In 2007, Amy Dunne was barely seventeen years old and pregnant with a baby girl who had anencephaly, meaning the baby was certain to die before or at birth. Amy, who was temporarily in the care of the HSE, told a social worker about her plan to travel for a termination. Although she was supported by her family and by the baby's father, she was told by the HSE that it would not be possible for her to travel, so Amy had to fight her case in the High Court. Her private tragedy quickly became an extremely public story. Now in her thirties, with the Eighth Amendment repealed, Amy reflects on the culture of shame that she and many other Irish women lived through. I am Amy Dunne is ultimately a story of enormous resilience and power.

Book Description
"Destiny Ours is a wonderful story of faith, courage and survival and a welcome addition to the history of the Greatest Generation." -Senator Bob Dole. This is the story of Capt. William F. Duffy, first man to drop a bomb on Japan in WWII from a B-29, later missing in action over Singapore. Before Duffy passed away - October 18, 1991 - his son made a promise to write his story. William, Jr. and his wife, Jan, traveled to Malaysia in July 1997 and spent six weeks retracing his father's footsteps, located the crash site of the B-29, gathered scraps of the wreckage, and visited with Malays who were present that fateful morning of January 11, 1945. Spanning seven years and countless hours of research, writing, and review, Duffy's son expanded his father's diary of his 8 month, 600 mile trek barefoot through the jungles of Malaya three degrees off the equator. Capt. Duffy battled thick jungle, swamps, swollen rivers, monsoon rains, jungle leeches, disease, death, the Chinese communist guerrillas, and the struggle to stay alive and out of the grasp of the Japanese enemy. Fulfilling his promise to his wife, Peggy: "If they tell you I'm missing or dead don't believe it, I'm coming back!"

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Winner of the 2022 BookTube Silver Medal in Fiction * Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction "A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times." -David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue A rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he's searching for lost love. Years later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited--- her only connection to her family's troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. A moving, beautifully written, and delicately constructed story of love, division, transcendence, history, and eco-consciousness, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak's best work yet.
