Surviving Master Joshua: The...

Karma Said

This is a true story. Master Joshua is a pansexual, polyamorous pro-Dom (a male Dominatrix). He leads a leather tribe and, when we met, was battling accusations of rape and abuse. Master Joshua was the intended subject of my story… until I became it. My own name doesn't matter. I can't use it here. Suffice it to say that I was a reporter and a comfortably married mother of two. But, following Joshua deeper and deeper into New York's sexual underground, I crossed the line between observer and participant. Our experiences changed me: I lied and cheated to facilitate them, though a lying cheater was not who I wanted to become. I wanted to remain a good wife and mother, and a decent person. So did Joshua. But we couldn't have our cake and eat it too… or could we? This is a true story, about one of the least understood and most sensationalized factions of LGBTQA+. But more so, it’s about my own family’s capacity to survive.

Londoni Bride - A Modern Day...

Aklima Bibi

"In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that BLOSSOM at their feet." Albert Schweitzer, Theologian. Aklima Bibi's story is no ordinary story. It reveals a cycle of violence from her forced marriage, the domestic abuse she endured, the failure and subsequent corruption of the police she desperately wanted to help her and even an attempted contract killing. Her sin?; she was an educated British Bangladeshi woman, an intelligent professional who was used and abused in the name of money, property and most significantly, for her UK passport. "We're seeing a generational strategy to emigrate to the UK." Alan Morrison, the British Consul in Bangladesh, BBC – My Forced Unwanted Wedding, 2011. Londoni Bride is the alarming true story of how Aklima found herself a modern-day slave in Britain in the name of honour and izzat. Her experiences are timely and devastating, as they expose the growing trend of trading young women for their extended family's betterment. She was expected to support not only her own family, but her abusive husband's family too. Aklima Bibi has fought valiantly against the odds for her rights as a Muslim woman, for her right to an education, a career and for her children's future. Her story shines a light on a grievous injustice being suffered by countless young British Muslim women today.

Courage meets crisis in a doctor's extraordinary true account on the frontlines of maternal healthcare during a deadly epidemic in Sierra Leone.
In May 2014, as the country grapples with the highest maternal mortality rate globally, a new, invisible threat emerges: Ebola.
Dr Benjamin Black finds himself at the centre of the outbreak. From the life-and-death decisions on the maternity ward to moral dilemmas in the Ebola Treatment Centres, every moment is a crossroads at which a single choice could tip the balance between survival and catastrophe. The tension is palpable, and the stakes are unimaginably high. One mistake, one error of judgment, could spell disaster.
Belly Woman is a powerful piece of reportage and advocacy that draws parallels between two global outbreaks of infectious diseases: Ebola and COVID-19. Black's firsthand experience on the frontlines of a global health crisis bears witness to the raw emotions, tough decisions, such as the need to carry out medically-mandated abortions to save lives, and the unwavering dedication that defines the lives of those who step up when the world needs them most.
Compelling for readers with an interest in medical memoirs, social justice and humanitarianism, as well as healthcare professionals and maternal health caregivers.

Poppy State - A Labyrinth of...

Myriam Gurba

From the award-winning author of Creep comes a powerful book by a writer at the peak of her powers—at once a love letter to California and a literary tour de force that tells the story of resilience and reclamation through a relationship with plants, memory, myth, and indigenous knowledge. Myriam Gurba has lived in California her entire life, with its plants and soils, forests and ecology, immersing herself in the language of the landscape as refracted through the languages and memories of her ancestors. In Poppy State, California plants serve as structural anchors in a wildly inventive work of narrative nonfiction that is part botanical criticism, part personal storytelling, and part study of place. The reader is invited to commune with California with Gurba as their guide, ushered through a compendium of anecdotes, reminiscences, utterances, lists, incantations, newspaper articles, and other ephemera. Through the stories of these plants she comes to a new understanding of what occurs in the cultivation of a soul. Gurba learns if she can care for her body as she does her plants, her soul can thrive—like the California poppy on her kitchen windowsill. And through walks in the Angeles National Forest, she visits oaks, crows, elderberries, and sycamores, while foraging for acorns, flowers, and berries to adorn her altar at home. Poppy State is a riveting tour de force.“The mother of intersectional Latinx identity.” —Cosmopolitan "Scorchingly good."—Cheryl Strayed “The most fearless writer in America.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist  "A truly distinctive, authentic, and dynamic literary voice. . . Myriam Gurba is one of our great American intellectuals." —Los Angeles Times
