At the age of thirty-five, Jenifer dreams of falling in love and starting a family. Then she notices muscle twitches in her legs. Walking down a city block feels exhausting. At first, doctors write off Jenifer's symptoms to stress, but she is quickly diagnosed with ALS, a fatal brain disease that is absolutely untreatable. Max out your credit cards and see Paris, suggests one doctor. Instead of preparing to die, Jenifer gets busy. She dreams deeper, works harder, and loves endlessly. For Jenifer, being fatally ill is not about letting go. It's about holding on and reaching -- for family, friends, goals. Jenifer's girlhood pact with her sisters Valerie and Meredith -- nothing will ever break us apart -- guides them as Jenifer faces down one of the most devastating illnesses known to humankind. That same enduring pact inspires the creation of Project A.L.S., a movement started by the sisters that changes the way science and medicine approach research for ALS and the related diseases Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and which has already raised more than $18 million. Will Project A.L.S. help scientists discover medicine in time for her? Jenifer answers these questions and others in this beautifully written and wholly inspiring memoir that celebrates a life fuelled by memory.

Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",2020,"3.00",400,[133],{"id":134,"slug":135,"name":136},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[138,139,143,144],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":140,"name":141,"slug":142,"is_fiction":21},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":147,"themes":151,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[148,149,150],"dark","reflective","tense",[],{"id":153,"slug":154,"title":155,"description":156,"primary_cover_url":157,"cover_blurhash":158,"first_publish_year":159,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":160,"authors":161,"genres":166,"series":170,"enrichment":171},"01kx2ezfad0feqns54rgfbq9m2","aftershocks-3a5e","Aftershocks","In the tradition of The Glass Castle, this “gorgeous” (The New York Times, Editors’ Choice) and deeply felt memoir from Whiting Award winner Nadia Owusu tells the “incredible story” (Malala Yousafzai) about the push and pull of belonging, the seismic emotional toll of family secrets, and the heart it takes to pull through. “In Aftershocks, Nadia Owusu tells the incredible story of her young life. How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” —MALALA YOUSAFZAI ​ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 SELECTED BY VULTURE, TIME, ESQUIRE, NPR, AND VOGUE! Young Nadia Owusu followed her father, a United Nations official, from Europe to Africa and back again. Just as she and her family settled into a new home, her father would tell them it was time to say their goodbyes. The instability wrought by Nadia’s nomadic childhood was deepened by family secrets and fractures, both lived and inherited. Her Armenian American mother, who abandoned Nadia when she was two, would periodically reappear, only to vanish again. Her father, a Ghanaian, the great hero of her life, died when she was thirteen. After his passing, Nadia’s stepmother weighed her down with a revelation that was either a bombshell secret or a lie, rife with shaming innuendo. With these and other ruptures, Nadia arrived in New York as a young woman feeling stateless, motherless, and uncertain about her future, yet eager to find her own identity. What followed, however, were periods of depression in which she struggled to hold herself and her siblings together. “A magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters” (Elle), Aftershocks depicts the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. “Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism” (The Washington Post), Aftershocks joins the likes of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and William Styron’s Darkness Visible, and does for race identity what Maggie Nelson does for gender identity in The Argonauts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g.jpg?v=abd45b6424","LZM3Tb=Y}qW,:+O=,pt7BoIpwgV[",2021,320,[162],{"id":163,"slug":164,"name":165},"01kx2ezfanvz9stpf6aa86geg2","nadia-owusu-iafq","Nadia Owusu",[167,168,169],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":172,"themes":173,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,149,88],[],{"id":175,"slug":176,"title":177,"description":178,"primary_cover_url":179,"cover_blurhash":180,"first_publish_year":181,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":182,"authors":183,"genres":188,"series":192,"enrichment":193},"01kx2951hfcerganp7n353sa9r","more-than-enough-dqal","More Than Enough","INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2020 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK — BIOGRAPHY\u002FAUTOBIOGRAPHY NOW OPTIONED FOR DEVELOPMENT AS A TV SERIES BY PARAMOUNT TELEVISION STUDIOS AND ANONYMOUS CONTENT “The millennial Becoming . . .

