Into The Whispering Wild

Hannah Gold

Sinopse

Sometimes when things should be straightforward, they're just not. When Hannah sets out to move house, the process falls apart repeatedly, facing her with a stark question what does she really want? The prospect of homelessness is a looming reality that brings a lifetime's worth of fears to the fore. Yet behind it all, is the constant, subtle sense of an indefinable 'something' important, lost but almost within reach. The wild world is whispering and asking What if there's a better way? Her conversation with the wild begins. With a young puppy and an inexplicable sense of hope and opportunity, she returns eventually to the one place to which she has always felt connected, the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Maybe the place will bring her home. The death of her mother adds further turmoil and grief. Seeking refuge in a caravan with her dog, she turns to the wild for clarity. There on the Lizard, on the South-West coast, in the magical landscape that called to her and spoke of home, she rediscovers the power of the wild and our ancient relationship with it. Hannah embarks upon an unexpected journey of reclaiming the inner self she had almost forgotten. Amid winter storms and soft sea mists, through every nuance of the seasons, she immerses herself in the wild and it shows the way back to an ancestral awareness of the inner nomad and settler within us all. Into the Whispering Wild is a true story, a raw but hopeful account of how our relationship with the wild is vital to our inner strength and ability to navigate life’s changes. Powerful yet gentle, this honest account of one woman’s journey into the meaning of home is a life-affirming tale of love, hope and determination. It urges us to rejoice in the healing power of our vital bond with the wild world.

Top of the World - Surviving the...

Martin Hibbert, Fiona Duffy, Dan...

Martin Hibbert was left paralysed from the waist down by the Manchester Arena bombing which killed twenty-two people on 22 May 2017. Martin’s teenage daughter Eve was one of the 940 injured, in Eve’s case, gravely. The dad from Bolton has since become a leading campaigner both for victims of the atrocity and those with spinal cord injuries. 
Determined to make a difference he took on the ultimate challenge, scaling Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair, becoming the second paraplegic to do so, and raising a million pounds for charity. Reaching the summit, on 13 June 2022 Martin, who was the closest person to the bomber to survive, said, ‘I’ve often wondered why I was saved. Now I know why. It was for this moment.’ 
This is Martin’s incredible story.

Big Love

Brooke Blurton

A raw, moving and uplifting memoir about courage, resilience and the transformative power of love, from one of Australia's most captivating personalities
'Powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful ... a story of incredible triumph fuelled by love and compassion' Osher Gunsberg
'Brooke Blurton is an icon for people of all generations and backgrounds. I love seeing her star shine.' Clementine Ford

My story is about the one thing that I never went without. Love. Big love, that filled me up and made me feel like there was a future for me. The kind of love that's unconditional, and that lasts across time and space ...
From the moment Brooke Blurton appeared on Australian television, she dazzled audiences with her authenticity, self-knowledge, generosity and honesty. As a proud young Noongar-Yamatji woman, Brooke's connection to her culture and country is deep, and as an openly queer woman, she knows that love is simply love. Most of all Brooke knows the importance of family, and the uplifting power of unconditional connection.
But behind the public persona Brooke presents to the world is a story of epic proportions and awe-inspiring resilience - she had to grow up fast from a very young age, surviving an extremely challenging childhood and youth, and overcoming the shocking legacy of intergenerational trauma, abuse and homelessness. She's also had to defy labels and perceptions about who she is, and her worth, all her life.
But through it all, Brooke didn't just survive, she found her voice and thrived, and in this raw, heartbreaking, often funny and ultimately life-affirming memoir, Brooke lays her journey bare about how she refused to allow the past to define her and reclaimed her own identity - and realised the power of love, for herself, for her family, and her community.

"An addictive memoir that fizzes with anecdotes. If you like top-level political gossip and insights written with panache, look no further." – Gary Gibbon
***
Westminster and Whitehall are secret worlds, hidden to most. But working as a lobby journalist, former Labour Party staffer Andy McSmith has had exclusive access to our top politicians for decades. Here, he shares his personal encounters with the great and the good of the British political landscape, revealing what they are really like behind the scenes.
With witty and perceptive flair, he describes encounters such as flying to Tokyo with Margaret Thatcher, the last Prime Minister who would walk fearlessly into a room full of journalists, unprotected by special advisers; dining with Sir Edward Heath, a man who knew how to hold a grudge, in his home in Salisbury; observing Gordon Brown and Tony Blair as new MPs, sharing a cramped office in Parliament and collaborating like brothers; and working with Boris Johnson back when he had an ambition to be something more than just a journalist.
Filled with vivid portraits of those at the heart of British politics over the past forty years, Strange People I Have Known is a memoir of a life well lived and an insider's account of the inner workings of government.

Bo Peabody

Listen as Bo Peabody, author of "Lucky or Smart?" and entrepreneur extraordinaire, discuss the businesses he started, how he was able to make them successful, and the place that intelligence, hard work and a little bit of good fortune have in the process. As Bo explains: “My formula for getting lucky in business is reasonably simple: Start a company that fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Create and aura of authenticity around your start-up by carefully crafting your mission and communicating it with charisma and passion. Our company will quickly attract smart, inspired people who will work very hard. Treat all these people fairly. Provide them with a clear action plan and give them the latitude to exercise their creativity. The result: serendipity, luck, success, and, ultimately, money. And the only smart thing about this formula is that I understand that on a day-to-day basis my brain has very little to do with any of it.”
