  'A captivating story of courage, belief, and disillusionment under the persistent tyranny of Russian imperialism. Even after 90 years, Kirsti's story is a testament to the ongoing fight for Freedom.' - Ana Khizanishvili, Human Rights Lawyer
  Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer was originally published in 1942, as war still raged between Finland and the Soviet Union.
  The author of this memoir, Kirsti Huurre (a pseudonym, since it was far too risky to reveal her real name), was a Finnish woman who immigrated to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, convinced the new egalitarian state and workers' paradise would provide a better life for her and her young son; she was hopeful that, once settled, she would be able to send for him. What followed was vastly different to what was promised: a life filled with fear, suspicion, violence and state-run propaganda that spun a web of lies around its people. Kirsti eventually escaped – defying the odds when so many of her friends and loved ones did not.
  Under the Sickle and the Sledgehammer is the first English translation of what became the second most censored book – second only to Mein Kampf – from Finnish libraries after the war. This is a gripping and valuable account of life in Stalin's oppressive Soviet Union.

She was driven to achieve her professional aspirations when others looked for a happy and healthy family and a peaceful environment to call home.

  Unshattered - Surviving My...

  What happens when your mother isn't one person, but 123?
  Emma Churchman's extraordinary memoir follows her search for identity as the eldest child of a woman with one of the most extreme cases of multiple personality disorder (now known as dissociative identity disorder) diagnosed in the 1980s. Never knowing which of her mother' s alters would emerge— the playful child, the raging demon, or the suicidal depressive— Emma became the family's anchor in an ocean of psychological chaos, raising her three younger brothers while navigating a mother who had no clear identity.
  This gripping account captures a lineage of violence over generations leading to a family' s struggles with suicide, addiction, and mental illness. Emma reveals a landscape where reality is shattered: changing personalities, a mother locked in a padded room, a homeless father, a child asking for a bodyguard, alters too young to parent, and a daughter picking up the pieces.
  Emma's transformation leads to her role as a trauma chaplain and then a successful entrepreneur and demonstrates how our deepest wounds can become our greatest wisdom. With raw honesty and hard-won insights, she proves we can choose integration over fragmentation, wholeness over mere survival. This beautifully crafted narrative poses the fundamental question: Is identity predetermined by genetics and environment, or can character be born anew through selective choices?
  For readers who loved Educated and The Glass Castle, this revolutionary story shows that healing isn't just survival— it' s transformation in its most powerful form.

  Black Power Black Lawyer - My...

  Nkechi Taifa

  Black Power, Black Lawyer (BPBL) is a memoir that stitches suspense, calamity, humor, and wit into a tapestry of history, politics, law, culture, and romance. Both serious and scandalous, Nkechi Taifa’s audacious quest for justice is a gripping commentary on life, the perennial nature of human resistance to oppression, and her steadfast embrace of what is just. Sometimes raw, sometimes abrasive, sometimes passionate, Taifa offers her truth unapologetically and unfiltered, with honesty and authenticity. Her memoir tells a rarely heard quest: the search for resisters and rebels and the pursuit of issues on the cutting edge. Many memoirs chronicle iconic leaders of the civil rights era, yet few capture the transformative journeys of ordinary people coming of age during the tumultuous Black Power era. 
  BPBL offers a uniquely personal glimpse from an insider’s perspective into lesser-known chapters of history—from vivid stories of the more militant aspects of the Black liberation struggle to the craziness of congressional “sausage-making.” Journey with Taifa as she bears witness to ancestors, people, and moments that shaped her identity. From sitting on the lap of a brother providing security in the Black Panther Party office; to getting arrested just after graduating from law school; to being accused of being an FBI agent; to representing the lead defendant in the Capitol Bombing case; to being detained at an airport five months pregnant as an alleged enemy of the state; to winning a six-figure settlement in a landmark employment discrimination case against a major news network; to helping spark change to the infamous crack cocaine laws—her quest for justice reigned supreme. 
  This memoir is sure to awaken, inform, provoke, and inspire you to either join—or continue—“The Struggle” in both the suites and the streets!