Welteroth moves beyond the headlines and highlight reels to share the profound lessons and struggles of being a barrier-breaker across so many intersections.

Going to Parties in Tehran. Watching the Marx Brothers in Tehran. ReadingLolitain Tehran.” I wrote about repressive laws and executions, about public and political abominations. Eventually I drifted into writing about private betrayals, implicating myself and those close to me in ways I had never imagined. --FromThings I Have Been Silent About Azar Nafisi, author of the beloved international bestsellerReading Lolita in Tehran, now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country’s political revolution. A girl’s pain over family secrets; a young woman’s discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheaval–these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir, as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and “reminds us of why we read in the first place” (Newsday). Nafisi’s intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerizing fictions about herself, her family, and her past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed. Nafisi’s father escaped into narratives of another kind, enchanting his children with the classic tales like the Shahnamah, the Persian Book of Kings. When her father started seeing other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi’s complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal, as well as political, cultural, and social, injustices. Reaching back in time to reflect on other generations in the Nafisi family,Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis also a powerful historical portrait of a family that spans many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, which turned Azar Nafisi’s beloved Iran into a religious dictatorship. Writing of her mother’s historic term in Parliament, even while her father, once mayor of Tehran, was in jail, Nafisi explores the remarkable “coffee hours” her mother presided over, where at first women came together to gossip, to tell fortunes, and to give silent acknowledgment of things never spoken about, and which then evolved into gatherings where men and women would meet to openly discuss the unfolding revolution. Things I’ve Been Silent Aboutis, finally, a deeply personal reflection on women’s choices, and on how Azar Nafisi found the inspiration for a different kind of life. This unforgettable portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is a stunning book that readers will embrace, a new triumph from an author who is a modern master of the memoir.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25x5bn1k9fxsbnce4a8acr.jpg?v=5b58a6e597","LuNmc-s;t7t7~qbHWBjaI9f6ofWV",2008,352,[206],{"id":207,"slug":208,"name":209},"01kjtmqk5cxq3h0pf50v43vqd0","azar-nafisi-5wth","Azar Nafisi",[211,212,213,214,218],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":215,"name":216,"slug":217,"is_fiction":21},79,"Education","education",{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":21},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":224,"themes":225,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[149,89],[],{"id":227,"slug":228,"title":229,"description":230,"primary_cover_url":231,"cover_blurhash":232,"first_publish_year":181,"community_rating_avg":233,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":234,"authors":235,"genres":240,"series":244,"enrichment":245},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Marcus Samuelsson was only three years old when he, his mother, and his sister--all battling tuberculosis--walked seventy-five miles to a hospital in the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Adaba. Tragically, his mother succumbed to the disease shortly after she arrived, but Marcus and his sister recovered, and one year later, they were welcomed into a loving middle-class white family in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was there that Marcus's new grandmother, Helga, sparked in him a lifelong passion for food and cooking with her pan-fried herring, her freshly baked bread, and her signature roast chicken. From a very early age, there was little question what Marcus was going to be when he grew up. Yes, Chef chronicles Marcus Samuelsson's remarkable journey from Helga's humble kitchen to some of the most demanding and cutthroat restaurants in Switzerland and France, from his grueling stints on cruise ships to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a coveted New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. But Samuelsson's career of \"chasing flavors,\" as he calls it, had only just begun--in the intervening years, there have been White House State dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs and, most important, the opening of the beloved Red Rooster in Harlem. At Red Rooster, Samuelsson has fufilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room--a place where presidents and prime ministers rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, bus drivers, and nurses. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home. With disarming honesty and intimacy, Samuelsson also opens up about his failures as a man--the price of ambition, in human terms--and recounts his emotional journey, as a grown man, to meet the father he never knew. Yes, Chef is a tale of personal discovery, unshakable determination, and the passionate, playful pursuit of flavors--one man's struggle to find a place for himself in the kitchen, and in the world\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2e8p85754qs5kcr5y9h1er.jpg?v=1e29942bcb","LDFMzd$f0jI=}n$$I=NI1Js.}DR,",2012,319,[284],{"id":285,"slug":286,"name":287},"01kx2e8p7gpq0q6j29w5f8a61g","marcus-samuelsson-vhwh","Marcus Samuelsson",[289,290,291],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":292,"name":293,"slug":294,"is_fiction":21},112,"Cooking","cooking",[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":297,"themes":299,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,298],"heartwarming",[],{"id":301,"slug":302,"title":303,"description":304,"primary_cover_url":305,"cover_blurhash":306,"first_publish_year":307,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":308,"authors":309,"genres":314,"series":321,"enrichment":322},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).

