  Welcome to Running in Slippers, a funny yet heartfelt memoir where Angie takes you through her journey of rock-bottom moments after a bad breakup and the loss of her father. It's a wild ride of misguided attempts to fill the empty space in her life — think of it like a train wreck you just can't stop watching. As she stumbles through love, loss, and trying to figure herself out, Angie’s story pulls you in with raw emotion and unexpected twists. 
  In a world where we’re all wearing masks—whether on social media or in person—and disconnected more than ever (thanks, COVID!), it’s easy to forget how real life actually feels. Everything is filtered and edited, and we rarely see the everyday struggles that everyone is going through. 
  But real connection doesn’t come from being perfect, it comes from being real. It’s scary to show up as your true self and risk rejection, but that’s exactly what Angie’s doing. She’s ripping off the masks to remind us all that vulnerability is where the magic happens.

  From 1861 till his assassination in 1865, Abraham Lincoln was an American legal representative and statesman who functioned as the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, preserving the Union, eliminating slavery, enhancing the federal government, and helping the economy of the United States. 
  Lincoln grew up on the frontier, mainly in Indiana, and was born into poverty in a log cabin. He was self-taught and went on to end up being a legal representative, Whig Party leader, Illinois state lawmaker, and member of the U.S.A. Congress for Illinois. 
  In 1849, he resumed his law business, but was bothered by the Kansas-- Nebraska Act, which permitted farther terrain to be opened to slavery. In 1854, he went back to politics as a leader of the freshly formed Republican politician Party, and in 1858, he disputed Stephen Douglas in front of a nationwide audience. 
  Let’s learn more about this distinct, important, prominent figure in the United States’ history.

  What is it that fascinates so many people about Ronnie Biggs and makes him a household name sixty years on from the crime that made his name?

  What happens when someone you love suddenly cliff-dives into mental illness? And then you discover that there may be no return?
  		 
  This experimental memoir reflects on the author’s intimate and complicated relationship with a woman diagnosed with suicidal depression, and the startling and chaotic new world of locked wards, heavy medications, and electroconvulsive therapy that follows.
  		 
  Interweaving personal essays, fragmented prose, poetry, stream-of-consciousness, and text exchanges, this collage-style book invites the reader into the mysterious world of a treatment-resistant condition and illuminates the urgency and intimacy of caring for someone with an ultimately fatal mental illness. Running through the center of the narrative is the relationship between two people whose fierce love for each other is both the tie that binds and the anchor that drowns.
  		 
  Lifeline is a testament to the importance of hard conversations, humor, and dignity in the face of a courageous battle for sanity; an interrogation of the flaws in the medical system; a debate on when life stops being worth living; and a conversation and reflection on what it means to love someone enough to go on without them.
