    Confessions of a Southern Beauty...

    In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. 
     
     
     
    But Patsy's story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. 
     
     
     
    In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world—a world struggling through the civil rights movement, reeling from the death of JFK, and cutting loose with the musical innovations from Memphis and Detroit. Patsy develops a close friendship with a guitarist at Stax Recording Studio, giving her firsthand exposure to the early Memphis Soul Sound. 
     
     
     
    Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen opens and closes with the end of Patsy's time at Mississippi State College for Women on that fateful spring morning in 1968 when she entered the Columbus courthouse. Patsy's story, marked with tragedy and triumph, mirrors that of a growing and evolving South, where change never comes easy.

    Fiona Hill has a unique perspective of the world, having spent time in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia. She has seen the good and bad of all three countries, and realized that the three aren’t all that different. 
    In There Is Nothing for You Here, Hill explains the three countries' post-industrial struggles after World War II, framed within the contest of her own experiences. Many towns and areas have been completely forgotten, which has bred distrust and division. Specifically in the US, this culminated in Donald Trump being elected president, which only furthered the country’s polarization.  
    When people lose hope, they fall victim to populist movements that provide seemingly easy solutions, but in reality, only want to take advantage of their vote. To reverse this trend, we need to provide more opportunities for those who are less fortunate, regardless of race, gender, or place of origin.

    "The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics. 
    Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a "great illusion". 
    Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations. 
    "The Great Illusion" is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time

    Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself. 
     
     
     
    The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying. Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without risks—caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of life. 
     
     
     
    Many care providers believe that their feelings do not matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma, wipe away their tears, and just "suck it up." Here, Omar Reda—a Libyan-born American psychiatrist who as an emergency physician and trauma counselor provided care for medical staff caring for victims of trauma—calls upon other healers to break free from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress, and silent suffering so they can continue to empower and inspire those in their care. 
     
     
     
    Filled with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that prioritizes the health of both client and healer.
