    Why does your partner feel so far away... when they're lying right next to you? 
    You used to laugh more. Touch more. Understand each other without saying a word. 
    Now? The silence feels heavier than the arguments. 
    And yet, deep down, you know the connection isn’t gone — it’s just buried. Under stress, routine, misunderstandings, unspoken disappointments. 
    But here’s the truth: 
    Communication isn’t just about “talking.” It’s about knowing each other — truly, deeply — even in the messiest, most vulnerable moments. 
    This audiobook is your quiet, unfiltered guide back to that connection. 
    You’ll finally stop guessing how your partner feels. You’ll stop rehearsing what to say. 
    Instead, you’ll start hearing each other again — and feeling heard, too. 
    Inside, you’ll discover how to: 
    •	Decode your partner’s emotional style — and your own 
    •	Get past surface-level “issues” to uncover what’s really going on 
    •	Use empathy to defuse tension instead of escalating it 
    •	Build trust through small, everyday moments — not big declarations 
    •	Spot the patterns that keep fueling arguments (and change them without blame) 
    •	Reconnect without needing hours of therapy or impossible compromises 
    •	Understand how childhood, past relationships, and personal goals shape your dynamic 
    •	Ask better questions that actually bring you closer 
    •	Create shared goals without losing your identity 
    •	Repair emotional intimacy — even if things feel fragile right now 
    If you're ready to drop the defenses, clear the confusion, and feel close again — for real this time…You won’t just want this. You’ll need it.

    “Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”  
    –Sasha Velour 
    This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. 
    Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible. 
    From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.” 
    From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation! 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world. Often overlooked by history are the extraordinary true-life stories of the brave women from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who enlisted in the Allied forces in their thousands to serve as nurses behind the front lines, at great danger to themselves. And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare. 
    These untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse—from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships. 
    Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you’ll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including 
    ●      what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty, 
    ●      the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, 
    ●      how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race, 
    ●      true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more. 
    The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness. If you haven’t yet met heroes such as Vivian Bullwinkel and Margot Turner, you’ll definitely want to listen to this book.

    Awarded by the President of the United States in the name of Congress, the Medal of Honor commemorates those who have shaped our nation's history and continue to inspire its future with their acts of valor, humanity, patriotism, and sacrifice. New Jersey has been credited with ninety-three honors in the state's military history. Robert Augustus Sweeney was the recipient of two non-combatant medals when he jumped into stormy waters to save a fellow sailor twice becoming one of only nineteen double Medal of Honor recipients of all time and the only African American to do so. On the infamous day of December 7, 1941, Peter Tomich, serving on the USS Utah, sprung to action when it became evident his ship would capsize from the two Japanese torpedoes, staying behind to man the fireroom to ensure the boilers were secured to prevent an internal fire and saving countless additional deaths.Author Peter Zablocki reveals the harrowing stories of New Jersey's most valorous moments in the defense of our nation and freedom around the world.
