    Every day life can be challenging for a normal person juggling work, school, a family, and home, not to mention the unexpected things that can financially and mentally add additional stress. As we age, we all learn how to cope and deal with life's challenges. Now imagine you’re 8 8-year-old who has lost his mother, who he loved dearly, and has no home or money. The only thing he owns is the clothes on his back. The one solid thing that he can call his own is his superior knowledge and his desire to continue to learn. Zack doesn’t realize he is above average; he looks at himself as a kid on the street who no one would be willing to help or take in. He’s also decided that he will not be taken to a foster home that he wouldn’t survive, but that he would do whatever it takes to survive living on the streets. As time goes on, everyone who meets and talks to Zack is quite touched by him. He’s never rude or mean to anyone and is very appreciative of the little things in life. He knows his life isn’t normal like everyone else, but he accepts that. He makes the most of what he does have and what’s available to him without taking advantage of anything or anyone. Follow his four-year journey from having nothing to accomplishing something that no one thought possible. His story and his life are both an incredible inspiration.

    The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
     
     
     
    Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
     
     
     
    With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.

    The Latter Days of Wizadora -...

    She was once a whimsical wizardess solving magical mishaps on children’s television. Now she’s navigating midlife, burnout, and the absurdities of modern life—one disastrous spell at a time. 
    The Latter Days of: Wizadora is a biting satire that reimagines a beloved childhood icon in a world where magic has become mundane, nostalgia is monetized, and the pressure to "find yourself" can only be solved with too much gin. 
    Once an effortlessly magical being who captivated young audiences, Wizadora now lives above a vape shop in Luton, working a soul-sucking job at the Department of Arcane Complaints and Refunds. Her wand’s broken, her plants are staging protests, and her magical mishaps—including summoning her naked ex in front of a Parent & Witchcraft group—have made her a viral sensation for all the wrong reasons. 
    This novel skewers the societal obsession with staying young, relevant, and "magical" in an increasingly cynical, oversaturated world. It takes a sharp, hilarious look at the illusions of modern life—where social media influencers glow with "ancient prophecies," smartphones sprout wings, and the self-help industry has turned every personal failure into a product. 
    Wizadora’s journey is about coming to terms with who we thought we should be, versus who we really are—and the hilarious, painful absurdity of it all. 
    Through wit, absurdity, and surprisingly tender moments, The Latter Days of: Wizadora offers a scathing commentary on nostalgia, societal expectations, and the overwhelming pressure to "find your magic" in a world that no longer believes in it. 
    Magic isn’t what it was. But neither are we. And that’s fine.

    City of Newsmen - Public Lies...

    Americans' current trust in journalists is at a dismayingly low ebb, particularly on the subject of national and international politics. It might be tempting to look back to the mid-twentieth century, when the nation's press corps was a seemingly venerable and monolithic institution that conveyed the official line from Washington with nary a glint of anti-patriotic cynicism. As Kathryn McGarr's City of Newsmen shows, however, the real story of what Cold War–era journalists did and how they did it wasn't exactly the one you'd find in the morning papers. 
     
     
     
    City of Newsmen explores foreign policy journalism in Washington during and after World War II—a time supposedly defined by the press's blind patriotism and groupthink. McGarr ventures into the back hallways and private clubs of the 1940s and 1950s to show how white male reporters suppressed their skepticism to build one of the most powerful and enduring constructed realities in recent US history—the Washington Cold War consensus. Though by the 1960s, this set of reporters was seen as unduly complicit with the government—failing to openly critique the decisions and worldviews that led to disasters like the Vietnam War—McGarr shows how self-aware these reporters were as they negotiated for access, prominence, and, yes, the truth—even as they denied those things to their readers.
