  We Will Not Cease is the unflinching account of New Zealander Archibald Baxter's brutal treatment as a conscientious objector during World War I. 
  In 1915, when Baxter was 33, he was arrested, sent to prison, then shipped under guard to Europe where he was forced to the front line against his will. Punished to the limits of his physical and mental endurance, Baxter was stripped of all dignity, beaten, starved and left for dead by the New Zealand military. In the final attempt to discredit him authorities consigned him to a mental institution, an experience that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

  What if the investment promoted as a shield for your retirement is actually designed to strip it away?
   
  Across the United States, many retirees are steered into gold IRA deals presented as safe and inflation-proof. Behind those promises lies a system built on fear, confusion, and hidden incentives.
   
  The Gold Grift Exposed reveals how the modern gold IRA industry operates. It examines companies that present themselves as protectors of financial security while exploiting economic anxiety, distrust in institutions, and retirement uncertainty. From high-pressure marketing and misleading endorsements to inflated pricing and carefully crafted sales tactics, the system is designed to appear responsible while producing harmful outcomes.
   
  This book shows how fear-driven messaging creates urgency, how “exclusive” gold and rare-coin claims mask excessive markups, and how trusted voices are used to legitimize risky decisions. It also explains how complex rollover processes obscure true costs, leaving losses unnoticed until it is too late.
   
  Focusing on process rather than rumor, the book traces how these practices work step by step, revealing how ordinary investors are guided into transactions that quietly erode their savings.
   
  This is not an argument against gold itself, but an examination of how it is sold, priced, and structured within retirement accounts—and why so many investors are left surprised when the numbers emerge.
   
  More than an investigation, it also serves as a warning and guide, explaining recovery challenges and how investors can protect themselves before making irreversible decisions.
   
  If you are considering a gold IRA or concerned about safeguarding your retirement, this book offers clarity where the industry depends on confusion.
   
  This is the story behind the promises—and the truth many investors discover too late.

  Sinkhole - The Legacy of a Suicide

  A sublimely elegant, fractured reckoning with the legacy and inheritance of suicide in one American family. This stunning elegy that vividly enacts Emily Dickinson’s dictum to “tell it slant,” Sinkhole richly layers personal, familial, political, and environmental histories to provide not answers but essential, heartbreaking truth.In 2009, Juliet Patterson was recovering from a serious car accident when she learned her father had died by suicide. His death was part of a disturbing pattern in her family. Her father’s father had taken his own life; so had her mother’s. Over the weeks and months that followed, grieving and in physical pain, Patterson kept returning to one question: Why? Why had her family lost so many men, so many fathers, and what lay beneath the silence that had taken hold?In three graceful movements, Patterson explores these questions. In the winter of her father’s death, she struggles to make sense of the loss—sifting through the few belongings he left behind, looking to signs and symbols for meaning. As the spring thaw comes, she and her mother depart Minnesota for her father’s burial in her parents’ hometown of Pittsburg, Kansas. A once-prosperous town of promise and of violence, against people and the land, Pittsburg is now literally undermined by abandoned claims and sinkholes. There, Patterson carefully gathers evidence and radically imagines the final days of the grandfathers—one a fiery pro-labor politician, the other a melancholy businessman—she never knew. And finally, she returns to her father: to the haunting subjects of goodbyes, of loss, and of how to break the cycle.
