  Every adoption is rooted in loss. 
   
   
   
  Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions. 
   
   
   
  Adoptee and counselor Cameron Lee Small names the realities of the adoptee's journey, narrating his own and other adoptees' stories in all their complexity. He unpacks the history of how adoption has worked and names how the church influenced adoption practices with unintended negative impacts on adoptees' faith. Small's own tumultuous search for and reunion with his mother in Korea inspired him to help other adoptees navigate what it means to carry multiple stories. His adoptee-centered advocacy helps adoptees regain their agency and identity on a journey of integration and healing, with meaningful relationships in all their family systems.

  If you could have a dinner party with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? 
   
   
   
  That's the question film critic and food writer Alissa Wilkinson answered as she gathered a hypothetical table of women who challenged norms and defied conventional wisdom. 
   
   
   
  Ella Baker, Alice B. Toklas, Hannah Arendt, Octavia Butler, Agnes Varda, Elizabeth David, Edna Lewis, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin: these smart, engaging, revolutionary, and creative twentieth-century women were all profoundly influenced by their own relationships to food, drink, and other elements of sustenance. 
   
   
   
  In Salty, Wilkinson explores the ways food managed to root these women into their various callings. For some, it was cultivating perseverance in the face of hardship. For others, it was nurturing a freedom to act, even in the face of opposition, toward justice and equality. For others, it was an examination of what it means to be human with all its desire, heartbreak, sacrifice, isolation, and liberty. 
   
   
   
  Salty is Alissa Wilkinson's invitation to you. Join these sharp, empowered, and often subversive women and discover how to live with courage, agency, grace, smarts, snark, saltiness, and sometimes feasting—even in uncertain times.

  Award-winning Indigenous author Harold R. Johnson discusses the promise and potential of storytelling. 
  Approached by an ecumenical society representing many faiths, from Judeo-Christians to fellow members of First Nations, Harold R. Johnson agreed to host a group who wanted to hear him speak about the power of storytelling. This book is the outcome of that gathering. In The Power of Story, Johnson explains the role of storytelling in every aspect of human life, from personal identity to history and the social contracts that structure our societies, and illustrates how we can direct its potential to re-create and reform not only our own lives, but the life we share. Companionable, clear-eyed, and, above all, optimistic, Johnson’s message is both a dire warning and a direct invitation to each of us to imagine and create, together, the world we want to live in.

  INSIDE THE CRIMINAL 'S MINDHave you ever questioned how a devoted mother could deliberately and coldly take the life of her own child in the bathtub—the very child for whom she had just prepared breakfast? What dark forces could have been at work within her mind at that moment? How did such thoughts take hold? Were they embedded deep within her psyche long before the act?What compels individuals to cross the most sacred moral boundaries? What hidden patterns emerge within their minds? What common traits do they share?For decades, scholars and scientists have sought to determine whether criminal behavior is the product of genetic inheritance or the consequence of environmental and social influences.In this compelling examination of the criminal psyche, Inside the Criminal’s Mind ventures beyond the headlines, delving into the neurological and psychological forces that drive some of history’s most notorious offenders—such as Andrea Yates, Jeffrey Epstein, and John Wayne Gacy. This work dissects the minds of those who defy humanity’s most fundamental moral codes. Through the advanced study of neuroscience and psychology, we expose the structural anomalies and chemical imbalances within the brain that may underlie their actions. Pioneering research on the role of genetics—initiated by Cesare Lombroso in the late 19th century—laid the foundation for understanding how inherited traits might predispose individuals to criminal behavior and how such tendencies might one day be identified, or even prevented.Inside the Criminal’s Mind offers clear, research-based insights into these unsettling questions. Within these pages, you may come to realize that the seemingly ordinary neighbor next door is far more complex—and perhaps far more dangerous—than you ever imagined.
