  “#1 bestseller on AMAZON (eating disorders)” 
  “A book that will make you cry and leave you with hope and lifted spirits.” 
  Ira M. Sacker, M.D., (author: Regaining Your Self, and co-author: Dying to Be Thin) 
  “The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.” 
  Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders. 
  The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews). 
  Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting. 
  Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life. 
  To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.” 
  Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders. 
  N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).

  What do we inherit from our mothers? From our grandmothers? From the legacy of colonisation and empire? Mother | Line, Ankita Saxena's debut poetry collection, charts lineage in all its forms, delving into female rage, compassion, and endurance. Drawing on the author's British Asian heritage and experiences growing up as a woman in an increasingly violent world, this collection weaves together the personal and the political in ghazals, odes and specular poems, which hold a mirror to the world and to themselves. "We are daughters of Kali", Saxena writes, and "mothers linger on the sides, hearing us become them; / our routines only theirs to thank for, our spices, / our blends, and even our greedy tongues.
  "A sublime and considered collection, speaking to, and spanning lineage, inheritance, friendship; what it can mean to be a girl, a woman in the world — across continents, oceans, time." - Rachel Long

  Caleb Leow's The Hoarders was a winner of the 2023 New Poets' Prize.
  'The Hoarders resounds with a subtle and unsettling music which creates its own complex, multilingual logic, even as Leow brings an attentive eye and an inquisitive wit to bear on a wide range of themes both personal and political. These are vivid and evocative poems which bear re-reading, and Leow is clearly a talent to watch.' - Mary Jean Chan

  Dive into the heart-wrenching world of Voices of New Belarus, a searing documentary drama by renowned Belarusian playwright-in-exile Andrei Kureichik. This powerful work captures the harrowing events of the 2020 Belarusian revolution through the deeply personal accounts of 16 political prisoners. Each monologue reveals a distinct story, a unique truth, and together they create an unflinching mosaic of resistance, sacrifice, and hope.First presented at Yale University and the Oslo Freedom Forum—the world’s foremost human rights festival—these testimonies come to life through the voices of the Yale School of Drama’s finest actors and prominent intellectuals: historian Timothy Snyder, intellectual history professor Marci Shore, fascism scholar Jason Stanley, and the visionary theatre director Jura Kordonsky. They embody the words of Belarusian heroes, including imprisoned Nobel laureate Ales Bialiatsky, revolutionary icon Maria Kolesnikova, and many others—politicians, journalists, priests, and ordinary citizens—who stood up against the brutal regime of dictator Alexander Lukashenko.This audiobook is not just a performance—it’s a testament to truth that refuses to be silenced. Half of the proceeds will directly support funds aiding political prisoners and their families, making each listen a contribution to justice. Prepare for an emotional journey that will challenge your understanding of freedom—and leave your soul forever changed.
