    Occupied: Civilian Life During World War II reveals the untold story of ordinary people living under extraordinary circumstances. Set in France during the Nazi occupation, this book brings to life the daily struggles, quiet acts of courage, and moral dilemmas faced by civilians caught between survival and resistance. 
Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Occupied captures a world where scarcity shapes every meal, whispers replace open conversation, and even small choices carry weighty consequences. From families stretching rations and bartering for coal, to neighbors deciding whom they could trust, it paints an intimate portrait of life lived under constant watch. 
This is not a history of generals and battlefields, but of kitchens, marketplaces, and hidden courtyards. It is the story of mothers and fathers, children and grandparents, whose endurance and humanity carried them through the darkest years of the twentieth century. 
Occupied is both a moving testimony to resilience and an essential lens on the human cost of war, a reminder that behind every headline of conflict are countless lives forever altered by occupation.

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

    “Yes you will absolutely be reborn, yes you will rebuild something more beautiful than before, but essentially a death took place in that moment and that is irreversible…” 
-a Survivor 
  
It is an honor and a privilege to be an ally to a survivor of sexual assault. She allows you close to her pain and you help her heal—with no expectations on her. It’s not a commitment to enter lightly. 
If Jesus has burdened your heart for a survivor, but you don’t know what to do, start with this book. It will take work, prayer, and patience, but she’s worth it. 
  
The book has four main sections: 
1) What it means to be a survivor. 
2) What it means to be an ally. 
3) How to be an ally. 
4) Reach out to her. 
  
My intent is to break your heart and prepare you to be the ally your survivor friend needs. You will learn about the crime, read four other books (listed below), and then, with your friend’s permission, you’ll write a series of letters meant to encourage her and build an allyship. It’s a process designed around her, her needs, and her safety. 
  
And who am I, you ask? I’m no one special, but God used my friendship with a survivor to call me to this work. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many more, and their voices are found all through this text. My hope is to encourage men to get involved in allyship and advocacy.
