  A Grotesque Animal

  At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
   
   
   
  A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-­class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
   
   
   
  Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.

  The Book of Memory - How We...

  A brilliant journey through the nature of memory, helping us understand how what is lost—and what is remembered—shapes who we are.In this revelatory and intimate exploration of the way memory works, Mark Rowlands, author of The Philosopher and the Wolf, reveals how memories aren’t fixed. They soften and consolidate—and are distorted—each time we revisit them, even those memories most deeply ingrained. The way we call on memory is closer to a "negotiation with the past."From episodic memories like "shining islands in dark waters" and forgotten "Rilkean" memories that underpin our personalities and essential style to the memories we might hold that have been authored by others close to us, The Book of Memory draws on philosophical argument, a range of writers and thinkers, the latest neurological research, and psychology experiments to chart how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves.

  Murder may seem easy, and getting away with it even easier, particularly in Indian Country. Big Horn County, MT, where Ms. Bley grew up, bears the unfortunate distinction of having the highest rate of missing and murdered women and girls. Selena Not Afraid fell victim to this hidden epidemic on New Year's Day 2020, disappearing without a trace under mysterious circumstances. Her body was discovered 20 days later in an open field, previously intensively searched. The county sheriff hastily labeled her death as "accidental hypothermia" before she could undergo a thorough examination by a coroner, a cause of death that appears all too common in Crow Indian country. 
  The lack of answers surrounding Selena's disappearance and the questionable cause of her death sparked outrage in the community. 'Stolen Voices: Missing and Murdered in Big Horn County' compellingly recounts the stories of several young Native American Indians who have gone missing or been brutally murdered in Big Horn County. This book not only raises awareness but also sheds light on first-hand perspectives from the family members of Crow and Cheyenne tribal members who were killed. Additionally, it highlights the efforts of those working to make a difference in Indian Country, aiming to reduce instances of violence against Native women. 'Stolen Voices' is a Multi- Award Winning book that delves into the deeper issues at the heart of this hidden epidemic, whose awareness is gaining momentum.

  The Tao of Death is a contemplative journey into the heart of life’s greatest mystery. Inspired by the ancient Tao Te Ching, this poetic adaptation invites you to explore death not with fear, but with reverence—as a sacred teacher that can awaken you to love, presence, and what really matters. 
  Each verse offers a gentle reflection, guiding you beyond the noise of modern life and into a deeper truth: that death and life are not opposites, but partners in the same sacred dance. 
  Whether you are grieving, awakening, or simply longing for a quieter path, this spoken version is designed to be listened to slowly, intuitively—like a meditation. Let it accompany you in stillness, in nature, or during times of transformation. 
  You don’t need to follow a religion to receive this wisdom. 
  You only need to listen with an open heart.
