  Georgine had built a life of careful control. As a wife, mother, and college professor, she minimized risk and played by the rules. Her attorney husband was successful, her four grown daughters were thriving, and her students knew that hard work and deadlines mattered. Having survived a turbulent adolescence marked by poverty and substance abuse, she believed in the safety of well-ordered environments. 
   
  Then the pandemic upended everything. When classrooms and offices closed, Georgine and her husband Mark relocated to Puerto Rico, where she discovered a flourishing—and often outrageous—cryptocurrency community. As she navigated the mysteries of crypto trading and uncovered the political complexities woven into the fabric of the beautiful Caribbean island she now called home, Georgine embarked on a journey that would shatter her orderly existence—and force her to revisit the dangerous youth that had shaped her complicated relationship with home, risk, and money.  
   
  A memoir about facing past mistakes and embracing second chances, Crypto Island reminds us that personal growth never stops, and that living authentically often demands both resilience and reinvention.

  A BOY WITHOUT HOPE is the heart-breaking story of a boy who didn’t know the meaning of love. A history of abuse and neglect has left Miller destined for life’s scrap heap. But in this turbulent story of conflict and struggle, Casey Watson is determined to help Miller overcome his demons, show him love and give him hope. 
  Casey Watson is back, doing the job she does best – rolling up her sleeves and fostering the children who, on first meeting, seem like hopeless cases. But when she meets Miller and discovers the truth about his disturbing childhood, even Casey begins to doubt if this child will ever be able to accept love. 
  Found naked and alone on a railway track, Miller was just five when he was first admitted into the care system. Emotionally tormented by his biological parents, Miller has never understood how to establish meaningful relationships, and his destructive past, and over 20 failed placements, is sealing his fate in society’s social scrap heap. 
  After a torrent of violent behaviour and numerous failed attempts to help Miller, Casey decides to make an intervention, implementing a severe regime that strips Miller of all control. But soon the emotional demands of Miller’s case start to take their toll on Casey and Mike. Just how far is Casey willing to go to help Miller and save him from his inner demons? 
  In this deeply personal biography, Casey Watson, a top author and Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the dysfunctional family life of Miller, a boy without hope. The memoirs of Miller's life are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unimaginable hardship. 
  For fans of Ann Cusack (Under Their Roof), Joe Cusack (Please Don't Leave Me), Linda Watson-Brown (Please Save Me), Ashley Rhodes-Courter (Three Little Words), and Katy Weitz (Undercover Copper).

  A woman with scars. A woman who had been running for so long, she no longer recognized herself. 
  For years, Maryam Jan Akbari fought to exist in a world that tried to erase her. 
  Born a refugee. Raised in silence. Shaped by oppression. Scarred by violence. 
  In Iran, she was an invisible child—denied a name, an education, a future. 
  In Afghanistan, she became a young woman fighting for her voice—only to discover that speaking up could cost her life. 
  In Sweden, she faced the most difficult battle of all: healing the war within. 
  But what rises from the ashes is not a victim. 
  It’s a warrior. A woman. A voice the world can no longer ignore. 
  The Woman Who Refused to Be Silenced is a soul-shaking memoir of survival, self-worth, and identity. Maryam leads us through the darkest corners of trauma, displacement, generational pain, and systemic misogyny—and toward a hard-won sense of freedom. 
  This is not just her story. It’s yours. 
  A mirror for every woman who has questioned her worth, silenced her truth, or been told to shrink to survive. 
  If you’ve ever felt invisible, this book will help you feel seen. 
  If you’ve stayed silent to survive, this book will show you how to speak. 
  If you’ve ever been told you are too much—this book will remind you: you are already enough. 
  You’ll cry. 
  You’ll rage. 
  You’ll rise. 
  And by the final page, you’ll remember what the world made you forget: 
  Your voice was never meant to be silenced. 
  ★ “Every woman needs to read this.” 
  ★ “A soul-shaking, raw, and redemptive masterpiece.” 
  For readers of Educated, I Am Malala, and The Body Keeps the Score—this isn’t just a memoir.

  Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his whole career examining and seeking to understand the lives of others. Here, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.
  Tony recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life for many years and describes how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal those internal wounds. He recounts the stories of people in pain that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist.
  By interweaving his own life story with reflections on how psychology and society treat people with mental health vulnerabilities, Tony invites us to reflect with compassion on the meaning of emotional struggles in all our lives.
  'A searingly honest, lucid and inspiring account of a life, moving from deep childhood trauma to the hard-earned wisdom of a wounded healer. A compelling read and remarkable achievement.' Richard Kearney
  'I was moved by Tony's honesty; humbled by his courage; fascinated by the way he used psychology to make sense of his personal suffering; and inspired by the place he has arrived at this point in his life. Beautifully written, poetic in parts, Tony's book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Everyone should read it.' Alan Carr, PHD
  'What a generous gift, so typical of Tony, to those who need to know that in their loneliness or depression they are not alone' Dr Mary McAleese
  'This is an emotional read in which the psychologist bears their own soul and highlights why they are so skilled at their work' Niall Breslin

  "You took my baby from me, Mum! She should be here with us and her siblings, not stuck with two old stupid fools like you!" 
  She looked through me like I was invisible, pathetically calling out to her husband, in the next room. This woman was incapable of taking responsibility for anything! 
  "Don…Don, don't you think I did the right thing? I did the right thing, didn't I, Don?!" 
  He didn't answer. 
  Our mother-daughter relationship was always tumultuous and clearly would remain so. 
  How would you feel if your own mother stole your child? What would you do? Could you ever forgive her? 
  Reflection is a powerful tool. 
  From Luton, England to Adelaide, Australia, I've covered a lot of distance, geographically and emotionally. I'm no one special. My life is an ordinary one that became extraordinary. 
  Everyone has their story to tell. This is mine.
