  “The doctor can make the incision, but I’ll make the  decision.” — Shirley Temple Black“I have a streak of stubbornness and a loud voice.” — Rose Kushner“I believe that one must leave the world a better place than you found it.” — Evelyn Lauder 
   
  There was a time when women’s health was repressed and breast cancer wasn’t discussed, but Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that changed the way society addresses breast cancer.When these “radical sisters” were diagnosed, they faced a medical world of myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was absent, and treatment options were scarce. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn—empowered by their diagnoses—became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women’s health. Their efforts opened the conversation and set the stage for a new era of breast cancer advocacy.Radical Sisters, researched by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, chronicles their powerful journeys. Taking cues from the women’s health and AIDS movements, these inspirational women demanded a shift in how society viewed breast cancer: a cause worthy of public attention and action.More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. They stand on the shoulders of these brave women, whose legacy has empowered generations to advocate for better healthcare, increased research, and greater awareness.

  In 2021, Charlie Bird was diagnosed with motor neurone disease – a man whose voice was so synonymous with his career faced losing it completely. Yet knowing he had just a short time left with family and friends, what emerged was a great sense of resilience and motivation to take advantage of every moment.

  The first gem in the Buried Treasures series—stories unearthed from the heart, where memory and meaning intertwine. 
  What do you do when your memories are lost, hidden somewhere deep in the dusty corners of your mind—especially the ones that matter most? 
  Mum & Me at the Hippy Campus is a poetic and heartfelt journey into the foggy halls of memory, where one woman sets out to reclaim the flickering fragments of her mother, lost too soon. Blending memoir with lyrical reflection, this audiobook is both a tribute and a treasure hunt. 
  With a wink and a nod, the author refers to her brain as the “hippy campus”—a playful twist on the word hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory. Here, in this imaginary tie-dyed university of recollection, she searches for long-forgotten laughter, the scent of shared moments, and the comforting cadence of her mother’s voice. 
  What unfolds is a moving meditation on love, loss, grief, and healing—told with wit, warmth, and deep emotional resonance. It’s a book for anyone who’s ever wanted to hold onto someone who slipped away too soon… and for those learning to remember again, one gentle step at a time.

  Rowing upon the Tigris River to enjoy a summer campfire on the tiny islands that emerged every summer, teenaged Joseph Samuels never could have imagined that these waters would soon become his only hope for freedom. At the age of 19, he was forced to leave his family behind as he smuggled out of Iraq in the secret hold of a Basra riverboat to escape the violent and repressive anti-Semitism that, over the next few years, would spell the end of the two-millennium-old Iraqi Jewish community."Beyond the Rivers of Babylon" follows Joe's remarkable journey, from his colorful childhood in the Old Jewish Quarter of Bagdad, to his life-altering service in the Israeli Navy, to starting a family and building a real estate empyrean Montreal and Los Angeles.Blessed with a remarkable vivid memory and a keen ability to look inward, Joe paints a sensory landscape of a home that is no more, and in the process imparts the lessons of a life lived to its fullest.Joe Samuels' memoir is a joyous recollection from a man who turned misfortune into tremendous success. One third of Bagdad consisted of Jewish citizenry... what became of them is captured in this one story of a man who refused to be beaten...- Glenn M. Benest, screenwriter and author of INK
