    This intimate and unflinching memoir explores Wen's struggle to survive, and confronts the belief that people don't change. Through appalling abuse and neglect, Wen finds a way to a very different kind of life, embodying resilience, healing and transformation. 
    The story is woven through with the intriguing themes of Wen's life. With humility, understanding and beauty, she delves into the plight of a stammerer, the unbreakable bonds of twinship, and her body's need to dissociate. 
    Wen's evocative imagery transports the reader from the red dirt of Broome, to the streets of India and the mists of Scotland. She crosses the continents, often by bicycle, committing to radical political action and spiritual exploration. These pursuits help forge her growing character. 
    After settling in Scotland, she uncovers buried memories of a terrifying Queensland childhood shrouded in threats and lies, and of her father's links to a Brisbane paedophile gang. 
    'To the outside world, we were the picture-perfect family. No one would have believed me, even if I could have found the words.' 
    She doesn't recoil from facing the truth of her childhood or the unconscionable harm her parents perpetuated. 
    Wen tells how she found her way to her heart and her true gender self. In doing so, she celebrates the power of kindness. Stammering Against Truth is a powerful and empowering book that proves past traumas need not define our futures.

    For centuries, civilizations, philosophers, and faith traditions have wrestled with this question—yet in modern life, work is too often dismissed as a burden or a necessary evil. This book argues otherwise. Through history, religion, and philosophy, it reveals how work has defined humanity, shaped empires, and provided the very structure of life. From the Benedictines’ creed “work is worship”: effort is not punishment, but purpose. Reflections on modern attitudes toward labor, the book makes a compelling case for rediscovering the dignity of toil. Work is not only how we live—it is how we flourish. 
    According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, in a cold room, hot coffee will get colder, never hotter: the heat energy will be dispersed. Similarly, a tidy kitchen gets messier over time unless there is an infusion of human energy to clean it. This tendency of things to disorder is entropy. The law says entropy always increases. Like a giant messy kitchen, the universe is always getting more chaotic - more messy- unless human energy or ingenuity is used to tidy things up. It is the whisper of impermanence in every system, the shadow behind structure, the pulse of transformation. Whether we’re mapping it through thermodynamics, narrative arcs, or karmic unraveling

    Coming to Terms with John F Kennedy

    Coming to Terms with John F. Kennedy offers a nuanced assessment of the thirty-fifth president, whose legacy and impact people continue to debate to this day. Stephen F. Knott examines Kennedy through the lens of five critical issues: his interpretation of presidential power, his approach to civil rights, and his foreign policy toward Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam. Knott also explores JFK's assassination and the evolving interpretations of his presidency, both highly politicized subject matters. What emerges is a president as complex as the author's shifting views about him. 
     
     
     
    The passage of sixty years, from working in the Kennedy Library to a career writing about the American presidency, has given Knott a broader view of Kennedy's presidency and allowed him to see how both the Left and the Right, and members of the Kennedy family, distorted JFK's record for their own purposes. 
     
     
     
    Despite the existence of over forty thousand books dealing with the man and his era, this book offers something new to say about this brief but important presidency. Knott contends that Kennedy's presidency, for better or for worse, mattered deeply and that whatever his personal flaws, Kennedy's lofty rhetoric appealed to what is best in America, without invoking the snarling nativism of his least illustrious successor, Donald Trump.

    An incisive case for trans justice from a powerful new voice 
     
     
     
    In this brilliant introduction to trans politics, journalist Shon Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice. 
     
     
     
    So often, Faye argues, trans people are understood as a "side issue," the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized debate which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice. 
     
     
     
    With skill, rigor, and heart, Faye uncovers the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In this compellingly readable study, she explores issues of class, family, housing, healthcare, sex work, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities. What she finds, ultimately, is that when we fight for trans liberation, we fight for a better world for us all.
