Perfect for readers moved by Between Two Kingdoms, this life-affirming memoir of a young woman's sudden autoimmune kidney failure reveals a resilient journey of chronic illness, unfailing love, and moving forward with joy. JENNIFER CRAMER-MILLER was a twenty-two-year-old with a promising job, charming boyfriend, and cozy Seattle apartment. Then she was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, and suddenly, rather than planning for a bright future, she found herself soaking a hospital pillow with tears. THAT DAY, Cramer-Miller crossed over from wellness to chronic illness: from thriving to kidney failure. Her chances of survival hinged upon expert doctors, selfless strangers, and benevolent loved ones. But what kind of life would that be? SPANNING TWO-PLUS DECADES and four kidney transplants, this family love story explores the tightrope of uncertainty, the will to survive, and the determination to find joy. Cramer-Miller shines a bright light on the power of people helping people with a story that will inspire you to hug the humans you love. Because sometimes, it's the sorrows that threaten to pull us apart that ultimately unite us with hope.

Nothing stands still. The moment we grasp an idea, it expands beyond us. The instant we define a boundary, a wider one emerges. Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Circles is not about shapes on a page but about the shifting nature of thought, existence, and perception. Each insight is a stepping stone, each conclusion just another starting point. There is no final answer—only an ever-widening ring of understanding. Emerson writes with the quiet confidence of someone who has seen the world rearrange itself countless times. He does not dictate; he invites. He does not confine; he liberates. Circles is both a challenge and a comfort: the challenge to let go of fixed truths, the comfort that every ending is merely a new circumference waiting to be drawn. This essay, part of his Essays: First Series, distills the restless energy of transcendentalism into a meditation on the inevitable movement of life. To read Circles is to be reminded that no thought, no identity, no moment is static. And that is not a reason for despair, but for wonder.Show book
Live life forwards but understand it by looking backwards. In the book, the author’s 21st-century daily experiences are mirrored in his village days.

From ordinary housewife to Canoe Widow, Panama and prison. After years of remaining silent, Anne Darwin finally reveals the truth behind the crime that tore her family apart. When Anne Darwin told the world and her family that her husband, John, had disappeared while canoeing in the North Sea, her life changed forever. She had just lied to the police, the press, her friends and neighbours, insurance companies and her own sons. While her husband hid in a bedsit in their rental house next door, Anne had to face the music. She claimed the life insurance payouts, endured the police questioning, accepted the consolations and left the country she loved to start her life again. But why, when she had been perfectly happy with her lifestyle, knowing her actions would hurt those she held most dear, did she do it? Now, for the first time, Anne opens up about an extraordinary chain of events: how she became involved in her husband's hare-brained scheme, her life and marriage, her harrowing time behind bars, and the runaway train of deceit and guilt that followed her plan to defraud insurance companies with the aid of a canoe. Anne Darwin has done much to repair her relationship with her two sons, and is now a big part of their lives, and the lives of her four grandchildren. She works for an animal charity and lives alone in York. Her co-author is David Leigh, an award-winning journalist, who developed a remarkable relationship with Anne after uncovering her crime in Panama. He won the London Press Club's Scoop Of The Year Award and the National Association of Press Agencies news story of the year for his reporting on John Darwin Canoe Man.Show book