If you discipline, you're buying them a spot on the shrink's couch; if you let them run wild, they will be into drugs by seventh grade. If you buy organic, you're spending their college fund; if you don't, you're risking all sorts of allergies and illnesses.Is it any wonder so many women refer to themselves at one time or another as \"a bad mother\"? Ayelet Waldman says it's time for women to get over it and get on with it, in a book that is sure to spark the same level of controversy as her now legendary \"Modern Love\" piece, in which she confessed to loving her husband more than her children.Covering topics as diverse as the hysteria of competitive parenting (Whose toddler can recite the planets in order from the sun?), the relentless pursuits of the Bad Mother police, balancing the work-family dynamic, and the bane of every mother's existence (homework, that is), Bad Mother illuminates the anxieties that riddle motherhood today, while providing women with the encouragement they need to give themselves a break.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx294e7p57mf2qqewbpdyx8v.jpg?v=d25f3af4c2","LBNd%gxG77WZY8tRxtt61SWBrpj]",2009,213,[335],{"id":336,"slug":337,"name":338},"01kph46ag4wr9n2masb0c0rh7h","ayelet-waldman-d8ha","Ayelet Waldman",[340,344,345],{"id":341,"name":342,"slug":343,"is_fiction":20},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":270,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":348,"themes":350,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[349,149],"funny",[],[352,459,580],{"key":353,"params":354,"works":355},"genre_year",{"genre":36,"year":9},[356,367,390,401,414,438],{"id":249,"slug":250,"title":251,"description":252,"primary_cover_url":253,"cover_blurhash":254,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":255,"authors":357,"genres":359,"series":363,"enrichment":364},[358],{"id":258,"slug":259,"name":260},[360,361,362],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":264,"name":265,"slug":266,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":270,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":365,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[150,272],[],{"id":368,"slug":369,"title":370,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":371,"cover_blurhash":372,"first_publish_year":373,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":374,"authors":375,"genres":380,"series":386,"enrichment":387},"01kwzr5xjxkqhrg7v5b8jpqztk","soul-survivor-olpd","Soul Survivor","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr5xmbpe0zpm4zr20yzpan.jpg?v=b929687bba","LSHKC8I=Iq%1}TW;R-n%AHxFf$NH",2001,336,[376],{"id":377,"slug":378,"name":379},"01kpcdb64ffxnn3gkgrfepqq0c","philip-yancey-1dsy","Philip Yancey",[381,382],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":383,"name":384,"slug":385,"is_fiction":21},107,"Christianity","christianity",[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":388,"themes":389,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,149],[],{"id":326,"slug":327,"title":328,"description":329,"primary_cover_url":330,"cover_blurhash":331,"first_publish_year":332,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":333,"authors":391,"genres":393,"series":397,"enrichment":398},[392],{"id":336,"slug":337,"name":338},[394,395,396],{"id":341,"name":342,"slug":343,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":270,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":399,"themes":400,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[349,149],[],{"id":197,"slug":198,"title":199,"description":200,"primary_cover_url":201,"cover_blurhash":202,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":204,"authors":402,"genres":404,"series":410,"enrichment":411},[403],{"id":207,"slug":208,"name":209},[405,406,407,408,409],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":215,"name":216,"slug":217,"is_fiction":21},{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":412,"themes":413,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[149,89],[],{"id":415,"slug":416,"title":417,"description":418,"primary_cover_url":419,"cover_blurhash":420,"first_publish_year":421,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":374,"authors":422,"genres":427,"series":434,"enrichment":435},"01kx26t0a3tz8hpv509x3djyp8","the-bielski-brothers-the-true-story-of-three-men-who-defied-the-nazis-built-a-village-in-the-forest-and-saved-1200-jews-y9ga","The Bielski Brothers The True Story of Three Men Who Defied the Nazis, Built a Village in the Forest, and Saved 1,200 Jews","In 1941, three brothers witnessed their parents and two other siblings being led away to their eventual murders.

Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin.

He's stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts. At the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life: serving the work, serving the audience, selectivity, discernment, discipline, and community. This book is both a memoir of Andrew's journey and a handbook for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation, written in the hope that his story will provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ. - Back cover.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr7cpnde1bm08p61qaqjg2.jpg?v=f459f2a949","L24.b%tQ4Taf.lozMdaeNFayxtj[",224,[506],{"id":507,"slug":508,"name":509},"01kny771ggvqe1jhencmkkbsys","andrew-peterson-46vo","Andrew Peterson",[511,512],{"id":383,"name":384,"slug":385,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":515,"themes":516,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[149,88],[],{"id":518,"slug":519,"title":520,"description":521,"primary_cover_url":522,"cover_blurhash":523,"first_publish_year":524,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":525,"authors":526,"genres":531,"series":539,"enrichment":540},"01kx23jnsw322gpqmw2n0xsfmt","i-am-the-central-park-jogger-a-story-of-hope-and-possibility-vqw6","I Am the Central Park Jogger A Story of Hope and Possibility","A timeless, “triumphant” (Entertainment Weekly) story of healing and recovery from the victim of a crime that shocked the nation: the Central Park Jogger. As featured in When They See Us—the Netflix limited series created, written, and directed by Ava DuVernay that retells the story of the Central Park Five, the young men wrongly accused of this crime. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a young woman jogs alone near 102nd Street in New York City's Central Park. She is attacked, raped, savagely beaten, and left for dead. Hours later she arrives at the emergency room—comatose—she has lost so much blood that her doctors believe it’s a miracle she's still alive. Meet Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. I Am the Central Park Jogger recounts the mesmerizing, inspiring, often wrenching story of human strength and transcendent recovery.

With “moments of unexpected grace and insights into life’s challenges….Meili’s story—the story the public never knew—is unforgettable” (The Buffalo News).","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23jntf5755fe2s0raaj2zw.jpg?v=02d0d32171","LVPP_hyCXlMd.TRksWo}tnVsVstR",2003,280,[527],{"id":528,"slug":529,"name":530},"01kx23jnt94mkg614b97mbk48t","trisha-meili-nggg","Trisha Meili",[532,533,534,535],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":140,"name":141,"slug":142,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":536,"name":537,"slug":538,"is_fiction":21},95,"Self-Help","self-help",[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":541,"themes":542,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,149],[],{"id":544,"slug":545,"title":546,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":547,"cover_blurhash":548,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":374,"authors":549,"genres":554,"series":557,"enrichment":558},"01kx26g0kk0bvddzwc9k764yd5","old-friend-from-far-away-the-practice-of-writing-memoir-o24h","Old Friend from Far Away The Practice of Writing Memoir","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26g0kyc4rbph216hcfcxc5.jpg?v=59f77d2a00","LLO4MAt7_NtRx]ayRjj[_3a|D$of",[550],{"id":551,"slug":552,"name":553},"01ks60p7tg0eepscye5qe44qbg","natalie-goldberg-0t56","Natalie Goldberg",[555,556],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":559,"themes":560,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[149,88],[],{"id":562,"slug":563,"title":564,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":565,"cover_blurhash":566,"first_publish_year":105,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":567,"authors":568,"genres":573,"series":576,"enrichment":577},"01kx2449ya9wc7q3afbeqy1rv5","born-fire-dragon-wffj","Born Fire Dragon","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2449yxwqx1erw4vjtrgmfb.jpg?v=64fdf85d4f","LzM=@CVtkWkC~Vt6ShaytSW.t6n%",190,[569],{"id":570,"slug":571,"name":572},"01kx2449yqdaxnzktppss18xjd","susan-kiskis-846m","Susan Kiskis",[574,575],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":578,"themes":579,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,149],[],{"key":581,"params":582,"works":583},"genre",{"genre":40},[584,596,619,630,648,668],{"id":123,"slug":124,"title":125,"description":126,"primary_cover_url":127,"cover_blurhash":128,"first_publish_year":129,"community_rating_avg":130,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":131,"authors":585,"genres":587,"series":592,"enrichment":593},[586],{"id":134,"slug":135,"name":136},[588,589,590,591],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":140,"name":141,"slug":142,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":594,"themes":595,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[148,149,150],[],{"id":597,"slug":598,"title":599,"description":600,"primary_cover_url":601,"cover_blurhash":602,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":233,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":160,"authors":603,"genres":608,"series":615,"enrichment":616},"01kx29j5nzv4n7cnhrv3c3h00t","three-little-words-tijf","Three Little Words","Ashley spent nine years in foster care after being taken away from her mother.

