Healing
Lynn's Story - Getting My-Self Back The Woman's Revolution by Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald
In this their second book, feminist activists Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald share the story of Lynn, one of many women they supported, who was able to heal from more than four years of spousal non-state torture, human trafficking, and exploited into prostitution. Their compassion, expertise, and professionalism opened a path to healing for Lynn and the many others they supported. Interwoven with Lynn’s words — which were recorded by Jeanne and Linda and reviewed and corrected by Lynn — is the story of the authors more than 30 years of activism to document non-state torture, develop protocols to support women who have been tortured, and bring the need for legal protection to governments at the national and international levels. Acknowledging and enshrining in law women’s rights to be protected from non-state torture victimizations is a key component of the healing process. In Lynn’s words, “I’m feeling astonished and proud of my courage, of my strength, and of my will to survive.” In their first book, Women Unsilenced: Our Refusal to Let Torturer-Traffickers Win, Jeanne and Linda revealed the extent of non-state torture in the lives of girls and women, and the resistance of institutions, professional organizations, and governments of all stripes to acknowledge and effectively address the criminal activities of those who torture and traffic in the private sphere. With Healing-Lynn’s Story, Jeanne and Linda continue their revolutionary work to make the world a safe place for women and girls. Louise Rebelle Former feminist publisher of gynergy books

Instinctive Measures
The Guinea Pig Soldiers and the Poison Pill by Stephen Beardwood
When the battle ends, the real fight begins. For Stephen Beardwood, the war didn't stop when he returned home from deployment. Having been administered mefloquine, a controversial drug that had not passed clinical trials, he faced a different kind of enemy: devastating side effects that turned his life upside down. He calls it what it truly is—poisoning. In Instinctive Measures, follow the engaging and emotional journey of a warrior striving to reclaim his health, sanity, and place in the world. Struggling with a body and mind in turmoil, he embarks on a path of recovery that is as much about healing relationships as it is about physical and mental well-being. Through the journey to reconnect with his children, family, friends, and veteran community, he discovers the strength within himself and the power of genuine love and support. By embracing plant-based medicine and a whole-food diet, he finds a natural path to healing, rejecting the processed foods and prescription drugs that failed him. This is not just a personal story but a powerful call to action. He advocates fiercely for veterans’ rights, demanding more equitable pensions and veteran centric institutions and care. His voice is a beacon for others, highlighting the need for systemic reforms and a compassionate approach to those who have served. Instinctive Measures is more than a memoir. It’s a manifesto for change, a testament to resilience, and a moving story of learning not just to survive but to thrive. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true costs of war, the plight of veterans, and the power of community.

My Life, Pakistan and the Great Balidan
The Story of an Ordinary Man Through the Maze of Religion and Politics by Zaki Sabih
Every act of creation has the potential to change the world, whether a little bit at a time or all at once. The creation of Pakistan, in 1947, certainly changed the geopolitical landscape of the world forever. But the lives of more than fifteen million people were changed as well, with the partitioning of India sowing hatred and division between generational neighbors, turning long-standing harmony into brutally violent dissonance, and displacing entire families from their ancestral homes. This is the personal memoir of Author Zaki Sabih, who nearly eighty years ago found himself among those displaced millions, torn from both his homeland and his idyllic childhood for reasons he was far too young at the time to understand. But it is more than a memoir as well: It is the story of the millions of Indian Muslims who were slaughtered and betrayed in the name of Pakistan; an overt criticism of religious extremism and ultranationalism; and finally, a fiercely taken stance on the vital importance of secularism in all aspects of the political sphere.

Orc Hai!
by Thomas Fulton
Freya and her sisters who dubbed themselves “sisters of misery” were breed as half-orcs: a species specifically bred by an ambitious warlord to bolster his army. But women did not fit into his plan, and so Freya, Scara, Pohla, Fina, Tauna and Uta grew up as slaves in Chimera. Subjected to cruelty, Freya needs to be strong to keep her sisters alive. But she cannot save everyone and, following the tragic death of Uta, she knows that remaining in Chimera will only bring death. Through careful planning and a bit of luck, the sisters escape under cover of darkness and begin their journey to unknown destinations. The roads may be dangerous, but Freya discovers that the world ahead is far less cruel than the one they left behind. On their travels, the sisters uncover hidden talents: Freya is a strong leader and negotiator; Scara is an excellent fighter and a fierce protector; Pohla is skilled with animals and archery; Fina has a keen eye and Tauna has a flare or food. These skills assist them in battles against merciless creatures and in relationships with the good-hearted people they meet in their adventures. Still, despite unexpected kindness from new friends and strangers, Freya and her sisters remain half-orc women raised in a sheltered world. Freya worries if they will be accepted into the world of men, and if their talents can overcome their breeding.
