  This book is a heart-stopping journey told in first person, which describes unusual courage and uncanny luck. It is the true story of a 13-year-old boy who lost everything during the Holocaust. He fought to live on in spite of ghettos, fatal line-ups, enslavement in work camps, and years of survival as a partisan in Polish forests. 
  From the cover: "His mother had to make a quick decision that no parent would ever want to make. Which of her children had the best chance to survive this calamity? Her son. Anschel, was the oldest and strongest. The two girls had to stay with her no matter what was coming."

  Surviving the Frontier -...

  The story of Aboriginal resilience in Australian history is one of survival, adaptation, and unyielding strength in the face of immense challenges. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples thrived across the diverse landscapes of the continent, developing complex societies deeply connected to the land. However, with the arrival of European settlers, they faced an unprecedented upheaval that threatened not only their way of life but also their very existence. Despite this, Aboriginal communities endured, finding ways to resist, adapt, and preserve their cultural heritage against overwhelming odds. 
  Colonization brought profound disruptions to Aboriginal societies. Traditional lands were seized, sacred sites were desecrated, and entire communities were forcibly removed from their ancestral homes. The introduction of foreign diseases, combined with violence and systematic dispossession, led to devastating population losses. European settlers viewed the land as something to be owned and exploited, disregarding the deep spiritual and cultural relationship that Aboriginal people had maintained with it for millennia. The introduction of colonial laws and policies further marginalized Aboriginal peoples, stripping them of autonomy and attempting to erase their identities through forced assimilation. 
  Yet, even in the darkest periods of history, Aboriginal resilience remained steadfast. Many Aboriginal nations engaged in active resistance, fighting to defend their land and people. Leaders emerged to challenge European incursions, using knowledge of the terrain to their advantage in conflicts now known as the Frontier Wars. Others found ways to survive within the new colonial framework, forming alliances, working within the pastoral industry, or preserving their culture in secret despite government suppression.

  Kelsey had a secret. (Actually, she had several secrets.)  
  While most people in university were going on dates or hanging with friends between classes, Kelsey was unknowingly entering the underground world of sex work. Juggling the demands of being a college athlete while battling with depression and her own self-worth, Kelsey was enticed the first time she heard her college professor mutter the words "sugar baby." 
  In search of money and attention, Kelsey found herself slowly entangled in an industry where she would inadvertently be groomed, ensnared, and ultimately, exploited. Moving to Texas after college, Kelsey scaled her business and began jet-setting around the world, clinging to the illusion that she was in control...that is, until an encounter with the Holy Spirit changed everything. In Folly, Daniels paints an intricate portrait of her path into sex work and the difficult journey to untangle herself from the lure of an industry that had shaped her. In this unfiltered, witty, and raw account of Kelsey's time as an Escort, Folly showcases the dark subculture that exists behind the veil of luxury. This story is a testament to the power of God's grace and mercy, and His ability to meet His children exactly where they are, regardless of setting or circumstance. 
  Author's Note: Before you embark on this listening experience, it's essential to acknowledge that the content of this book touches upon sensitive and challenging themes such as abuse, mental health struggles, and trauma. As such, it may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who may find such topics distressing. I approach these topics with honesty and with the intention of shedding light on the human experience and fostering empathy and understanding around difficult discussions. As you navigate through the chapters of this memoir, I encourage you to proceed with caution and self-care.

  Across the Plains in the Donner...

  The story of the Donner Party is very much the story of James F. Reed's family, not simply because the Reeds were prominent members, but because they left much documentary evidence: diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and letters written en route and interviews shortly after the disaster. 
   
  The adopted daughter of Reed, Virginia Reed Murphy's memoir is a noteworthy recounting of the Donner party disaster and its gruesome end. Her writing is sprightly, informal, and full of human interest.

  Bestselling author Colm O’Regan is a worrier. A professional one. Caution is his watchword. Risk aversion is his love language. Now Colm is grappling with the biggest worry of all: the whole ‘planet being on fire’ thing and how exactly we can help. 
  Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit. 
  So if you’ve fretted about: 
  - using your diesel car to get closer to nature, 
  - eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, 
  - existing 
  and have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you. 
  In Climate Worrier, O'Regan offers a humorous and relatable take on the struggles of trying to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. His essays on the topic are both enlightening and entertaining, making this book a top pick for environmentalists and conservationists alike. 
  For fans of Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Britney Spears (The woman in me).
