The Chain - Love Betrayal and...

Chimene Suleyman

“[Suleyman’s] narration brings a palpably chilling authority to a story she shouldn’t have to tell.” — Vulture 
A devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny. 
In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that the man she’d loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many others. 
In this spellbinding memoir, Suleyman exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite—and in spite of—him. With radiant prose and incisive observation, Suleyman questions society’s complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts. 
A soul-baring story, brilliant cultural critique, and celebration of the healing power of sisterhood, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.

Why Can't Somebody Just Die...

Gerhard Maroscher

“A memoir that offers a rare, underrepresented perspective of World War II.” -Kirkus

_A true story of a Romanian family’s miraculous survival of World War II, becoming refugees, fleeing their homeland, starving after the war, and coming to the United States to live the American Dream._Life was full of promise for the young Maroscher family. Gustav was a teacher; Helene was busy rearing two boys and managing their small farm. The war changed everything. While Gustav fought the Russians on the Eastern Front, Helene fled the advancing army to her sister’s house in Germany. Danger and hardship transformed Helene from a shy young mother into a lioness; she once pointed an illegal pistol at the Nazi refugee camp director to save her younger son’s life. In the early years of the war, Gustav had helped a Jewish friend at considerable risk to himself. As a released prisoner of war, Gustav faced certain arrest after returning home. His friend, now the communist police commissioner, protected him. Eventually, though, his friend could no longer protect him, and Gustav fled to the West.To reunite the family, Helene and her sons made a dangerous nighttime border crossing from communist East Germany to the West. After being reunited in West Germany they faced discrimination and hunger. The family immigrated to the USA and embraced the freedoms and opportunities of America. Gustav became an engineer working on NASA’s Moon Shot. Helene became an independent businesswoman. Their sons continue to thrive and enjoy their freedom.

Dignity in Policing - How...

Marcel Brunel, Dan Newby

This book is not about fixing first responders, it is about empowering first responders to care for themselves; and to be better armed to disarm their own stressed responses. The processes shared in this book are simple, fast, and intuitive. Under each first responder's figurative or literal armor is a human doing important work.  
You have your service weapon, your taser, your pepper spray, and your handcuffs, but your toolbelt is incomplete without your dignity.  
"The timing of this book couldn't be better to serve as a perfect resource and tool for emotional wellness". - Brad F., Chief of Police 
"This book is not just a "good read". It is a deep dive into an essential skill for 21st-century police officers". - Rick R., Chaplain 
Marcel and Dan are teachers, coaches, practitioners, and mindful human beings. Our goal is to be a spark for good a pilot light, always there, ready and waiting to ignite a bigger flame. Our pasts can be broken down into two eras; what we were like before we became emotionally literate and what we are like now.  
Our highest hope is that you will read these pages and come to realize that t is time for you to reconsider your emotional understanding and competence for the sake of your well-being and the well-being of those you care about.
