A River Is Made - From South...

Anônimo

A River is Made is a true story of a life carried across borders, wars, and generations, told through the eyes of its author, Fazal Moneer Adil. From Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the UAE to the United States, it traces the journey of an Afghan refugee from war to belonging in America.
It is a powerful story spanning five decades of modern Afghan history, and personal sacrifice. Inspired by an Afghan proverb, "Qatra Qatra Darya Mesha"—drop by drop, a river is made, this book culminates in a father’s final, definitive act of generational love: securing for his children, especially his daughter, the priceless American gift of education, freedom, and a voice of their own. From his years as a child born in exile to his service as an interpreter for U.S. Special Operatives in Afghanistan, Fazal weaves a deeply human story of displacement, endurance, and hope.
The book also shares the deeply personal account of his son’s medical trauma, illuminating the universal struggle of families facing unimaginable choices while raising a child with special needs. Both intimate and sweeping, this story bridges the immense weight of historical conflict and the geopolitics of powerful nations with the personal struggle of one Afghan family.
A River Is Made is uniquely positioned for a broad and impact-driven readership seeking a powerful story of resilience, identity, and hope.
This moving audiobook runs approximately seven hours and includes a companion PDF featuring photographs and maps referenced throughout the story.

What Autism Gave Me - A...

Michael Haigwood Goodroe

An Unexpected Story of Hope & Perserverance:  As a young child, something was wrong with Michael.   He lacked basic motor skills and was unable to follow simple instructions or answer questions.  Testing revealed a diagnosis of autism with a low IQ.  Experts insisted that leading an independent life would be impossible for him...and school was not an option.   Supported by documentation and interviews, Michael's heartfelt memoir traces the sustained challenges and turbulent journey he faced.  His life was plagued by failures, negative results, rejections from schools, and inability to complete simple karate moves or participate in activities --all which confirmed the hopeless situation.  But Michael was surrounded by support, and he was encouraged to keep trying no matter how many times he failed.  Developmental progress was not always obvious, but Michael was finding his own unique path.  What Autism Gave Me is a powerful reminder that the human drive to succeed is stronger than any diagnosis.

Hitler's Girl - The British...

Lauren Young

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism. 
Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded. 
As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler. 
Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?
