  Not Your Mother's Mystic is a raw, fearless memoir about spiritual awakening in the middle of a seemingly ordinary life, where profound transformation doesn't begin with seeking, but with surrender. 
  Kathryn Brewer had done everything “right.” She built a stable career in corporate finance, raised two kids, paid the mortgage, and followed all the unspoken rules. From the outside, her life looked secure. But under the surface, she was unraveling: exhausted, unseen, and spiritually starving. 
  Then came the crack in the façade: a vivid visitation dream that jolted her into a new reality. What followed wasn’t a peaceful evolution. It was a full-on spiritual ambush. One that began in dreams and continued in ordinary moments, like folding laundry on a Tuesday. And it didn’t come quietly. It demanded everything. 
  With brutal honesty and defiant humor, Kathryn shares her path from burnout and disconnection to awakening as an evidential medium, a woman who helps others reconnect with lost loved ones and rediscover their own intuitive power. 
  This is not a tale of instant enlightenment or spiritual gloss. It’s a story for women in the messy middle. For those who know deep down that they’ve outgrown the life they were told to want. For those who’ve glimpsed something sacred in the chaos and dared to believe there might be more. 
  Along the way, Kathryn explores radical delusion: the audacious, sometimes reckless-looking choice to believe in yourself in a society set on keeping you small. It’s the kind of belief that disrupts your life in all the right ways and insists on a new future. 
  Not Your Mother's Mystic is for misfits, magic-makers, burned-out overachievers, and women who can’t keep faking fine. It’s for those who’ve done everything they were supposed to and are still asking, “Is this it?” 
  This book speaks to women navigating awakening, motherhood, burnout, mediumship, grief, identity collapse, and the terrifying freedom of becoming who they were always meant to be.

  The new memoir from the author of the BBC Radio 2 Book Club Recommended Read The Tin Nose Shop. 
  When writer Don Snyder travels to Ukraine in the midst of war, he is drawn by the story of one woman: Iryna, whose husband and beloved brother volunteered to defend their country and never returned. 
  As he follows the traces of their lives – from childhood under the Soviet Union to the promise of an independent Ukraine, from first love and family life to the devastation of loss – he discovers a story that is at once deeply personal and profoundly universal. Through Iryna’s memories, the voices of those left behind, and the enduring bonds of family, a portrait emerges of a people determined to preserve their humanity in the face of violence. 
  Part love story, part war testimony, and part meditation on grief, memory, and the passing of time, The Time They Had explores what remains after everything seems to have been taken away. Set against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it is a moving account of courage, resilience, and the lives that continue long after the headlines have faded. Above all, it is a tribute to the power of love to outlast loss, and to the stories that keep the dead alive in the hearts of those who remember them.

  First In Last Out - An American...

  A Vietnam veteran recounts his experience through two tours of duty—early in the conflict and then in its final stages. Fresh out of West Point, John Howard arrived for his first tour in Vietnam in 1965, the first full year of escalation when U.S. troop levels increased dramatically, from 23,000 to 184,000. When Howard returned for a second tour in 1972, troop strength stood at 24,000 and would dwindle to a mere fifty the following year. He thus participated in the very early and very late stages of American military involvement in the Vietnam War.   Howard’s two tours—the first as a platoon commander and member of an elite counterguerrilla force, and the second as a senior advisor to the South Vietnamese—provide a fascinating lens through which to view not only one soldier’s experience in Vietnam, but also the country’s.

  Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of modern science fiction and adventure literature. Writing during the nineteenth century, he combined scientific curiosity, geographical exploration, and imaginative storytelling to create novels that inspired generations of readers. Many of his ideas anticipated future technologies long before they became reality. 
   
  Born in France in 1828, Verne achieved international fame through his celebrated Voyages Extraordinaires series, which included classics such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, and From the Earth to the Moon. His stories carried readers across oceans, beneath the earth, into the skies, and beyond the limits of contemporary knowledge. 
   
  This biography traces Verne's journey from aspiring writer to one of the most widely read authors in history. Drawing upon historical records, correspondence, and literary scholarship, it explores the life, imagination, and enduring legacy of a man whose works helped shape modern popular fiction. More than a century after his death, Jules Verne remains a symbol of adventure, discovery, and the limitless possibilities of human imagination.
