  Rachel Cusk meets Nora Ephron in this intimate and evolving portrait about the end of a marriage and how life can fall apart and be rebuilt in wonderful and surprising ways. 
   
   
   
  One minute Elizabeth Crane and her husband of fifteen years are fixing up their old house in Upstate New York, finally setting down roots after stints in Chicago, Texas, and Brooklyn, when his unexpected admission—I'm not happy—changes everything. Suddenly she finds herself separated and in couples therapy, living in an apartment in the city with an old friend and his kid. It's understood that the apartment and bonus family are temporary, but the situation brings unexpected comfort and much-needed healing for wounds even older than her marriage. 
   
   
    
  Crafting the story as the very events chronicled are unfolding, Crane writes from a place of guarded possibility, capturing through vignettes and collected moments a semblance of the real-time practice of healing. At turns funny and dark, with moments of poignancy, This Story Will Change is an unexpected and moving portrait of a woman in transformation, a chronicle of how even the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are bound to change.

  In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote takes on the patriarchy and the political, as well as the intimate and the personal in these beguiling and revealing stories of what it means to be trans and non-binary today, at a time in their life when they must carry the burden of heartbreaking history with them, while combatting those who would misgender them or deny their very existence. These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here too, as Ivan pays homage to personal heroes like Leslie Feinberg and Ferron while gently guiding younger trans folk to prove to themselves that there is a way out of the darkness.
  		 
  Rebent Sinner is the work of an accomplished artist whose plain truths about their experience will astound readers with their utter, breathtaking humanity.

  ADHD Behind Closed Doors is a heartfelt, unfiltered look at what it really means to parent a child with ADHD. It’s not a guidebook or a list of strategies. It’s a raw, honest account of the emotional reality behind the closed doors of families navigating neurodivergence. 
  Told through journal entries, personal stories, and the voice of a mother who has lived every word, this book shines a light on the moments we don’t often talk about, the shame, the guilt, the exhaustion, the deep love, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep going. 
  Mirka Frommenwiler doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers solidarity. With fierce honesty and deep compassion, she names what often goes unnamed, giving voice to the emotional truth of parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould. 
  If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or unsure whether anyone else really understands, this book is for you.

  A WWII Soviet officer recalls leading a battalion of convict-soldiers in this rare firsthand account of a Red Army penal unit. Alexander Pyl’cyn was eighteen years old when he was drafted into the Red Army in 1941. He went on to serve with great distinction, earing the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Great Patriotic War, and the Order of the Red Star for his actions during the war. As the commander of a penal battalion on the Eastern Front, he led an unruly band of convict-soldiers, Gulag prisoners, and former Soviet POWs deemed untrustworthy.   Relegated to the most difficult and dangerous assignments, Pyl’cyn’s unit was called up to break through the enemy’s defenses. He led his penal unit through the Soviets’ massive offensive in the summer of 1944, the Vistula-Oder operation into eastern Germany, and the bitter assault on Berlin in 1945. Though his men suffered massive casualties, and he himself withstood multiple wounds, he survived the war to tell this incredible story.

  Just One More Goal - The...

  David Pleat has lived a life at the heart of football. From his debut as an England Schoolboy international in 1960 to his time as a scout for Tottenham Hotspur up to 2024, his is a story that touches every facet of the professional game. At Luton Town, he is perhaps best remembered for dancing on the pitch after a win over Manchester City secured the club's top-flight survival in 1983. However, his fifteen years at Kenilworth Road were about much more than that.
  In 1986, Pleat was given his shot at the big-time at Tottenham. But for a fabricated tabloid scandal, his sole season as manager, which featured a third-placed finish, an FA Cup final and a League Cup semi-final, might have been the start of a transformation at White Hart Lane. After spells at Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday, Pleat twice returned to Tottenham. Here, he gives his frank assessment of his chairmen, Alan Sugar and Daniel Levy, and an insider's account of the rise and fall of managers from Glenn Hoddle to José Mourinho.
  However, Just One More Goal is not just an account of one man's lifelong obsession with football. It is the story of an evolving game, one that moved away from instinct and spontaneity towards something colder and more technical. David Pleat's memoir is the perfect answer to the question of how modern football became what it is today.

  THE FINAL VOLUME OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
  When Kat Ward put down her pen after finishing the seventh book in her “KERI” series, she considered her mission complete. 
  Nearly twenty years had passed since her therapist originally recommend writing as a means of healing her childhood wounds. And after taking readers on a stomach-twisting journey through her hellish formative years, she was ready to look in the mirror again. 
  However, despite the fact that the series had reached a natural conclusion, reader demand remained insatiable. The epic autobiography that she had never intended to write had reached a worldwide audience, who now wanted to follow Kat’s journey on through adulthood. 
  Humbled by the interest, Kat duly obliged. At this point, she may no longer be the abused child herself, but her journey through hell was still a long way from over… 
  DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.
