  Renewal - From Crisis to...

  This audiobook narrated by acclaimed author Anne-Marie Slaughter tells a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political lives
  
  America and much of the world are deeply divided over identity, equality, and history. Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughter's candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future.
  
  Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of self‐examination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns. She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection. The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long. That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal. The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for any individual or institution that is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision.
  
  Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and change makers of tomorrow.

  True strength lies in the courage to be yourself and speak your truth. 
  When Kath Essing recalled the sexual abuse from her childhood, her life turned upside-down. The secret had been hidden for decades, even from herself.  
  After 23 years of navigating her own mental health issues, Kath was ready to face her greatest challenge and disclose the experiences of her childhood sexual abuse to police. 
  The complicated history meant it wasn’t going to be easy to prove the historical sexual crimes; but this was more than seeking justice; it was about having the courage to speak up, finding the strength to heal, and shatter the silence that suffocated her. 
  This intimate memoir invites the reader into the confronting world of childhood abuse, family dynamics, and the emotional and psychological aspects of surviving and recovering as an adult. Kath’s story inspires readers to reclaim their voice by remembering, recovering, and reportingthe experiences of childhood sexual abuse. 
  The Courage to Speak Your Truth helps uplift survivors and enable them to transform their pain to purpose and change the conversation regarding childhood abuse. Kath advocates that together – with courage – survivors can shift the narrative of child abuse and dismantle the silence that maintains its cycle.

  Hidden Portraits - Six Women Who...

  From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
   
  Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
   
  In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.
