  Dying Rose - Six tragic deaths a...

  An investigation into the deaths of six Aboriginal women and the police responses that left families reeling 
    
  'If you think it's hard being a white woman in Australia, try being a black woman.' These were the words that set a team of journalists at the Adelaide Advertiser on an investigation into the tragic deaths of six young Indigenous women. 
  It was Courtney Hunter-Hebberman who uttered those words, up on stage at an International Women's Day event. A shocking number of Indigenous women die every year by murder or suicide, and Courtney's daughter, Rose, was one of them. Rose's apparent death by suicide at nineteen, in a backyard shed, had left her mother craving answers - answers the police seemed unable to give her. 
  Inspired by Courtney's courage and grief, the Advertiser team hoped to shed light on Rose's death and put Courtney's mind at rest. But what they found, as their investigation of one death rolled into another five, was disturbing. Lack of urgency, sloppy searches, poor communication, and assumptions by police were just some of the problems . 
  As the team probed further, even bigger questions about whether Indigenous Australians, especially women, are heard when they speak. 
  Based on the podcast Dying Rose, this is a compelling look at young Indigenous women's vulnerability to danger, and how, when their lives are cut short, their families are left to cope with a grief seemingly compounded by indifference.

  Essays: First Series Friendship

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  A true friend is a paradox—both a mirror and a mystery, a presence that steadies yet unsettles. Emerson's Friendship is not a sentimental tribute but an exploration, as sharp as it is reverent. He does not merely celebrate companionship; he dissects it, questioning the forces that draw souls together and the invisible tensions that hold them apart.
  Friendship, in Emerson's vision, is not mere comfort—it is a force, a demand, a test. It requires space as much as closeness, silence as much as words. It thrives not in constant nearness but in the charged air of mutual respect, in the quiet certainty that the bond endures, even when distance stretches between.
  His words do not ask for easy agreement; they provoke. He suggests that the highest friendships are not found but forged, not effortless but exacting. The reader who enters Friendship expecting warmth may find, instead, a bracing clarity—a recognition that true companionship is both a gift and a discipline, an art as much as an affection. Emerson does not offer a guide to making friends; he offers something rarer: an insight into why, despite all risks, we seek them still.

  The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the color of passports and the color of skin. 
   
   
   
  The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
   
   
   
  Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

  Frances Hodgson Burnett's favorite theme in her fiction was the reversal of fortune, and she herself knew extremes of poverty and wealth. Born in Manchester in 1849, she emigrated with her family to Tennessee because of the financial problems caused by the cotton famine. From a young age she published her stories to help the family make ends meet. Only after she married did she publish Little Lord Fauntleroy that shot her into literary stardom. 
   
   
   
  On the surface, Frances' life was extremely successful: hosting regular literary salons in her home and travelling frequently between properties in the United Kingdom and America. But behind the colorful personal and social life, she was a complex and contradictory character. She lost both parents by her twenty-first birthday, Henry James called her "the most heavenly of women" although avoided her; prominent people admired her and there were many friendships as well as an ill-advised marriage to a much younger man that ended in heartache. Her success was punctuated by periods of depression, in one instance brought on by the tragic loss of her eldest son to consumption. 
   
   
   
  Ann Thwaite creates a sympathetic but balanced and eye-opening biography of the woman who has enchanted numerous generations of children.
