  Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

  Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
   
   
   
  Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.

  Not the Perfect Victim - A...

  He stole my voice. This is what it took to get it back. 
  First published in 2025. 
  In 2006, one night changed everything. 
  At nineteen, a violent trauma shattered Anna Kahill’s sense of safety and left her carrying the truth alone for more than a decade. Grief and motherhood shaped the years that followed, as the memories she had buried gradually resurfaced. A later diagnosis of autism and PTSD reframed what she had lived through — and why she had remained silent for so long. 
  Not the Perfect Victim is an unflinching account of survival and the fight for justice inside a system that many survivors, legal professionals, and advocacy groups describe as notoriously difficult to navigate in sexual violence cases. With clarity and courage, Anna exposes the impossible expectations placed on traumatised and neurodivergent women — and the silence demanded of anyone who doesn’t fit the “perfect victim” mould. 
  Told with restraint, yet unflinching in its honesty, this memoir speaks to anyone who has questioned their memory, their worth, or their right to be heard. 
  As featured in The Irish News, The Belfast Telegraph, Books Ireland, Women Writers, Writing.ie, Armagh I, and The Newry Democrat. 
  For readers of: 
  Know My Name — Chanel Miller 
  What My Bones Know — Stephanie Foo 
  The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk 
  A memoir that refuses silence — and shows what it really takes to reclaim your life.

  An unconventional memoir of conjuring the uncertain past and a long-lost homeland, and a vital document of one family's journey through world history. 
   
   
   
  With the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, the U.S. war in Vietnam ended, but the refugee crisis was only beginning. Among the millions of people who fled Vietnam by boat were Vinh Nguyen, along with his mother and siblings, and his father, who left separately and then mysteriously vanished. 
   
   
   
  Decades later, Nguyen goes looking for the story of his father. What he discovers is a sea of questions drifting above sunken truths. To come to terms with the past, Nguyen must piece together the debris of history with family stories that have been scattered across generations and continents, kept for decades in broken hearts and guarded silences. 
   
   
   
  The Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse takes listeners on a poignant tour of disappeared refugee camps, abandoned family homes, and the lives that could have been. As the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches, this powerful memoir is timelier and more important than ever, illuminating the stories, real and imagined, that become buried in the rubble of war.

  A heartfelt, honest and witty account of a young doctor's first year of practice, filled with unforgettable characters and surprising events. Dr. Mathur is thrown in the deep end by a rural Texas hospital. He arrives to find that the hospital is bankrupt and has almost no resources. He faces opposition from the other two doctors, suspicion from the people, and the challenges of being an immigrant in the Bible Belt. He is also a husband and father of two curious and lively little girls. In the course of that fateful first year, his frustrating, terrifying and often hilarious encounters in the hospital are interwoven with moving stories about his wife and children. In the ER, he treats emergencies like cardiac arrests, collapsed lungs, and impaled limbs, and at home, he works to create a calm and peaceful refuge. In the course of that momentous year, he gradually wins the confidence of the townspeople by his skills, sincerity, and compassion. He tries to spend time with his family, but often ends up rushing back to care for a patient. This poignant memoir takes the reader into a doctor's life at an intimate level. It shows that the harsh demands of a medical life can be tempered with laughter, sincerity, and humility, to create a life that is truly rewarding and inspiring.