She ran into her two-year-old son Evan's room and found him having a seizure. Doctor after doctor misdiagnosed Evan until, after many harrowing, life-threatening episodes, one good doctor discovered that Evan is autistic. With a foreword from Dr. David Feinberg, medical director of the Resnick Neuro-psychiatric Hospital at UCLA, and an introduction by Jerry J. Kartzinel, a top pediatric autism specialist, Louder Than Words follows Jenny as she discovered an intense combination of behavioral therapy, diet, and supplements that became the key to saving Evan from autism. Her story sheds much-needed light on autism through her own heartbreak, struggle, and ultimately hopeful example of how a parent can shape a child's life and happiness.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27p5ctsfvdtexms2n0sd67.jpg?v=8545385f9e","LMKLds%h_4xC08MxM{bw0@oJDhR.",[638],{"id":639,"slug":640,"name":641},"01kvk8n1antjamd5xj5yasfwwy","jenny-mccarthy-golo","Jenny McCarthy",[643],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":646,"themes":647,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,89],[],{"id":649,"slug":650,"title":651,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":652,"cover_blurhash":653,"first_publish_year":654,"community_rating_avg":233,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":7,"authors":655,"genres":660,"series":663,"enrichment":664},"01kx24m5dazxf1c9ay5tvm14p8","the-memory-palace-jwxb","The Memory Palace","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24m5e8pbrjzp1y53zhq0ft.jpg?v=11a133963f","LLOpJE%2%fjF~pj]WWt7_0WBWBoe",2011,[656],{"id":657,"slug":658,"name":659},"01kx24m5draw0v3h7tng5s5czm","mira-bartok-gvkl","Mira Bartok",[661,662],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":665,"themes":667,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[666,149],"melancholic",[],{"id":669,"slug":670,"title":671,"description":672,"primary_cover_url":673,"cover_blurhash":674,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":7,"authors":675,"genres":680,"series":683,"enrichment":684},"01kx29pk4ftngfjrz51ndpxg54","pretty-is-what-changes-kamt","Pretty is what changes","A timely, affecting memoir from the front lines of medical science: When genetics can predict how we may die, how then do we decide how to live?Eleven months after her mother succumbs to cancer, Jessica Queller has herself tested for the BRCA \"breast cancer\" gene mutation. The results come back positive, putting her at a terrifyingly elevated risk of developing breast cancer before the age of fifty and ovarian cancer in her lifetime. Thirty-four, unattached, and yearning for marriage and a family of her own, Queller faces an agonizing choice: a lifetime of vigilant screenings and a commitment to fight the disease when caught, or its radical alternative--a prophylactic double mastectomy that would effectively restore life to her, even as it would challenge her most closely held beliefs about body image, identity, and sexuality. Superbly informed and armed with surprising wit and style, Queller takes us on an odyssey from the frontiers of science to the private interiors of a woman's life. Pretty Is What Changes is an absorbing account of how she reaches her courageous decision and its physical, emotional, and philosophical consequences. It is also an incredibly moving story of what we inherit from our parents and how we fashion it into the stuff of our own lives, of mothers and daughters and sisters, and of the sisterhood that forms when women are united in battle against a common enemy. Without flinching, Jessica Queller answers a question we may one day face for ourselves: If genes can map our fates and their dark knowledge is offered to us, will we willingly trade innocence for the information that could save our lives?