Trauma Recycled - A Memoir of...

Anne Peshka

From the outside, my life looks like the American dream—successful real estate business, six-figure income, beachside afternoons with my dog. But the truth? My journey began in a crib, nameless, waiting to be chosen. I was adopted into a family that would grow to eight children, where dysfunction ruled and abuse became a nightly terror. Survival meant enduring, but when given a choice between chaos and the unknown, I ran—straight into addiction, young motherhood, and rock bottom. 
Through heartbreak, loss, and the relentless grip of self-destruction, I clawed my way toward something more. Sobriety became my rope, but fear of motherhood drove me to keep climbing. I wasn’t the perfect mother, but I was determined to rise. I’ve taken a life filled with pain and trauma and recycled it into the very best parts of me. That is my power. The ability to transform my past, to turn suffering into strength, is what has allowed me to create the life I have today. 
This is not a rags-to-riches story—it’s a story of choice, resilience, and the power of rewriting our own narrative. Trauma may shape us, but it does not have to define us. We all have the power to rise, to heal, and to create the future we deserve. My story is proof that you can, too.

The Forgotten Warrior - From the...

David G. Stone

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What if the most important warrior in Japanese history was never supposed to be there? 
Torn from his homeland on the shores of Mozambique, Zuberi thought his story was over. Enslaved by Portuguese raiders, forced into military service, shipwrecked on foreign shores—every twist of fate seemed designed to destroy him. 
But destiny had other plans. 
In feudal Japan, where honor is everything and outsiders are nothing, one man's courage will defy tradition, challenge an empire, and forge an alliance that history forgot to remember. 
From the blood-soaked beaches of East Africa to the cherry blossom gardens of Kyoto, The Forgotten Warrior reveals the extraordinary true-to-life tale of how a Mozambican slave became a samurai legend—and how his choices shaped the course of two nations forever. 
Some warriors are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. 
But the greatest warriors are forged in the fires of the impossible. 
"A masterpiece of historical fiction that brings forgotten voices to vivid life."

Oliver Cromwell - The English...

Kelly Mass

Oliver Cromwell was an English army and statesman who led Parliamentary armies against King Charles I throughout the English Civil War. From 1653 till his death in the year 1658, he lead the British army in the British Islands area. 
Why was he so hated by so many? And is this image of him historically correct? 
Even though we cannot go back in time 450 years ago, we can certainly try to find the answers in the sources we have. 
The reason why people thought he was so evil, is because of his brutality against the Irish at that time. Several Irish and English scholars agree that Cromwell was too cruel in Ireland. Other academics blame him of 'ethnic cleansing,' or the systematic expulsion of a certain ethnic population from a territory. It typically entails the execution and deportation of Catholics, and that he is despised by Irish Catholics. 
Is this true? And why did he do this? 
Find out more about his time, his life, his circumstances and his legacy.

Rolling Thunder Against the...

Gene Eric Salecker

This WWII history sheds light on the extensive use of armored fighting vehicles in the Pacific Theater from the Philippines to Okinawa.   Although the history of armor in World War II has captured the attention of countless authors, the extensive use of tanks in the Pacific has gone largely unexamined. Now historian Gene Eric Salecker corrects this oversight. With comprehensive detail, Salecker describes the exploits of American tanks on the jungle islands where troops engaged in savage combat and encountered unforgiving weather and terrain.    Stationed in the Philippines when the Japanese attacked the islands in 1941, the U.S. Army's independent tank battalions fought from the very start of the war. From New Guinea and the Solomons to Makin, Saipan, and Guam, American armor proved instrumental in winning World War II in the Pacific.

The Chain - Love Betrayal and...

Chimene Suleyman

“[Suleyman’s] narration brings a palpably chilling authority to a story she shouldn’t have to tell.” — Vulture 
A devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny. 
In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that the man she’d loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many others. 
In this spellbinding memoir, Suleyman exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite—and in spite of—him. With radiant prose and incisive observation, Suleyman questions society’s complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts. 
A soul-baring story, brilliant cultural critique, and celebration of the healing power of sisterhood, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.
