with a unique perspective on the socio-political climate of her time, sparking her desire to document the interplay between gender roles and military leadership. This memoir is not solely an account of events but also reflects her profound emotional journey through love and loss. "Following the Guidon" is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, military narratives, and the often-overlooked perspectives of women in wartime. Custer's eloquent storytelling invites readers to explore the complexities of her life while revealing broader truths about a nation at war. This memoir not only honors her husband's legacy but also stands as a testament to the resilience of those who lived on the periphery of history.

    A timely and deeply moving story of family, history, and Ukraine 
 
In 2014, the landmarks of Victoria Belim’s personal geography were plunged into tumult at the hands of Russia. Her hometown, Kyiv, was gripped by protests and violence. Crimea, where she’d once been sent to school to avoid radiation from the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, was invaded. Kharkiv,  
where her grandmother Valentina studied economics and fell in love; Donetsk, where her father once worked; and Mariupol, where she and her mother bought a cherry tree for Valentina’s garden, all became battlegrounds. 
 
Victoria, by then an American citizen living in Brussels, felt she had to go back. She had to spend time with her aging grandmother and her cousin Dima. She had to unravel a family mystery spanning several generations. And she needed to understand how a century of her country’s tragic history had  
changed the course of their lives. 
 
The Rooster House is a beautifully written memoir of a family, a country’s past, and its dangerous present. It is about parents and children, true believers and victims, gardens and art, secrets and tragedy. Compulsively readable, deeply moving, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it is a stunning debut  
book by an experienced, expressive, and gifted writer.

    For thousands of years and to this day, there have been numerous myths and misconceptions about ancient Egypt in the minds of many around the world. Perhaps it is because of the nature of the ancient Egyptians to keep the secrets of their civilization within the minds of their priests, like the secrets of the ancient Egyptian language and  hieroglyphic writing, magical secrets, miracles of architecture,  astronomy, and other knowledge that  other nations  could not understand, and turned into mysteries.  This book comes as a serious and sincere attempt to reveal  falsehoods and refute the myths surrounding ancient Egyptian  civilization, which unfortunately turned into facts in mind of the public and some specialists both inside and outside Egypt. So, let me take you through an interesting journey to discover the secrets of Ancient Egypt and to reveal its mysteries and myths.

    Through Gingerbites, I discovered that our stories—like our food—are meant to be shared. They carry resilience, joy, and cultural pride. 
The journey from Juvance to Gingerbites taught me that endings can become beginnings in disguise, and that growth often rises from our deepest trials. 
I hope the lessons I’ve learned ignite something in others—especially women, immigrants, and entrepreneurs who may feel like they’re standing on shaky ground. Trust your roots. Trust your recipe. Keep going. 
I invite you into my kitchen, into my story, into the heart of a journey rooted in faith, family, and flavor. Let us gather—not just to eat, but to share, to listen, and to honor the rich, layered tapestry of who we are. 
Because in every jar, every plate, and every shared story, there is healing, there is heritage, and above all, there is hope. 
This is my story—told from the heart of a woman who has lived, lost, and loved deeply. It’s about finding my way back to myself through food, faith, and the memories that never left me. 
Even when life falls apart, we can gather the pieces, season them with grace, and begin again. 
Because what we preserve— our stories, our culture, our resilience— is what keeps us alive.