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx29pk4xaj1sqxpbzrfb96av.jpg?v=f09e218928","LPM?k~4:NbxZ^j~qxZMxxZ%1ofRk",[676],{"id":677,"slug":678,"name":679},"01kx29pk4thz1qfrka4yvg6s15","jessica-queller-tlrd","Jessica Queller",[681,682],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":685,"themes":686,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,149],[],[688],{"id":689,"slug":690,"title":691,"user":692,"work_id":4,"is_draft":21,"verified_reader":20,"featured":21,"body":699,"overall_rating":700,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":701,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":702,"like_count":18,"comment_count":18,"top_likers":703,"viewer_can_reply":21,"created_at":704,"updated_at":704},"01kx26ssn134shdmkyxgz52a6b","review-of-tales-from-the-bed-by-tara-nelson","Review of \"Tales from the Bed\" by tara_nelson",{"id":693,"name":694,"username":695,"avatar_url":696,"is_system":21,"published_reviews_count":697,"books_read_count":698},622,"Tara Nelson","tara_nelson","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Favatars\u002F622.webp?v=1783556101",1052,1231,"Loved, loved, loved this book!\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>I had to go on a waiting list for this book at the bookstore because they were sold out of all of their copies.  I originally heard about Tales from the Bed when I saw the documentary \"Three Sisters\" on HBO.  I was so deeply moved by the story of these three sisters (Jennifer, Meredith and Vanessa) as they struggled to get answers and medical treatment for Jennifer, that I wanted more.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Jennifer Estes was struck with ALS, AKA Lou Gehrig's Disease, in the prime of her life.  She was living in New York, friends with several celebrities (including Ben Stiller) and having the time of her life.  When she first began to develop ALS, her doctors were unable to give her a diagnosis.  There were a lot of guesses.  Jennifer and her two sisters, and her parents, banded together to get specialists from various medical fields to research what was going with Jennifer and what kind of treatments were available for her.  This memoir chronicles Jennifer's fight for a cure, the creation of Project ALS by her and her sisters, and the beginning discoveries medical experts made with stem cell research.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Jennifer spoke in front of Congress on several occassions, along with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Reeve, to gain funding for stem cell research and the hope that stem cells would be able to reverse their illnesses (Parkinson's, ALS, and spinal cord injuries).  Jennifer hoped that stem cell research would reach human clinical trials before ALS took her life.  The research funding was blocked by President Bush, but that did not deter Jennifer, Meredith and Vanessa from continuing to fight and fund research.  Ben Stiller was able to put together several celebrity charity events on behalf of Project ALS to raise money for research.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Jennifer's story is at once heartbreaking and joyous.  THrough the convictions of three women, medical professionals from different specialties came together to work for one cause: find a cure for illnesses like ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimers and spinal cord injuries.  These professionals may not have collaborated if it had not been for the love these sisters had for each other.  Project ALS has had many more breakthroughs since being formed by the three sisters.  Jennifer's story and determination send the message: \"Never give up.\"\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>After watching \"Three Sisters\" and reading \"Tales From the Bed\", I have followed the progress of Project ALS and the efforts of the Estes sisters (Meredith and Vanessa), Nancy Reagan and MIchael J. Fox as they continue to speak in front of Congress on stem cell research.  The story of Jennifer Estes broke my heart!  This is the kind of book that I would recommend to anyone, it's so beautifully told and very heartbreaking real.",5,"none","rv-01kx26ssn134shdmkyxgz52a6b",[],"2026-07-09T01:10:15.000000Z"]
