  NAACP Image Award Nominee · NPR Best Book of 2022 
  A searing memoir of American racism from a Somalian-American who survived hardships in his birth country only to experience firsthand the dehumanization of Blacks in his adopted land, the United States. 
  “No one told me about America.”  
   Born in Somalia and raised in a valley among nomads, Boyah Farah grew up with a code of male bravado that helped him survive deprivation, disease, and civil war. Arriving in America, he believed that the code that had saved him would help him succeed in this new country. But instead of safety and freedom, Boyah found systemic racism, police brutality, and intense prejudice in all areas of life, including the workplace. He learned firsthand not only what it meant to be an African in America, but what it means to be African American. The code of masculinity that shaped generations of men in his family could not prepare Farah for the painful realities of life in the United States.  
  Lyrical yet unsparing, America Made Me a Black Man is the first book-length examination of American racism from an African outsider’s perspective. With a singular poetic voice brimming with imagery, Boyah challenges us to face difficult truths about the destructive forces that threaten Black lives and attempts to heal a fracture in Black men’s identity.

  When Reality Breaks -...

  When Reality Breaks explores what happens when psychological abuse quietly fractures your sense of self. 
  If you left a relationship knowing something was wrong, yet still doubt your memory, judgment, or reactions, this book is for you. Psychological abuse is often subtle and destabilizing, unfolding through contradiction rather than cruelty, slowly eroding trust in your own perception. 
  This inner conflict is called Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance, the result of prolonged manipulation, emotional invalidation, and distorted responsibility. It affects how you think, feel, and understand yourself, long after the relationship ends. 
  Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this book explains the relational dynamics that disrupt self trust and why healing can feel confusing. You will learn why clarity does not return immediately, how your mind adapted to survive, and how to restore trust in yourself, rebuild boundaries, and reconnect without fear. 
  You are not broken. 
   You were not imagining things. 
   Healing begins with understanding what disrupted you and reclaiming the clarity that was taken from you.

  Disability and the Church - A...

  Lamar Hardwick was thirty-six years old when he found out he was on the autism spectrum. While this revelation helped him understand and process his own experience, it also prompted a difficult re-evaluation of who he was as a person. And as a pastor, it started him on a new path of considering the way disabled people are treated in the church. 
   
   
   
  Disability and the Church is a practical and theological reconsideration of the church's responsibilities to the disabled community. Too often disabled persons are pushed away from the church or made to feel unwelcome in any number of ways. As Hardwick writes, "This should not be." He insists that the good news of Jesus affirms God's image in all people, and he offers practical steps and strategies to build stronger, truly inclusive communities of faith.

  'Harpy is a tonic; a tongue-in-cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition-style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family' VOGUE
  
  
  'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
  'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE
  
  Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.
  
  In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.
