  Hanna Flint speaks from the heart in this personal and incisive reflection on how cinema has been the key to understanding herself and the world we live in. A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences—episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D'Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded like a secret agent—she offers a critical eye on the screen's representation of women and ethnic minorities and their impact on her life, body image, and ambitions, with the humor and eloquence that has made her a leading film critic of her generation. Divided into the sections Origin Story, Coming of Age, Adult Material, Workplace Drama, and Strong Female Character, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society. Warm, funny, engaging, and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to listeners of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.

  An irresistibly moving, funny and urgent memoir about the reality of caring for your parents, when you can barely care for yourself.'Moving and real, as well as splutter-your-tea funny' – Miranda SawyerIt was the kind of phone call we all dread.

Suddenly, you’re a kid again, stranded in the overheated house you grew up in. They need you 24/7, that much is obvious. And you want to help, of course you do. But soon your life starts to unravel almost as quickly as their health.In between bouts of washing, feeding, cooking and fighting there are days that test you, days where everything goes wrong and days where everyone, miraculously rises to the occasion. And in between all of that, you learn how to care. But this time with feeling.Irresistibly funny, unflinching and deeply moving, this is a love letter to family and friends, to carers and to anyone who has ever packed a small bag intent on staying for just a few days. This is a true story of what it really means to be a carer. This is The Reluctant Carer.‘Hilarious, bitter, poignant and profound . . . like an existential soap opera – only with more laughs.‘ - Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan

  Exemplary Couple An - Saint...

  An Exemplary Couple tells the inspiring story of St. Gianna Molla’s marriage to Pietro, and her heroic act of love for her baby, Gianna Emmanuela Molla. Valentina Di Marco’s extensive study of their lives draws heavily from the many letters Gianna and Pietro wrote to each other. This book was first published in Italian and is now published in English with the help of St. Gianna and Pietro’s youngest child. Within these pages, their lives are chronicled from their courtship, engagement, and marriage to their parenting years. You will get a glimpse of how their love for each other grew as they encouraged each other in striving for holiness and a greater love of God. Valentina also shares new details of Pietro’s life as he endeavored to provide for his family during a difficult time in Italy’s history and to faithfully support Gianna through her illness and the decision to save their baby.  
  When reading the lives of the saints, it is often easy to feel that the virtue and sanctity of these holy men and women are somehow out of reach for someone in our present times. However, St. Gianna and Pietro Molla’s story has the opposite effect. Through this book, you will find the simple, yet holy life of a couple devoted to the true call of the marriage vocation: to help each other get to Heaven.  
  As the Church Militant, we have a duty to fight for a culture of life in a society that has widely accepted a culture of death through the rejection of the sanctity of marriage, the family, and the sanctity of life itself. To effectively rally against this rejection of Truth, we must arm ourselves with the virtues exemplified by the saints; learning from St. Gianna Molla and her husband Pietro is a sure way to promote a culture of life.
