  How do we live when our loved ones are dying? How do we make sense of the world in their wake? And how do we balance love in the present with memory of the past?
  As she witnesses her mother's descent into dementia and a beloved friend's cruel battle with cancer, Oona Frawley reconsiders the death of her father in New York decades earlier, the loss of her parents' home in Ireland before she was born, and the births of her own children. Balancing between grief at the passing of those closest to her, and joy at the emergence of new life, Frawley has wrought a stunning meditation on memory, family and the brief windows of life we share with those we love.
  Utterly humane, fearlessly honest and always, at its core, hopeful, This Interim Time is a powerful, moving work at once intensely personal and entirely universal.

  Lillian: A True Story of...

  For most of us, the varied parts of our personalities are woven together and unified by our memories. But what happens when we have no memories? What happens when the components of memory (facts, feelings, and body states) are split apart and no longer relate to each other?
   
  When this story began more than 40 years ago, doctors and psychiatrists were mystified by patients with more than one personality. The diagnosis at the time was Multiple Personality Disorder. Lillian was afflicted with this condition owing to severe abuse during her childhood. Her mind held each trauma separately. Each personality took over her body, developing
   a life and personality of its own.
   
  Lillian’s aunt, Jean, became friends with 22 personalities. She played hide and seek with four-year-old Mary, taught five-year-old Amy to write, shopped for undergarments with Robin Jean, and communicated endlessly with each of the others. In the process, each personality revealed its beginnings. Over time, each personality revealed its own memories of their trauma and eventually became integrated.
   
  This is an exquisite and beautifully written story of poverty, transgenerational abuse, mental illness, and the healing power of love, science, and spirituality.
   
  As one reader puts it: “You will laugh, cry, turn away and come back again to its compelling truth.”

  The Last Theorem of Hypatia

  Step into the twilight of Alexandria, where the fall of the Lighthouse and the Great Library ignites an odyssey of knowledge, sacrifice, and redemption. The Last Theorem of Hypatia is an immersive historical audiobook that intertwines the decay of a city under siege with the mysticism of Hellenistic philosophy, tracing the fates of three souls bound by a mechanical star map that holds the essence of a lost era. 
  Through vivid prose and rich sensory detail, listeners are plunged into Alexandria’s collapse in 642 CE: the shattering of bronze mirrors, the echoes of Coptic chants reverberating through dusty ruins, and the relentless pulse of an artifact that could either save or bury its legacy. Meet Nazanine of Ctesiphon, a scholar obsessed with preserving Hypatia’s wisdom; Kassander of Thessalonica, a scarred mercenary driven by hatred for academics yet drawn to the chaos’s gold; and Papo, a blind monk whose faith and prophecies guide his path to redemption. 
  From the fractured mirror chamber of the Lighthouse to the buried depths of the Library, where ancient gears awaken and traps guard forgotten secrets, this epic narrative explores the cost of conquest, the power of knowledge, and the fragile hope of rebirth. Blending meticulous historical detail with the enchantment of Alexandrian lore, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a gripping journey through a world on the brink—where the past murmurs in spirals, the present trembles, and the future hinges on an uncertain dawn. 
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, ancient philosophy, and tales of destiny and sacrifice, this audiobook transports you to the heart of 7th-century Egypt—a land of scholars, warriors, and beacons where every decision resonates through time. Narrated with passion and depth, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a haunting tribute to a lost civilization and the souls who bear its light.
