  In this memoir of identity and discovery, Vanessa A. Bee explores the way we define "home" and "belonging"—from her birth in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to her adoption, to experiencing housing insecurity in Europe and her eventual immigration to the US. After her parents' divorce, Vanessa traveled with her mother to Lyon and later to London, eventually settling in Reno, Nevada, as a teenager, right around the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing market. At twenty, still a practicing evangelical Christian and newly married, Vanessa applied to and was accepted by Harvard Law School, where she was one of the youngest members of her class. There, she forged a new belief system, divorced her husband, left the church, and pursued a career in economic justice upon graduation. 
   
   
   
  Vanessa's upbringing has caused her to grapple for years with foundational questions such as: What is home? Is it the country we're born in, the body we possess, or the name we were given and that identifies us? Is it the house we remember most fondly, the social status assigned to us, or the ideology we forge? What defines us and makes us uniquely who we are? 
   
   
   
  Vanessa tackles these timeless questions thematically and unpacks the many layers that contribute to and condition our understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world.

  Witness - Stories

  Jamel Brinkley

  What does it mean to really see the world around you—to bear witness? And what does it cost us, both to see and not to see? 
   
  In these ten stories, each set in the changing landscapes of contemporary New York City, a range of characters—from children to grandmothers to ghosts—live through the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. Though they strive to  
  connect with, stand up for, care for, and remember one another, they often fall short, and the structures they build around these ambitions and failures shape their futures as well as the legacies and prospects of their communities and their city. 
   
  In its portraits of families and friendships lost and found, the paradox of intimacy, the long shadow of grief, and the meaning of home, Witness enacts its own testimony. Here is a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in just a few generations, where strangers might sometimes  
  show kindness while those we trust—doctors, employers, siblings—too often turn away, where joy comes in snatches: flowers on a windowsill, dancing in the street, glimpsing your purpose, change on the horizon. 
   
  With prose as upendingly beautiful as it is artfully, seamlessly crafted, Jamel Brinkley offers nothing less than the full scope of life and death and change in the great, unending drama of the city.

  What’s Wrong with Modern Dating...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Dating apps promised to make love easier. Instead, they turned attraction into a permanent audition. 
   
  Every swipe asks for an instant judgment. Every match creates another possibility. Every unanswered message, ghosted conversation, and disappointing first date adds another small layer of frustration. The result is a dating culture built around endless choice—but often marked by anxiety, exhaustion, comparison, and loneliness. 
   
  What’s Wrong with Modern Dating and Dating Apps explains how swipe mechanics changed attraction, why the same apps create different costs for different people, why ghosting became normal, and how dating platforms keep users evaluating themselves and everyone else. 
   
  The audiobook also examines the collapse of real-world meeting places, the loneliness that can exist inside a relationship, and the way dating apps can become a substitute for building a social life. 
   
  Most importantly, it offers a practical way forward: how to use dating apps without letting them use you, how to rebuild a life that creates real opportunities for connection, and how to recognise a relationship worth having.
